swissco enters offshore rig charting business through rto by ezion ceo ex boss tan kim seng....great

[greengiraffe]

The analysts have made investments looks like a no-brainer. So easy. Anyway, Ezion has yet to turn cashflow positive despite substantial accounting earnings. To me, offshore businesses have never been easy. Ezra and KS Energy that were both seeded by Kim Seng Holdings are clear examples of a fallen darlings. Other fallen victims included Swiber, Jaya.

Any if $ can grow freely on trees, better be Caveat Emptor...

Swissco, CIMB:

In full swing
The acquisition of Scott and English (S&E) by Swissco is in fact an injection of assets by owner Kim Seng Holdings (KSH) into Swissco. The new entity allows KSH to tap on public markets as a source of funding to scale up rig count. We expect aggressive expansion from the combined entity: the true story of Swissco could well lie beyond FY15.

Our target price of S$1.44 is based on 9x FY16 P/E, a 29% premium over the P/E of Singapore OSV owners. We derive our FY16 EPS by factoring in a likely expansion of eleven rigs (four from JV, seven 100%-owned) by FY16, based on US$60m capex and US$8m profit per rig. That said, we think that some fundraising is needed to ensure an ample cash balance. We initiate coverage with an Add call.

Explosive FY15 and FY16 earnings growth

We think that Swissco could experience a 2.6x increase of its FY13 pro-forma consolidated core net profit level to S$107.5m by FY16, aided by an expected rise in profit contribution equivalent to additional 6 full rigs. Core EPS should hit 16.0 Scts after factoring in interest cost. We expect Swissco to pursue new rig contracts aggressively through a mix of joint venture partnership and rig acquisition.

Emulating Ezion
With the addition of S&E, Swissco’s service offerings are similar to Ezion's (EZI SP, Add, TP S$2.41), though with a lower base. Apart from providing vessel services to O&G companies, Swissco inherited and operates four service rigs via a 50:50 JV with Ezion, backed by long-term bare boats charters of 4-7 years from 2013 onwards. Given KSH’s network and expertise, Swissco could follow Ezion’s growth trajectory, and this stock could appeal to investors who have missed Ezion's rally.

Management: the silver bullet

KSH has what it takes to pull off an aggressive expansion. KSH’s owner, Mr Tan Kim Seng, was previously the founder of KS Energy. Being in the business since 1974, he offers a strong network in securing contracts
for his rigs as well as the financial knowhow to fund the expansion. His abilities are backed by good track records: KS Energy had multiple contracts under his charge while S&E was able to secure four contracts
more recently. Mr Tan's familiarity with the business should also remove any doubts over his technical prowess.

This is looking to be one of the best shares to bet on now for the oil price recovery.

Most of Swissco assets are mobile rack-up rigs which operate in shallow-water drilling where oil production cost are low in $ 30-50 range. These mobile rigs are also on the longer term chartering contract.

Daily chart looks fantastic as well.
