ISOTeam's FY14 PATMI of SGD6.1m beat our earnings estimates by 43%, representing c.100% y-o-y growth (excluding one-off disposal gains in FY13). Growth outlook remains strong as R&R and A&A segment growth may be driven by government initiatives to rejuvenate mature housing estates and refurbish schools. We raise PATMI estimates for FY15F/16F by 33%/43%. Maintain BUY with raised DCFbased TP of SGD0.77.
Solid FY14 performance. ISOTeam delivered a record SGD69.9m in revenue and SGD6.1m in PATMI, which represent 44.8% and c.100% y o-y growth (excluding one-off disposal gains in FY13). PATMI outperformed our initial earnings estimates of SGD4.2m by 43%. The strong performance was mainly driven by the strong Repairs and Redecoration (R&R) segment, which grew 83.2% y-o-y. Overall gross margins improved to 19.3% in FY14 from 17.0% in FY13, as ISOTeam reaped greater economies of scale from a larger R&R segment. DPS of SGD0.01 was declared, representing a 2.1% yield.
Robust outlook for R&R and Addition and Alteration (A&A)segments. Management said the R&R industry for public projects may grow 30% annually on the back of rules stating that the external walls of buildings be repainted at least once in five years. Outlook for the A&A segment is also picking up, driven by government initiatives to rejuvenate mature housing estates and refurbish schools. The company's orderbook as at June stood at SGD73.2m. It said it may win SGD39.8m worth of jobs as it was the lowest tenderer for these projects.
Raising earnings estimates on strong execution and business outlook. We raise our PATMI estimates for FY15F/16F by 33%/43% to SGD6.7m and SGD8.5m and forecast R&R/A&A revenue growth at c.25%/10%, with gross margins of c.21%/13%.
