On 24 Dec, Petro-King issued a profit warning and proposed a rights .
0
offer to raise HKD151m. We see the profit warning as a negative 0
surprise and slash our FY14-16 earnings forecasts. We cut our TP to 0
HKD1.22 (0.7x FY15F P/BV, 0.8% upside). Maintain NEUTRAL as we
believe the negatives have been priced in, with its share price having
dropped 9% since the announcement.


Profit warning a negative surprise. Based on unaudited accounts and
confirmed orders and contracts for 2014, Petro-King Oilfield Services
(Petro-King) expects to record a net loss for FY14. This came as a
negative surprise as it is much worse than our original recurring net profit
forecasts of HKD135m (-34% YoY) for FY14 and HKD114m (-14% YoY)
for 2H14.
Rights offer raises concern over cash flow. On the same day, PetroKing proposed to raise HKD151m through a rights offer at HKD0.98 per
share on the basis of one rights share for every seven existing shares.
Upon completion of the rights issue, share capital will be enlarged by
about 14%. We believe the rights offer is primarily driven by Petro-King’s
tight cash flow position and negative outlook for operation in FY15.
Share price rally on oil industry ownership reform. On 5 Jan, shares
of oilfield service providers including Petro-King rallied by 7-13%,
stimulated by news reports that China National Petroleum
Corporation (CNPC) has kicked off a mixed-ownership reform in Xinjiang.
It is expected that there will be more bold reform actions in 2015 to
encourage private capital to participate in upstream exploration and
production (E&P) operations, which may revive investments in the field.
Gloomy earnings outlook. We believe Petro-King’s operation has been
severely challenged by a tough operating environment in both domestic
and overseas markets. We now see a loss of HKD35m for 2H14 and a
loss of HKD15m for FY14. For FY15, we expect a limited recovery with a
net profit of HKD30m.
Maintain NEUTRAL, lower TP to HKD1.22. We change our valuation to
P/BV from P/E-based, given the company’s highly volatile earnings. We
cut our TP to HKD1.22, based on 0.7x FY15F P/BV, 2SD below its
forward P/BV mean. Our previous TP of HKD2.10 was based on a 12x
FY15F P/E. As its share price has dropped 9% since the announcement,
we believe the negatives have been priced in. Maintain NEUTRAL.

Challenging Outlook
Profit warning a negative surprise. Based on unaudited management accounts for
the 11 months ended Nov 2014 and confirmed orders and service contracts for the
month ending Dec 2014, Petro-King expects to record a net loss for FY14. This came
as a negative surprise as it is much worse than our original recurring net profit
forecasts of HKD135m (-34% YoY) for FY14 and HKD114m (-14% YoY) for 2H14.
This indicates that revenue growth and margins have deteriorated significantly in
2H14.
Falling revenue and rising costs. The company explained that the net loss was
mainly caused by declining revenue and rising operating costs. The drop in revenue
was due to a weak Chinese market and its exposure in Venezuela. The increase in
operating costs was mainly due to Petro-King’s expansion in the number of service
staff and equipment for the unconventional gas division.
Profit warning reflects a challenging operating environment. We believe PetroKing’s operation has been severely challenged by a tough operating environment,
both in domestic and overseas markets. In China, we suspect its production
enhancement segment continued to witness a decline amid a slowdown in business
volume from tight gas/oil wells in Ordos Basin. In Venezuela, receivables collection
from Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) continued to be slow and restrained its
well completion revenue. Amid the recent sharp drop in oil prices, we foresee the
operating environment and earnings outlook to remain challenging and uncertain in
FY15. Based on the limited information available, we now anticipate a loss of
HKD35m for 2H14 and a loss of HKD15m for FY14. For FY15, we expect a limited
recovery with a net profit of HKD30m.

Petro-King Oilfield Services (2178 HK)
6 January 2015
Rights offer raises concern over cash flow
Rights offer raises concern over cash flow. Petro-King also announced that it will
raise HKD151m through a rights offer at a price of HKD0.98 per rights share and on
the basis of one rights share for every seven existing shares. Upon completion of the
rights issue, its share capital will be enlarged by about 14% from 1,080.4m shares to
1,234.7m shares. We believe the rights offer is primarily driven by Petro-King’s tight
cash flow position and negative outlook for operation in FY15.
Yantai Jereh (002353 CH, NR) as an underwriter in the rights offer. Yantai Jereh
(Jereh), a leading integrated oilfield equipment and services provider whose revenue
is more than four times higher than Petro-King’s, joins the rights issue as an
underwriter. Currently, Jereh holds 0.74% of Petro-King’s shares. In the event the
rights shares cannot be fully sold, Jereh has a chance to raise its position in PetroKing to 5.44%. We see this as positive news, with the hope that Jereh may become a
major shareholder of Petro-King.
Share price rally on oil industry reform
Optimism on oil industry ownership reform. On 5 Jan, shares of oilfield service
providers rallied by 7-13% (Petro-King was up by 10%), stimulated by news reports
that CNPC has kicked off a mixed-ownership reform. According to Xinjiang local
media, CNPC kicked off a mixed-ownership reform in Xinjiang with its sales
marketing branch. On 1 Jan, CNPC officially changed the status of its sales
marketing company in Xinjiang from a branch company to a locally-registered limited
liability company, paving the way for future joint-venture cooperation with local
companies in Xinjiang. Another news report by China Securities Daily also indicates
that there will be more bold reform actions in 2015 to encourage private capital to
participate in upstream E&P operations. If this materialises, we expect the mixedownership reform of China’s oil industry, particularly in the upstream E&P sector, to
revive investments in the field and benefit oilfield service providers.
Reduce earnings forecasts, maintain NEUTRAL
Cut earnings forecasts, maintain NEUTRAL. We slash our recurring net profit
forecasts for FY14/FY15/FY16 by 111%, 83% and 71% respectively. Given the
company’s highly volatile earnings, we change our valuation to P/BV from P/E-based.
Our new TP of HKD1.22 is based on 0.7x FY15F P/BV, 2SD below its forward P/BV
mean. We believe this is justified by Petro-King's more uncertain earnings outlook.
However, as its share price has dropped by about 9% since the announcement of the
profit warning, we believe the negatives have been priced in, and we see its earnings
returning to net profit in FY15. Thus, we maintain our NEUTRAL rating.
