A Turning Point For The Oily Mess In Brazil? The latest newswire reports suggest a possible turning point in Brazil. Sete Brasil's restructuring plan has received shareholders’ approval. Its rig-building programme will most likely be reduced from 29 to 15 units. Orders with Keppel and SMM appear to be fully maintained. Sete Brasil showed plans to renegotiate up to US$4.5b of debt, including US$1.2b in late payments owed to shipyards. Our top stock picks remain SCI, Ezion Holdings and Triyards. Maintain MARKET WEIGHT. WHAT’S NEW • A turning point for the oily mess in Brazil? Upstream and Brazilian news Valor Econômico have reported that Sete Brasil's restructuring plan - presented last Thursday – has received shareholders’ approval. Details are not yet public. Reports indicate that Sete Brasil’s rig building programme will most likely be reduced from 29 to 15 units. Orders with Keppel Corp (Keppel) and Sembcorp Marine (SMM) will be fully maintained. Sete Brasil showed plans to renegotiate up to US$4.5b of debt, including US$1.2b in late payments owed to shipyards. These plans have yet to be presented to creditors. Details are sketchy, but Banco de Brasil (Brazil’s largest state-owned bank) and Caixa Econômico Federal (Brazil’s second-largest state-owned bank) are expected to grant additional funding. Valor Econômico further stated that China Development Bank and Japan Bank for International Cooperation might step in for financing. • Shipyards have slowed rig construction. This is evidenced from the schedules of percentage completions released by Sete Brasil. Between Dec 14 and Mar 15, three of the five yards (BrasFELS, Jurong, Enseada, EAS and ERG) building rigs for Sete Brasil have slowed their construction to a trickle. During this period, Keppel and Enseada were still actively building their rigs. Keppel completed 6.5%, 7.6% and 4.3% of three semisubmersible rigs (the Frade, Bracuhy and Portogalo semis) while Enseada completed 13.6% and 7.6% of two rigs (Ondina and Pituba drillships) respectively. SMM’s Jurong Shipyard Aracruz in Brazil has slowed its rig building. • Brazil is a sizeable earnings contributor to SMM. A quarter of our projected 2016 net profit is from its drillships for Sete Brasil while a smaller 9% of Keppel’s projected 2016 earnings are from Brazil. More importantly, SMM has invested about S$1b on its new yard in Brazil. A solution to Sete Brasil’s financial gridlock would be a major positive for both the Singapore rig builders. • In the meantime, the global oil & gas industry is still headed south. Thus far ytd, Keppel has won only S$500m (2014: S$5.5b, 2013: S$7.0b, 2012: S$9.9b) of new contracts. SMM has won only one contract of S$56m (2014: S$4.2b, 2013: S$4.0b, 2012: S$11.0b), but it has secured a Letter of Intent (LOI) to build a crane vessel (that will be the largest in the world) for Dutch heavy-lift specialist Heerema Marine Contractors. According to Upstream, industry sources have estimated the total cost at “upwards of US$1b”. SMM expects to firm up the contract for this vessel in 2015.

ACTION • A major positive. A turning point in the Brazilian saga would be a major positive for Keppel and SMM. However, both groups still need to ride through the current downturn of the global O&G industry. Our top stock picks in the Singapore offshore & marine (O&M) sector remain Sembcorp Industries (SCI), Ezion and Triyards. ASSUMPTION CHANGES / CATALYSTS / RISKS • Maintain stock recommendations. Our target price revisions using a 1-year forward P/B methodology are shown below. The key risks in the entire sector are: a) protracted low oil prices, and b) another fall in oil prices. Both could cause oil companies to have another round of spending cuts.
