ARMADA (FV RM4.37- NEUTRAL) Corporate News Flash: Bags a Mexican Job


THE BUZZ
Yesterday, Bumi Armada announced that its subsidiary, Bumi Armada Navigation SB has been awarded a contract for the provision of  one DP2 accommodation workboat from TecnologĂ­as Relacionadas con EnergĂ­a y Servicios Especializados, S.A. de C.V, a Mexican O&G services company with interests in drilling, vessel chartering and accommodation services in Mexico. This workboat will be providing both accommodation and offshore support services in the Mexican territorial waters. The value of the contract is about USD65m for a period of 5 years, with the option to extend for another 5 years.

OUR TAKE
Contract will be  serviced by Armada Firman 3. The Armada Firman 3 is a 75m long vessel equipped with DP2 technology. The vessel also has 600 sqm of deck space and a 40-tonne single wire line deck crane for maintenance and installation activities.

Positive news but no change to our FY12-FY13 earnings. This is because the contract value is  relatively  immaterial if we were to  distribute it  evenly across 5 years (USD13m/year or RM40m/year). This amount only contributes to about 1-2% of its total revenue p.a. In contrast, the bread and butter of the company still lies with its FPSO division, which contribute more than 50% to its total revenue.

Maintain Neutral. Our fair value for Bumi Armada remains unchanged at RM4.37 based on sum-of-the-parts valuation. We like the company for its ability to provide one-stop solutions, starting from the O&G exploration stage to the decommissioning phase.
