SINGAPORE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial services sector. The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 15.1% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports, before slowing to in 2011-13, largely a result of soft demand for exports during the second European recession. Over the longer term, the government hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity. Singapore has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology production and will continue efforts to establish Singapore as Southeast Asia's financial and high-tech hub.

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

]

Return on Net Assets

:

[

11.78%

]

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players. The Subject's management have been efficient in controlling its operating costs. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds could indicate that the Subject was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

[

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

172 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

114 Days

]

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The Subject's debtors ratio was high. The Subject should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the Subject taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Favourable

[

1.16 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.28 Times

]

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the Subject in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the Subject was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the Subject is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

11.66 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.36 Times

]

The interest cover showed that the Subject was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the Subject was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The Subject was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The Subject was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the Subject being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment :

Although the turnover was erratic, the Subject had maintained a steady growth in its profit. This indicate the management's efficiency in controlling its costs and profitability. The Subject was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the Subject should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the Subject could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The Subject as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : FAIR

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

CONSTRUCTION

For the whole of 2013, the sector expanded by 5.9%, slower than the growth of 8.6% in the previous year. Total construction output increased by 5.4% on the back of robust private and public residential building activities. Besides, total construction demand increased by 17% to $36 billion in 2013, setting a new record high. The increase was driven by robust construction demand from the public sector.

Public sector construction demand rose by 56% to $15 billion in 2013. The increase was supported by a ramp-up of public-housing developments and significant increase in civil engineering construction demand on account of the award of various Thomson MRT Line contracts. Besides, despite a slight drop of 1.1%, total private sector construction demand remained relatively strong at $21 billion. Demand was fuelled by residential developments, where contracts awarded increased by 15% to reach $9.8 billion in 2013, the highest on record. Besides, civil engineering construction demand contracted by 45% due to the high base in 2012. However, the value of civil engineering contracts awarded in 2013 was still higher than that achieved between 2009 and 2011, supported largely by the construction of major utilities and berth facilities.

In 2013, construction output has increased by 5.4% to reach $33 billion, surpassing the previous peak of $32 billion in 2012. Growth was underpinned by strong on-site construction activities for public and private residential, private industrial and civil engineering developments. Total construction output in 2014 is projected to rise to between $34 billion and $36 billion, supported by record high levels of contracts awarded in 2013 and continued robust on-site activities from the high levels of demand since 2011.

Public sector construction output reached $12 billion in 2013, comparable to that achieved in 2012, supported largely by an increase in onsite construction activities for public housing (18%) and institutional and other building (4.7%) projects. Some of the major institutional building projects under construction included the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) Campus Phase 1, Ng Teng Fong Hospital, National Heart Centre, National Art Gallery and Victoria Concert Hall. Additionally, even though civil engineering construction output has contracted by 9.6% in 2013, progress payments remained robust at $4.8 billion, supported by new rail construction such as the Downtown Line Stages 2 & 3 as well as other infrastructure projects like Tuas West Extension and Marina Coastal Expressway.

Private sector construction output expanded by 8.3% to $21 billion in 2013, underpinned by growth across all development types. In particular, robust growth in on-site construction activities for residential developments (13%) and civil engineering (14%) projects supported overall output growth.

BCA forecasts total construction demand in 2014 to be between $31 billion and $38 billion. Demand from the public sector is expected to strengthen to between $19 billion and $22 billion, contributing close to 60% of projected total construction demand. The boost to overall demand is likely to come from stronger institutional and civil engineering construction works. At the same time, private sector demand is projected to soften to between $12 billion and $16 billion, due to the anticipated reduction in residential construction demand as property market sentiments remain subdued following the various property cooling measures.

Furthermore, BMI continues to expect construction and infrastructure growth in Singapore to moderate over the 2014-2020 period. Real growth for the construction sector is forecast to slow from 5.9% in 2014 to3.0% in 2019, while real growth for the infrastructure sector is expected to fall from 12.7% in 2014 to 4.0%in 2019. This moderation is primarily due to declining housing demand, longer construction periods for planned infrastructure projects and a poor export outlook, which could curb investment in non-residential buildings.

In September 2014, Singapore's Land Transit Authority (LTA) announced that Phase 2 of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system's Downtown Line would open ahead of schedule in Q116. The project had previously been delayed by financial troubles at one of its key contractors, and was expected to come online only by Q216. Phase 2 of the Downtown Line will include 12 stations, nine of which will be completely new. The project's total cost is estimated at approximately SGD800mn.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 1998, the Subject is a Private Limited company, focusing on building construction. Having been in the industry for over a decade, the Subject has achieved a certain market share and has built up a good reputation in the market. It should have received supports from its regular customers. The Subject have a strong capital position of USD 136,507,474. We are confident with the Subject's business and its future growth prospect. Having strong support from its holding company has enabled the Subject to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment.


Over the years, the Subject has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The Subject has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. Being a moderate size company, the Subject has a total workforce of 70 employees in its business operations. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject.


We noted that both the turnover and profits have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to increase in turnover and better control over its operating costs. The Subject has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds indicating that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate return. The Subject is in good liquidity position with its current liabilities well covered by it current assets. Hence, it has sufficient working capital to meet its short term financial obligations. Being a lowly geared company, the Subject is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Given a positive net worth standing at USD 173,771,000, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


Without a strong assets backing, the Subject may face difficulties in getting loans for its future expansion and continued growth .


The poor payment habit may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Hence, the Subject is expected to benefit from the favourable outlook of the industry.


Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the Subject normally.
