Naim Holdings - OUTPERFORM - 28 May 2012


Period   1Q12/3M12

Actual vs.  Expectations
The 1Q12 core net profit of RM16.1m came in within ours and the street’s estimates, making up 22% and 21% of our FY12E core net profit and that of the consensus respectively.

Naim also recorded an exceptional loss of RM3.0m due to fair value changes in the available-for-sale financial assets of an associate and also forex losses.

Dividends  Single tier dividend of RM0.03.

Key Results Highlights
YoY, the 1Q revenue declined by 22% as a result of slower recognition from its construction projects i.e. Complex Islam and Fiji National Highway.

QoQ, the core profit improved by 204%, mainly due to better property sales, which improved by 27%, and an improved margin of 16% in its construction division due to completion of works on higher margin projects. Its 33.6% subsidiary, Dayang, recorded a strong set of results with a net profit of RM16.0m. This represented about 38% of Naim’s core net profit of RM16.1m.

Outlook  The current order book stands at c.RM800m, which provides a 2-year earnings visibility for the group. 

Moving forward, Naim is looking to kick start its new mix property development projects at Bintulu Old Airport, Kuching and Miri respectively. The total GDV for these projects is expected to be more than RM800m.  

Naim is a strong contender for the KVMRT project as the group had been shortlisted for station and depot works under the Bumiputera category.

Change to Forecasts
