Triyards acquired Strategic Marine, a shipbuilding & fabrication company, for A$23.3m in late October. The acquisition will allow Triyards to tap on geographically bigger market for growth as well as diversifying their business capabilities in the future. Investment Merits

Front-runners in SEA – they are the market leader and one of the very few shipyards in SEA capable of building highly sophisticated and advanced liftboats and OSVs.

A solid track record in building specialized OSVs and SEUs – has built one of the world’s largest liftboat (BH450) and also world’s largest offshore support vessel (Lewek Constellation).

Venturing out to Global markets – planning to tap into the Middle Eastern and West African markets to increase their geographical reach.

Experienced management team – combined experience of at least 100 years in the offshore marine industry.

Value Synergies from new acquisition – will help them leverage on diverse clientele base of Strategic Marine plus the close proximity of the two Vungtau-Vietnam yards will help expand their production capabilities.

Designed their own drilling rig TDU-400 – Aggressively marketing TDU-400 jack-up rig and any contract would bring around US$200m of revenues to the company.

Orderbook remains strong – Estimated net orderbook stands at around US$325 million as of Q1 FY2015.

Investment Action We are positive on Triyards for being the market leader in building advanced SEUs and OSVs. Demand of SEUs will remain intact despite falling oil prices. Falling oil prices will reduce the incentive for deep/ultra-water exploration and production, while at the same time increase incentive for shallow water oil production – where SEUs are used. In addition the offshore infrastructure and platforms in such fields are aging, and the need for maintenance and servicing would eventually drive up demand for SEUs, as they provide the cheapest way to service such production platforms. On that basis we initiate our coverage on Triyards with a "Buy" rating, in view of its investment merits and solid growth potential. Taking a deep discount of more than 30% to its peer’ average of 10.6x we get 7.0x Forward PE. Applying that to 14c FY15F EPS (post-acquisition adjusted in SGD cents), we value Triyards at S$0.98. This implies at least 50% upside from the last closing price.

Financial Result and Highlights Softer Result for the FY2014 Triyard’s revenue declined in the FY14 to US$269m (-2.4% YoY). The decrease in revenue was due to the lower revenue recognition from the last stage completion of the subsea construction vessel, Lewek Constellation, and lower than expected contract wins. Revenue recognition of vessels are done under the percentage of completion method and around 80% of it is usually recognized in the middle stage of construction while the initial and last (sea trial) only recognizes 10% each. Net Profit declined to US$27m (-15.2% YoY) while the Gross Profit improved to US$52m with Gross margin at 19.3%. The difference in YoY change of the Net and Gross Margins was mainly due to higher administration cost and the increased in the effective tax rate. Higher admistrative cost was due to the increased effort to market their product in the international market while the increased taxes are due to the reduction in tax incentives under the Vietnam’s investment scheme. Source: PSR

Triyards generated -US$5.46m of Free Cash Flow from increased working capital and capex needs. Net Gearing remains stable although at higher levels of around 51%. But around 94% of these borrowings are related to working capital requirements and in form of short term bank term loans. Source: PSR

Orderbook Is expected to grow further Triyards orderbook stands at around US$325m providing a solid visibility for next 18-22 months. The current backlog includes 6-7 SEUs at different stages of completion and at least 1 OSV at the intial stage of completion. Taking the percentage of completion estimation into account we believe that around 2/3 of this orderbook will be recognized in the FY2015. We also estimate that around 1-2 more contracts could be added considering the healthy tendering activity and that around 6 more contracts are under management negotiation. Taking a very conservative approach we did not include any potential contract win for its TDU-400 Jack-up Rig that could significantly increase the Revenue assuming a price of US$200m/unit. Earnings Forecast Based on the orderbook estimation plus taking into account the contribution from its new acquisition of Strategic Marine, we estimate the Net Profit for the FY2015 to increase by 34.5% to US$36m. we also estimate the Net Margins to increase in FY2015 to 12.1% (pre-acquisition).

With the availability of skilled labor, exclusive designs, engineering capabilities and strategically located yards, Triyards focus more towards the sophisticated vessel construction. The group has a strategic focus on the construction of advanced self-elevating units (SEUs) with its exclusive designs. The group has delivered seven SEUs since 2007. The Group's new building capabilities include the ability to build technologically advanced construction vessels (OSCVs) and offshore support vessels (OSVs). The Group also completed the construction of the Lewek Constellation, an ice-class, deepwater multi-lay vessel with 3,000 MT heavy-lift capability that is among the most advanced construction and pipelay vessels globally in its class, which was delivered in FY2014. The Lewek Constellation was also the largest ship hull to be launched into the water by airbags in the world. Some of their sophisticated, popular and state of the art SEUs model include BH 300-L4T, BH335, BH336 L4P, BH450. Rig Building Triyards expertize in the niche sector in SEUs and sophisticated new builds has spurred the Group to expand its business line to become one of only three Singapore yards able to design and build its own proprietary drilling jack-ups with the introduction of the new Premium Class 400 HPHT (high pressure, high temperature), the TDU-400. The TDU-400 is designed to capitalize on the most advanced drilling systems and equipment available today. Designed to be 'lighter weight' without compromising operating performance, the TDU-400 is competitively priced and will help Triyards diversify their vessel making ability to a whole new level. Offshore Engineering, Construction and Fabrication In addition to the new build and repair related scopes of work, Triyards expertize also extends to customizing of onshore and offshore fabrication work. Since 2005, the Group specialized in medium to heavy industrial works, ranging from steel fabrication to electrical installation right through to equipment manufacturing services. The scope of services also entails offshore engineering construction of equipment such as modules for FPSO (floating production, storage and offloading) vessels, platform jackets, catenary anchor leg mooring (CALM) buoys, heavy-duty offshore crane structures and large A-frames. Ship Repair, Maintenance and Conversion With fully equipped facilities and a highly qualified work force, the three Vietnam yards focus on afloat ship repaired projects and up slip - dry docking projects. With their highly experienced team, they have the ability to handle a variety of repair and conversion works, not restricting to machinery and electric requirements. Being the only yard in Vietnam with a dock pit and situated along the South China Sea further enhances their competitiveness.

Overview of SEUs market SEU’s (Self-elevating unit) A Self Elevating Unit (‘‘SEU’’) is an offshore service platform with large open deck space, jack-up legs, cranes and living quarters that can be utilized to perform a broad spectrum of services for the oil and gas and renewable sectors throughout the offshore energy lifecycle. The SEU jacks up next to offshore oil and gas platforms and can be used for various purposes. These services include repairs and maintenance of production platforms, well servicing, well intervention activities and temporary housing. SEUs are designed to cater to a range of offshore assets and equipment such as drilling products and to support inspection, maintenance, repair, diving and construction activities. SEUs are mostly suitable for shallow water and the operating depth varies between 20-100+ meters. Global demand for SEU considering falling Oil Prices High fluctuations in the level of oil and gas prices can significantly affect a companies’ capital expenditures on exploration, development and drilling activity, but the operating expenditures are usually more resilient to oil price fluctuations. Operating expenditure includes spending related to well intervention, maintenance, logistics, supply, and repair work on installations during the production and development phase of the field lifecycle, each of which are important in maintaining production and therefore tend to be relatively stable compare to the exploration activities even during the low times. We believe that the demand for SEUs will remain stable, if not increase, due to the following reasons:

Shallow water offshore fields remains a major source of oil production and with the enhancement in technology and recovery methods, the demand of SEUs for such field will remain high due to lower production cost than deep and ultra-deep water alternatives especially now when oil prices are taking free-fall;

Ageing offshore infrastructure and platforms in developed shallow water regions requires extensive maintenance and upgrading in order to maintain production; and SEUs can provide the cheapest method to service such platforms.

Growing need for maintenance of offshore renewables especially in the North Sea, where SEUs are a cost effective solution.

Increased in supply of oil due to shale oil will reduce the capex in the deep to ultra-water fields which will pave way for more capex for the servicing of the existing shallow water fields.

Growth Prospects of SEUs Until recently liftboats were mainly used in oil & gas market in the Gulf of Mexico where they were mostly deployed for shallow water jobs due to their lower down time and stable elevated work platform. But now such self-elevating and self-propelling state-of-the-art vessels are gaining foothold among key operators in other parts of the world. Southeast Asian market has remained the most underpenetrated market in terms of the number of liftboats available per platform. According to research data found on Triyards Prospectus, the ratio of SEUs to platforms in North America works out to be 1:14 whereas in South-east Asia, the Middle East and West Africa, it stands at 1:60

Another study done by Douglas Westwood (Source: GMS Prospectus) suggests that the ratio of liftboats to platforms in Southeast Asia is 1:215 while a similar study by Infield Systems (Source: GMS Prospectus) suggested that the same ratio is 1:1680.

Source: Douglas Westwood, Gulf Marine Services Prospectus According to Douglas-Westwood report (Source: GMS Prospectus), demand of SEUs in Southeast Asia, is expected to increase by 8.5%, driven by well intervention and EOR requirements. Accordingly, new vessels will be required to enter the region to satisfy demand. In the MENA region numerous vessels are unsuited to the requirements of well intervention work, further compounding the under-supply of vessels in the region. In Northwest Europe, vessel demand in the oil and gas sector is expected to recover, with any spare capacity being absorbed by 2016. There is a case for new vessels to enter the region, either through the spot market or via new-builds. In West Africa, demand is expected to exceed vessel supply from 2015 to 2020, driven by well intervention and topside O&M. Currently, 11 out of 30 vessels in West Africa are unable to access 66% of platforms due to water depth restrictions, according to Douglas-Westwood Ltd. Report (Source: GMS Prospectus). SEUs can be used in the region to perform many activities:

Well Intervention – consists of services (coiled tubing, pumping, workover, subsea landing string and other services) to maintain production levels in the primary and secondary phases of production.

Inspection/Repair/Maintenance (O&M) – consists of the maintenance, modification and operation of platforms during the production phase of the offshore field lifecycle.

Construction support – is principally driven by green-field installations of oil and gas and wind production platforms.

EOR – consists of the injection of foreign components (e.g., chemicals) to recover a larger proportion of the remaining oil at the final stages of the field life (i.e., the tertiary phase of production).

Decommissioning – as offshore O&G fields approach their end-of-life it becomes necessary to decommission the associated infrastructure and SEUs provide a relatively inexpensive option for that.

Page | 9

Well intervention and Inspection/Repair/Maintenance in the MENA region, North Sea and Southeast Asia are expected to remain the largest markets for SEUs due to operators seeking to maintain production profiles plus an ageing platform population, while EOR (Enhanced Oil Recovery) is forecasted to be the catalyst for an upside beyond 2020 as field lives are extended. The addressable vessel demand days are forecasted to grow by 12,141 to 41,386 from 2013 to 2020, presenting a CAGR of 5.1 per cent.

Source: Douglas Westwood, Gulf Marine Services Prospectus Extremely low penetration rate in MENA and Southeast Asia implies vast opportunities for growth. We firmly believe that the penetration rate for such highly advanced SEUs will increase in future due to cost efficiency reasons and that will drive the growth of SEUs in these markets. The Capex within the shallow water region still remains significantly higher than the deeper waters. And now with the plunging oil prices it will further shift to shallow water as the production cost is cheaper, which further strengthens our base case.

Investment Highlight Definite edge of Triyards in SEUs Triyards strategic focus has remained to be the construction of the self-elevating units (SEUs). It has remained to be a definitive market leader in the Southeast Asian region, with capabilities of building sophisticated and customized SEUs for their client. The group has delivered seven SEUs so far since its inception and has established a significant track record with its advanced newly-designed self-elevating units for use in deeper water that can work in depth of up to 105m. Triyards also retains the honor of building the world’s largest liftboat in its Vungtau Shipyard, Vietnam. The state-of-the-art vessel is a 3-legged, self-propelled, self-elevating general service workboat, known under the name of BH-450 model, and is suitable for operation involving harsher conditions such as in the North Sea. It is an ABS classed with Unrestricted Service and carries a Wind Farm Installation Maintenance and Repair Certification. A unique feature of this vessel is its easy deployment. Unlike other vessels of its size range, this Mobile Offshore Unit has no rack chocks. After delivering this unit, Triyards has already been awarded contracts for the same model BH450 but with variations to cater the specific needs of their client. Strategic location in Vietnam Triyards shipbuilding yards in Vietnam are located within a major shipbuilding cluster, strategically located along the South China Sea. Their shipyard facilities have sheltered fabrication facilities to allow for all year round production in all weather conditions. Their shipyard facilities in Vietnam are also able to benefit from a skilled labor force, including naval architects and engineers, with higher production efficiency, and local government support for the shipbuilding industry. They also benefit from access to lower cost labor. Plus close proximity of their newly acquired shipyard, Strategic Marine, adds more space to the existing facility where engineering and fabrication work can be further synergized with no need for long distance transportation. The two yards in the Vungtau city can be seen on the right-hand-side adding the total facility size to 281,600 sqm. Proven Track record to build highly advanced construction and OSVs Strategic location of shipyards, extensively experienced Management, and their highly trained and skilled labor has provided them a platform to design and engineer technologically advanced vessels for both construction and offshore support. They recently delivered the world’s largest OSV, Lewek Constellation, an ice-class, deepwater multi-lay vessel with 3,000 MT heavylift capability that is among the most advanced construction and pipelay vessels globally in its class. Triyards has also a proven track record in building technologically advanced, high-specification and customized offshore support vessels such as ATS and PSVs, that are larger and more sophisticated in terms of their engine capacity, bollard pull and navigational equipment. They have collaborated with reputable international ship designers to come up with vessel prototypes and have worked with reputable universities to carry out model testing for their vessels. The Group’s ability to design and fabricate offshore equipment such as offshore cranes, winches and A-frames and other offshore equipment installed on offshore vessels, will help them offer cost-effective solutions and timely delivery for their projects. We believe that with high level of expertise and customization capabilities in constructing technologically advanced vessels, and the track record in managing construction and delivery schedules, Triyards is well positioned to remian the market leader in Southest Asia.

Synergies with Ezra Ezra currently holds around 67% of stake of the ordinary share capital. The Ezra Group is a major global offshore contractor and provider of integrated offshore solutions to the oil & gas industry. Triyards stands a good chance of realizing synergies as a part of Ezra Group, which will allow them to tap into Ezra’s clientele base as well. Plus any project work taken by Ezra could also be awarded directly to Triyards. They have already built number of OSVs and SEUs to date for them and have also undertaken projects to fabricate and install certain offshore equipment. Both companies can also collaborate in providing expertize and insight into prevailing trends in the offshore oil and gas and related shipbuilding industries. Expand production capabilities Triyards management is looking to diversify its business by focusing on ship repair operations and expanding its crane making segment to cater 3rd party clients, which are higher margin businesses . The Group is also looking to expand in the jack-up rig building segment as well. Triyards has already design their own proprietary drilling jack-up, TDU-400, with a new Premium Class 400 HPHT (high pressure, high temperature). The TDU-400 is designed to capitalize on the most advanced drilling systems and equipment available today. It can also be quickly customized to meet the distinct needs of different clients without having to be continuously redesigned, thus avoiding the costs associated with such variation orders. Triyards has already started marketing this product aggressively and any contract would open a new stream of revenue. Establishing presence in new market Triyards Management is also strategically expanding their operational prescence globally into major offshore oil & gas markets. The group believes that Australia is experiencing strong growth and foresee that there will be strong demand for offshore platform structures such as jackets and topsides in that market as well. Another such market into which they are considering expanding is the MIddle Eastern market. The penetration rate is too low for this market and with ageing platforms needing more repair, services and maintenance work would help the demand for SEUs to increase. Their prescence in such market will definitely help them win more contracts. Most importanly having to compete in those market with big players such as GMS and Lamprell will also help them to learn and develop even more efficient and cost effective ways. Synergies from new acquisition Triyards acquired Strategic Marine back in October 2014. The intension was to diversify their product categories so as not to be overly reliant on the offshore oil & gas industry. Strategic Marine expertise lies more in construction and fabrication of high-speed aluminum-based vessels such as the patrol boats, harbor and towage vessels, passenger vessels, commercial fishing boats, floating docks, utility vessels, military and paramilitary vessels. The new acquisition has capabilities to do ship repairs and a global clientele base that Triyards can leverage on. As mentioned earlier, the close proximity of the two shipyards in Vungtau, Vietnam will help them take bigger projects lowering the cost of transportation between the two yards. The two yards have already worked together previously in many projects such as in the building of Lewek Constellation and so merging the operations would not be a hectic task.

Key Risk: Rising competition expected in liftboat market Triyards faces emerging competititon from other local and international construction services and marine services companies especially those already established in the Gulf of Mexico such as the Halimar Shipyard. Competitive factors include price, quality, availability and technology in vessel building. Some of Triyards global competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources which might be in a better position to expand their market share. However we believe that Triyards reputation within Southeast Asian market and its strategic synergy from Ezra will help retain its market share in SEA. Barriers to entry facing new entrants include: significant asset cost involved, rigorous operational standards and oversight done by 3rd parties, a strong proven track record, stringent government compliances, highly sophisticated technical requirements and highly expertized management and labor force. Based on that we believe that the major competition within this industry would remain between the major SEUs players. We reckon that Triyards would be able to not only hold a leading position in SEA but also capture more markets capturing more market share in other regional markets.

Peers Review We consider Triyards specialty to be in building SEUs, which is their core business generating most of its revenue stream. The SEU construction market has been dominated by a handful of key players since 2005. In total, only 15 yards have been involved in the construction and repair of SEUs. On the global level Halimar Shipyard LLC on the Gulf of Mexico coast has constructed the most number of SEUs but mostly all deployed within the same region as well. Outside U.S., the most reputable constructors include GMS, Lamprell and Triyards, where GMS and Lamprell are mostly active in the Middle Eastern region while Triyards takes the market share in the Southeast Asian region. Almost all of GMS contracts have been awarded internally and it is believed that they do not construct SEUs for 3rd parties and only perform repair and upgrading work. Triyards on the other hand has established itself as the leading constructor of SEUs outside of the US and Middle East and has managed to expand its clientele base. As many of the SEU builders such as Halimar Shipyard and Bollinger Shipyard are still privately owned companies, with little or no data available about their financials. Thus, for valuation purposes we chose to review only three public listed companies involved in SEUs building business as stated below. Conrad Industries - specializes in the construction, conversion and repair of a wide variety of marine vessels for commercial and governmental customers and the fabrication of modular components of offshore drilling rigs and floating, production, storage and offloading vessels. Conrad operates shipyards along the Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Texas. The company currently operates four shipyards in South Louisiana and Texas with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. With over 12 Construction and Repair buildings totaling over 230,000 sq./ft. and 6 ABS classed dry-docks, Conrad is able to provide 24/7 service to its shallow and deepwater customers. Lamprell PLC - provides diversified engineering, construction, and contracting services to the onshore and offshore oil and gas, and renewable energy industries in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. The company is engaged in the design and construction of new build jackup drilling rigs; various offshore vessels and structures; and process modules for floating production, storage and offloading units, floating storage and regasification units, tender assist drilling barges, mobile offshore production units, liftboats, offshore drilling rig components and accessories, living quarters, turrets, and other offshore fixed structures. It also offers rig refurbishment services; engineering and construction services; and land rig services for various projects and services related to onshore drilling rigs, oilfield service companies, and drilling equipment refurbishment for land and offshore rigs. Lamprell plc was founded in 1974 and is based in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. Lamprell employs approximately 10,000 people across multiple facilities, with its primary facilities located in Hamriyah, Sharjah, and Jebel Ali, all of which are in the UAE. In addition, the Group has facilities in Saudi Arabia (through a joint venture agreement) and Kuwait. Combined, the Group's facilities cover approximately 910,000 m2 with 2.2 km of quayside.

Gulf Marine Services PLC - was founded in Abu Dhabi, UAE, in 1977 and has

become the largest provider of self-propelled, self-elevating accommodation

jackup barges in the Middle East, and one of the largest worldwide. GMS is listed

on the London Stock Exchange. GMS’ assets provide the stable platform for

delivery of a wide range of services throughout the total lifecycle of offshore oil,

gas and renewable energy activities, and are capable of operations in the Middle

East, South East Asia, West Africa and Europe. The company constructs and

maintains its vessels at its yard in Abu Dhabi and has an extensive new build and

replacement programme, including the construction of the harsh weather

environment Gusto NG2500X DPII ESVs. As a result, GMS has the youngest and

most sophisticated fleet in the industry, which it operates from its offices in Abu

Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. Source: Infield Systems Ltd, Company Prospectus

Valuation Source: PSR

Triyards currently trades at a forward PE of 5.2x and a forward EPS of 14c (SGD cents), which is way below from what its Peers are trading at. Currently three of its main competitors (Conrad, Lamprell and GMS) are trading at an average Fw PE of 8.4x. Other small/mid-sized shipyards listed on the SGX trade at an average Fw PE of 11.7x. While SPDR S&P Oil, Gas & Equipment Services ETF, which tracks the performance of the Oil, Gas & Equipment Services sector is trading at Fw PE of 13.1. As the main competitors are listed outside Singapore with different market risk premiums, we decided to take an average of all Peers, small/mid-sized shipyards, and the SPDR ETF to come to an average Fw PE of 10.61. To be even more conservative considering lower oil prices, we used a ~30% discount to the average Fw PE of 10.61x to come to 7x. This results in a fair value estimate of S$0.98. We initiate our coverage on Triyards with a BUY call with more than 50% upside potential. The sensitivity analysis below shows the effect of choosing different PE ratio to the target price.
