SATS Q4 profit slides 7.8%
Weaker revenue, lower contributions from associates, JVs hurt bottom-line
 
AIRPORT services provider SATS' s net profit slipped 7.8 per cent from a year earlier to $42.6 million for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2014, on the back of weaker revenue and lower contributions from associates and joint ventures.
Excluding one-off items, underlying net profit from continuing operations would have slumped 31 per cent to $43.5 million. In the year-ago quarter, the firm incurred a $16.8 million loss from discontinued operations when its UK subsidiary Daniels Group was sold in October 2011.
Revenue fell 3.2 per cent to $434.6 million as the food solutions business posted a 5.7 per cent decline to $266.3 million owing to translation losses from Japan-based unit TFK due to the weaker yen.
Revenue from gateway services edged up 1.1 per cent to $167.1 million, due to a slight uptick in the number of flights (6.7 per cent) and air freight handled (4.4 per cent). Meanwhile, unit meal volumes at Changi Airport were down 6.3 per cent, largely due to Australia' s Qantas Airways shifting its hub for European flights from Singapore to Dubai last year.

SATS: Why it pulled out of SCC deal
 
SATS' decision against going ahead with the $110 million acquisition of the Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC) - a decision it made jointly with Temasek Holdings - was based on developments in the Asian cruise market, its chief executive Alex Hungate has said. SATS had last year unveiled plans to buy SCC from Temasek, but announced last week that it was pulling out of the deal.
" It was based on developments in the Asian cruise market and subsequently, we talked about the growth in the large technical cruise ships coming to Asia," Mr Hungate said, in a reference to the recent announcement that Royal Caribbean would offer year-round sailings from Marina Bay Cruise Centre (MBCC). SATS owns MBCC.
The global cruise operator, which has its Mariner of the Seas vessel at MBCC during the northern hemisphere' s winter months, now plans to move its Legend of the Seas ship to Singapore during the summer months too, in a nod to Singapore' s status as a year-round cruise centre.
Mr Hungate said: " This way, we can start to make money - hopefully, all the way through the year." He noted that previously, losses in the summer months would drag down the stronger performance from the winter months.
 
Dividend has been reduced from15 cents (last FY) to 13cents this FY ...

- SATS will not be proceeding with the acquisition of Singapore Cruise Centre (SCC).
- Mutually agreed between Purchasers and Vendor to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement.
- We revise existing TP downwards after stripping out previously forecasted contribution from SCC, to arrive at new TP of S$3.37 (subject to change again when SATS announces Full Year FY2014 financial results the following week on 22 May).
What is the news?
SATS made an announcement on 12 May after market hours that the Purchasers (SATS' subsidiaries, SATS Airport Services Pte. Ltd. and SATS-Creuers Services Pte. Ltd.) and the Vendor (Hazeltree Holdings Pte. Ltd.) have agreed to terminate the Sale and Purchase Agreement for the proposed acquisition of SCC. The decision was made after consideration of cruise line market developments in Asia. SATS will continue to focus on the successful operations at Marina Bay Cruise Centre (MBCCS).
How do we view this
We spoke to SATS Management to gain clarity over market developments in Asia, and were told that there is a trend for bigger ships to ply the routes and berth in Singapore and that the existing HarbourFront Terminal is not able to accommodate the larger ships due to height restrictions imposed by the cable car line.
This is a positive development for MBCCS as there is no height restriction imposed there and all the large ships would berth there, benefiting SATS which is already the terminal operator at MBCCS through its 60:40 SATSCreuers JV.
With such a trend of larger ships, SATS would likely not be able to realise the returns that was previously envisaged through the investment in SCC. The fixed costs and probable under-utilisation associated with SCC would result in a drag on the overall financial performance of SATS.
Investment Actions
We strip out future contributions from SCC and reverse FY15F cash investment outlay from our previous forecast and revise our TP downwards to S$3.37 (Accumulate). At the same time, we highlight that SATS will be announcing its Full Year FY2014 results the following week on 22 May, and TP is subject to change.
