Shipbuilding & Repair
Shipbuilders' earnings set to accelerate in next two years
Tony Gray - Monday 30 June 2008 www.lloydslist.com
SHIPBUILDERS’ earnings should advance rapidly in the next two years but moderating order growth and the dramatic increase in capacity could represent downside risks further ahead.
This is one conclusion drawn from a major report on shipbuilding by HSBC, the global bank, which also underlines the increasing importance of the oil industry to shipyards.
The research points out that growth in the order backlog has slowed, although it is still ahead 39% on a year-on-year basis.
“With strong order growth in 2006-07 and a relatively solid orderbook, we expect earnings to accelerate in 2009 and potentially further in 2010 (i.e.up 30%-66%), despite rising steel costs,” HSBC says.
Even so, the shares of major shipbuilders have retreated from their peaks in the second-half of last year, as global economic uncertainties, the strong contracting activity during the past two years, tight credit markets, and the potential oversupply of the global fleet, have combined to increase the risk of a further slow-down in order growth in the near-term.
HSBC expects China to take the place of South Korea as the largest shipbuilding nation “in the not too distant future.”
The bank believes specialised shipyards, such as those with strengths in cruiseships, oil rigs, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and oil production, will survive while others will dwindle away as the low-cost Chinese builders gain market share.
HSBC says the most vulnerable shipbuilders are not those in South Korean, but the Japanese which have a comparatively higher cost base - 1.5 times South Korea’s and seven times higher than China’s in terms of average wages.
And the bank warns that the recent acquisition of a 39% stake in Norway-based Aker Yards, the second largest cruiseship builder after Italy’s Fincantieri, by STX Shipbuilding could indicate that western Europe may be starting to lose its hold on that market to South Korea.
With China’s capacity increases and new entrants from India, Vietnam, and the Philippines, HSBC has “no doubt that the growth of global shipbuilding capacity will accelerate through 2010.”
However, the strong order backlog and delivery demand should “mitigate the risk of excessive capacity in the next few years.”
The bank observes that various third party estimates peg global shipbuilding capacity growth between 50% and 90% from now to 2010.
“Capacities of the two largest shipbuilders, China and South Korea, are expected to double and increase 50%, respectively, by 2010,” the report says.
Aggressive expansion plans could lead to overcapacity if orders continue to moderate and cancellation increases.
“The excessive capacity may lead to weaker newbuild prices of new orders and lower margins.”
One of HSBC’s favoured shipbuilding stocks is South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries which it describes as a “deep water oil drilling and production play” with 70% of revenues associated with the oil sector.
Generally, fixed oil and gas platform investments are expected to reach nearly $50bn during 2007 to 2011, which is up 15% compared to the previous five years
