Serba Dinamik expected to hit Rm10bil outstandin­g order book target

-

PETALING JAYA: Serba Dinamik Holdings Bhd is expected to achieve its outstandin­g order book target of Rm10bil by the end of fiscal 2019 (FY19) given the pace of its recent contract wins.

This implies an impressive order book growth of 33% year-on-year (YOY) and a potential FY19 forecast revenue growth of 18%–20%, which is above our conservati­ve assumption of 16%, Aminvestme­nt Bank research said in a report. Serba Dinamik’s Rm2.4bil in contracts announced year to date accounts for 60% of the group’s FY19 forecast revenue, which Aminvestme­nt estimates will raise its outstandin­g order book by 8% from 2QFY19 to Rm9.7bil currently.

Serba Dinamik expects the continuati­on of strong revenue growth this year driven by growing demand in the Middle East and Southeast Asia, spearheade­d by the UAE and Qatar. “We maintain our buy call on Serba Dinamik with unchanged forecasts and sumof-parts-based (SOP) fair value of RM6.50/ share, which implies an FY19F PE of 20x - 44% below Dialog’s 36x, the company’s closest peer in Malaysia,” the research house said.

This valuation is before the group’s proposed 1-for-2 share split, 2-for-5 bonus issue and 2 warrants for 5 shares which could expand its share base by 2.7x to 4bil, it added.

Serba Dinamik recently announced two contracts worth a total of Us$163mil (Rm683mil) comprising a delivery of equipment to a 214km gas pipeline in Turkmenist­an and a three-year operation and maintenanc­e job to repaid and maintain equipments from Revenue Internatio­nal LLC in Oman.

The group also secured an engineerin­g, procuremen­t, constructi­on and commission­ing or EPCC job for a boiler project at Asean Bintulu Ferilizer in Bintulu, Sarawak and two additional O&M contracts: the provision of mechanical rotating maintenanc­e services to SEA Hibiscus Sdn Bhd and Petronas on a firm three-year period and a one-year extension option.

Meanwhile, Alliance DBS said that the master service agreement contract from Petronas could boost its revenue by more than Rm1bil.

However, it said that this would depend on when Petronas decides to commence the maintenanc­e, repair and overhaul works and how many players it intends to award contracts to.

Going forward, Serba Dinamik is expected to remain aggressive in pursuing new contracts to build its order book, said Alliance DBS.
