TRC SYNERGY BERHAD - Secures RM191m Job

TRC announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Trans Resources Corporation Sdn Bhd had accepted the offer from the Public Works Department Malaysia (JKR) to construct and complete the refurbishment and upgrading works for Parliament House of Malaysia (Phase 2B). The contract sum is totaling RM191m, but no details were given on the construction period. This came as no surprise as the Group had indicated earlier that it might clinch another job soon in our meeting with the Management back in June. Together with the RM414m building jobs secured back in April, the total outstanding orderbook will now stand at c.RM1.76bn from RM1.56bn previously. That said, we believe that earnings will continue to be slow due to margin compression from higher material costs and cost over-run for some of the on-going projects.
Construction outstanding orderbook increases to RM1.76bn, with the new job. Recall that the Group snagged a job i.e.RM414.6m back in April from KL Eco City Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of SP Setia, the master developer of KL Eco City near MidValley Megamall) to construct the foundation works and superstructure of an office tower. Together with the new job, TRC‟s new job win has already reached c.RM606m, which is way better that FY13‟s job replenishment of RM170m and higher than our expectations of RM300m of new jobs per annum. That said, earnings are kept unchanged for now as the KL Eco City building job is only projected to complete by 4Q2017. In addition, TRC‟s earnings might still be under pressure due to higher material costs and cost over-runs that could affect margins longer than expected. A recent accident at its LRT site (for the third time) is also worrying.
Maintain Neutral and TP of RM0.54. Granted, TRC is a good proxy to the Klang Valley MRT project and SCORE projects but we believe until there‟s stabilization in the Group‟s earnings, we would prefer to take a conservative stance.
