Record order boosts momentum and firms guidance
Hunting has received a record US$145m OCTG order with shipments to the Kuwait Oil Company expected to start toward the end of 2024. As a result, following an in-line Q1 update, EBITDA guidance has now firmed towards the upper end of the company’s existing US$125m-135m range. We have raised our current year EBITDA estimate to US$131m (+c.7%) and by c.14% for FY25 due to this new business win. This contract follows significant OCTG (Oil Country Tubular Goods) orders in H2'22 (US$80m+ offshore Ch...

On track to deliver further progress in FY24
Commentary and financial metrics in Hunting’s AGM/Q1 update confirm that the company has progressed in line with its FY24 targets thus far in year-to-date trading. Q124 EBITDA was well ahead year-on-year. This represents a good step towards the flagged US$125m-135m range for the year, with ongoing momentum in the strongest market segments. Group revenue has continued to grow well, being up c.16% year-on-year in Q1 and c.7% ahead compared to Q423, a strong quarterly close to FY23. Shipments agai...

Guidance beaten in FY23 and unchanged for FY24
Hunting delivered EBITDA of US$103m, ahead of revised guidance and the inferred year-end expectation, representing a 98% y-o-y uplift (and 11.1% margin, +380bp). Major contract awards boosted Subsea and OCTG activities in particular, but top line progress was also accompanied by good cost control to deliver the full year outturn. A record year-end order book position leaves the company well-placed to deliver further progress in FY24, where guidance is unchanged. At the headline level, Hunting ...

In-line FY23 update, further progress anticipated
Good revenue progress, a strong EBITDA uplift (and margin expansion), an ungeared year-end balance sheet and the in-year launch of an ambitious 2030 strategy represents a healthy FY23 scorecard for Hunting. Furthermore, additional order book growth and unchanged management guidance positions the company well to achieve further progress. A number of large contract awards announced at the end of FY22 and as FY23 progressed contributed meaningfully to the FY23 outturn. In addition, Hunting ended ...

UK-Listed Energy Sector
The front of this note takes a look at the UK oil and gas sector, why domestic production is advantageous, what the main political parties think, and what could happen going forward. The latter part contains a review of the companies in our coverage – some that are UK centric, which give exposure to the note’s wider theme, and others that are focused elsewhere.

Connecting market position and clear ambition
With positive trading momentum and order book development continuing, Hunting has outlined a clear growth strategy for the remainder of this decade. This is predicated upon further progress in traditional markets amplified by deeper penetration of newer adjacent ones and other non-oil & gas industries. In share price terms, only partial credit has been given for an improving financial performance. Yet, at current levels it is effectively discounting no growth beyond a return to pre-Covid levels ...
