6 November 2013 ? Baker Technology Limited
(?Baker Tech? or ?the Group?), a leading manufacturer and provider of specialised marine offshore equipment and services for the oil and gas industry, has reported revenue of S$20.7 million and net profit of S$3.6 million for the three months ended
30 September 2013 (3Q2013). For the nine months ended 30 September 2013 (9M2013), the Group?s revenue was S$67.9 million, and net profit was S$18.
2 million. Net profit decreased compared to the corresponding period in FY2012, due to lower gains on disposals in FY2013.


 
3Q2013 Performance
Group revenue for the quarter was S$20.7 million, a decrease of 5% compared to 3Q2012, and gross profit decreased 18% from S$8.1 million in 3Q2012 to S$6.7 million in 3Q2013. The decrease in gross profit was mainly due to lower margins resulting from a different product mix, and revenue was affected by a general slowdown in order intake which lasted through to the middle of 2013. However, the Group has seen a recovery in its order book due to an improvement in order intake during this quarter. As at end September 2013, the net order book stood at US$55 million, compared to US$33 million as at end June 2013.

9M2013 Performance


Group revenue decreased by 17% compared to the corresponding period in FY2012, due to lower recognition of project completion during 9M2013. Administrative expenses were 12% lower at S$5.6 million.

 
Other operating income reduced from S$69.2 million to S$9.6 million, contributing to a net profit of S$18.2 million for 9M2013, compared to S$80.6 million in 9M2012. This is mainly due to lower gains from the disposals of subsidiary / associates in FY2013. The Group recognised a gain of S$8.8 million from the disposal of its stake in Discovery Offshore S.A. in 2Q2013, as compared to gains of S$69.1 million recognised in 9M2012 for the disposal of stakes in PPL Holdings Pte Ltd as well as York Transport Equipment (Asia) Pte Ltd. Group shareholders? funds were S$235.7 million as at 30 September 2013, a reduction from S$268.1 million


as at 31 December 2012 but slightly higher than S$232.0 million as at 30 June 2013. The reduction was primarily due to the payment of S$87.2 million in dividends to shareholders, but was partially offset by proceeds from conversion of warrants, and retained profits for the period. Cash and cash equivalents remained strong at S$203.7 million as at 30 September 2013.

 
Outlook
The Group foresees its operating environment to remain competitive and challenging for the next 12 months. However, the Group maintains its optimism on the long
term fundamentals of the oil and gas industry. The Group?s net order book had increased to US$55 million as at 30 September 2013, and these orders are expected to be completed within the next 12 to 18 months. The Group is also continuing to explore external opportunities to provide additional avenues for growth.

Baker Technology ST: the RSI is overbought

Technical BUY with +10.3% potential return

Last price: S$0.290

Resistance: S$0.37

Support: S$0.25

BUY with a target price of S$0.32 with tight stops placed below S$0.27. The stock looks poised to continue its rebound as prices have closed above its 200-day EMA and it is also trading near a potential golden cross formation (50- and 200-day EMAs). Its positive  directional index has turned up and may continue to rise correspondingly with its ADX, with its Stochastics indicator looking poised to form a bullish hook-up.Firstly, watch to see if the stock could trade above S$0.30.

Baker Technology on Friday said its net profit for the second quarter ended June 30 fell 82% year on year to $11.32 million, with a lower gain on disposal.

During the quarter, the marine offshore equipment and services company recognised a gain of $8.86 million from the sale of an associate, compared to a $58.24 million gain on disposal a year ago. Revenue fell 12% year on year to $22.14 million, due to the general slowdown in order intake. (BT)

...last done: $0.270...

Just to clarify further, as I realize forum members may have misunderstood how I get 0.36. Looking at the most recent financial results of Baker, I projected a net income of $0.0144/yr. This is what I base on to get DCF value or intrinsic value of $0.36, by simply dividing 0.0144 by 0.04 (since I assumed steady net income and no growth). $0.36 is definitely not net asset value!!

Lastly, please treat what I have shared this weekend as just an example. I really have no idea what Baker Tech's business model is like and whether it would be more or less profitable. Do your own due diligence. Thanks.. =)

You should not be so mean.. Everyone is here for knowledge and also to share and learn. I dunno If Bro WanSiTong is wrong in his postings because I never follow for SPH, but even if he is, forum members can point out so we can all learn and benefit at the same time. What is wrong can also be subjective and that's why all can have a good discussion, hear alternative views backed with facts and knowledge, and then everyone can make the best decision for himself/herself. Even professional financial analysts can be wrong because they may be backed by their own confirmation bias.. =)

Those who had done their home work like Bro SFGuyRuleZ & follow the rule of " Buy on dip & sell on news" plus not too greedy would have already enjoyed their Lemon Pie (instead of the short form LP, Lol)

News on the disposal of its subsidiary (PPL Holdings Pte Ltd) had announced long ago before Jan 2013. Share price before Jan 2013 was about $0.32. The share price went up to the recent high of $0.485 on 25/2/13 when he Co officially declared the 10c dividend . Those who had bought the shares earlier on and sold it when the news came out  made 16.5c profit.

In a way if ppl buy now at $0.265 and just from the intrinsic value of $0.36 itself, they already have a gain  of $0.095 if they keep it for long term, based on the fact if $0.0144 net income/ share is earned annually (assuming no inflation). The idea of DCF is about time value of money, meaning if for example you invest 100 years in Baker Tech, in 100 years time (year 2113) you ought to have gotten $1.44. But from the discount factor and yield of 0.04 I used, it means the $1.44 in year 2113 is equivalent to $0.36 now. Moreover if one buys now, there is also a capital gain of $0.295 (0.56 -0.265) if market realize this value in the long term. And looking at $0.265 now and assuming $0.0144 net income/share being earned annually is still true, the share price of Baker Tech should still appreciate by $0.0144 anually.

Whether value of 0.36 and 0.56 will be achieved or not, it shall be determined by the market. What I assume above is if as a retail and passive investor, we can still get hold of all the net income per share, but which in reality, is not that ideal. Therefore, if management can no longer produce growth in profits, they should start to give out more dividends. In fact, Baker Tech recently gave out 10 cents dividends. It is Market itself which decided that the share price should drop more than 10 cents, not the fault of the management and company. So yeap, just think about it.. =)

Just thought of adding on since I have already said so much. Just to share some investment knowledge. Using Baker Tech as an example, assuming the earnings are really stable with no growth (positive or negative), it's intrinsic value is 0.36 with 4% yield. A misconception is that when you pay 0.36 for Baker in this example, you would have no gain, which is incorrect. In the long term if you keep Baker Tech for many years, Baker's share price should appreciate by the annual net income/ share accordingly. When you finally sell Baker's shares in the future, the money value you get would still have a 4% compounded yield. Assuming Singapore's inflation is 3% annually, in the future when you sell off Baker, you would still have a 1% gain of value relatively.

But since we are normal retail and passive investors, we should perhaps look more at the dividend payouts and subject it to the same discount factor or yield. I looked at Baker Tech's dividends paid out for the past 3 years and realize that the average dividends handed out is about $0.0175/ year (not including the special dividend). Subjecting it to the same required yield of 0.04 and assuming that 0.0175 is paid out as dividends every year, it would have an intrinsic value of $0.4375.

Now I am not promoting Baker Tech as I mentioned before I do not know much about the business or news update of Baker. I am also not vested in Baker. Just thought it was really a good example to share about discounted cash flow valuation and intrinsic value, as well as some investment 101. =)

dividend is suppose to reward those people who invest long term, not those ppl who buy the stock at last min and to get the dividend.. those that vest long term wouldnt encounter this no gain situation.. for eg, assume i buy it at 26.5 and assume it stagnates.. then during this 1 year period, say the company earn extraordinary big profits via disposal of assets.. then there will be people & insiders who expect dividend to be given out, hence we see buyers & it push price up.. even assuming people doesnt expect news of dividend and we see price continue stagnate, then news suddenly come out & company really give out dividend, say 10cents.. so share price will likely become more than 36.5.. so we can see last min buyer who bought at 36.5 will die, cos after XD, it will likely fall 10cent back, since dividend is 10cent, and they get no net gain.. however, those who invest long term & had got in early even before any news, will not get affected by the XD.. they will still earn net 10cents even after XD when the share price is back to 26.5..

Some fundamentals for Baker Tech:

Acid-test Ratio: 11.36 (Super Good)

Current Ratio: 12.3 (Super Good)

Debt-to-equity ratio: 0.08 (Incredibly good!!)

Net Debt to Income Ratio, based on current earnings: is negative, not need to even calculate!!

Net Cash (Cash and cash equivalents - total debt): $172.3 million

Valuing it as already a stable company with no more room for growth in profits, and based on it's solid fundamentals, it can be treated as risk-free, giving it a conservative discount factor of 0.04,

Intrinsic Value / share = 0.36

Net Cash/ Share = 0.2

Fair value / share = 0.56.


This company's fundamentals is really very solid. In fact, it got too much cash and if no more room for growth in profits, management should consider giving out more dividends. It would be good to invest if one looks for dividends. How good would have to depend on the dividend yield. I am really " wowed" by the fundamentals, but not vested as I looking for capital-gain companies also.. Smiley

What I have stated about intrinsic value of 0.36 is assuming that the current profitable net income now can remain steady in the long run to come. I do not know much about the business of Baker Tech nor did I follow up any news on it. Whether it can remains profitable, more profitable or less profitable, growth potential /loss potential, etc..., think you all will have more information and knowledge than me and thus in a better position to determine the value, price and potential of Baker Tech.. =)

Do not be overly excited abt its current price(0.265) vs its NAV(0.36).I saw many stocks trading below its NAV and some as big  as 65% difference.Once it is trading lower it will trend lower unless the company has a good business model or a have niche over its peers.Unfortunately not for this counter.Similar counters  such as  Jaya,Swissco,Marco Polo,Ausgroup providing support to oil exploration industries were all reporting lower profit quarter after quarter.

With exception of oil exploration companies like Kris,Rex, Ramba or Interra Resources are still holding well and trading way above its NAV even though some are still losing money.Investors are attracted to its business potential  hence willing to pay a premium.At the end of the day the market decides.
