SIA Engineering (SIE SP)
1QFY23: Results In Line; Profitable Even Without Government Support

1QFY23 marks the first quarter that SIAEC returns to positive core profitability excluding government support. 1QFY23 ex-relief core net profit of S$4.2m is a good start and we expect SIAEC’s profitability to continue to improve for the rest of FY23, driven by the rising flight activities at Changi Airport. With the positive core profitability and SIAEC’s strong balance sheet, we expect a meaningful recovery in dividend payment in FY23. Maintain BUY and unchanged target price of S$2.70.

Strong execution

Beat on solid momentum and margins
1H22 PATMI of SGD42.8m (+45.7% YoY) was ahead of our and street estimates, at c.50% of full year (1H typically accounts for c.40%). We raise FY22E EPS by 5% to reflect order book update and better than expected margins. Maintain BUY as near term demand outlook appears more resilient than we anticipated, while components shortages are easing. TP rises to SGD1.39 as we roll forward to 10x FY23E P/E. Key risk is if FY23 growth disappoints.
