Boilermech Holdings Bhd - Higher EBIT Margin of 16.7% in 1HFY13


Boilermech’s 1HFY13  earnings  of  RM10.7m  was  largely  in  line  with  our  forecasts,  accounting  for  about  48.3%  of  our full-year  estimates. 2QFY13  earnings  were  higher  y-o-y  on  improved  margin.  We  like  Boilermech  for  its  solid  balance sheet  and  the  potential  boost  from  its upcoming  expansion.  It  is  also  set  to  benefit  from  the  growth  in  the  palm plantation  sector.  We  are  maintaining  our  Neutral  call  on Boilermech with a fair value of RM0.98, pegged at a 5-year average PE of 11.5x on its projected FY13 earnings.  

Improved performance on higher-margin projects. 1HFY13 net earnings took a 48% leap to RM10.7m, on the back of a 22% jump in revenue to  RM87.3m.  The  better  performance  was  due  to  higher  contribution  from  its  boiler  manufacturing.  Its  manufacturing  segment  saw  a  22% increase  in  revenue  contribution  to  RM84.4m  while  its  PBT  contribution  surged  by  44.6%  to  RM13.1m.  1HFY13 EBIT  margin  improved  from 13.3% last year to 16.7%, mainly due to contribution from higher-margin projects in the oil and gas sector. 2QFY13 earnings were relatively flat at  RM5.2m compared to 1QFY13’s RM5.4m, despite a 7.5% increase  in  revenue  to  RM45.2m.  The  lower  bottom-line  was  due  to  higher operating expenses during the quarter under review as well as the impact from the reversal of foreign exchange gain. 
Expansion on schedule. Boilermech has completed the acquisition of a 1.45 acres land near its Subang Jaya premises in November 2012. With the  acquisition  complete,  the  company  would  now  be  doubling  its  production  floor  spare  to  140,900  sq  ft  and thus  increasing  its  boiler production capacity from five boilers per month to about eight to 10 boilers by April 2013.

RM0.98 FV. With its quarterly performance largely in line with our estimates, we are leaving our forecasts unchanged. We are maintaining our NEUTRAL  recommendation  on  Boilermech  with  a  FV  of  RM0.98,  pegged  at  an  average  PE  of  11.5x  on  its  projected  FY13  earnings. The company’s fundamental remains intact, backed by a strong balance sheet. We believe that with its production capacity set to double by April 2013, Boilermech is well positioned to benefit from the growth in the palm plantation sectors of both Malaysia and Indonesia.
