11/13 1/14 3/14 5/14 7/14 9/14 Equity Research Energy Nov 11, 214 Oilfield Services & Equipment Sector Neutral (Maintained) Weak sentiment to last longer than expected Shrinking margin and higher depreciation hurting earnings OFSE plays tumbled ~3% during Sep-Oct amid concerns about a weak earnings outlook due to a drop in outsourcing from national oil companies (NOCs) as well as project delays. We have received updates from the OFSE companies under our coverage and lowered our earnings forecasts accordingly. Our forecasts for OFSE names indicate an overall weaker EBIT margin for 214-16 on intense competition in the domestic market. Companies that have been running aggressive capex plans during 212-13 should see a more severe earnings drop due to escalating depreciation charges (like Anton and Petro-king). Wallace Cheng SFC CE No. AKX251 wallacecheng@gfgroup.com.hk +852 3719 149 GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited 29-3/F, Li Po Chun Chambers 189 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong Downside risk for 214 earnings forecasts remains It is inevitable that there will be a setback in earnings growth at OFSE companies this year. Our forecasts should reflect the most feasible amount of revenue that each company will book during 214. Following Anton, we believe Petro-king is also likely to post a profit warning given our expectation for a 49% YoY decline in net profit. Stripping out one-off items, Hilong s core net profit in 214 should be 5% lower than in 213. Overall, we do not see much upside risk for 214 earnings forecasts due to a limited operation period. In contrast, we believe there is more downside risk as we cannot rule out the risk that NOCs will delay remaining contracts. Our earnings forecasts are lower than consensus Overall, our forecasts for our five OFSE names are more conservative than consensus, especially for Anton and Petro-king. We believe the difference is due to: 1) our expectation for a weaker margin recovery in 2H14; 2) our more conservative outlook for 2H14 revenue booking. 215 revenue visibility is poor at the moment given the lack of information on future NOC biddings. We are cautious on margins despite the outlook for more biddings. Sector performance 12 11 1 9 8 7 6 MSCI-China OFSE Sector Hilong is our top pick We only recommend seeking trading opportunities in OFSE names for the remaining two months of the year given expected weak sentiment and uncertainty in 215 orders. Hilong is our top pick during this time. We expect the company to post better 2H14 drill pipe orders on strong replacement demand, while its lack of exposure to the Chinese oilfield servicing market means we are not too concerned about the outlook for its earnings. Trading at 7.3x/6.x 215/16 P/E, it is still undemanding. We suggest caution on Anton and Petro-king, for which we believe this is more downside risk in earnings consensus for 214/15. 5 Sector share prices 1M % Chg YTD % Chg Anton (29.8) (65.)

Equity Research Energy Nov 11, 214 Hilong (1623 HK) Buy (Maintained) Target price: HK$3.25 Wallace Cheng SFC CE No. AKX251 wallacecheng@gfgroup.com.hk +852 3719 149 GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited 29-3/F, Li Po Chun Chambers 189 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong Positive findings should alleviate market concerns; time to Buy Better sales orders for drill pipes Positive findings from our recent update from Hilong should clear some concerns on the stock. First, Hilong has received strong orders for drill pipes totaling 2kt in 2H14, with overseas orders for the product slightly higher than those from the domestic market. This is actually better than our original forecast of only 18kt. Non-API standard pipes are expected to remain at 3% of total sales volume. Management believes replacement demand for drill pipes remains intact due to their short life span. As a result, drill pipes sales should be less vulnerable amid a weak crude price. We therefore believe the market has been too concerned about a potential slump in drill pipe sales for Hilong. Concern about Hilong s oilfield services overdone There is also concern about PetroChina s and Sinopec s plan in domestic oilfield servicing, namely, improving efficiency, trimming outsourcing and taking a bigger market share. We believe this is also a major reason for Hilong s recent sell-off, yet this is unjustified. Hilong has no contract with PetroChina or Sinopec, or within China. The recent drilling contract from Petromanas/Shell in Albania demonstrated Hilong s strength in the overseas market. We still forecast 11% YoY growth in Hilong s oil servicing segment in 214 and 215. Recovery in line pipe technology segment The company s line pipe technology segment is also showing more signs of recovery, driven by: 1) strong demand from the domestic market following the slowdown in 1H14; 2) the overall utilization rate improvement in OCTG coating in 2H14 after the technology upgrade in 1H14, as well as its new plant commencing operation and seeing smooth progress. Looking ahead to 215-16, construction of West-to-East pipeline Phase 3 and the Russia-China pipeline are likely to support volume growth in line pipe coating. However, we tune down our revenue forecast for CRA + CWC to Rmb1m (from Rmb12m) due to slower order growth in CWC.

(m) 5.6 52W high/low (HK$) 7.1 / 2.38 First offshore contract still not yet finalized There has been a long wait for Hilong s first offshore pipe-laying contract to be signed. Management explained that the delay was mainly due to extra time spent on the legal issues of the contract. It also revealed that the first contract is likely to have a value of Rmb2m and a 5-day working period. In light of the delay, we have trimmed our revenue forecast for its offshore segment from Rmb92m/36m to Rmb31m/211m in 214/15. Good Buying opportunity We cut our 214/15/16 net profit forecasts by 7%/11%/9% to factor in the previously mentioned forecast changes. Our revenue growth forecasts for 214/15 are now 12%/19% YoY. We forecast a rise in core earnings of 4%/14% in 214/15 to Rmb436m/495m. The recent sell-off has put Hilong at an attractive valuation of 8.3x/7.3x 214/15E P/E. We believe most of the negatives should now be factored in and that there is now a good opportunity to accumulate. In view of the recent de-rating of the whole sector, we have changed our valuation benchmark to 8.5x forward P/E, -.5 SD compared to its historical average.

Equity Research Energy Nov 11, 214 SPT Energy (1251 HK) Buy (Maintained) Target price: HK$2.87 Wallace Cheng SFC CE No. AKX251 wallacecheng@gfgroup.com.hk +852 3719 149 GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited 29-3/F, Li Po Chun Chambers 189 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong A tough battle to maintain growth Short-term troubles Our latest update from management gave us a clearer view on the challenging environment for non-soe oilfield servicing (OFS) companies. Outsourcing to private players is shrinking and companies are finding it tough to obtain new servicing contracts. Nevertheless, management believes PetroChina and Sinopec, who have stated aggressive plans to improve operating efficiency and enlarge market share in China, also face difficulties in cutting off private companies in a short period. Resources are unlikely to be able to be reallocated within NOCs. Moreover, leading private OFS companies such as SPT have sound track records in terms of operation and niche technologies in specific areas. Conservatively estimate 1% YoY growth for 214 bottom line We estimate SPT currently has a total contract value of Rmb2.8bn signed for whole-year 214. Under normal circumstances, SPT has typically completed all signed contracts (plus some new contracts) each year in 4Q. That means in normal years, an estimated Rmb2.9-3.bn is reasonable for SPT. However, given the current abnormal situation, we have conservatively revised down our 214/15 revenue forecasts from Rmb3.bn/3.8bn to Rmb2.8bn/3.1bn, and lowered our 214/15 net profit forecasts by 9%/32%. Our bear case scenario assumes 5% of total contracts are delayed in 214 and just Rmb3.bn revenue in 215, resulting in net profit 7.3%/7.2% lower than our base case net profit for 214/15. Our bull case revenue is +3%/+15% higher than our base case for 214/15 while earnings are 4%/21% above our base earnings for 214/15. TP cut to HK$2.87 We have applied different P/E multiples to derive fair values for each case: 1) 8.6x 215E P/E for our bear case, which is historical average forward P/E minus 1 SD; 2) 11x 215E P/E for our base case, which is historical average forward P/E minus.5 SD; 3) 13.8x 215E P/E for our bull case, which is historical average forward P/E. We have not applied the trough P/E multiple of ~5x P/E to our bear case as SPT s track record of stable earnings growths since listing in Dec 211 deserves a slight premium. We cut our target price to HK$2.87 (from HK$5.34). We maintain our Buy rating on SPT.

(m) 6.7 52W high/low (HK$) 5.91 /2/37 Seek trading opportunities before uncertainty is removed Given the current sentiment in the oil servicing sector and uncertainty in the industry, we understand that investors do not have a strong appetite for private oil servicing companies, even with strong earnings track records and management guidelines. The ~4% slump in SPT s share price since Sep was the result of earnings forecast cuts for 214/15, and magnified by the sector derating triggered by the deteriorated outlook for private oil servicing companies and the slump in the crude price. We believe crude oil price rebound could be a catalyst for private OFS plays before uncertainty in the industry landscape for private OFS companies is removed. We suggest investors look for trading opportunities only with SPT, especially when its share price comes close to our bear case fair value of HK$2.8.

Equity Research Energy Nov 11, 214 Honghua Group (196 HK) Hold (Initiation) Target price: HK$1.64 Wallace Cheng SFC CE No. AKX251 wallacecheng@gfgroup.com.hk +852 3719 149 GF Securities (Hong Kong) Brokerage Limited 29-3/F, Li Po Chun Chambers 189 Des Voeux Road Central Hong Kong Execution uncertainties remain; initiate at Hold Breakthrough in offshore segment in 214, but uncertainty remains 214 was a year of breakthrough for Honghua s offshore segment as the company received its first offshore rig order from Orion in Aug. Together with orders for offshore drilling packages and oil/chemical tankers, a total of US$576m in revenue is set to be booked in from 214-16. Despite the great start in 214, a long production cycle (24 months+) and an expected shallow learning curve in offshore equipment/machinery lead us to be conservative on Honghua s offshore development. We expect its offshore segment to contribute just <5% of total revenue in 215/16. Mixed views on other segments We conservatively forecast land rigs will see moderate sales volume growth of 2-3 units in 215/16 as upstream players may be more conservative with capex following the recent slump in crude oil prices, and given our expectation on Honghua for modest order growth from shale gas development in China. However, we forecast better revenue growth (+42% YoY) in its parts and components segment in 214 as Honghua started to increase trading sales. Yet, the thin margin in trading sales is likely to limit margin improvement in this segment. Meanwhile, its oil servicing segment was hampered by a low utilization rate in China, resulting in a gross loss of Rmb3m in 1H14. We expect a recovery from 2H14 onwards on a better utilization rate, but do not see the segment s gross margin returning to the >2% level seen in 213. Net profit to remain flat in 214 We estimate net profit will decline by 1% YoY in 214 on a weaker gross margin of 22.6% vs 23.7% in 213 and higher opex. We expect stable overall gross margins in 215/16, so our forecasted 9%/12% net profit growth will be mainly driven by revenue growth. We also believe capex is likely to peak in 214 as Honghua has completed most of the infrastructure in its offshore segment. We expect net gearing will drop from 34% to 22% during 214-16. Stock performance 5. HK$ 4. 3. 2. 1.. Nov-9 Nov-11 Nov-13 Initiate at Hold We derive our target price of HK$1.64/share based on a blend of fair values: 1) 7.5x 215E P/E; 2).75x 215E P/B, representing a low-cycle valuation of historical average forward P/E and P/B minus.5sd. Honghua s current valuation is relatively low compared to its valuation range over the past three years. Our major concerns for Honghua in next two years are: 1) execution in its offshore segment following two years of rapid development; 2) whether we will see a recovery in its oil service segment; 3) its ability to capture more land rig contracts from emerging markets such as Russia and the Middle East. We believe our target price is justified based on the aforementioned concerns, and we initiate our coverage with a Hold rating. Downside risks 1) slower-than-expected land rig sales volume; 2) lower margins in its land rig and oil servicing segments due to intense competition; 3) lower-than-expected revenue recognition in its offshore segment.

HK$. Mar-13 Aug-13 Jan-14 Jun-14 Struggling for a recovery; initiate at Hold Slight recovery in 3Q14 after huge setback in 1H14 Petro-king was hit severely in 214, largely due to the slowdown in the domestic oilfield services market in 214. Revenue from northern China and north-west China dropped 42%/38% YoY in 1H14 due to the slowdown in demand in Ordos and a drop in ASP/well. In addition, revenue from PDVSA, Venezuela s national oil company, shrank by a significant 72% YoY in 1H14 on slow receivables collection. Coupled with higher labor costs and depreciation, Petro-king saw an 81% YoY drop in 1H14 net profit. There was a slight recovery in the domestic market in 3Q14 in terms of the number of jobs completed. Also, drilling services in Iraq started to make a contribution during the period. We estimate the number of jobs completed in 4Q14 will be similar to 3Q14, yet revenue/well in the domestic market is expected to remain on a downtrend on a HoH basis. Uncertainties remains for PDVSA Collection of receivables from PDVSA remains a major concern after receivables from PDVSA led to a sharp increase in turnover days to 32 days by the end of 213. Repayment progress is still slow, amounting to HK$11m at end-3q14 compared to the estimated HK$4m outstanding receivables. Receivables issues have also significantly affected Petro-king s revenue as a screen pipe order of around HK$1m from PDVSA was postponed during 1H14. Our understanding is that Petro-king will ship this order only when more receivables are collected. Net profit hit in 214 We estimate net profit will drop by 49% in 214 to HK$12m due to the slowdown in the domestic market and more stringent control of its business with PDVSA. We forecast revenue to drop slightly by 5% YoY, and expect EBIT margin to shrink to 14.9% in 214 from 24.5% in 213 dragged down by higher depreciation costs amid low utilization in its oil servicing segments. We forecast 51%/28% net profit growth in 215/16 on the back of the better outlook for revenue growth from Iraq, as well as an increase in production enhancement demand from Sichuan. Initiate at Hold Petro-king s share price has been resilient since Sep, compared to the average 3-4% share price slump for peers. Our 214/15 revenue and net profit forecasts are 7.3%/4.2% and 32.1%/2.3% lower than consensus. The difference is mainly due to our more conservative estimate for the recovery in domestic operations during 2H14. Trading at 16.1x/1.x 215E P/E & P/B, we believe downside risk in earnings has not been fully factored in. We apply a lower benchmark for historical average forward P/E and P/B compared to peers, i.e. historical mean -1.5 SD, to reflect the greater downside risk for earnings. Our target price of HK$2.27 is derived from a blend of 17x 215E P/E and.97x 215E P/B. We initiate our coverage of Petro-king with a Hold rating.

Working nature and revenue estimates for the production module: 1) Production Operation Service: a light-asset service based on a long-term oilfield production service contract. Major servicing area: Middle East and African markets. Apart from the Rmb14m (out of the Rmb27m total backlog) expected to be executable in 215, we also added in ~Rmb4m in revenue from ad hoc working contracts. 2. Workover service: covers business of well workover, profile correction and water control. Major servicing area: North-west China. Current backlog in 215 amounts to Rmb15m, including the Rmb114m contract in East Xinjiang. 3. Reservoir production technical service: aims to increase recovery rate, dynamic monitoring and evaluation of reservoirs, etc. Management expects the initial setting to be complete in 215. We expect Anton to book less than Rmb1m revenue from this service in 215. Positive on revenue growth amid some concerns on margin We view this move as neutral to positive for Anton. We believe Anton s production module development should bring stability to revenue growth, given its focus on long-term production service contracts and regular repairs. We believe national oil companies still need help from private companies, especially their niche in certain services and project management, in order to improve project efficiency. However, our concerns surrounding Anton s production module are mainly connected to: 1) gross margin of workover services, as we expect this to be lower than the average for the downhole operation segment; 2) overall labor cost control, as the company expects to add 6 engineers in the next three years. Slight increase in earnings forecasts; maintain Underperform We lift our 214/15/16 net profit forecasts by 2%/9%/9% to factor in our adjustment in revenue mix and the higher contribution from the production module services. We stick to our low-cycle valuation benchmark of 1.1x P/B and lift our target price to HK$1.52 (from HK$1.46). We maintain our Underperform rating.
