RAMLEE, 50250 KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA TEL: +603-20721277 / FAX: +603-20325048 UMW Oil & Gas Corporation Bhd Expensive Acquisition Aborted THIS REPORT IS STRICTLY FOR INTERNAL CIRCULATION ONLY* C O M P A N Y U P D A T E Friday, May 05, 2017 FBMKLCI: 1,758.67 Sector: Oil & Gas TP: RM0.81 (ex-rights: RM0.43) Last Traded: RM0.69 (ex-rights: RM0.40 Abel Goon Tel: +603 2072 1277 ext. 1641 abelgoon@ta.com.my www.taonline.com.my Hold The News UMW Oil and Gas Corporation Bhd (UMWOG) has terminated the deal to acquire Icon Offshore and Orkim. Subsequently, it announced a 14-for-5 rights issue with 1-for-4 free warrants. Issue price for the rights has been set at RM0.30/share which implies a 25.0% discount to the current theoretical exrights price. The rights issue will be fully underwritten by PNB up to its 65% stake. Meanwhile, for the remainder, if necessary, it will be taken up via redeemable convertible preference shares (RCPS) with subscription price of RM0.30/share. The proposal is expected to be completed in 3QFY17 and is conditional on PNB obtaining exemption to undertake a mandatory general offer. Our View The news is a positive surprise as we had previously expected the Icon-Orkim acquisition to succeed given PNB s large shareholding. Furthermore, we believe the new proposals are significantly better for reasons as stated below: Old Proposal Acquisitions are expensive and lack synergistic benefits Highly dilutive as new shares shall be issued to Icon shareholders New Proposal Aborted acquisitions allow UMWOG to focus on its core business, i.e. jackup rigs. No dilution if shareholders choose to subscribe to rights issue RM850mn to pare down borrowings RM1.5bn to pare down borrowings RM1.8bn rights issue is partially underwritten (only RM1.3bn) May erode UMWOG s cashpile if Icon shareholders choose cash over shares RM1.8bn rights issue is fully underwritten UMWOG s cashpile remains intact, and lower debt allows for refinancing flexibility Gearing reduction to 0.9x Gearing reduction to 0.56x 1 Share Information 4 Bloomberg Code UMWOG MK Stock Code 5243 Listing Main Market Share Cap (mn) 2,162 Market Cap (RMmn) 1,492 Par Value (RM) 0.50 52-wk Hi/Lo (RM) 1.04/0.61 12-mth Avg Daily Vol ('000 shrs) 2,663 Estimated Free Float (%) 19.8 Beta 2.5 Major Shareholders (%) UMW Holdings - 55.7 Skim Amanah Saham - 8.4 EPF - 5.0 Forecast Revision (%) FY17 FY18 Forecast Revision (%) 0.0 0.0 Core Net Profit (RM mn) (318.0) (267.7) Consensus (272.9) (181.7) TA/Consensus (%) 116.5 147.4 Previous Rating Sell (Upgrade) Financial Indicators FY17 FY18 Net (Debt)/Equity (x) 1.8 2.1 ROA (%) (5.0) (4.4) ROE (%) (16.5) (16.1) NTA/Share (RM) 0.9 0.8 P/NTA (x) 0.8 0.9 Share Performance Price Change (%) UMWOG FBMKLCI 1 mth 11.3 0.7 3 mth (1.4) 4.4 6 mth (18.8) 6.7 12 mth (24.6) 6.1 (12-Mth) Share Price relative to the FBM KLCI Minimal increase in working capital of RM50mn Sizable increase in working capital of RM310mn Utilisation of Proceeds UMWOG intends to utilise the lion s share of the proceeds (RM1.5bn) to pare down its debt as it aims to reduce finance costs. The group estimates finance costs savings of circa RM60mn per annum. Furthermore, as debt is reduced, the Group will have more flexibility in refinancing. Thus, this will release the RM308mn cash set aside to repay UMW Holdings Bhd. The remaining RM316.1mn will be utilised as working capital and to defray expenses related to this proposal. The boost in working capital will allow UMWOG to sustain a healthy cashflow, thus allowing it to survive the downturn in the oil and gas sector. Source: Bloomberg Page 1 of 5

Other Key Takeaways Impact Acquisition was aborted by management after considering amount of capital required. Furthermore, it is highly likely that PNB will secure the exemption needed to prevent the triggering of a mandatory general offer. UMWOG will be able to breakeven with 6 out of 7 rigs working. Tender activities have increased and UMWOG expects a much better utilisation rate as compared to last year. Firm orderbook stands at RM478mn whereas optional orderbook stands at RM418mn. Maintain our earnings forecast pending approvals for the rights issue. Valuation We expect UMWOG s FY17 to be back-loaded as many of its rigs remain idle in 1HFY17. Going forward, we believe demand for jack-up rigs will pick up and cost cutting measures will improve cashflow. Given the more favourable outlook after the termination of the Icon-Orkim we upgrade UMWOG to HOLD with higher TP of RM0.81 based on higher 0.9x FY17 P/B (previous: 0.54 based on 0.6x FY17/P/B). The higher multiple is in-line with our oil and gas bellwether Sapura Energy. Risks to our call include 1) failure to secure contracts, and 2) decreased demand for jack-up rigs.
