Kelington Group Malaysia Results Review

Construction & Engineering | Industrial

  • Keep BUY and MYR5.40 TP, 17% upside, c.2.6% yield. Kelington Group’s 1H25 results were broadly in line with a stronger 2H in the offing. GPM for the quarter reached a new high as the group capitalises on higher margin projects. We see earnings growth supported by the expansive tenderbook exceeding MYR5bn (MYR1.3bn in outstanding orderbook) with FY25F looking to be another record year.
  • Within expectations. 2Q25 core PATAMI of MYR32.2m (+29% QoQ, +28% YoY) brought 1H25 core PATAMI to MYR57.1m (+15% YoY), at 37% of our full-year forecast (consensus: 35%). This is consistent with historical run-rates, with a stronger 2H in the offing. Notably, GPM reached another high of c.23% (1Q: 18%, FY24: 19.5%) – a reflection of management’s focus on higher yielding projects and higher liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) contributions. A second interim DPS of 2.5 sen brings 1H25 payout to 5 sen with DPR at 63%.
  • Results overview. 2Q25 revenue contracted 12.2% YoY (+4.3% QoQ) on: i) Timing differences (tapering down of older projects) with new projects to ramp-up in the ensuing quarters, and ii) lower industrial gas revenue (-21% YoY). The advanced engineering/ultra high purity (UHP) segment remained the largest contributor at 66% for the quarter. General contracting and process engineering revenues surged 108% and 82% QoQ, which offset lower UHP and industrial gas contributions. The latter’s contribution continues to slip on lower sales of specialty gases and project-related revenues.
  • MYR1.3bn in outstanding orderbook (end-2Q25); tenderbook at >MYR5bn. The flurry of jobs should keep the group busy well into FY26F with advanced engineering jobs (UHP-related) making up the lion’s share at MYR882m (66.2%), followed by general contracting (MYR245m/18.4%) and process engineering (MYR197m/14.8%). Including the recent letter of intent secured for a maiden German hook-up job, YTD order wins are closing on the MYR800m mark (2Q25: MYR529m). We believe order wins are well poised to surpass the MYR1.1bn achieved in FY24, backed by an impressive MYR5.4bn in tenderbook. Notable tenders with outcomes expected by 4Q25 include a new fab in Germany for Taiwan’s leading foundry (JV with European principals) worth c.MYR1.5bn and another fab in India (MYR292m). KGB is also setting its sights on the Japan market, having established a new subsidiary.
  • Forecast and valuation. Our forecast is unchanged pending the results call today. Our TP is based on 26x FY26 FD EPS, on parity with the historical KLTEC mean with a 6% ESG premium attached.
  • Key risks are weaker-than-expected orderbook replenishment, weaker-than-expected margin and/or earnings, and delays in project execution.
