Net Income

For Quarter 2’2012, Hemaraj reported Total Net Income of Baht 93.5 million, or an increase of 201% compared with the same period of last year.

The Increase of Net Income for the first 6 months of 2012 was due to growth in most areas of business, particularly industrial estates. Higher industrial estate sales and land transfers resulted in higher revenue recognition. There was also stronger growth in Industrial Utilities and Rental Properties. In addition, there was an unrealized foreign exchange translation loss for Gheco-One of Baht -8.6 million and Baht -94.9 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Normalized Net Income (NNI) for the first 6 months of 2012 was Baht 963.1 million.

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 half of 2012 with strong overall results. The operating business, the last 6 quarters, have been at record levels and the revenue recognition has now caught up based on industrial estate land transfers. Industrial Estate land sales revenue was up 397% reflecting this. In addition, our broad revenue reflected an Industrial Estate Utilities revenue increase of 14% as factory capacity recovered from 2011, as well as a 49% Ready Built Factory rental revenue increase, both being over the prior year.

Investment from the automotive industry remains strong, along with broader participation in logistics, electronics, consumer and others. The booming automotive production in Thailand for 2012 will recover to 2.2 million vehicles in 2012 and to 2.5 to 3.0 million vehicles over the next 2 to 5 years.
Japan has continued to lead with over half of our customer investment the last 10 quarters. For the first 6 months of 2012, record operating results were Industrial Estate Sales of 1,447 rai (572.1 acres or 231.5 hectares), #1 market share with 67 contracts, 44 new customers and 23 project expansions from existing customers. With these operating results reflected, we are increasing for the third time our 2012 industrial estate sales forecast to 2,300 rai from our original 2012 budget of 1,500 rai.
Ready Built Factories for Rent grew by 31,038 square meters or a 20% increase from the 2011 year-end cumulative balance, with another 31,565 square meters pre-leased, in line with both our aggressive construction plan and market expectations. We have launched 4 Hemaraj Logistics Parks inside or near 3 of our Eastern Seaboard industrial estates over the last 12 months.
The first 6 months of 2012 revenue performance was Total Revenue of Baht 3,189.2 million, a 123% increase from the same period of 2011 due to the factors noted above. Total Net income was Baht 954.5 million or on a Normalized Net Income (NNI) basis, taking out swings in Unrealized Foreign Exchange, Baht 963.1 million, comparable to the NNI for the first 6 months of 2011 of Baht 93.5 million.
In power development, our Gheco-One 660 MW IPP power plant investment COD (commercial operation date) was 26 July 2012, being later than our expectations.
The investment policy of Hemaraj continues in core business areas - industrial estates, utilities, power, and properties. The overall operating and revenue performance reflect the increasing broadened revenue growth opportunities that we are pursuing.
We are cognizant of challenging global conditions and a potential investment slowdown for export markets. However, we are less exposed to organic growth only, due to the relocation and rationalization of capital to Thailand due to cost currency and particularly access to automotive and other markets. The improving risk profile of the company and the predictability of the earnings and dividends are at an opportune time. Our strategic vision remains to provide superior long term returns to shareholders.”
