Outlook
Genm Outlook :

GenM has finally returned to black mainly driven by capacity ramp up and increase in footfall from subsided Omicron wave and foreign visitors from border reopening. Looking ahead, the recovery trajectory should continue for RWG from (i) hotel capacity ramp up (room available as at July was 7.6k vs. 6k in June); (ii) theme park capacity ramp up (3 more rides by 4Q22); and (iii) increase in foreign visitations as more countries relax their border restrictions. The current weak local currency should bode well for foreign visitations. Furthermore, the opening of SkyWorlds theme park also allows RWG to attract a large and previously untapped Muslim market which represents c.63% of Malaysia population. GenM will be able to harness the full potential of SkyWorlds in 2H22 as capacity ramps up. The increased footfall to the theme park should have a positive spillover effect to the other venues in RWG

OWG: The worst is likely over

A victim of Covid-19. Listed in the Main market since 2014, OWG Berhad (OWG) is an investment holding company that manages and operates F&B and leisure-related brands found in popular resorts and shopping malls. The group's F&B outlets, water amusement parks, and family attractions are strategically located in tourist attractions, such as Genting Highlands, Komtar Tower at Penang and Klang Valley.

As the group business is primarily involved in the tourism industry, the onset of Covid-19 has heavily affected the group's operation. The decline of business volume from its Food service operation as well as the Amusement and recreation operation has whipped 79% of its FY19 revenue of RM123m to RM25m in FY21. In turn, the group chalked into red in FY20 (the first loss-making FY since it was listed), and the loss expanded further to RM42m in FY22. Nonetheless, we see the return of tourism following Malaysia's transition toward endemicity as a turning point for OWG as it will drive more footfall to its F&B outlet and family attractions.

A comeback. As of 21 June, Malaysia has already surpassed its full-year target of 2m incoming tourist arrivals. Genting Highlands, where most of its outlets are located and made up 40% of OWG's bottom line back in 2019, has seen its footfall gaining traction supported by (i) pent-up demand for travel, (ii) the depreciation of ringgit, and (iii) the launches of GentingSkyworld theme park. We flag that the group turnaround 3QFY22 (report until 31 March) had yet to reflect the strong return of foreign tourists as Malaysia only reopened its international border on 1 April 2022. In view of solid recovery momentum (2H seasonally stronger earnings), we expect greater business volume in its F&B outlet and family attractions and thus better earnings going forward.

4Q22 results ahead of expectation

Maintain BUY and MYR1.90 TP
FY22 core net profit of MYR335m was 10% above our estimate, fuelled
mainly by the strength of the oil price realized (+34% QoQ) at its North
Sabah ops in 4Q22. Our estimates are unchanged, on stronger operating/
financial outlook in FY23, benefiting from the full-year impact of its
Repsol ops. Our TP is unchanged, pegged to a USD11/boe of EV/2P
reserves valuation; undemanding relative to peers’ USD18/boe.

4Q22: A spectacular performance
Core net profit of MYR210m (+497% QoQ; 6-fold increase) in 4Q22 took
FY22 core earnings to MYR335m (+223% YoY), 110% of our FY estimate.
The better-than-expected QoQ performance was driven by relatively
higher: (i) oil, condensate & gas sold at the group level (2.2x to 2.2m
boe) and ASP of crude oil realized, especially at its North Sabah ops:
+34% to USD120/bbl, followed by Anasuria ops (+5% to USD128/bbl). For
FY22, it sold a higher 4.6m boe of oil equivalent (+22% YoY), comprising
3.5m bbls of oil and 1.1m boe of gas.

Expect a stronger FY23
We look forward to a stronger FY23 (+78% YoY core net profit). The YoY
strength will largely be underpinned mainly by the full-year impact of its
Repsol ops (vs. 6M in FY22). Operationally, it targets to sell 7.2m-7.5m
boe of oil, condensate and gas in FY23 (+57%-63% YoY) in FY23. Based on
its 1HFY23 planned off-take schedule, it aims to sell up to 1.6m/ 2.6m
boe of oil, condensate & gas in 1QFY23/ 2QFY23, which would account
for 22%/ 36% of its FY23’s sales. We see upside to our earnings estimates,
should it accelerate its development plans. Gearing up to fast-track
growth is a possibility.

More positives in the pipeline
Hibiscus remains the best play for a cyclical, strong energy price market.
It is fundamentally sound, financially resilient and offers compelling
growth with undemanding valuations. Securing Field Development
Planning (FDP) approval on Marigold would: (i) turn its 43.6m bbls of 2C
resources to 2P reserves, (ii) lift its Group’s 2P reserves by 60% to
115.9m bbls and (iii) make it a more attractive M&A proposition. An
extension on Repsol’s PSC (beyond 2032) would also be positive in
improving Repsol’s NPV and potentially adding a further 30m bbls of 2P
reserves to Hibiscus.

"Anasuria assets are valuable cash cows. With low operating expense per barrel (opex/bbl) of less than USD20, we estimate the unit’s cash-breakeven crude oil price to be at about USD25 per barrel – based on our calculations. In the event of an oil price crash, we are comforted by the fact that these low cash opex levels to provide shelter from going into deep operating loss. With that, we deem the Anasuria assets to be a valuable cash cow. Meanwhile, we estimate the unit’s breakeven price to be at about USD45 per barrel on the net level" - HLInvest 19/1/2022

Managing Director, Financial Controller & Factory Manager are all ladies. Your company is in safe hands.

PROSPECTS - Q4 JUNE 2021 REPORT : PERFORMANCE LIKELY TO MAINTAIN IN THE COMING QUARTER

Resurgence of new Covid-19 Delta variants outbreaks hamper the recovery of world economic.
Mass vaccinations will be the only solutions to contain the Covid-19 and bring back normality.
On the other hand, geopolitical tensions and trade wars among the blocs will continue and create
uncertainties to the world market.

Harbour-Link’s business activities are mainly domestic based. The important concerns that
presently affect our group business activities are the worsen of covid-19 outbreaks and the
increase of fuel cost. We are maneuvering and mitigating our cost risk to the lowest level.
Our shipping and marine division had achieved good results for the financial year ended 30th
June 2021. Based on current strong domestic demands and favorable freight rates, we are likely
to maintain favorable results in the coming quarter.

Our integrated logistic division performance has been affected by the continuous Covid-19
outbreaks that disrupted our operation activities and our clients’ factories productions. We are
likely to maintain our performance in the coming quarter.

Our engineering division is less active at present. We expect recoveries in oil and gas industries,
we expect to secure new projects in the coming months.

Hence, for our financial year 2022, we expect to be challenging but we shall exercise caution
and keep abreast on the current economic situation while monitoring cost control and operation
efficiency. At the same time, we are looking for other business opportunities that will bring
positive stream of income to our Group.
