Period 1Q12
Actual vs. Expectations
1Q12 results above expectations due to margin improvement
across the division and contribution of its new income stream ie: oil and gas.
1Q12 net profit of RM68.4m made up 38% and 55% of our full
year FY12 and consensus’ forecasts, respectively.
Dividends No dividend declared during the quarter.
Key Result Highlights
QoQ net profit improved significantly from RM8.7m to RM68.4m
on the back of 20% drop in revenue. This is mainly due the negative impact to
its P&L when Puncak adopted IC12 in FY11. However, the margin in 1Q12 has
improved throughout all divisions coupled with progressing earning recognition
for its construction contract ie: rural water supply project.
YoY revenue grew by 36% backed by 32% increase in water
distribution division due to increase in water tariff and short of oil and gas contribution
in 1Q11. The KGL and GOM acquisition was fully completed in 2H11. The net profit
has also improved significantly from loss of RM8.1m in 1Q11.
We expect the achievement in 1Q12 results is sustainable
throughout FY12.
Outlook The Oil and Gas division remained as the key
rerating catalyst for Puncak which could surprise on the upside in terms of the
size of order book replenishment in FY12 ie: >RM550m.
We expect more meaningful negotiation between SSG and Puncak
on water assets consolidation post-election.
Change to Forecasts
We tweaked our FY12E and FY13E net profit higher by 29% and
25%, respectively. We fine tuned our assumption on oil and gas order book assumption
higher from RM300m to RM550m for the next 2 years.
