Pacific Radiance trumps expectations with 82% boost in 2Q14 vessel gains

As it enjoyed vessel utilisation rates of 85% at the fleet level.

Pacific Radiance delivered another quarter of strong growth with revenue up 16% q-o-q to USD48.7m, driven by high utilisation in the subsea division. Gains from vessel sales were higher than expected at USD18.1m, driving an 82% q-o-q growth in PATMI to USD32.4m.

According to a report by OCBC, Radiance enjoyed vessel utilisation rates of c.85% at the fleet level, and management continues to target steady improvement over the medium term.

Three vessels joined the fleet in July-August - it expects another six new vessels from today till end-FY14, and there are c.20 vessels in the building programme that will join the fleet in the next two years.

This does not represent absolute fleet growth as we expect USD20m-25m of vessel sales gains per year, or about 4-6 vessel sales per year. There are no purchase options nor obligations on any vessels in Radiance’s fleet, yielding more flexibility in fleet optimisation.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

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