BH Global Marine remains profitable in 2QFY2009 amidst market uncertainty
Net profit stands at S$4.0 million at a healthy margin of 15%.Jul 16, 2009
AsiaOne
SINGAPORE - BH Global Marine Limited, a supply chain management company specialising in premium lightings, cables and electrical equipment for the marine and oil & gas industries registered a net profit attributable to shareholders of S$4.0 million.
| » View latest results |
For the second quarter ended 30 June 2009 ('2QFY09'), revenue has slipped by 4% to S$26.1 million, mainly due to the drop in average selling price of marine cables and accessories as a result of lower copper price (main component of cables) and a stronger USD.
Marine cables and accessories accounted for 62% of total revenue, and registered a 24% decline as compared to 2QFY2008.
The decrease was in spite of higher sales volume generated, as the Group stepped up its marketing effort to gain more market share. In contrast, revenue from marine lighting equipment and accessories increased by a steady 13% due to additional projects secured.
In terms of profitability, gross profit dropped by 9% from S$10.3 million in 2QFY08 to S$9.3 million in 2QFY09 which was in line with the lower revenue as well as the lower gross margin fetched by the new marine switchboards and services segment. In addition, the margin was impacted by the utilisation of inventory previously purchased at higher cost, due to the sharp hike in copper prices in 2008.
Despite all the above factors, the gross margin remained healthy at 36%. Net profit attributable to shareholders decreased by 30% to S$4.0 million, representing a net margin of 15%.
As compared to the immediate past quarter ('1QFY2009'), the top line and bottom line performance has improved respectively.
To ride the economic downturn, BH Global strives to maintain a healthy balance sheet with low level of gearing. As at 30 June 2009, the net asset value per share stands at $0.16, which is on par with the financial position at the beginning of FY2009, while net operating cash flows remain positive. As part of the Group's continuous effort in improving stock management, inventory turnover days improved from 254 days in FY2008 to 235 days as at 30 June 2009.
The Group currently has unutilised trade facilities of S$20 million, which will enable the BH Global to weather the current economic crisis.
Going forward In the marine and offshore industry, market observers have raised concerns over the uncertainties and low visibility within the near short term, yet the long term prospects are expected to remain intact on the back of strong global oil demand and accelerating depletion of the reserves. As long as the levels of marine and offshore activities remain sustainable in the region, this would translate into continuous demand for the Group's wide range of products.
'As we step into the second half of FY2009, we are determined to focus on what we do best ' continue to enhance our core strengths and strategic positioning in marine electrical solutions, while at the same time cut down unnecessary costs to achieve margin expansion. This, we believe, should be the basic strategy for the Group to maximise our resources and efficiency to the best interest of our shareholders,' said Mr Vincent Lim, Chief Executive Officer of BH Global.
The Group continues to adopt a conservative approach in managing its supply chain business in view of the weak economic climate across the regions.
BH Global had a reasonably strong Q4 & offers 1.2 ct dividend just like last year.
Iits outlook statement: "In the light of the global financial and economic turmoil, the shipping industry has experienced
slowdown in the orders for new vessels in the region over the recent months. However, as the
number of vessels in the maritime industry has significantly increased over the past few years,
the demand in ship repair and conversion projects is expected to cushion the drop in new
orders."
Management seems confident, and is willing to take questions in online forum http://www.nextinsight.com.sg/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,67/func,showcat/catid,5/
