KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 28): Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd’s net profit for its second quarter ended June 30 soared 129.8% to RM12.35 million or 1.99 sen a share, while revenue jumped 176.7% to RM159.71 million.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia today, the group said the increase in turnover was mainly due to the completion of topside installation work, the start of new transportation and installation contracts. and other construction activities carried out during the current financial period ended June 30, 2014.
As at Aug 14, 2014, Barakah has an order book of approximately RM2.28 billion for secured contracts, over the next three to five years, it said.
It said the group’s prospects for FY14 will remain positive, given the commencement of the long-term Pan-Malaysia transportation and installation contract during the current period, as well as the on-going onshore engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning projects which will last at least until 2018.
Kenanga Report: -------------------- Things will pick up in 2H14 on the back of higher installation and construction activities.
The secured orderbook stands at RM2.24b which provides earnings visibility for next three years. We understand that BARAKAH has been actively involved in bidding for new projects with its current tender book of RM3.0b, comprising 70 oil and gas projects.
We believe that the commissioning segment is able to provide Barakah stable earnings as it has a "90% win rate" in the commissioning market every year with its excellent track record.
Besides that, Barakah is looking to secure T&I international work from the Gulf Region through its existing joint-venture partner in Saudi Arabia, which is expected to be awarded in September 2014.
Additional growth for the T&I segment will hinge on BARAKAH’s future asset expansion. We understand that the company might expand the asset base in line with the expansion in contracts awarded.
Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd’s subsidiary, PBJV Group Sdn Bhd, secured a RM260 million contract from Petronas Gas Bhd for the procurement, construction and commissioning of PENGERANG Pipeline. “Work for the contract is expected to commence immediately and is scheduled to be completed by the second quarter of 2016,” said the company.
Change to Forecasts Due to change of financial year end (from FYE September to FYE December), we have adjusted our FY14E and 15E forecasts to RM111.5m and RM130.8m.
Rating Maintain OUTPERFORM.
Valuation We maintain our target price of "RM1.98", which is based on an implied target PER of 13x on CY15 EPS of 15.2 sen.
We believe our valuation for BARAKAH is still reasonable as we are valuing it at a 13.3% discount to the 15.0x PER ascribed to industry peers such as ALAM (OP; TP: RM2.07) given its smaller asset base (it currently owns only one pipelay support vessel).
Buy Buy Buy .... collect before Saudi billion project in coming weeks (september) ... up side +25% (down side 0%)
Maybank IB: 9MFY14 core net profit made up 47%/43% of ours/consensus’ 15MFY14 forecasts – in line.
Crystalisation of tender pipeline - RSC, Saudi Arabia T&I & Pengerang works will catalyse earnings and sentiment.
Maintain BUY and MYR1.90 TP, pegged to 14x FD FY15 PER. What’s New
3Q14 core net profit of MYR12m (+130% YoY; +12% QoQ) took 9M core earnings to MYR34m (+11% YoY). The QoQ growth was driven by stronger revenue contribution from its installation & construction operations (+12%). The key driver was the completion and delivery of the KPOC topside installation works in June’14.
This helped to offset weaker revenue from the pipeline & commissioning services (-30%) due to minimal works recognised for the Pan Malaysia T&I Package A works (MYR40m; started in June’14). As such, its KL 101 pipelay barge was relatively immobilised YTD (opex: MYR1.1m/mth). What’s Our View
Our forecasts are unchanged. We expect earnings to improve over the next 6 months: (i) as contributions from Pan Malaysia Package A T&I work kick-in earnestly and (ii) interest savings (MYR6m p.a.) from the successful refinancing of its loans in July. Operationally, Barakah is scheduled to complete 3 T&I works this FY (value: ~MYR360m) for PCSB’s Dulang (platform-cable laying), Dalak (pipeline) and Labuan-Sipitan (shore approach) fields. For this, KL 101 will be operating at optimal level in Jul-Dec’14.
Order backlog stood at MYR2.3b (-5% QoQ) as at Aug 2014. Tender pipeline remains strong. It recently secured additional works for the Pengerang pipeline, which doubled the project value to MYR280m. Barakah is also in the running for several Pengerang related works (tie-in, piping; e.MYR300m; to be known in 1Q15).
Wow!! inching up to $1.51-$1.52 nicely. Thanks for the tips ! Something is brewing I believe someone collecting before more good news announcement :) Share price Going up on the 'red sea' day ... very Bullish !!!
White Candlestick bar indicate upside, strong support at $1.50 .. bullish sign .. waiting to burst next Tuesday when investors and fund managers back after long holidays... Collect now !!! many Q to buy ...hmmmm :)

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 3): Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd has bagged a hook-up, commissioning and topside major maintenance (HUC) services contract worth RM30 million from Lundin Malaysia BV, according to a Barakah official.

Barakah also having same type of projects with 3 other companies? namely 1. Petrofac 2. Newfieldou 3. Talisman 4. Lundin (latest) 5. (more projects to come including Saudi Ti Projects ... )
Thanks NickFury for the info. I remember reading somewhere a brokerage house is asking to purchase LA instead of Mother share. As long as I have LA, I can redeem the mother by adding 20 cents, not?
1. there is risk of conversion, but the risk is not big. maybe less than 5% risk. 2. directors hold more than 40% of RCULS. if they redeem, they will also face huge losses. They lose 0.2-1.38 = RM1.18 against 25% dillution to motherh around RM 0.35. which do not make sense. 3. most research house fair value already included the dillution of the RCULS.
Just need to look at 1 person......NIK HAMDAN BIN DAUD 57.6% shareholder, who owns more than 40% of RCULS. do you think he will allow RCULS to lose money?
