Our THB26.00 TP offers a 42% upside. We initiate coverage with a BUY. High backlog to support FY13/FY14 earnings growth. STPI had a total backlog of THB23bn at end-1QFY13, comprising two module projects worth THB22bn Queensland Curtis and Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and an Australia Pacific piping project worth THB773m. Of the total backlog, we expect the company to realise around THB6.5bn in 2HFY13 and THB10.1bn in 2014, which should lead to robust y-o-y earnings growth of 98% for FY13 and 8% for FY14. Potential projects. The company is currently bidding for new projects worth some THB50bn, including the Woodside Pluto LNG projects in Australia worth THB20bn, a THB10bn LNG project in Russia and a THB10bn LNG project in Mozambique. The bidding results for these projects are expected to be announced between 4QFY13 and 2QFY14. These projects, if successfully secured, will support STPI’s FY15 earnings, post the completion of the Ichthys project. Attractive margins. STPI is Thailand’s biggest exporter of fabricated steel structures. The industry has high barriers of entry with few players, as new entrants are required to have assembly yards by the sea. Currently, STPI has a higher gross margin of 35% vs the industry average of 10%. We expect the company’s gross margin to be maintained at 35% this year, but decline to around 28% in FY14, after the Australia Pacific piping project which has a higher margin than module projects is completed this year.

STP&I PCL (STPI) fabricates steel for use in construction and civil works such as seaports, bridges, roads, highways and industrial plants. Recently, it started focusing more on the international market by pushing exports of pre-fabricated structural steels and modules. We project 2013-2014 earnings growth at 98%/8% respectively. Our THB26.00 TP offers a 42% upside. We initiate coverage with a BUY.

High backlog to support FY13/FY14 earnings growth. STPI had a

total backlog of THB23bn at end-1QFY13, comprising two module projects worth THB22bn – Queensland Curtis and Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects – and an Australia Pacific piping project worth THB773m. Of the total backlog, we expect the company to realise around THB6.5bn in 2HFY13 and THB10.1bn in 2014, which should lead to robust y-o-y earnings growth of 98% for FY13 and 8% for FY14.

Potential projects. The company is currently bidding for new projects

worth some THB50bn, including the Woodside Pluto LNG projects in Australia worth THB20bn, a THB10bn LNG project in Russia and a THB10bn LNG project in Mozambique. The bidding results for these projects are expected to be announced between 4QFY13 and 2QFY14. These projects, if successfully secured, will support STPI’s FY15 earnings, post the completion of the Ichthys project.

Attractive margins. STPI is Thailand’s biggest exporter of fabricated

steel structures. The industry has high barriers of entry with few players, as new entrants are required to have assembly yards by the sea. Currently, STPI has a higher gross margin of 35% vs the industry average of 10%. We expect the company’s gross margin to be maintained at 35% this year, but decline to around 28% in FY14, after the Australia Pacific piping project – which has a higher margin than module projects – is completed this year.

Leader In Modular Fabrication Core business. STPI’s core business can be categorised into three groups, namely:

i) engineering services, ii) fabrication, and iii) construction. The company provides engineering services in designing steel-to-steel connections, shop drawing for steel structures, and piping and erection works by various specialised softwares. It also provides fabrication services and has the capability to fabricate steels and pipes in its workshops, which are equipped with state-of-the-art machines and equipment. Lastly, STPI’s construction works include assembly, mechanical equipment installation and erection for various manufacturing plants.

Fabrication products. The fabrication business accounted for around 80% of total

revenue in 2012. Specifically, the fabrication business can be categorised into four major groups, namely:

i) Steel structure fabrication. STPI constructs steel structures for heavy industrial and infrastructure systems such as power plant refineries, petrochemical plants, airport terminals, bridges, and elevated roads.

ii) Piping fabrication. STPI has high expertise in piping fabrication which includes piping pre-fabrication, piping erection, and pipeline construction. The spoon fabrication is carried out in STPI’s facilities, after which the semi-completed products are transported to the project sites for installation. These pipes are essential parts in the production process of industrial plants such as power plants, oil refineries, and petrochemical plants.

iii) Process module. STPI expands its business to process module assembly. A module is a large system structure comprising steel structures, piping system, boilers, pressure vessels, machineries, electrical system and controlling system. Modules are mostly used in offshore construction such as oil and gas platforms, or in large projects with limited working area or labour/time constraints. Note that process module represents a large part of the company’s total revenue, accounting for 70% of total revenue in 2012.

4) Other fabrication steel. STPI provides other fabrication steels such as pressure vessel works including drums, reactors, columns, splitter towers, and stream drums. The company also designs spherical tanks and large diameter storage tanks under various standards, which are used for storing liquids or gas in refineries, as well as in the production process of power plants and petrochemical plants.

Competition in the industry. Competition in the steel fabrication industry is

relatively low as the energy and petrochemical industries are growing rapidly, giving rise to a large amount of fabrication works. Currently, there are only seven key local competitors in the industry. Competition is limited due to the high imported raw material costs and the high standards set by the Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI). Domestically, STPI has a 20%-25% share in the steel structure market, with Thai Herrick Company Limited, Eurotech Engineering International Company Limited, and Vatana Phaisal Engineering Company Limited as its major competitors. In the modular fabrication industry, STPI only has three major competitors, namely Thai Nippon Steel Engineering and Construction Company Limited, Clutch Thailand Company Limited, and CULE Company Limited.

Growing demand for LNG. Major risk for STPI is fluctuations in total revenue, which

largely depends on the company’s ability to secure new projects. To address this issue, STPI is focusing on modular fabrication for LNG plants, which are seeing surging global demand as LNG is one of the world’s most important energy sources. Demand for natural gas is expected to increase in the coming decades as developing economies continue to grow while the West uses more of the fuel. As at-2012, Asia accounted for 71% of global LGN demand, with Japan and South Korea being the major consumers. Going forward, we expect Japan to continue to be a major LNG consumer as it switched from nuclear to gas energy after the Fukushima disaster. However, LNG demand in Europe is expected to decline slightly over the next few years due to the prolonged Eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Specifically, global demand and supply of LNG are expected to grow 48% and 80% y-o-y respectively to 370 and 470 million tonnes per year by 2020, from 250 and 260 million tonnes per year in 2012. Hence, we expect STPI – a leading modular fabricator in the region – to be the major beneficiary of the global LNG boom.

Sufficient capital for future expansion. As at end-1QFY13, STPI stood in a net

cash position, with cash and short-term investments at THB4.5bn. The company expects to spend around THB1bn on new machineries and plant relocation to boost its steel production capacity from 50,000 tonnes to 60,000 tonnes by year-end. We are confident of the company’s ability to finance the expansion without raising its capital. Hence, we see minimal financial risk for STPI.

Par split to increase trading volume. STPI recently split its par value from THB1.00

to THB0.25 in August, leading to an increase in total number of share outstanding from 371m shares to 1,484m shares. The par split is expected to increase the trading liquidity of the company’s shares as the share price has become affordable for small retail investors. That said, we believe the par split will not have any significant impact on STPI’s fundamentals.

Robust 1Q13 results. STPI reported a 219% y-o-y jump in 1QFY13 net income

toTHB425m, while its total revenue soared by 143% y-o-y as the company started realising revenue from the Ichthy project. In addition, gross profit margin improved to 37.5% in 1QFY13 from 23.5% in 1QFY12, on the back of revenue recognition from the Australia Pacific project, which has a higher margin compared to its other projects.

Initiate with BUY. We initiate coverage on STPI with a BUY recommendation and a

THB26.00 TP, based on a 17.8x P/E, which is 1SD above its five-year average historical forward P/E. We believe its share price should trade at a premium due to the company’s unique expertise in modular fabrication and a huge backlog on hand, which should lend support to its 2013-2014 earnings. Note that STPI is currently trading at a 12.6x FY13 P/E, which is a 30% discount to the industry average of 18x.
