I voted against the rights issue. I felt it makes no sense to dilute the shares that are performing so terribly. But good to know it is not being actively planned.
Two items mentioned during the AGM caught my attention: 1) Armada Sterling V will finally go into production in Q4 of 2022; and 2) the usage of a Combine Cycle Gas Turbine (not sure where).
this Q eps at 3.14, and with good strong orderbook, and assuming 3.14 x 4 = 12.56, thats puts p/e with current price of 44c at 3,5x, even if the earnings was discounted 20% to then p/e is 4.4x .... isnt that too low for energy company? cud it be because no div therefore shunned by institiunal investors?
The earning will getting higher in next Q result, why? merely due to strengthen USD as all it profit is USD denominated, use its operating cash flow in USD to trim USD debt every quarter, trim down interest expense, boosts up profit in RM, increasing EPS staggering up on every Q forward
Maybank RM0.58 (no change) CGS-CIMB RM0.45 (from RM0.55) Macquarie RM0.48 (no change) Citibank RM0.68 (from RM0.65) Kenanga RM0.63 (no change) KAF RM0.60 (no change) JF Apex RM0.53 (no change) Hong Leong RM0.84 (no change)
Curious to know why CGS-CIMB has downgraded the stock rather heavily.
1. Subsea Construction (“SC”) vessels at work in the Caspian Sea (Russian client, Lukoil), contract value is approximately USD50.0 million. Offshore construction work is expected to be completed in 2022. These is goods news against rumour Russian risk default due to invasion
2. Mumbai Port FSRU project is being progressed and we will make an announcement on further details of the project once these are available. Likely will be mid june
3. Armada Claire to be sold or scrapped in 2022. Significant writeback provision will record once it materialize as these vessel already fully devalue/fully depreciated last year 2021. Therefore, any value created either through outright sell or scrap for few million USD, will boost armanda cash hoard, allowing it to further trim USD debt, cut interest expense, up profit attributed to shareholder. In additional, any final outcome from legal course over armanda claire claim against client will bring extra bonus cash as interim court show Armanda entitle few million claim already
4. Since almost all non performing OSV already disposed off (only 3 OSV remaining which already fully integrated for own operation). Thus, for now onwards, Operations segment results mainly boost through continue trim down debt, reduce interest expense, boots up net profit + bonus through strengthen USD currency + commencement of new 98/02 FPSO end of 2022 + upcoming new contract from India revenue and lower operating costs in Q1 2022.
CIMB downgraded it's TP as they said right issue may be imminent...the premise they used is Yinson's price declined as much as 26% since it called for right issue in 2021
So the actual SOP has increased from RM0.61 to RM0.65, but they have imposed a 30% discount premised on an imminent rights issue. I may not necessarily agree with this, as Bumi Armada is generating cash hard and fast, and might yet be able to fund the equity portion of one large project using internally generated funds, especially if they can sell off Armada Claire, as well as since Tranche 1 of their term loans has been almost fully repaid as of March 2022. Also, as shared during the AGM, Bumi Armada will be partnering with co-venturers for all large scale FPSO projects, so we can assume a 50-50 split in equity commitment, further lowering the likelihood of a rights issue (which CIMB seems to not have mentioned about).
Why does the analyst think the Revenue will continuously decline for the next three years? And, that the PE will remain well below 4.0 throughout the period? The analysis is generally positive; but no so the financial summary.
Based on current orderbook, revenue is expected to continue falling. Armada TGT lease revenue is recognised on a decreasing basis. I know Armada Olombendo and Armada Mediterenia revenue is recognized in a straight line basis. I'm unsure if Armada Kraken revenue recognition is decreasing or straight line. Armada TGT lease expires in 2024, Armada Kraken firm charter period expires in 2025.
OSVs have been practically sold (only 3 left, from 40+ just a few years ago), so revenue contribution from them will continue falling too.
Bumi Armada has two projects in hand, Armada Sterling V (for 98/2 project) and Mumbai Port FSRU. For both projects, the revenue will NOT be recognised by Bumi Armada, as they are accounted for as associate and JV respectively.
As such, given how things stand, revenue has pretty much flatlined, and will likely be falling in the coming years. But curiously, the net profit will continue inching up due to lower finance cost (as loans are pared down), lower depreciation charges and higher profit contribution from associates/JVs as the two new India projects come on stream.
Armada have order book of Rm13Billion, its will keep them busy for next 5-6 years without extension order in pipe line and future order. Indeed company continue to paredown his debt, company might propose dividend in coming year.
Quite inexplicable the share price movement. It's as if there is no positive, and in fact many negatives, priced into the share price.
Then again, if the share price continues to hover at around RM0.40-RM0.42 I might increase my position.
Balance sheet risks are no longer a concern, and the company is now all set to grow. Discounting all that, just looking at what Bumi Armada is already doing, and we're still rather undervalued. Add to the fact that Armada TGT will be renewed, as will Armada Kraken, I am just lost for words.
Depress price due to weak sector result from some bad apples in the industry. Most are caution but given time with consistent growth while actively paring down their debt, surely BA will shine then. Probably another few qtrs from now.....my 2cents nia.
Oil prices have been edging higher this week as improving demand signals highlight the lack of supply options in oil markets if there is a drastic contraction in Russian production, a likely outcome if the European Union bans Russian oil. With both US crude and gasoline inventories continuing their decline, whilst recent altercations between the United States and Iran have rendered any JCPOA breakthrough largely impossible, analysts are anticipating another surge towards the $130-140 per barrel range this summer.
