5) BUMI ARMADA

1H June 2015    Tover RM1.031bn   Net (RM219.5m)  EPS (3.7sen)

                    (f) RM418m

 

The Group  reported a net loss of RM291.5 million, as it took a non-cash impairment charge of  RM383.7 million (including an impairment  of a non-core asset at a joint venture).

Excluding the impairment charge, the Group would have posted an adjusted net profit of  RM84.8 million. The impairment charge was made pursuant to MFRS 136 "Impairment of Assets", and relates mainly to the write down of the carrying value of certain vessels in  the T&I and OSV business units, and a non-core asset held at a joint venture, in light of the weak outlook for the oil and gas sector. In addition, the charge includes a write down of the Group's available-for-sale financial assets.

 

First half 2015 (1H 2015) revenue of RM1,031.2 million was 2.6% lower than the corresponding period in 2014. The decline in revenue was due primarily to lower utilisation of the vessels under the OSV and T&I business units.

The Group has an outstanding order-book of RM25.8 billion, with potential extension options worth RM13.3 billion.

 

6) Market - The KLCI is likely to turn more cautious ahead of the Merdeka long weekend where political rallies have been planned hence a consolidation btw 1580-1610pts would be expected.
