1HFY23 results on track
Maintain BUY and MYR1.90 TP

One-offs aside in 2QFY23, 1HFY23 core results made up 46% our FY estimate, with a stronger HoH performance expected in 2H23.

While it has set a minimum target of a 2.5 sen DPS in FY23, a higher payout (5 sen; 4.3% yield) is possible, a catalyst, based on its financial strength.

Securing extension for its Repsol ops and/or Field Development Planning (FDP) approval for its Marigold project are other catalysts.

Our TP, based on USD11/boe of EV/2P reserves valuation excludes these for now.

Small niggles
Maintain BUY and MYR1.90 TP

3Q23 core results came in as expected (-37% QoQ), affected by lower production & realised hydrocarbon prices.

Our revised FY23-25 earnings (-5%-18) now reflect lower off-takes following the unplanned output
disruption at its Kinabalu ops.

That said, securing extension for its Repsol ops and/or Field Development Planning (FDP) approval for its Marigold project are re-rating catalysts.

Our TP, based on USD11/boe of EV/2P reserves valuation excludes these for now.

Hibiscus Petroleum (HIBI MK)
1QFY24: Strong oil prices meet high offtake volumes

Cut FY24-25E EPS by 11%-19%; maintain BUY

We cut FY24-25E EPS by 11%-19% to account for lower in-house average crude oil price assumption of USD80/bbl in 2024E and USD75/bbl in 2025E (from USD100/bbl).

With that, we revise our TP to MYR2.99 based on DCF (from MYR4.75, based on USD11/boe EV/2P reserves valuation previously).

Maintain BUY.
