Company Update, 15 October 2014 Vard Holdings (VARD SP) Sell (from Neutral) Energy & Petrochemicals - Oil & Gas Services Market Cap: USD759m Target Price: Price: SGD0.57 SGD0.82 Macro Risks Second Axe To Earnings In a Week Growth Value VARD Holdings (VARD SP) Relative to Straits Times Index (RHS) 130 1.05 125 1.00 120 0.95 115 0.90 110 0.85 105 0.80 100 0.75 95 0.70 18 16 14 12 10 8 6 4 2 90 Jun-14 Feb-14 Avg Turnover (SGD/USD) 13.4 Upside (%) -30.3 52-wk Price low/high (SGD) 0.79 - 1.16 Free float (%) 44 Share outstanding (m) 1,180 Shareholders (%) Fincantieri 55.6 Share Performance (%) Relative 3.50m/2.79m Cons. Upside (%) Absolute Source: Bloomberg Beware of falling trees. In our 10 Oct 2014 report - Lower Oil Prices Hurt Deepwater Investments, we pointed out that street estimates incorporated excessive variance (33-81% disparity in earnings forecasts, basing off street lows) and that downgrades were likely. We had not expected the tree to fall that quickly, but Vard’s profit guidance has now put an end to near-term hopes for an earnings recovery. Negatives from ongoing Brazilian woes, a new European angle. The main reasons for the negative surprise were: i) slower-than-expected improvements in throughput and productivity at the new shipyard, ii) additional costs incurred for the two vessels in the Promar yard orderbook that were built at a third-party yard, and iii) cost overruns for some projects in its European orderbook. The European problems are new and we believe these projects may be completed at zero margins going forward. Hopefully a third swing will not be necessary. We cut our earnings estimates for a second time this week, reducing our FY14-FY16 expectations by 32%, 22% and 25%, as we trim our EBITDA margins further to 5.4%, 6.0% and 6.6% respectively. Book value may not hold. With forecast ROEs below 10%, we believe that Vard may not deserve a premium on book value until a convincing turnaround can be expected. We feel that our P/E valuation of 10x blended FY14-15F earnings already incorporates some premium for its high technical capability, as we value high-growth Nam Cheong (NCL SP, BUY, TP: SGD0.58) at the same multiple. Should the market de-rate Vard, there may still be downside to our TP. We reiterate that in this period of market dislocation, high earnings growth and low valuations are the best formula for lower-risk outperformance in a recovery scenario. Vard cut to SELL (vs Neutral) with a lower SGD0.57 TP (vs SGD0.80).
