Not all oil & gas RTO are equal, we know of the huge surge in Barakah, and the moderate gains in PDZ. Barakah had a fantastic run because of the people behind the company coming in and the new projects which they won. PDZ was slower because the buyer was not as "strongly connected" and the fact that there is still a huge number of outstanding shares of PDZ out in the open.PDZ new owner bought a controlling stake but has yet to announce any asset injection, hence the flattish performance.
So where does the Ideal Jacobs RTO rate?
HEADS OF AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED REVERSE TAKE-OVER OF IJACOBS BY CEKAP TECHNICAL SERVICES SDN BHD (“CTSSB”) AND MECIP GLOBAL ENGINEERS SDN BHD (“MECIP”)
The proposal is to acquire Cekap Technical Services and Mecip Global Engineers via an issuance of new Ideal Jacobs shares @ 25 sen. Fair enough. For this deal, we already know which company/asset will be injected, hence easier to survey their prospects.
The vendors of CTSSB are Md Nazir Bin Md Kassim and Sofiyan Bin Yahya. The vendors of MECIP are Ahmad Nazari Bin Ashari, Mohd Nor Bin Abd Basar, AliShastry @ Haslan Bin Husain.
What is positive is also a management buyout of the existing operations of Ideal Jacobs by its current owners (Andrew Jacobs and Ben Meng), which is to say Ideal Jacobs will be a "clean company", and if you examine their balance sheet, its pretty clean already. This allows for the RTO asset to be valued accordingly without any baggage or legacy issues.
Cekap Technical Services Sdn Bhd Formed in 1994, Cekap Technical Services Sdn Bhd has established a niche as a provider of integrated technical services especially in project management and integrated project services including project management, project support, safety consultancy, environment consultancy, G&G services, ICT and integrated operations. The company has an excellent safety record of zero LTI since it began operations. Currently the company has more than 400 staff across its operations. The company has successfully served all the oil & gas operators and major players in Malaysia and has established a track record in the region, including Brunei and Philippines. The company has also expanded into the Middle East, especially UAE and Iraq, and Far East in Korea and Japan. The company has offices in Kuala Lumpur, Kerteh, Pasir Gudang, Dubai and Brunei.
So how much more can we assess the RTO if we do not know the valuation of the two companies? Thats a fair question since its only a Heads of Agreement but we can easily spot the key driver of the deal in one of the vendor, Sofiyan bin Yahya. He is a BSD in oil & gas if you are in Malaysia's oil & gas industry.
Sofiyan Yahya President (April 2008 – April 2014), Malaysian Oil & Gas Services Council The Malaysian Oil & Gas Services Council or MOGSC is the most proactive non-profit organisation or NGO representing the interests of the service providers in the Malaysian oil & gas industry. Key missions are to promote Malaysia as the regional hub for oil & gas services, and showcase the capabilities of the Malaysian oil & gas services sector. MOGSC collaborates with all the industry stakeholders. MOGSC has working groups and task force committees addressing various industry interests and issues, and regional chapters to promote local players in the specific active regions.
Back to Cekap, it is licensed by Petronas (L-295213-P). Some of the key projects they have completed: - Malampaya debottlenecking project (Philippines) - Petronas' Integrated Operations Collaboration Center - Central Luconia rejuvenation project (Sarawak)
Barring any nasty surprises in terms of valuation, the prospects for this RTO is pretty good. You are only as good as the driver behind the vehicle, in particular when you are talking about doing well in the oil & gas industry in Malaysia. Hence this deal is closer to Barakah in terms of attractiveness than say PDZ.
