Swiber was barely profitable in 2Q14. Its 2Q14 core profit of US$1.1m was below our expected US$3m. Weak gross margin, a dwindling order book, and high interest and admin costs continued to plague its operations, resulting in a negative EBITDA in 1H14. Its 2Q14 reported profit of US$10m was boosted by US$4m gains from the sale of JV and associate. We slash our FY14 EPS forecast by 50% as we doubt a strong recovery will take place in 2H14.
