Jaya reports Net Profit of US$3.8 million for the third quarter ended 31 March 2012

SINGAPORE, 11 May 2012


Jaya Holdings Limited (the "Company", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") reported consolidated revenue of US$16.2 million and net profit of US$3.8 million for the financial quarter ended 31 March 2012.
The Group's total revenue for the 3rd Quarter under review was US$16.2 million, 17% higher than the previous corresponding quarter. The increased revenue was mainly contributed by the Offshore Shipping Division. The Shipbuilding Division recorded no revenue for the quarter under review and the previous corresponding quarter.
The Offshore Shipping Division's revenue was higher primarily due to higher charter utilisation of 66% for the quarter under review compared to 59% in the previous corresponding quarter and a larger fleet of 29 vessels compared to 23 vessels in the previous year.
The Group's Net Profit for the quarter under review amounted to US$3.8 million, a 89%
decrease from US$34.3 million in the previous corresponding quarter.
1. During the quarter under review, the Offshore Shipping Division recorded a net profit of US$3.6 million compared to US$23.8 million in the previous corresponding quarter. The decrease in net profit in the quarter under review was mainly due to disposal gains of US$24.8 million on two vessels in the previous corresponding quarter.
2. The Shipbuilding Division recorded net profit of US$0.6 million in 3rd Quarter FY2012 compared to US$11.5 million in the previous corresponding quarter. The decreased net profit in the quarter under review was mainly attributable to US$11.1 million of gains from the disposal of assets from the Nantong Dongjiang shipyard in the previous corresponding quarter.
For the nine months under review, the Group recorded net profit of US$9.5 million compared to US$62.6 million in the previous corresponding period.
As at 31 March 2012, the equity attributable to equity holders was US$462.8 million compared to US$453.0 million as at 30 June 2011. The Group's net gearing ratio was
0.17 at 31 March 2012.

The offshore supply vessel ("OSV") market continued to improve gradually during the period under review, notwithstanding that the market continues to be oversupplied due to which charter rates remain stagnant. However, as a result of exceptionally high tender activity in the first quarter of 2012 in Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia and Vietnam there seems to be increasing optimism in the market, which is reinforced by increasing demand from East and West Africa for mid- and large-sized vessels from Asia.
In our offshore services business, the Group is focussing on entering new markets, increasing utilisation and improving charter rates. The Group has recently recruited Max Hartvigsen as President - Offshore, to expand and extend this business. Charter utilisation is improving and is expected to continue to improve significantly over the next reporting period.
Concurrently, the Group is re-evaluating its new-building programme and has plans to reconfigure some of the assets in the existing build programme to enhance the marketability and the value of these assets. The Group will continue to selectively sell vessels with the objective of improving the fleet mix.
This strategic approach is expected to serve the Group well in achieving its goal of re- positioning itself as a reputed Offshore Energy Services provider.
The Group is encouraged by seven recently won term charter contracts amounting to US$108.4 million, for five of its Anchor Handling Tug and Supply Vessels ("AHTSVs"), and two of its ROV Support Vessels ("ROVSVs").
The Group is proud to announce that it has recently been awarded membership by IMCA (International Marine Contractors' Association). We are in the process of implementing various initiatives to increase our efficiency and productivity, strengthen our systems and processes, and ensure our people are well prepared for new and increasing challenges in this domain.
