Frasers Centrepoint Ltd: The Beginning

By Stanley Lim - January 10, 2014

Frasers Centrepoint Ltd (SGX: TQ5), or “FCL”, officially began trading on the Singapore Exchange yesterday, 9 Jan 2014. Fraser and Neave Ltd (SGX: F99) had carved out its property business to form FCL.

Shareholders of F&N got 2 shares of FCL for every share of the former they own. Thailand-based billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi is currently the main shareholder of F&N through his two companies; Thai Beverage (SGX: Y92) and TCC Assets.

Business Overview

The business of FCL is grouped into three segments; residential, commercial and hospitality. Its main business is the development of residential properties in Singapore, Australia and China.

Its commercial property business is mainly about managing commercial properties through its two Singapore-listed real estate investment trusts, Frasers Centrepoint Trust (SGX: J69U) and Frasers Commercial Trust (SGX: ND8U).

Lastly, under the hospitality segment, the company owns and manages a portfolio of service apartments internationally.

Results for financial year (FY) 2013

In its FY 2013 earnings announcement for the 12 months ended 30 Sep 2013 that was released on Wednesday night, FCL reported a 17% gain in total net income to S$736m compared to FY 2012. If we strip away the share of FCL’s net income that belongs to minority interests, the profits that belong to shareholders of the company actually grew 12.3% year-on-year to S$722m.

The company’s growth is mainly contributed by an increase in development revenue in Singapore and the hospitality business. The operating profit for the company’s Singapore development business had improved by 66.7% year-on-year while the hospitality business’s operating profit grew by 74%.

Going forward, as seen from management’s presentation on the company’s results, it seems that the property markets in Singapore and China are under pressure due to continued cooling measures by the governments of both countries.

Furthermore, there are signs of an economic slowdown in Australia, which might be damaging to the property market there as well. Nonetheless, the company’s pushing ahead with its commercial and hospitality businesses with more projects in the pipeline.

Foolish Bottom Line

This carve-out seems to be just the beginning for FCL. There are plans for the company to find more synergy with the real estate business of the TCC Group. For example, FCL is exploring the possibility of acquiring some of TCC Group’s hospitality assets to form a hospitality REIT. It will be interesting to observe the progress of FCL.

KrisEnergy: Vietnam Cua Lo-1 Is Being Plugged And Abandoned

10 Jan 2014 09:30
The Cua Lo-1 well was drilled to a measured depth of 2,867 metres, or 2,837 metres total vertical depth subsea. Based on log interpretation, several gas bearing sandstone reservoirs were identified. A drill stem test was conducted on a reservoir evaluated with the largest potential within the prospect. Although gas flowed during the test, the poor reservoir deliverability rate combined with high carbon dioxide content suggests that development of the tested reservoir will be unlikely. The well will be plugged and abandoned...

Falling Knife of the Week: CCM Group

By Sudhan P - January 10, 2014

The shareholders of CCM Group (SGX: 5QZ) saw their company shed 35% in price so far this week. The shares of the firm closed at $0.039 on Thursday. On Thursday itself, the company lost 20.4% of its market capitalisation.

CCM Group is involved in main building works and general building works for residential and commercial buildings in the public and private sectors in our sunny island. The company also provides leasing and installation of access equipment systems.

This week saw the company make a flurry of announcements to the Singapore Exchange.

On Monday, 6th January 2014, CCM Group made announcements of the names of the Directors and the Chief Executive Officer who had increased their stake in the company after a successful issuance of bonus warrants. A total of around 1.7 billion warrants were issued on a day after the New Year public holiday.

On Wednesday, 8th January 2014, it was announced that Ms Chan Pui Yee, Executive Director of the CCM Group and CCM Industrial Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, had resigned “in order to spend more time on family commitments”. According to the company’s website, Ms Chan was also the head of the Human Resources and Administration department.

On the same day, another resignation was announced. Mr Chan Tien Chih, the Executive Director of CCM Group, stepped down to focus on the operations of CCM Group’s construction business with CCM Industrial Pte. Ltd. and to facilitate the board’s rejuvenation and renewal process.

That is not all. Mr Wee Meng Seng Aloysius, Independent Director of CCM Group, also resigned on the same day “on his own accord due to work commitments and health issues”.

The company also announced that that intends to “acquire two shares, comprising 100% of the issued and paid-up share capital of Singapore Construction Pte. Ltd. (SCPL) in Singapore from Mr Chan Heng Fai for a nominal consideration of S$2.00”. Mr Chan Heng Fai who is a Non-Executive Director and a controlling shareholder of CCM Group is also the owner of SCPL. SCPL is also involved in the construction industry.

Furthermore, CCM Group also made public that it intends to incorporate a new subsidiary in Australia by the end of March this year. This will be done through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CCM Property Pte. Ltd (CCMP). This new subsidiary will be used to look for opportunities in property development in Western Australia, which will be part of the firm’s diversification from construction to real estate development.

Lastly, for 8th January 2013, the company issued a profit warning statement with regards to the unaudited financial results for the financial year ended 31st December 2013.

Yesterday, 9th January 2014, CCM Group released an announcement summarising what had happened for the past few days and also stated that CCMP is issuing S$5 million worth of three-year secured redeemable exchangeable notes to fund its foray into Australia.
