April 19, 2011 Hyundai E&C Long-term growth to stay robust on greater margins and order growth HKAGÊs strategy is to enable Hyundai E&C to sustain growth by improving construction margins (on the back of enhanced efficiency at the firmÊs operating divisions) and strengthening order performance. The key to the overseas construction business is to complete construction (for plants, civil works, or architecture) earlier than scheduled. Since builders for overseas projects are responsible for engineering, procurement, and construction, they must be good at all three processes in order to improve margins. Although Hyundai E&C has a competitive edge in construction, its competitiveness in engineering and procurement is weak relative to that of global top-tier engineering firms. However, now that HKAG is improving efficiency at key operating divisions, Hyundai E&C should be able to improve its competitiveness in engineering and procurement as well. Furthermore, investors should note that: 1) Hyundai E&CÊs commission rate paid to financial institutions for overseas project guarantees is expected to decrease by 0.1~0.2%p on the back of HKAGÊs guarantee, and 2) the companyÊs credit rating is likely to be raised from AA- to AA.
