Clear survivors emerging in O&M sector: UOB Kay Hian
Singapore
SINGAPORE'S offshore and marine (O&M) sector remains cash-flow stressed, but a review of core margins showed that clear survivors are emerging in the sector despite the financial pressure of a multi-year downturn, UOB Kay Hian noted in its latest sector update.
The brokerage noted that cash flow remains a pressure point in FY16 with core EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margins declining by 4.2 per cent on average to 16.2 per cent.
