Westports Holdings (WPRTS MK) - 3Q24: Headline Numbers Intact Despite ...

3Q24: Headline Numbers Intact Despite Better Costs After WPRTS 2 Accounting WPRTS beat our forecasts in 3Q24 mainly due to lower amortisation as the new WPRTS 2 concession commenced in Sep 24, extending the concession lifespan by at least 15 years. Headline numbers were still intact. In the medium term (until CT10 startup by 2028), one area of growth may give a further boost to WPRTS’ gateway cargoes, vs chasing for a transshipment recovery. We maintain HOLD on WPRTS with a target price of RM4.2...

9M24 Preview: Container Volume Growth Within Expectations In our preview of Westports’ (WPRTS) 9M24 results, we observed that volume growth will continue to be driven by gateway, as the global port congestions had not eased and will continue to adversely impact its transshipment. Despite wide public knowledge on WPRTS 2 concession, we still think that WPRTS lacks medium-term catalysts. Recent volume data already shows fellow competitor NorthPort gaining results from its new yard capacity Block K...

Westports Holdings (WPRTS MK) - 2Q24: Container Yields Surpass Expecta...

2Q24: Container Yields Surpass Expectations On Surprising VAS Surge WPRTS beat our forecasts mainly due to a VAS revenue surge. 2024 port congestions negatively impacted costs, but mainly for transhipment. Hence, gateway mix remained strong. The readjustments away from the Red Sea generated more ad-hoc calls, more laden boxes handled per call, larger average parcel sizes and higher VAS – all positive drivers on container yields. Assuming this is a high-base effect, risk-reward is balanced. Maint...

Downside Risk From Sporadic Port Congestions And M&A Trends Our findings that WPRTS’ loss of market share in 1Q24 to PTP and PSA alongside PSA’s recently reactivated defunct terminals appear to support our theory that WPRTS’ lack of spare capacity is a small competitive disadvantage, amid sporadic global port congestions which have worsened qoq. We preemptively cut WPRTS’ volume assumption. Also, investors may need to digest more M&A trends including a Smart AI port in Negeri Sembilan. Retain HO...

1Q24: Laden Gateway Boosted Profits, But Sporadic Port Congestions A Risk WPRTS’ 1Q24 core profit was boosted by another new high in its gateway mix, especially the laden gateway cargo that command the highest tariffs. However, with flattish Apr 24 volume growth, certain cost spikes will persist due to sporadic port congestion/vessel bunching which could disrupt schedules more than the 2021-22 scenario. We had explicitly highlighted this risk in an earlier update note despite maintaining our for...

Embracing Port Congestion And Container Industry Consolidation Port congestion may re-emerge as a key earnings risk in 2024, as an aftereffect of the Red Sea and Panama Canal crises. With no spare capacity at least in the medium term, we believe WPRTS will continually reassess its position, amid changing M&A trends that are propelling leading shipping liners to co-invest with strategic ports to become global terminal operators (GTO). Noting that its share price is aligned with the global peer av...

2023: Profits In Line Despite Gateway Volume Charging Up Westports beat expectations on both 2023 container volumes and the high-yield gateway business. However, Westports remains conservative on volume guidance for 2024, as it embarks on the new WPRTS 2 expansion. Without the allowance of tariff hikes, investors may perceive the expansion negatively − the lease payment changes alone will impact the earnings base by 5%. Fortunately, Westports has started renegotiations for the tariff changes. Re...

Assessing Disruption Risks in 2024; Supply Chain Crisis Far From Over Although Westports closed 2023 with a new milestone on monthly volumes, the global ports and container industry started the new year of 2024 with new disruption risks.

WPRTS 2 Concession Sanctioned, But More Factors Need To Be Ironed Out The long-awaited CT10-17 terminal expansion has been sanctioned. WPRTS 2 will boost capacity from 15m TEUs to 27m TEUs, and the concession period until 2082. Our target price has partially factored in the expansion, but in our view it is still not immune to political risks (exposed to projects like ECRL and Pulau Carey). Key terms (like tariff, capex and funding) are still being finalised, but without this guidance, it is not ...
