Diminishing termination risk

Weaker 2Q16 results were below expectations on the higher depreciation charges. We think earnings could be weaker in 3Q (on softer petroleum tanker rate) but to pick up again in 4Q (additional earnings from new LNG and offshore assets, as well as seasonal strength in petroleum tanker rate). We lower our 2016-18 EPS by 8% p.a. on the higher depreciation but maintain our HOLD call and SOP-based TP of MYR7.60.

2Q16 misses

2Q16 earnings and 2nd interim gross DPU of 2.05sen fell short of expectations. The shortfall and weaker YoY earnings were mainly attributed to weaker-than-expected revenue and higher finance costs, the latter due to an additional asset in the portfolio. We reduce FY16-18 earnings forecasts by 1-5% but maintain our MYR1.70 DCF-TP.
