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 year of 2014 with strong earnings. This is in consideration that revenue was lower being impacted from political disruptions, Board of Investment (BOI) delayed investment in early to mid 2014, the continued weakness in Thailand GDP and the domestic automotive market, and moderate export performance. Our operating revenue in comparison with the prior year includes the Industrial Estate Land sales revenue, which had a strong sales and backlog from 2013, being lower by 27%, reflecting these aforementioned constraints. Rental Property was down 11% in consideration of the 2013 sale of factories to the Hemaraj Property Fund and lower manufacturing capacity demand. However, revenue from industrial estate utilities (non power) increased by 9% from the same period of 2013 due to pricing, product mix and volume growth. Industrial Estate Utilities volume demand increased 4% by volume in comparison from the average 2013 volume.
Industrial Estate land sales for 2014 were 665 rai (266 acres or 106 hectares), with 42 contracts, 31 new customers and 11 project expansions from existing customers. Seventy percent of the contracts in 2014 were non automotive.
The industrial estate land sales exhibit the continued weakness in the domestic automotive market with total automotive OEM production volume down 23% through 2014. Export auto OEM growth was flat in volume, however inclusive of auto parts increased 6.4% in value. There continues to be longer term new product launch or technology intensive automotive investments. Increasingly Hemaraj is the choice of leading multinational investment. The ECO Car 2 program applications were approved for five (5) Hemaraj automotive OEM manufacturers.
2014 Investment Approval projects by the Board of Investment (BOI) were Baht 729 billion, a decrease of 18% compared to the same period of 2013. BOI 2014 net applications submitted, reflecting revised privileges in 2015, were 3,469 projects and a value of Baht 2,192.7 billion. This increased 73% in terms of project numbers and 117% in terms of value, being the highest ever.
In 2014, Ready Built Factories increased net 8,522 square meters, totaling 302,070 square meters under rent inclusive of the Hemaraj Property Fund. Hemaraj Logistics Parks for Rent increased net 10,290 square meters or 14% from 2013 cumulative balance.
In Power, Gheco-One, a 660 MW IPP (Independent Power Producer) coal project with Hemaraj 35% shareholding and Glow Energy 65% (GDF Suez group), operated at 95% commercial dispatch availability in 2014, exceeding our operating and financial expectations. Hemaraj is investing in another seven (7) 126 MW SPP (Small Power Producer) projects with 25.01% equity in the first quarter of 2015.
Hemaraj’s financial status remains strong. In November 2014, TRIS Rating upgraded the company from “A-” to “A”, highlighting the shift in Hemaraj’s earning structure towards more predictable revenues.
Hemaraj has broad based revenue in core business areas: - industrial estates, utilities, power, ready-built factories and logistics parks. Our 2014 operating and financial results with the increasingly predictable Hemaraj earnings, despite a difficult economic environment, demonstrate the leverage from these investments. Our strategy remains to provide superior long term returns to shareholders.”
