Proxy to Malaysia’s offshore construction We believe the worst is over for MMHE as oil companies around the globe has begun rolling out more offshore development projects – a critical measure to arrest declining production as a result of underinvestment in prior years. With initial developments for RAPID nears completion in 2019, we believe Petronas has started to shift investments into upstream projects from 2019F onwards. Petronas’ Executive VP and CEO for Upstream, Datuk Mohd Anuar Taib, noted that the NOC would allocate RM14-15bn for capex in 2019; c.17-25% higher compared to that in 2018 (Chart 1).

Source: Company, BIMB Securities In light of this, we see improving prospects for the sector especially for MMHE which commands the largest yard capacity for offshore structure fabrication in Malaysia (Table 1). We note that amongst local O&G services companies, only MMHE and Sapura Energy have capabilities to undertake major Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commission (EPCC) projects weighing over 8,000 MT.

This is essentially the offshore platform that processes oil, gas and water from wellhead platforms (WHP) before it is transported to point of export.

BIMB Securities Research Initial Coverage: MMHE

After Bokor projects, we understand that Petronas would be developing a CPP for Phase 2 of the Kasawari gas field with total weight of c.40,000 MT. The field is located in Block SK316; an area which MMHE is familiar as it was involved with the NC3 field development together with Technip in 2013 (Chart 2).

Chart 2: Location of Kasawari field in Block SK316

 The Kasawari field is located within Block SK316 together with NC3 field, approximately 180km north of Bintulu. The field holds over 3 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF) of recoverable hydrocarbon resources, making it one of the largest non-associated gas fields in Malaysia.  The tender for field development worth over US$1bn was issued in late 2015, however the project was delayed due to Petronas’ tight cash flows and increasingly technical challenge as the field contains sour gas (high CO2 content) Source: DOE, BIMB Securities We believe MMHE has an advantage over Sapura Energy (the other local player capable of executing such huge structures) as the latter could face capacity constrain given its already huge orderbook of RM18.6bn. We gathered that Sapura’s fabrication yard utilisation rate could reach 80% by 2HFY20F (FYE Jan) as it was appointed as the contractor for Mubadala’s Pegaga gas field and its own SK408 gas field.

Additionally, MMHE together with partner, TechnipFMC, has been shortlisted as one of Aramco’s vendor for the fabrication of offshore structures under a Long-term agreement (Table 6). We understand that Aramco may spend up to US$3bn pa over 6-year period (2019-2025) for offshore capex development program in Saudi.

For its MBU segment, we are also positive on its prospects. MMHE is currently building a new dry dock, DD3, which adds capacity to take on more third party jobs. DD3 is expected to be ready by 2Q20. The existing docks – DD1 and DD2 – are running at healthy utilisation rate of c.75% with the former being reserved solely for jobs assigned by MISC, leaving only DD2 for third-party or external jobs. The completion of DD3 would provide structural earnings growth to MMHE’s cash-generating unit; the MBU has been its lifeline throughout the crude oil crash. If not for a major provision made in 2018F arising from dispute with an existing client, the division has been profitable.

PP16795/03/2013(031743) | Page 3

BIMB Securities Research Initial Coverage: MMHE

Against its peers – deeply undervalued We compared MMHE against its regional peers and are of the view that the stock is grossly undervalued. Our finding is further elaborated as below:  4 stocks in the sector are loss-making (excluding Daewoo and Keppel) which largely reflects the challenging business condition (ie. scarcity in offshore engineering and construction jobs during 2014-2018 and intense competition in new shipbuilding market amidst oversupplied OSV/vessels market). Of those, Sembcorp Marine is the only outlier which trades over 1.0x FY19F P/B.  Comparing the remaining stocks (i.e. MMHE, Samsung Heavy Ind. and Hyundai Heavy Ind), MMHE trades at c.50% discount in terms of P/B multiples or only 0.4x FY19F P/B with the rest of the sector trading at FY19F P/B of 0.7x-0.8x.  Interestingly, despite MMHE’s strong balance sheet with zero gearing, it only commands 0.1x FY19F ex-cash P/B. Its cash balance stood at RM675m (or RM0.42/share) against its stock price of RM0.555.  At such discount, we believe its current valuation is not justified. At our TP RM0.83 (Table 3), it implies 0.5x FY19F P/B which we think is more reasonable albeit still on the conservative side considering the improving prospects.  Job wins for the Kasawari CPP, in particular, and potentially Limbayong FPSO, could replenish its depleting orderbook and be a much needed re-rating catalyst for the stock.

Limited downside risk, BUY We initiate coverage on MMHE with BUY and RM0.83 TP based on SOP method (Table 4). With its fairly surmountable cashpile of RM675m (ie. RM0.42/share), improving prospects for HEU and stable outlook for MBU, we see upside catalysts outweighing downside risk at current prices. Our TP breakdown is elaborated further below:

 HEU segment. We apply a conservative 5x PE multiple on its average FY19-21F EPS to reflect short cycle in offshore capex spending. We are upbeat on its prospects ahead of the Kasawari CPP project award as well as potential jobs from Aramco after it was

PP16795/03/2013(031743) | Page 4

BIMB Securities Research Initial Coverage: MMHE

shortlisted as one of the contractors for Aramco’s offshore development project.  MBU segment. We conservatively assume a 10x PE multiple to its average FY19-21F EPS; we expect full year contribution from DD3 to enhance the value of MBU in the long run. Key risks  Losing market share to Sapura Energy in key projects. Unfavourable Kasawari CPP contract award to Sapura Energy would be a huge loss to MMHE but we believe the latter’s yard is currently occupied by its huge RM18.6bn orderbook.  Thin margin in fabrication business. The profit margin may come under pressure should crude oil price remain depressed over the medium term.  Cost overruns. MMHE has on several occasions incurred cost disputes with its clients during construction and conversion works. However, the bulk of jobs expected would be from Petronas/MISC which it has had good working relations. Key catalysts  Secure Kasawari CPP project and others. MMHE is currently the front-runner for the Kasawari EPCC jobs alongside Sapura Energy. Favourable outcome of the tender would enhance its prospects.  Successful venture into fabrication of wind farm structures. Successful foray into this would reduce MMHE’s dependency on offshore O&G development which could be challenging in the medium term amidst uncertainty in crude oil prices. We also note that the RE industry offers huge growth potential over the longer term.

PP16795/03/2013(031743) | Page 5

BIMB Securities Research Initial Coverage: MMHE

Business prospects: Measures in store We expect MMHE’s earnings to stage a turnaround and sustain a 21% CAGR over FY17-21F (Table 7) driven by expansion in the MBU segment and HEU orderbook replenishment. Our view is further elaborated as below:

 Expanding marine repair business with Dry Dock 3 (DD3). We expect MMHE’s MBU segment to secure more orders in marine repairs from third-party clients with completion of the DD3 in 2Q20. Despite utilisation rate at both DD1 and DD2 are healthy at c.75%, we understand that MMHE faces bottlenecks to undertake more work orders from third-party clients as it prioritises DD1 for MISC’s LNG drydocking activities. This virtually leaves only one dry dock, DD2, for third-party repairs.

 Preferred vendor for MISC’s marine conversion project. We believe MMHE would be able to leverage on MISC for marine conversion projects. We note that MMHE has completed several conversion projects for MISC in the past including FPSO Kikeh, FPSO Cendor and FSO Benchamas 2 (Table 5). Management aims to undertake at least one marine conversion project every year. We believe MMHE has an advantage to secure the Limbayong Deepwater FPSO project in 2020F through partnership with MISC.

We expect MMHE to secure the Kasawari CPP project sometime in 2019F, leveraging on its sizeable capacity and capability to handle up to c.130,000 MT pa. We estimate the Kasawari CPP contract size to be worth at least RM2.0bn; this would boost the outstanding orderbook to RM2.9bn and provide earnings visibility for the next 2-3 years.

We expect this to improve from 2019F onwards on the back of its huge tenderbook size of RM6bn, comprising both local and foreign projects. Source: Company, BIMB Securities

 Diversifying exposure to renewable energy… MMHE also plans to enhance utilisation rate of its fabrication yard by entering the renewable energy market; in particular, the fabrication of pre-piled jackets for Taiwan’s wind power industry. This venture will be done in collaboration with a reputable partner. If successful, we believe this would be a significant boost to MMHE’s fundamentals as dependency on the O&G sector is reduced.  …and ’s offshore structures. Besides that, MMHE, together with partner TechnipFMC have been selected as one of the Aramco’s Long-term agreement (LTA) vendor for the fabrication of offshore structures (Table 6). The 6+6 LTA entails a 6-year tenure with an option by Aramco to extend another 6 years. We understand that Aramco may spend up to US$3bn annually over a 6-year period (2019-2025) for offshore capex development program in Saudi.

Historical financial highlights – MBU provides MMHE with recurring income

Chart 6: Revenue breakdown by segment Remarks

3,000 RM m  Prior to the 2014 crude oil price crash, the HEU made up c.90% of total revenue. 2,500  It only secured the Bokor CPP in 3QFY17, over 4 years from the SK316 development 2,000 project, worth RM1.4bn, awarded in FY13.  Revenue from HEU fell to c.60% in 2017, 1,500 in tandem with the depleting orderbook.

1,000  As at 3QFY18, outstanding orderbook was only RM900m which mainly consists of 500 works relating to the Bokor CPP.  MBU revenues has been MMHE’s lifeline 0 mainly from MISC (periodic survey on LNG FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 vessels) and steady repair works from Marine Heavy Engineering third party.

Chart 7: EBIT breakdown by segment Remarks

250 RM m  MBU provides a steady recurring income while HEU revenues decline due to scarce 200 offshore development projects. 150  This is apparent when HEU swung into net 100 loss in FY16 in tandem with declining 50 revenue; the earnings impact was partly offset by MBU. 0 FY13 FY14 FY15 FY16 FY17 (50)

Chart 8: MMHE maintains net cash position Remarks

1,000 RM m  Despite thin margins and scarce offshore development projects, MMHE remains in 800 net cash position over the past 5 years.  We believe this was partly due to recurring 600 cashflows from MBU and its strong capital management. 400  MMHE finances its huge working capital requirement via short term borrowings. 200  With a strong balance sheet, we believe MMHE is capable of weathering any 0 market downturn in the future.
