Sapura Kencana Petroleum - New EPCC Win For Kencana HL


News   SKPETRO announced that its subsidiary, Kencana HL had been awarded Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) works for the Patricia Satellite (PT-SA) Topside and Serendah Accommodation (SN-AA) Topside located offshore Bintulu, Sarawak.

Both contracts are estimated to be worth between RM250-300m and are expected to be completed and delivered to Murphy Sarawak by 1HCY13.  

Comments  We are neutral on the win as the contract sum is marginal versus Kencana’s current EPCIC order book of RM2.4b as at May 2012.

We  have  already  factored  in  further  EPC  wins  of RM2.0b for FY14.

Outlook  We are positive on the merged entity for its 1) scale and 2) existing global track record, which will enhance its competitive edge during new contract bids.

Forecast  Maintaining our FY13-14 net profit estimates of RM469.1m and RM719.2m. 

Rating  MAINTAIN OUTPERFORM

Valuation   Our fair value remains unchanged at RM2.79/share at  this  juncture  (based  on  20.0x  PER,  a  close approximate to the average of the trading PERs of Bumi Armada and MMHE, which are around 19.0x and 22.6x respectively). 

Risks  1) High capex plans for  the company could strain the balance sheet and growth prospects, 2) high competition as there is a multitude of players who are highly diversified and 3) In the event of a downturn in the global economy and the demand for crude oil and gas, demand for its services will be jeopardised.
