There was an unrealized foreign exchange translation gain from Power Investment (Gheco-One and GJP NLL) of Baht 59.4 million compared to an unrealized foreign exchange translation gain of Baht 216.7 million in the same period of 2013. Normalized Net Income (NNI) for Q1’2014 was Baht 982.7 million, an increase of 43%.
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 2014 with record quarterly revenue and net income. This was despite the impact from the year end 2013 and continuing political disruptions as well as a delay in Board of Investment (BOI) approvals. Operating Revenue of Baht 2,828.4 million increased 39%. Normalized Net Income of Baht 982.7 million increased 43%, reflecting solid financial results.
Our broadened revenue reflected the Industrial Estate Land sales revenue being up 55%, Utilities (non power) revenue increase of 6%, and Rental Property being down 3 %, all being in comparison with the prior year. However the Rental Property decrease reflects 150,000 square meters of factories being sold to the Hemaraj Industrial Property and Leasehold Fund (HPF) at the end of 2013.
For the first 3 months of 2014, operating results were Industrial Estate Sales of 121 rai (48 acres or 19 hectares), with 11 contracts, 5 new customers and 6 project expansions from existing customers. Industrial estate land transferred in Q1’2014 of 809 rai was another record.
For Power Business GJPNLL, our first Gulf J-Power 126 MW SPP power project with Hemaraj 25% shareholding, commenced its commercial operation in May 2013. Gheco-One, a 660 MW IPP power project with Hemaraj 35% shareholding was operating at 99% technical availability during Q1’2014. Share of Profit from Power Associates therefore increased 108% year over year. Gheco One has an expected Hemaraj profit of Baht 1.2 billion per year from 2014-2016. Hemaraj is planning to participate in another six (6) 126 MW SPP power projects with a 25.01% equity option that have financial close at the end of 2014.
Continuing political disruptions have had a negative impact on local sentiment, GDP growth, tourism, and real domestic demand resulting in a downturn in domestic automotive consumption. This has delayed rental expansion in larger ready built factories and logistics warehouse expansion particularly. We have seen a noticeable increase in activity levels and industrial estate investment decisions recently. The application backlog of six months being processed with the newly formed Board of Investment (BOI) committee will help to restore the level of investment activity. Despite our record start, 2014 will therefore be challenging and we have some caution in our short term plan. We believe that industrial investment in Thailand and our business strategy will remain appropriate long term. Thailand is attractive for manufacturing relocation and growth due to reasonable costs, an integrated supplier network, good infrastructure, and expanded market access.
Hemaraj investments are in balanced growth core business areas: - industrial estates, utilities, power, ready-built factories, logistics parks, and properties. Our Q1-2014 results demonstrate the improving Hemaraj revenue and earnings. Our strategy is focused on providing superior long term returns to shareholders.”
