Sembcorp Marine's earnings to rebound 17% in FY13

Thanks to initial contributions from the Petrobas rig orders.

Here's more from CIMB:

We have reduced our FY12F by 8% on weak 1H12 and a reduced EBIT margin assumption of 14.5% (prev 15.7%). Our FY13F is intact, with the initial contributions from the assumed Petrobras rig orders to offset adjustments to our orderbook recognition schedule.

We expect earnings to pick up in 2H12 and rebound 17% y-o-y in FY13 as 1)  deliveries could see risk contingencies reversed and booked into profits; 2) efficiencies from repeat designs; and 3) contribution from new yard kicks in.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
