CB Industrial Holding - Secures RM44.7mil contract HOLD


- CB Industrial Product Holding Bhd (CBIP) has received a RM44.7mil contract to design and build a 30 tonne/hour-Modipalm palm oil mill. 

- The contract also allows for an upgrade in the capacity of the mill by another 15 tonnes/hour during a two-year period.

- The contract was awarded by Kumpulan Perladangan PKINK Bhd. PKINK is the abbreviation for Perbadanan Kemajuan Iktisad Negeri Kelantan. 

- According to the website, PKINK is a corporate body responsible for leading the development and growth of the state of Kelantan according to principles of Islam.

- PKINK is involved in plantation, construction and property activities, among others. 

- We view the award positively as it would support CBIP’s profitability by increasing its construction order book. 

- Recall that there is risk that CBIP’s net profit would fall in FY12F due to the disposal of the plantation assets. 

- In our earnings forecast, we have assumed that the disposal of the plantation assets would be completed by mid-FY12F.

- Plantation division (excluding associates and joint venture) accounted for 39% of CBIP’s pre-tax profit in FY11.   

- As at end-September 2011, CBIP’s construction division had RM817mil worth of contracts (excluding boiler contracts) and unbilled sales of RM326mil.  

- We maintain a HOLD on CBIP as valuations would become less attractive upon the disposal of the plantation subsidiaries.
