Dyna-Mac Holdings: Fair Exit Opportunity Amid Revised Final Offer

Date of Report: 24 October 2024
Broker: OCBC Investment Research Private Limited

Company Overview

Dyna-Mac Holdings Ltd. is a leading global multi-disciplinary contractor based in Singapore, specializing in the engineering, procurement, fabrication, and construction of offshore topside modules. These modules are used in various floating production, storage, and offloading vessels (FPSOs), floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs), and onshore plants. The company also serves the renewables sector, focusing on liquefied natural gas (LNG), green hydrogen, and ammonia projects.

Founded in 1990, Dyna-Mac has over 30 years of experience and a robust track record, delivering more than 300 modules. It has established a presence in key markets, including China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.

Investment Thesis

Dyna-Mac’s strategy centers around niche topside module construction, emphasizing quality, reliability, and timely deliveries. This focus positions the company to capture growing demand for FPSO modules, especially amid a shortage in capacity. The company expanded its yard capacity significantly in 2023, which is expected to support top-line growth. Additionally, its healthy net cash position could enable inorganic growth through accretive acquisitions.

On 14 October 2024, this offer was revised to a final price of SGD 0.67 per share. An Independent Financial Adviser (IFA) circular dispatched on 23 October 2024 deemed the offer fair and reasonable. OCBC concurs with this assessment and recommends shareholders to accept the offer.
