MMHE has returned to profitability for two consecutive quarters in 4Q23 and 1Q24 as there were limited cost provision relating to loss-making legacy projects (i.e., Kasawari CPP EPCIC and Jerun CPP EPCIC). Both Kasawari and Jerun topsides have left the yards for commissioning stage, marking the tail-end of the project completion. As such, significant cost overruns may not recur in FY24.
We are also sanguine that earnings will be supported by the execution of remaining orderbook which remains within initial budget and schedule. To recap, its orderbook stood at RM5.4bn as at end 1Q24 which is comprised of (i) Rosmari-Marjoram EPC contract, (ii) Kasawari CCS EPCIC Alliance, (iii) Andalas-Jengka EPCI contract, and (iv) TenneT’s Ijmuiden der Alpha Offshore Substation (OSS) EPC project. The orderbook rose further by RM1.5bn or 28% to RM6.9bn following the award of Nederwiek 1 OSS EPC project recently. This will provide earnings visibility for next 3 years.
Notably, this boosted the proportion of RE windfarm to RM3.7bn or 40% of total orderbook. The prospect of receiving recurring orders in RE segment will reduce its reliance on cyclical local O&G fabrication project. More importantly, the workscope for OSS projects are purely limited to fabrication works and that bodes well for MMHE’s capability as the largest offshore fabricator in Malaysia.
Maintain BUY on MMHE with TP of RM0.94 Maintain MMHE as a BUY with TP of RM0.94. Our TP is based on SOP method that implies 18x FY24F P/E and 1.1x FY24F P/B (refer table 1). We believe this is fair amidst stronger prospect for turnaround arising from large orderbook and successful venture into fabrication of modular RE structure.
