Period     1Q13

Actual vs. Expectations    The 1Q13 results were broadly in line with a net profit of RM46.8m, accounted for 22% of ours as well as the street's FY13 full-year estimates.

Dividends    No dividend was declared in 1Q13 as expected.

Key Results Highlights     The 1Q13 net income contracted by 6% QoQ to RM46.8m from RM49.6m previously as the revenue eased 17% in the quarter. The weaker results were mainly due to a lower contribution from Plant Maintenance activities, especially in Malaysia and Singapore. Note also that the company's NZ-based Fitzroy Engineering reported poorer results in 1Q13 with its PBT dropping 35% QoQ to RM2.8m from RM4.4m previously.

On a YoY comparison, the 1Q13 net profit rose 5% from that of RM44.5m in 1Q12 while the revenue jumped 17% to RM417.0m from RM355.2m a year ago. This was partly owing to the Pengerang CTF EPCC works, new earnings from Jubail Supply Base and improved sales from the Specialist Products and Services division.

Outlook    Although 1Q13 was a soft start for FY13, we are confident that Dialog will be able to meet our FY13 estimate as well as that of the market consensus as Phase 1 of Pengerang CTF will be progressing towards its tail end in 2H13, which means more billings ahead.

In addition, the forward earnings are expected to reach a new high in FY13 with the full-year earnings impact of LT2, the EPCC jobs for Pengerang CTF and the fabrication job for Balai Marginal Fields. These in-house EPCC/fabrication jobs should keep Dialog busy until 2014.

Both the Balai RSC and Bayan OSC will turn Dialog from a service provider to a developer and producer of oil/gas field, which will provide it sustainable recurring incomes in the future.

Change to Forecasts    No changes to our FY13-FY14E estimates


Rating    MAINTAIN OUTPERFORM

Valuation     Maintaining our price target of RM2.79/SOP a share

Risks     Delays in its in-house EPCC jobs, which will impact its future recurring incomes negatively.
