Dayang Enterprise’s 2QFY25 core net profit rebounded sharply to RM57.1m from RM9.2m in the preceding quarter, driven by increased offshore activity following the post-monsoon period. However, on a YoY basis, earnings were significantly weaker, declining 55.9% due to lower vessel utilisation and delays in work order execution. This brings 1HFY25 core net profit to RM66.3m, falling well below both our and consensus expectations, meeting only 27.1% and 30.8% of full-year estimates, respectively. While Dayang is expected to benefit from stronger vessel utilisation and job flows in 3QFY25, we believe persistent delays will likely limit the upside. The company has begun executing new maintenance contracts secured in November 2024, with an estimated orderbook of RM5.0bn over the firm period of the next five years. That said, the actual revenue realisation will continue to hinge on client work order issuances. Although the PETRONAS Activity Outlook (PAO) 2025-2027 indicates robust sector activity, we foresee further execution delays following the settlement involving PETROS. As such, we cut our earnings forecasts by an average of -49.3% to reflect these setbacks and downgrade our call to Underperform, with a lower TP of RM1.58 (from RM1.70), based on our sum-of-parts valuation.
-
Offshore Topside Maintenance Services (TMS) segmental profit declined significantly, by 64.3% YoY, mainly due to slower work order execution stemming from delays in the commencement of newly awarded contracts in November 2024. Hence, the volume of work orders issued during the period was substantially lower compared with the previous year.
-
Marine Charter segment was impacted by lower vessel utilisation, which averaged just 64% in 2QFY25 compared to 91% in 2QFY24. The weaker performance was mainly attributed to delays in project commencement by oil majors, resulting in reduced demand for third-party vessel charters. Furthermore, two of its AHTS vessels were taken offline for scheduled dry docking in April and June 2025, further limiting fleet availability during the quarter.
-
Declared 7 sen dividend despite a clouded outlook. Despite a robust RM5.0bn orderbook and healthy industry activity outlook, Dayang’s near-term outlook remains clouded by persistent delays in work order execution. The disconnect between contract awards and actual job flow poses downside risk to earnings visibility in the coming quarters. Nevertheless, the Group declared an interim dividend of 7 sen per share, reflecting its solid financial footing and commitment to shareholder returns. This payout, despite weak operating performance, highlights management’s confidence in the company’s long-term prospects and its ability to weather short-term execution challenges.
