The following is a newsclip on Business Times.


  • Scomi Group Q1 net profit drops

    Published: 2009/05/15

    OIL and gas services provider Scomi Group Bhd(7158) said its first-quarter net profit dropped by more than half from a year ago, due to higher financing, raw material and personnel costs.

    Net profit for the January-March quarter was RM9.5 million, compared with RM21.8 million in the same period last year.

    In its filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday, the group said the decline in net profit of RM12.3 million, or 56 per cent, was mainly attributable to the higher cost of raw materials, higher personnel costs with additional manpower especially in the energy and logistics engineering division and increase in finance costs.

    Revenue was RM528.2 million, up 10.8 per cent from RM476.7 million a year ago.

    The major contribution came from its oilfield services and the energy and logistics engineering divisions, which collectively generated 93 per cent to the group's revenue.

    Scomi Group said the uncertainty surrounding global markets, weaker consumer demand and tightening credit will continue to impact its performance in 2009.

    Recognising the challenges ahead, the group said it will continue to practice prudent cash and risk management together with measures to improve cost savings and productivity.

I was also curious on some of the key balance sheet issues mentioned last time. I would mark the current numbers in green.

1. Cash is at 87.595 million. (Cash now is at 301.518 million.) Cash is now 135.191 million.

2. Trade receivables has increased to 438.430 million. (Trade receivable is now at 497.968 million.) Trade receivables is now at 862.085 million!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Group's borrowings is now at 918.363 million. (Group borrowings is now at 1.330 BILLION!!) Group's borrowings is now at 1.273 Billion.

How now my dearest Brown Cow?

ps... I have no idea how Scomi Group stock will trade. If you make or don't make money, you do not have to thank me. :D
