DIVIDENDS<br />

In line with the Group’s policy to enhance<br />

shareholder value, the Board of Directors<br />

is pleased to recommend a single tier final<br />

dividend of 4 sen per share for the financial<br />

year ended 31 January 2010, subject<br />

to the approval of shareholders at the<br />

forthcoming Annual General Meeting.<br />

If approved, the total dividend paid for FY<br />

2010 including the interim dividend of 3<br />

sen per share paid on 9 November 2009,<br />

would amount to 7 sen per share. This<br />

would be 40% higher than the 5 sen per<br />

share paid out in the previous financial<br />

year.<br />

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS<br />

On 28 July 2009, the Company’s whollyowned<br />

subsidiary, TL GeoSciences Sdn<br />

Bhd (TLGS), acquired the remaining 30.0%<br />

of the issued and paid-up capital of TL<br />

Geohydrographics Sdn Bhd (TLGH) for a<br />

total consideration of RM18.0 million. With<br />

the acquisition, TLGH has become a whollyowned<br />

subsidiary of the Group.<br />

In another development, Scomi Oilserve<br />

Sdn Bhd (SOSB) also became our wholly<br />

owned subsidiary after the remaining 60%<br />

was acquired from Scomi Group Berhad for<br />

a cash consideration of RM8.2 million on<br />

24 August 2009. Being the owner of two<br />

anchor handling tugs SOSB (now known<br />

as TL Oilserve Sdn Bhd), has enabled the<br />

Group to enhance and synergise its service<br />

offerings for the IPF and Marine Services<br />

Divisions as well as reducing dependency<br />

on third-party vessels.<br />

The year in review also saw the Group<br />

setting in motion plans to further expand<br />

the role of its Operations and Maintenance<br />

(O&M) Division to serve as regional<br />

maintenance centre for the oil and gas<br />

industry turbine equipment. To this end,<br />

Sapura Power Services Sdn Bhd has<br />

entered into a joint agreement with GE<br />

Oil & Gas to improve the existing centre<br />

in a collaborative effort to keep pace with<br />

international standards thereby enabling<br />

the centre to support GE’s regional and<br />

global needs.<br />

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS<br />

Notwithstanding the global economic<br />

downturn and its impact on the oil and gas<br />

industry, both IPF and Drilling divisions<br />

were insulated from the weak market due<br />

to the relatively long term nature of their<br />

contracts. By contrast, the Marine Services<br />

division is more susceptible to the volatility<br />

of the oil price, due to the short term nature<br />

of their contracts and the more competitive<br />

environment. To this end, the Group has<br />

initiated several continuous improvement<br />

measures resulting in increased<br />

productivity, efficiency and cost savings.<br />

Installation of Pipelines and Facilities (IPF)<br />

FY 2010 was an outstanding year in<br />

terms of new contracts secured and the<br />

turnaround of SapuraAcergy, the entity<br />

equally owned with Acergy. IPF division<br />

has in hand an order book of about RM8.5<br />

billion at home and abroad that will keep<br />

the division busy until the year 2012.<br />

TL Offshore, our wholly owned subsididary<br />

and SapuraAcergy together dominated the<br />

IPF market in Malaysia for both shallow<br />

and deepwater work. SapuraAcergy also<br />

continued to make major strides in the<br />

international market, with three new<br />

contracts secured during the year. More<br />

significantly, these new contracts in<br />

Japan, Australia and India were secured<br />

in international bidding against major<br />

established global players.<br />

Projects completed during the year<br />

included a RM3.0 billion programme<br />

for the transportation and installation<br />

of offshore pipelines and facilities for<br />

PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB). IPF<br />

division also completed a RM525.0 million<br />

contract to transport and install offshore<br />

pipelines and facilities for Carigali-PTTEPI<br />

Operating Company’s (CPOC) development<br />

project in the Malaysia-Thailand Joint<br />

Development Area (MTJDA). Another major<br />

undertaking completed in 2009 was the<br />

RM620.0 million Kikeh pipeline project<br />

executed by SapuraAcergy. Besides this,<br />

SapuraAcergy also completed a RM185.0<br />

million contract awarded by Larsen &<br />

Toubro Ltd (L&T) India for the installation<br />

of a well-head platform including offshore<br />

construction of well-head jackets and<br />

topsides for the Mumbai High South<br />

Field, developed and operated by the<br />

Indian state-owned Oil and Natural Gas<br />

Corporation (ONGC).<br />

On the home front, the IPF division was<br />

awarded the Pan Malaysia Integrated<br />

Transportation and Installation (T&I)<br />

contracts under an umbrella tender<br />

system covering 11 Production Sharing<br />

Contractors (PSCs). The contracts are valued<br />

at RM1.5 billion per year over a three-year<br />

period beginning in 2010 with an option<br />

for two extensions of one year each.<br />
