Seatrium - Toning Down Our Profit Expectations

Published:
Seatrium (SGX:S51) | SGinvestors.ioSeatrium (SGX:S51)
  • Post-completion of a strategic review of its operations, Seatrium announced on 30 Jan that it plans to write down surplus non-core assets and inventories. While it anticipates operational and financial performance to continue to improve, Seatrium expects FY23F net loss to be significantly higher than FY22. See earnings calendar.

We expect ~S$250m of write-downs in 2H23F

  • Recall that in 1H23, Seatrium provided S$231m for merger expenses and higher labour and contract costs for projects in its US yard. For 2H23F, we have now penned in S$250m for the potential closure of fully depreciated yards (such as Crescent, Benoi and Tuas), inventory and PPA impairment, as well as cost overrun provisions.

Toning down our expectation on margin

  • We now expect gross margins of 5.5%/10% for Seatrium in FY24F/25F (previously 8.0%/13%).
  • We understand that projects clinched post-merger, including Tennet HVDCs, as well as Petrobras projects awarded pre-merger (P78, P80, P82 and P83), were contracted on double-digit gross margins. However, contracts secured by Seatrium and Keppel Offshore and Marine pre-COVID may still face tail-end challenges, including higher labour and supply chain costs not previously factored in, resulting in gross losses.
