CitySpring’s earnings up by 33% YoY to $70.6m

Though profit remains strong, the Group still has a $270 million loan with DBS Bank, says a report.

Higher gas prices helped the company increase profits.

Here’s more from Kim Eng:

Event
CitySpring achieved group cash earnings (less MI) of $70.6m for FY Mar11 (up 33% YoY), beating our expectations. Distribution per unit (DPU) of 1.05 cent for 4QFY Mar11 was declared. Although the DPU guidance for FY Mar12F was maintained at 4.20 cents, the outcome of the capital structure review to be announced by September 2011 may alter the DPU plan. Nonetheless, we believe the risk of a DPU reduction has been priced in and the selling wave is over. Upgrade to HOLD with target price unchanged at $0.54.

Our View
CitySpring generated higher cash earnings mainly due to the higher town gas selling prices (tariff increases) and sales volume at City Gas. SingSpring and Basslink also performed within expectations. Overall, the cash earnings of these three businesses remained strong. CitySpring and City Gas have obtained commitments from DBS Bank to refinance their respective loans of $142m and $128m, with a corresponding extension of maturity from August 2011 to August 2014 and from February 2012 to February 2014. This suggests an amount close to 70% of the group’s total borrowings will mature in 2014 and 2015. A capital injection is clearly needed to provide long‐term financial flexibility for the group.

Action & Recommendation
We believe the selling pressure that started last November is over as the market assimilates the prospect for a capital injection. We upgrade our stock recommendation to HOLD as we await the results of the capital structure review which will be completed by September 2011. Our DCF‐
derived target price is maintained at $0.54.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
