Sembcorp Industries - Completes demerger of Sembcorp Marine

17 Sep 2020
  • Distribution-in-specie of the capital of Sembcorp Marine (SCM) to all Sembcorp Industries (SCI) shareholders completed.
  • Entitled SCI shareholders will have received 4.911 of SCM shares for every 1 SCI shares held, amounting to about S$0.89, based on 10 September share price.
  • We maintain our BUY recommendation with an unchanged target price of $1.75 on standalone SCI (ex. SCM).

 

Update

Following the issue of 10,462,690,870 SCM rights shares to entitled SCI shareholders on 11 September, the proposed distribution and demerger has been completed. Entitled SCI shareholders will have received their entitlement of 4.911 SCM shares for every 1 SCI share held, amounting to approximately S$0.89 (4.911 x S$0.182). We arrived at this by taking the number of SCM shares distributed for every 1 SCI shares held and multiplied this by the closing price of the SCM shares as at 10 September 2020 of S$0.182, which is the date before the distribution to SCI holders.

This means that the ex-distribution price of SCI following the distribution is approximately S$1.02 (S$1.91 – $0.89). This is arrived at by subtracting the total value of SCM shares received by SCI shareholders with the closing price of SCI on the 10 September, the date before the distribution.

In total, SCI shareholders could realise a total of $2.64/share (S$1.75 + (4.911 x S$0.182)).

 

Outlook

We are positive on the Group’s outlook. Following the deconsolidation of SCM, we think SCI will see a potential positive re-rating as the Group’s operating metrics improve in Fy21e from improving energy demand.

 

Maintain BUY with an unchanged target price of S$1.75

We maintained our BUY recommendation on SCI following the distribution-in-specie of the capital of SCM to entitled SCI shareholders. Our target price of S$1.75 for standalone SCI (ex. SCM) is pegged to a P/BV of 0.7x FY21e, which is a slight discount to their 10-year historical average equity value (ex. SCM). We expect SCI to see improved operating metrics with the Group expected to generate positive operating CF of $854mn for FY21e and return on equity of 7.6% for FY21e.

A copy of the Prospectus and PHS are available from PCM, any of its Participating Dealers (“PDs“) for the ETF, or any of its authorised distributors for the unit trust managed by PCM.  

An ETF is not like a typical unit trust as the units of the ETF (the “Units“) are to be listed and traded like any share on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). Listing on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units which may be traded at prices above or below its NAV or may be suspended or delisted. Investors may buy or sell the Units on SGX-ST when it is listed. Investors cannot create or redeem Units directly with PCM and have no rights to request PCM to redeem or purchase their Units. Creation and redemption of Units are through PDs if investors are clients of the PDs, who have no obligation to agree to create or redeem Units on behalf of any investor and may impose terms and conditions in connection with such creation or redemption orders. Please refer to the Prospectus of the ETF for more details.  

Investments are subject to investment risks including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The purchase of a unit in a fund is not the same as placing your money on deposit with a bank or deposit-taking company. There is no guarantee as to the amount of capital invested or return received. The value of the units and the income accruing to the units may fall or rise. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of the Products. There can be no assurance that investment objectives will be achieved.  

Where applicable, fund(s) may invest in financial derivatives and/or participate in securities lending and repurchase transactions for the purpose of hedging and/or efficient portfolio management, subject to the relevant regulatory requirements.

The regular dividend distributions, out of either income and/or capital, are not guaranteed and subject to PCM’s discretion. Past payout yields and payments do not represent future payout yields and payments. Such dividend distributions will reduce the available capital for reinvestment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Products.
