CSC TO INSTALL FOUNDATION PILES FOR
WORLD?S LARGEST RENEWABLE BIO-DIESEL PLANT
SINGAPORE, March 6, 2008 ? Finland?s Neste Oil OYJ is building the world?s largest
renewable bio-diesel plant in Tuas and has commissioned one of
CSC Holdings Limited?s(?CSC? or ?the Group?) wholly owned subsidiaries to construct the foundation for the facility.
When completed the bio-diesel plant is capable of converting renewable feedstock like palm
oil into some 800,000 tonnes of bio-diesel annually. The contract for the foundation work is
worth approximately S$33 million.
Work at the site will involve the installation of a large number of driven piles and some civil
engineering work and is scheduled to commence in early March and be completed by the
end of the year.
CSC is delighted and honoured to work with Neste Oil to construct the foundation for this
esteemed project and looks forward to securing more of such exciting contracts in the future.
This contract adds to CSC?s list of foundation contracts for projects in the energy related
industries and enhances the reputation and track record of the Group.
In addition to this contract win, the Group has also recently secured several other foundation
engineering, geotechnical investigation and instrumentation jobs worth approximately S$30
million collectively. These include works at the proposed Woodsville Interchange, the ITE
campus at Bukit Batok and public housing development at Sengkang.
With these recently secured contracts amounting to S$63 million, the Group?s order book
now stands at approximately S$435 million. Most of the projects are expected to be
completed within the next 12 months.
Hi Jackjames,
Great to have you on board CSC. =)
As for YN, I am not into it as I had reserves about it. But, just personal. So i will not comment.
My reason on CSC is what i stated in my blog + some gut judgement.
well said, but with such a confidence, u shall cash in at 0.235 last few weeks... can see u have somehow average down ur previous buy from 0.335 to 0.325 to 0.265.. hmm..
anyway, i am in the same boat with u, but at 0.24 , heeee.. you should consider yongnam too, as the price now is not moving up yet like CSC.... it used to be "higher price than CSC"...
CSC
? Leading foundation and geotechnical engineering specialist, CSC Holdings Limited, has seen a further boost to its portfolio by bagging the foundation works contract for phase two of the Marina Bay Financial Centre Commercial Tower.
This latest contract win was one of four foundation works secured by CSC in the past three weeks. Collectively, the contracts are about S$118 million.

CSC Holdings (S$0.25) - Undervalued - CIMB 31st-Jan-08
CSC?s recent acquisitions and a 70:30 JV with Malaysia?s IJM Corp are positive moves to expand its business and expertise, and should support future earnings growth. The industry outlook remains robust with activities likely to accelerate in the coming months. We upgrade our net profit forecasts for FY08-10 by 32-116% to capture better margins as well as higher revenue recognition from a robust order book of S$330m.
We upgrade the stock from Neutral to Outperform with a new target price of S$0.57 (previously S$0.36), after rolling forward our target price to CY09 but based on a lower 10x P/E compared to 15x previously.

Reason for huge potential upside >>>
Cheap Valuations & Strong Fundamentals.
☼ See my Top 11_Reasons for BuY ☼
1) CSC Holding is Singapore?s largest foundation and geotechnical engineering specialist, both in terms of size and in revenue. And, one of the region?s leading solutions provider for private and public sector residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects.
Offering a comprehensive range of foundation works all under 1 Roof:
Large diameter bored pile to Diaphragm wall to Micro & Jack-In pile.
☼ Perhaps, this is one of the reason why CSC got the S$240 Marina Bay Sands Project!
2) This is a very high barrier to entry industry due to the complexity engineering requirements. Base on Item 1), CSC had an advantage over general contractors due to its comprehensive services offered under 1 roof, especially in Singapore where the strict regulations in Singapore are preventing some foreign players from coming in. Also, there are not many players around in Singapore due to the shakeout in this industry few years back.
☼ This reason would put CSC at a very high % of getting the project for the Sentosa IR.
3) Foundation work is a must for all construction work and most of the time, materials are provided by Main Contractor. CSC bears little/no Material Cost Risk. Even in cases, where it had to supply its own materials, it is not much of an issue as projects typically last three to six months.
4) In view of the awarding of the Marina Bay Sands project to CSC. I think CSC should had VERY HIGH CHANCE of getting the Sentosa IR project as well.
The awarding of the Sands IR Project would mark A strong vote of confidence for CSC(which Singapore had very stringent awarding selection criteria), and I think this would serve as a Strong Track Record to open global class opportunities for future projects.
5) Just in Singapore alone, Demand had been so tight that the Singapore government had to delay some S$2B worth of non-essential construction projects to 2010.
The focus for now is to concentrate on mega projects such as IR, Marina Bay Financial Centre, new downtown MRT line, Jurong Island Petrochemical plants etc. (Will not go into details here).
6) Malaysia also had plans to develop Southern State of Johor into an industrial and tourism hub. Already, there are a number of infrastructures and property projects in Malaysia with The Malaysia stock index keep making new highs despite the US housing subprime.
☼ CSC already had make presence in Malaysia since Mar'06 (It buy over G-Pile System, a Malaysian provider of Hydralick Jack-in piling services. This is CSC platform to expand into Malaysia)
☼ To date: CSC is actively involved in various strategic initiatives to embark on projects in Malaysia, Vietnam, MiddleEast etc. And, currently, actively, tendering for projects in Malaysia through Joint Ventures etc.

7) Key business not only coming in from Singapore.
The next construction boom would likely be in INDIA and VIETNAM base on its economic activities for the past few years. But, Both countries have UNDER-INVESTED infrastructure. The economic growth are bottleneck by the infrastructure. I deem that as the next wave for CSC order book.
8) Order book record high of S$330 million as at 9-Jan-08. These contracts secured are expected to be substantially completed within a twelve month period. And order could just keep coming in. See item 5, 6, 7 above!
9) CSC reports sterling 1H2008 results
- 1st Half 2008 revenue rose to $185 million, which already exceeded its full year 2007?s revenue of S$127m. In its half accounting year to Sept 31,2007, CSC's net earnings already quadrupled to S$19.1 million.
10) Goldman Sachs (one of the world's largest global investment banks) which is the only winner from the US housing subprime woes was bullish on CSC as well.
11) With its local & overseas investment yielding more results, CSC would eventually get re-rate by analysts.
-> Before that happens, the stock is quite a undervalued GEM under investor radar.
