1 19 September 2017 Taking a breather in 3Q before charging ahead We saw domestic O&G contract flows and global oil prices take a breather in 3Q. 2Q17 sector earnings were better yoy mainly due to downstream players. We remain confident that contract flows in 2017 will surpass 2016 levels. We tone down our expectations and now look for Brent prices to be in a range of USD50-55/bbl in 2017 (from USD55/bbl) and USD55-60/bbl in Our view on long-term oil prices is unchanged at USD60-65/bbl. We maintain our NEUTRAL sector rating and our top picks are PCHEM, Bumi Armada and Serba Dinamik. Fewer earnings misses as compared to 1Q17 Core net profit for O&G companies under coverage posted a 27.5% yoy growth in the recently concluded reporting season, mainly supported by Petronas Chemical (PCHEM), Bumi Armada (BAB) and Dialog. PCHEM benefited from a higher product ASP and volume as well as stronger USD. Maiden earnings contribution from FPSO Olombendo, FSU Malta and oneoff income from ONGC and LukOil helped lift BAB s earnings. Dialog s earnings growth was mainly supported by the ongoing PDT Phase 2 construction activities. Of the 12 stocks under coverage, 2 exceeded our expectations, 7 were in line and 2 fell short of our expectations. Sapura Energy plans to release its 2Q18 (FYE Jan) results later this month. Drought in 3Q contract flows to pick-up in 4Q So far in 3Q17, contract values are down 87% qoq to RM1bn. Apart from that, the number of contracts awarded came to just 6, vs. 17 in 2Q17. We expect contract flows to pick up for the rest of 2017 following the award of Petronas modification, construction and maintenance (MCM) contract. Maintain sector NEUTRAL; top picks: PCHEM, BAB, and SDH After an internal restructuring, MISC has been classified under our O&G sector. For sector exposure, our top large-cap pick is Petronas Chemical (PCHEM MK, RM7.35), which we upgraded to BUY after its 2Q17 results. In the small/mid cap space, we like Bumi Armada (BAB MK, RM0.74, BUY) and Serba Dinamik (SDH MK, RM2.21, BUY). In this report, we have also lifted our earnings and TP on Dialog (DLG MK, RM2.00), while maintaining our HOLD call. Given our recent downgrade on a change in its fundamentals, Petra Energy (PENB MK, RM0.98, HOLD) falls out of our top small-cap picks. We maintain our NEUTRAL call on the sector.

We saw a similar number of companies (7) reporting in-line earnings, while 2 companies (excluding Sapura Energy) disappointed as compared to 3 in 1Q17.

If we exclude the recently listed Lotte Chemical, sector revenue came in at RM21.3bn (+20.2% yoy, -0.6% qoq). On a cumulative basis, 1H17 s revenue soared 27% yoy to RM44.6bn. We believe the better way to assess the recovery of the overall sector in terms of work activities would be to look at the revenue instead of the net profit. Page 2 of 13

Fabricators like MMHE continued to face pressure in terms of slow order book replenishment and work activities. Offshore support vessel (OSV) players still posted weaker revenue yoy due to depressed charter rates amidst improvement in vessel utilisation. Hook up commissioning and maintenance (HuCC/TMM) players continued to see weaker yoy activities as well. Downstream companies (ie: Petronas Chemical/Dagangan, Dialog, Petron Malaysia) recorded stellar performances supported by better average selling prices in general. FPSO companies (Yinson and Bumi Armada) also posted stronger revenue figures.

The steep decline both qoq and yoy was attributable to an exceptionally high base, whereby Yinson was awarded a FPSO contract in 2Q17 and Wah Seong was awarded the Nord Stream 2 project in 3Q16. On a cumulative basis, 9M17 contracts award increased 6% yoy and totalled RM11.5bn. We believe 4Q17 will see an exponential jump in contract value as The Edge reported yesterday that Petronas will be awarding the MCM contract to the respective players soon. Potential beneficiaries named in the report include Sapura Energy, Dayang, Petra Energy, Carimin Petroleum, Deleum, Icon Offshore, and privately-held Borneo Sea Offshore Engineering Sdn Bhd.

Only ConocoPhillips revised its 2017 capital spending lower by US$200m to US$4.8bn citing uncertainty in the market. If we were to compare the changes between 2017 vs. 2015, capex spending has declined by an average of 32%. In our view, there are 2 ways to look at it: (1) the cost base has been reduced over the years and hence companies are able to reduce capex spending from these cost savings, and (2) companies continue to hold back exploration/production spending which will impact the long-term supply, which should then help lift oil prices.

5 Cash flow remains key Strong emphasis on cash flow in current environment Post 2Q17 results, we saw a slight deterioration in the companies cash flow levels as compared to our previous assessment in May In order to assess a company s ability to continue as a going concern, we have conducted a cash flow analysis on the companies by evaluating their aggregated operating cash flows over the past four quarters with their latest cash positions, and assess if this would be sufficient to cover the next 12 months of borrowings falling due. We divided our list of companies into 2 categories market capitalisation of at least RM1bn and below RM1bn. Among the big-caps, Bumi Armada s gearing has increased from 1.84x to 1.88x, while the shortfall has widened to RM1.4bn. We are not overly concerned with this, as the group will likely see better cash flow in 2H17 following the operational commencement of all the FPSOs and FSU, which will reduce the gearing level. Compared to our previous assessment, UMWOG and Dayang have dropped out of the RM1bn list given their decline in market capitalisation and we have added the newly listed Lotte Chemical in the table.

6 In the small-mid cap space, the names with short-term shortfalls are the usual suspects like UMWOG (RM1.1bn), Perisai (RM1.3bn), Wah Seong (RM428m), KNM (RM418m) and TH Heavy (RM213m). The gearing levels of Perisai, EA Technique, TH Heavy and UMWOG continue to be worrying.

7 Oil price should recover on better dynamics Time is not on our side The Brent crude price has been hovering in the US$48-53/bbl range from July to August 2017 on renewed market concerns on oversupply, making it rather difficult to achieve our earlier US$55/bbl average price assumption for 2017E. In this report, we reduce our expectation slightly and now look for the Brent price to be in the US$50-55/bbl range for 2017E. For 2018E, we expect the average Brent price to be in the range of US$55-60/bbl. We maintain our long-term Brent price forecast at US$60-65/bbl. Fig 9: Brent and WTI oil price trend Source: Bloomberg, Affin Hwang Slowdown in US shale will likely lead to higher oil price Recent evidence shows that the golden days of shale oil production may not last as long as we had expected. In Fig 10, which shows Bakken production profile, we note that the production level has been declining despite an increasing number of producing wells, which suggests that the productivity curve may have been brought ahead at the expense of future production, in our view. Further supporting our view whereby we extracted the data on total US shale oil production and operating rigs (Fig 11-12), we noticed that productivity per rig has declined since peaking in July In addition, the cost of shale production has been inching up and is expected to rise further. These all point to a slower supply moving forward, which will likely help in the overall supply-demand dynamics and lift the oil price in EIA has revised down US oil production for both 2017/18 by 100kbpd and 70kbpd to 9.25mbpd and 9.84mbpd respectively, in line with our observations.

US inventory levels have fallen close to 70m barrels from their record high level of 536m bbls in March This signals to us that excess oil in the market is being absorbed, supported by seasonally higher demand as well as lower OPEC exports. While this is a positive sign and aligns with our view as updated previously, inventory levels for the rest of the developed countries continue to hover at a rather high level 3,000m bbls, which could be one of the reasons why global oil prices have been hovering at current levels.

The EIA has raised its 2018 global oil demand growth forecast from 1.61m bbl/day to 1.69m bbl/day in its shortterm energy outlook (STEO) released in September. With stronger forecasted demand, supply looking to slow down and the continuous drawdown in stockpiles, we believe oil prices are poised to recover to a higher level.

While contract flows this year are tracking to surpass 2016 levels, we believe they are still rather lacklustre. Besides that, service providers in the O&G sector continue to see their earnings lag behind their valuations making them not appealing, apart from a select few names as mentioned below. Our top sector picks are PCHEM (among large caps), as well as Bumi Armada and Serba Dinamik among small/mid caps.

While the share price is up 4% since the 2Q17 results, we maintain our BUY call on the stock. We reckon that earnings upside may materialize from a better pricing environment for ethylene-based products, which should offset the lower earnings from the heavy plant turnaround in 2H17. This is due to better petrochemical supplydemand dynamics from the recent ethylene plant closure in US as a result of the hurricane. Key risks to our BUY call would be a decline in product ASPs, lower plant utilisation levels and weaker product demand. For our latest update on PCHEM, see Upgrading: weak 2H17E looks priced in, 11 August BAB is one of our top sector picks with an SOTP-based 12-month TP of RM0.95. We believe the interim agreement entered with EnQuest for FPSO Kraken will lift the negative sentiment surrounding BAB to a certain extent. This would also indicate that we do not expect any additional provisions for the delay in FPSO Kraken. In addition, we also expect 2H17 earnings to be stronger with FPSO Olombendo progressively getting final acceptance. Key risks to our BUY call would be weaker-than-expect OSV fleet utilisation and the termination of existing FPSO contracts. For our latest updated on BAB, see We see clearer skies from here on, 28 August We recently raised our 12-month TP for Serba to RM2.75 (from RM2.40), based on a 2018E PER of 11x, following the announcement of Pengerang Integrated Development Complex, which they will be undertaking. We continue to like Serba for its competitive edge in the Middle East market (>50% of its revenue predominantly in this region), maintenance business which is more resilient in nature to oil price, and attractive valuation. Key downside risks to our BUY call would be unforeseen delays for client-maintenance scheduling and margin deterioration. For our latest update on Serba Dinamik, see Setting a footprint, 21 August Page 11 of 13

12 Raise Dialog s profit by 3-6%; keeping others infact for now We are taking the opportunity to raise our Dialog s FY18-20E net profit forecasts by 3-6% as we take into account the 430,000 cm³ expansion plan of Pengerang Deepwater Terminal (PDT) Phase 1 terminal. Its partner, Vopak who owns a 44% stake in this project has announced that this expansion is expected to commission progressively from 1Q19 onwards, which will cater to clean petroleum products. This would bring total capacity of PDT Phase 1 to 1.7m cm³. We maintain a HOLD call with a higher TP to RM2.10 (from RM1.85 previously) based on sum-of-theparts (SOTP) valuation.
