Investment Highlights
• We maintain our BUY recommendation on SapuraKencana
Petroleum (SapuraKencana), with an unchanged fair value of
RM3.70/share – based on an FY14F PE of 22x, which is the 2007 peak achieved by Kencana Petroleum.
• Upstream reported that Seadrill-SapuraKencana and Technip-NorSkan are racing neck-and-neck to secure the next batch of 6-7 pipe-lay flexible support vessel (PLSV) charters, potentially
worth over US$5bil, earmarked to work in the Brazilian pre-salt play.
• For the initial 6 vessels, Petrobras may split three contracts each between Seadrill-Sapura and Technip-NorSkan, likely picking two vessels from each category in the tender. While a
seventh PLSV may be awarded to Subsea 7 if Petrobras opts to diversify the risk, Seadrill-SapuraKencana and Technip-
Norskan are seen to be best-placed to secure the bulk of the fresh charters.
• In our view, Seadrill-SapuraKencana appears likely to get at
least three of the PLSVs, given that Petrobras may need to diversify contracting risks to more players.
• As indicated in our report early this month, we estimate that SapuraKencana’s net gearing of 1.2x immediately upon the US$2.9bil acquisition of Searill’s tender rigs next month could
moderate to 90% by end-FY14F. This assumes that the proposed placement exercise leads to 969mil new
SapuraKencana shares at RM3.00/share.
• While the group’s capex pipeline of US$1.4bil (including 2 derrick-lay vessels, 3 flexible pipe-lay support vessels for
Petrobras and 2 more tender rigs) remains sizeable, we note that US$500mil from the 50%-owned PLSV will be funded
largely off-balance sheet.
• Assuming that SapuraKencana secures the 3 new PLSVs, which we understand could cost around US$300mil each, the
group’s forward net gearing is unlikely to rise significantly above 1x given the group’s net profit of RM1.2bil-RM1.3bil
annually. Note that the group’s equity contribution for the new PLSVs may amount to only RM90mil assuming a 20:80 debt-to-equity financing for the 50:50 JV with Seadrill.
• Hence, we maintain our view that another equity-raising exercise may not the required over the next 1-2 years
following the current placement proposal. We also maintain FY13F-FY15F net profits as any contributions from the prospective Petrobras PLSVs are likely to come in beyond FY15F.
• SapuraKencana’s valuations are currently attractive at an
FY14F PE of 18x, which is at an 18% discount to Kencana Petroleum’s peak in 2007.

GROWTH PROSPECTS UNABATED
� Maintain BUY call
We maintain our BUY recommendation on SapuraKencana Petroleum (SapuraKencana), with an unchanged fair value of RM3.70/share – based on an FY14F PE of 22x, which is the 2007 peak achieved by Kencana Petroleum.
SapuraKencana’s valuations are currently attractive at an FY14F PE of 18x, which is at a 18% discount to Kencana Petroleum’s peak in 2007.
� Almost a tie for fresh Petrobras PLSVs
Upstream reported that Seadrill-SapuraKencana and Technip-NorSkan are racing neck-and-neck to secure the next batch of 6-7 pipe-lay flexible support vessel (PLSV) charters, potentially worth over US$5bil, earmarked to work in the Brazilian pre-salt play.
For the initial 6 vessels, Petrobras may split three contracts each between Seadrill-Sapura and Technip-NorSkan, likely picking two vessels from each category in the tender. While a seventh PLSV may be awarded to Subsea 7 if Petrobras opts to diversify the risk, Seadrill-SapuraKencana and Technip-Norskan are seen to be best-placed to secure the bulk of the fresh charters.
Recall that the Seadrill-SapuraKencana joint-venture is already contracted to provide three PLSVs with charters worth US$1.4bil (RM4.2bil) to work in Petrobras’ pre-salt fields by 2014-2015.
� Neck-to-neck with Technip-Norskan
Upstream reported that bids for the new PLSVs are so close that who exactly will get what is yet to be decided. Sapura Navegacao – a 50:50 joint venture between Seadrill and SapuraKencana – has proposed the construction of a 300-tonne PLSV in Brazil for a day rate of US$323,000, slightly below Technip-NorSkan’s bid of US$325,000. Both offers are for vessels to operate for Petrobras for eight years, suggesting each bid alone may be worth over US$900mil.
Petrobras also received bids for Brazilian-built units featuring 550-tonne tension capacities with Technip-NorSkan’s day rate bid of US$367,000, edging out Sapura-Seadrill’s US$370,000.
For the same 550-tonne category with construction abroad, prices came in much lower. Sapura proposed the construction of two PLSVs for day rates of US$295,000 for eight years each, and one PLSV for US$300,000 for a five-year contract. Subsea 7 finished in second place, offering two PLSVs for US$302,000 each, and one unit for a day rate of US$305,000 for eight-year periods.
Given the huge price difference of around US$70,000 in the day rate for a 550-tonne PLSV to be built in Brazil and
abroad, Petrobras may opt to have all these vessels constructed internationally.
Both proposals are also for eight-year contracts, indicating that the value could rise over US$1bil for each vessel. It appears unlikely that Petrobras will assume the cost of having the two units built in Brazil for this category of PLSVs.
� Razor-thin difference on bids
For the bid for the larger 650-tonne PLSVs, Technip-NorSkan bid for one vessel for with a day rate charter of US$309,000, finishing slightly ahead of Sapura’s day rate of US$310,000 for a single unit.
However, if two such vessels were chosen, Sapura’s bid was the best with a pair of PLSVs for US$310,000 each, while Technip-NorSkan bid two vessels for US$315,000 each. Based on eight-year contracts, the total value of the charters amounts to US$900 mil per vessel.
Sapura also proposed the construction of a single 650-tonne unit for US$315,000 for five years. Hence, if the Petrobras chooses to charter just one 650-tonne PLSV, Technip-NorSkan will be the winner, but if two PLSVs were taken, the bidding rules determine that negotiations will take place with Seadrill-Sapura.
� Further negotiations with Petrobras likely
The tender process has picked up pace more than two months after technical and commercial bids were submitted, with Petrobras having opened prices within the past week. Further negotiations with the Brazilian state-controlled giant are seen as key to determining who will get what.
Petrobras is seeking new-build PLSVs with different tension capacities, and has divided the tender into several packages, with charters on offer for five or eight-year periods, also giving players the option to build some vessels locally and others abroad.
While this appears to be a technical tie, some key factors such as the type of fuel proposed and local content thresholds, currently set at a minimum of 41%, may affect the results of the tender.
� Likely to secure three of the new PLSVs
In our view, Seadrill-SapuraKencana appears likely to get at least three of the PLSVs, given that Petrobras may need to diversify contracting risks to more players.
Characterised by their high pipe-lay tension capacities, the 550-tonne and 650-tonne PLSVs will be employed mainly to -install umbilicals, flexible flowlines and risers to connect subsea wells to floating production, storage and offloading vessels in the ultra-deep water portion of the Santos basin.

The first delivery for the vessels is scheduled for about 42 months after contract signing. If awarded multiple contracts, each subsequent vessel will be delivered within an interval of six months.
� Net gearing of 1.2x could moderate below 1x
As mentioned in our report early this month, we estimate that SapuraKencana’s net gearing of 1.2x immediately upon the US$2.9bil acquisition of Searill’s tender rigs next month could moderate to 90% by end-FY14F. This assumes that the proposed placement exercise leads to 969mil new SapuraKencana shares at RM3.00/share.
While the group’s capex pipeline of US$1.4bil (including 2 derrick-lay vessels, 3 flexible pipe-lay support vessels and 2 more tender rigs) remains sizeable, we note that US$500mil from the 50%-owned PLSV will be funded largely off-balance sheet.
Assuming that SapuraKencana secures 3 new PLSVs, which we understand could cost around US$300mil each, we do not expect the group’s forward net gearing to rise significantly above 1x given the group’s net profit of RM1.2bil-RM1.3bil annually. Note that the group’s equity contribution for the new PLSVs may amount to only RM90mil assuming a 20:80 debt-to-equity financing for the 50:50 JV with Seadrill.
Hence, we maintain our view that another equity-raising exercise may not the required over the next 1-2 years following the current placement proposal. We also maintain FY13F-FY15F net profits as any contributions from the prospective Petrobras PLSVs are likely to come in beyond FY15F.
