- 1Q15 NET INCOME OF BAHT 664.0 MILLION WITH STRONG NET PROFIT MARGIN AT 44.2%
- (NORMALIZED NET INCOME (NNI) OF BAHT 607.9 MILLION)
Hemaraj Land And Development Public Company Limited announced its operating and financial results for 1Q15 as summarized below.
Net Income
For 1Q15, Hemaraj reported Total Net Income of Baht 664.0 million, a decrease of 36% compared with the same period of the previous year. Earnings per-share was Baht 0.068 per share, representing a decrease of 36%. Normalized Net Income (NNI) for 1Q15 was Baht 607.9 million (excluding unrealized foreign exchange gain of Baht 56.2 million), or a decrease of 38%.
Net profit decreased compared to 1Q14 due mainly to lower land transfers compared to the historical peak in 1Q14 as a result of soft land sales from political disruptions in 2014 and also from lower share of profit from investments in associates as a result from planned major maintenance shutdown of GHECO-One in 1Q15. In addition, there was no revenue from sales of condominium in 1Q15 as condominium units at “The Park Chidlom” have been almost sold out. However, revenue from utilities services and revenue from industrial properties for rent and commercial properties for rent continue to improve. As a result, Hemaraj has a reported net profit margin of 44.2%, practically unchanged from that of 1Q14, despite lower revenues. (Normalized net profit margin increased to 38.6% compared to 34.3% in 1Q14)
David Nardone, President and CEO of Hemaraj Land And Development Public Company Limited had the following comments on the company’s performance.
“Hemaraj Land And Development Public Company Limited finished the first 3 months of 2015 with reasonable operating and financial results in the content of the overall Thailand economic environment. Industrial Estate revenue was lower by 58%, as revenue is based on industrial land transfers. This was impacted from a lower revenue backlog reflecting weak 2014 automotive production and overall investment conditions. However, Rental Property revenue increased 13% from the same period of 2014 and across all segments. Revenue from industrial estate utilities (non power) also increased by 3% from the same period of 2014 due to modest volume growth.
Industrial Estate land sales for 1Q15 were 186 rai (74 acres or 30 hectares), with 9 contracts, 7 new customers and 2 project expansions from existing customers. Fifty four percent of the contracts in 1Q15 were non automotive.
Weakness in the domestic OEM automotive sales were down 13% while automotive exports increased 12% resulting in total automotive OEM production volume increasing only 1% through 1Q15. Automotive export value increased 5.1% compared with the previous year quarter auto value. However, automotive in total was 15.84% of total exports. There continues to be longer term new product launches, although with some delays, and technology intensive automotive investments. Increasingly Hemaraj is the choice of leading multinational investment. The ECO Car 2 program applications were approved for four (4) Hemaraj automotive OEM manufacturers.
Three months of 2015 Investment Approval projects by the Board of Investment (BOI) were Baht 218 billion, an increase of 523% compared to the same period of 2014 reflecting the large backlog.
For 1Q15, Ready Built Factories were flat totaling 301,896 square meters under rental inclusive of the Hemaraj Property Fund. Hemaraj Logistics Parks for Rent increased net 5,145 square meters or 6% from 2014 cumulative balance.
In Power, Gheco-One, a 660 MW IPP (Independent Power Producer) project with Hemaraj 35% shareholding and Glow Energy 65% (GDF Suez group), operated at 56% commercial dispatch availability in 1Q15 due to a planned major maintenance shut down. Hemaraj received share of profit from power/utility associates (excluding foreign exchange unrealized translation gain/loss) at Baht 241.2 million, or a decrease of 17% from the same period of 2014.
Hemaraj also signed shareholder agreements with B.Grimm and Gulf Energy Development (GED) in the first quarter of 2015 to develop another 7 SPPs expecting COD starting from 2017 onwards. The investment will increase Hemaraj’s equitable operating capacity from 318 MW to 538 MW by 2019
As reported after the close of the quarter, on April 20, 2015 WHA Venture Holding Company Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of WHA Corporation Public Company Limited completed their voluntary tender offer for 92.88% of the total shares of Hemaraj Land And Development Public Company Limited. This was after acquiring an initial 22.53% of the shares in a mutual agreement from two of the founding Hemaraj shareholders.
The combined leadership of WHA and Hemaraj will provide enhanced opportunities in providing complete industrial estate, utility, power, and logistics property solutions for our customers and in ensuring our joint success going forward.
Hemaraj has broad revenue in core business areas: - industrial estates, utilities, power, and property. Our 1Q15 operating and financial results, despite the challenging economic environment, demonstrate the profitability from these recurring investments. Our strategy is to provide superior long term returns to shareholders.”
