SIIC Environment hinges growth on recent acquisitions

Longjiang Group profits could rise 20% annually through 2018.

SIIC will continue to journey up the ladder to be an industry leader with its recent acquisitions of Longjiang Group and Ranhill Water as instruments enabling it to gain a stronger foothold in north-eastern China and break into the industrial wastewater market, said RHB.

SIIC Environmental's (SIIC) total design capacity has grown to over 10m tonnes/day from 7m tonnes/day, after it acquired Longjiang Environmental Protection Group (Longjiang Group) last month.

With that, RHB expects Longjiang Group to lift SIIC's full-year earnings, in 4Q16.

It also notes that Management's guidance was also assuring. Its CFO, Mr Xu Zhan, thinks Longjiang Group's net profit could grow at least 20% pa over FY17-18.

SIIC also acquired a 60% stake in Ranhill Water back in September. RHB thinks this acquisition puts it in good stead to enter the industrial wastewater treatment sector. In addition, management has set a timeline to complete its Hong Kong dual listing by end-2Q17.

After that, RHB believes that SIIC's parent company, Shanghai Industrial, could inject its other water asset – a 45% stake in General Water of China – into SIIC

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
