(SINGAPORE) ABS has awarded Approval in Principle to Bumi Armada’s pioneering
design for a floating carbon storage and injection unit (FCSIU).


Bumi Armada’s FCSIU concept is a floating terminal capable of storing and injecting liquified carbon dioxide (LCO2) into depleted oil and gas fields or aquifers. This novel concept incorporates the ability to accept LCO2 deliveries in an offshore setting, the flexibility to manage LCO2 at low or medium pressure, the provision of LCO2 buffer storage and the preparation of LCO2 for sequestration - permanent storage of CO2 deep beneath the seabed.

A Rising Tide Floats All Boats

FPSO clients are increasingly favouring asset ownership over
leasing due to limited contractor availability and financing
challenges. Hence, the barrier of entry to the FPSO market has
also risen for potential new entrants. The tight FPSO market
remains favorable for existing players. We maintain our forecasts,
TP of RM3.39 and OUTPERFORM call.

We came away from meeting with Energy Maritime Associates (EMA)
organised by YINSON feeling more reassured about the FPSO market
outlook. The key takeaways are as follows:

1. A trend is emerging where clients (end-users of FPSO assets) opt
to own the FPSOs, securing contractors' services solely for the
Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) phase of the
project. In both 2022 and 2023, a total of 11 contracts followed this
structure, with clients taking ownership of the assets. This shift may
be attributed to a shortage of capacity among FPSO contractors
and increased challenges in obtaining debt financing from banks,
likely influenced by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
considerations.

2. Traditional banks are increasingly reluctant to provide debt
financing to FPSO contractors due to growing (ESG) concerns.
This reluctance raises entry barriers for new players aiming to enter
the FPSO market, given the substantial capex required for such
projects. Established FPSO players with proven track records are
exploring alternative financing avenues, such as project bond
instruments, private equity funding, and prepayments by clients on
their leases and this has led to limited FPSO players bidding for
new FPSO jobs unless the IRR is attractive enough.

3. The FPSO market is anticipated to remain tight in 2024, as
indicated by EMA's survey, revealing record-high industry
confidence. About 93% of clients express confidence in their
companies' outlook, a notable increase in 2024 from 77% in 2023.
Easing concerns of inflation in 2024 suggest that the prices of
spare parts and labour will not experience the same rapid
increase seen in 2023. Consequently, FPSO contract awards may
also see a YoY increase in 2024, surpassing the six awards
recorded in 2023.

After an analyst briefing yesterday, we reduced FY24F-26F
earnings by 12%/7%/9% to account for weaker sales orders
from VSI’s key customers and lower profit margin assumptions
to reflect lower economies of scale.

 Specifically, VSI’s 1HFY24F revenue will be impacted mainly by
VSI’s key customer, Customer X (which account for 25%-30%
of VSI’s FY24F revenue), as a result of its high inventory levels
coupled with current weak consumer sentiments, especially in
Western regions due to elevated inflation and interest rates.

Bumi Armada Berhad refers to its previous disclosures regarding its 30% associated company, Armada 98/2 Pte Ltd and wishes to announce that the Armada Sterling V FPSO has successfully achieved “First Oil” production on 7 January 2024. Following this, the Armada Sterling V FPSO will commence the necessary acceptance tests to achieve Final Acceptance, which is required for the vessel charter to commence. We will make further announcements regarding the matter as appropriate.

Kenanga Report
KUALA LUMPUR: The ongoing restoration of Bumi Armada Bhd's Armada Kraken floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel could put the facility's operations back on track within the next one or two months, says Kenanga Research.

In a note, the research firm said it is positive over the progressive restoration of the Kraken FPSO's production, which cushions concerns of a major financial impact to Bumi Armada.

This comes following the offshore service provider's announcement yesterday that it had reconditioned and reinstalled a hydraulic submersible pump (HSP) transformer on the vessel, which brought its operating level back to 90% of pre-shutdown levels.

"We applaud Bumi Armada for reinstating operations close to full capacity in less than two months since the first shut-in announcement," said Kenanga in its company update.

On June 2, 2023, Bumi Armada announced that the Kraken FPSO had experienced a production shut-in following the failure of its HSP transformer unit, guiding that that there would be material impact resulting from the Kraken's shut-in.

By June 21, the Kraken achieved start-up and was able to operate at about 60% of its pre-shutdown levels.

Kenanga said it factored in a partial loss of bareboat charter income from the Kraken for June to August 2023, which is reflected by a "benign" 9% impact in its current forecasts


STARPICKS
Experience comfort and safety with the innovative KDK DC 5 series ceiling fan
Following the latest update, Kenanga said it maintained its "outperform" recommendation and sum-of-parts target price of 62 sen a share.

"We like Armada for sustained traction in its efforts to deleverage its balance sheet (current net gearing: 0.8x), long-term earnings visibility from substantial orderbook in excess of RM20bil (including extension options), and it being the leading contender for a US$1bil EPCC contract for FPSO Cameia," it said.

However, it cautioned that investor sentiment may still be dragged lower by the possibility that the financial impact of the Kraken shut-in may be larger than expected.

It said there could also be substantial vessel repair and maintenance costs that are not fully covered by insurance, while client Enquest may request for reimbursement or impose penalties on Bumi Armada.

remember buy the rumor and sell the news.

Trade receivable almost as large as 1 quarter of revenue. Logic?
Especially the receivable is from China.

We slash our earnings forecast for FY23F-25F by 23-42%, to account for the decline in household spending. Our TP is reduced to RM1.16

Niki, where you get the update? Enquest IR or the xxx at Enquest, who operate the Kraken field
------------------------------------------------------------------
nikicheong A positive update, the Armada Kraken FPSO is targeted to return to full production in the matter of weeks, not months. We're looking at between the next 2 to 4 weeks.

Trust your own research and the rest to do is wait patiently

niki, no need wait for any research report. We all know well where armada can reach =)

announcement later , tommorow open 0.60

niki, please note that there are plan to restart this week. This doesn't mean 100% work as they did try restart before this but fail

Do not forget EnQuest chat actually is just another public forum like i3investor.

The fact is CPO price hardly go up further.
At the same time cost of production is surging due to
1) high fernitiser price
2) min. wages raise from RM1,200 to Rm1,500

Y23Q1 another additional profit coming in.

30%-owned Armada Sterling V (the remaining 70% owned by Oil and Natural Gas Corporation) has sailed away in early November this year and is expected to arrive in the east coast of Kakinada, offshore India by the end of 2022. This paves the path for maiden earnings contributions from the vessel from 1QFY23 onwards.

Dun forget that no more Kraken & TGT shutdown for maintenance in next quarters.

Adjustments:
Net allowance for impairment: +RM4.5m
Reduction in residual vessels (fully owned): +RM25.9m
Reduction in residual vessels (JV and associates): +RM45.1m
Unrealised FX Gain: -RM8.2m

Adjusted Core Net Profit: RM217.0m

AGM22 : Serving Shopee staffs reduce 40% from 1500 to 900.

Impact will been reflect in coming quarters.

expected higher profit in coming quaters.............

Mr Targett responded to further queries from the shareholders as follows:-
(a) Foreign currency effect on the Company’s business - 85% of the Company’s revenue was denominated in USD. Generally, if the USD strengthens, BAB net profit would strengthen.
