SWOT Analysis
SWOT ANALYSIS
Hyflux provides construction and engineering services for water treatment plants. The companys
improved operating performance, strong project portfolio, strong order book and focus on R&D are its
major strengths, even as substantial debt remains as an area of concern. Going forward, foreign currency
fluctuations, rising labor costs and strikes in China and government contract compliance may impact the
companys performance. However, positive outlook of Singapore construction and Chinese construction
industries and new contract wins are likely to present new growth opportunities to the company.
Strength Weakness
Strength
Focus on R&D
A strong order backlog ensures future revenue for the company. In FY2015, Hyflux recorded EPC order
backlogs worth SGD995 million. In October 2015, the company along with its consortium partner,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd was selected by the National Environment Agency to establish a new
waste-to-energy plant in Singapore, for the period of 25 years, from 2019 to 2044. In March 2015, the
company was awarded a contract worth SGD260 million from Oman Power and Water Procurement
Company to develop an independent water project at Quriyat area of Oman for a period of 20 years from
2017 to 2037. Consequently, the company has guaranteed sources of future revenue, which will enable it
to invest in new technology and expand its operations.
The projects of the company enable it to grow and strengthen its portfolio of assets. The company has
undertaken several development projects for bringing in new opportunities for itself. The company
undertook the initiative of development of Magtaa Desalination Plant which has a capacity of 500,000
m3/day, is located in Algeria. Tuaspring Integrated Water and Power Project located in Singapore has a
capacity of 318,500 m3/day and 411MW, located in Singapore. Souk Tleta Desalination Plant in Algeria
has a capacity of 200,000 m3/day, and Zunyi Wastewater Treatment Plant in China has a capacity of
150,000 m3/day. Moreover, SingSpring Desalination Plant is located in Singapore and has a capacity of
136,380 m3/day. This helps the company to gain more projects from both public and private sectors in the
future which enhances the name and fame of the company paving the way to increase revenue.
Hyflux recorded a strong operating performance in FY2015, during which it recorded revenue of SGD4.4
billion, with an annual growth of 38.53%, at a CAGR of 1.53% during 2011-2015. The companys
operating margin was 22.7% in FY2015, which was higher than competitors such as Veolia
Environnement SA (Veolia Environment) and Suez Environnement SA (Suez), which reported respective
operating margins of 4.1% and 6.2%. A strong operating performance helps enhance investor confidence
and improve the companys growth prospects.
Weakness
Substantial Debts
Hyflux has substantial debts, which may adversely affect its operations. The company reported total debt
of SGD1.4 billion during FY2015, representing an annual increase of 25.7%, over its previous years debt
of SGD1.1 billion. Moreover, the companys debt to equity ratio increased from 0.85 in FY2014 to 1.1 in
FY2015. The significant increase in debt limits its ability to obtain additional financing in future for working
capital, and for other strategic initiatives. Substantial debts may adversely affect the companys
operations and may further weaken its financial position.
Opportunity
Positive outlook for Singapore construction industry may provide new opportunities for Hyflux. According
to in-house research, the Singapore construction industry is expected to value SGD43.6 billion in 2019,
improving at a CAGR of 2.48% during 2015 and 2019 (forecast period). The market is expected to driven
by government investments in transport and tourism infrastructure through launch of projects and
focusing on developing renewable energy sources. Residential construction market is expected to record
a CAGR of 2.64% during the forecast-period and value SGD15.7 billion in 2019. This market is expected
to expect to driven by the rising population and positive developments in economic conditions.

SGD4.0 billion in 2019. This market is expected to support by the tourism and retail industries and
Government Land Sale (GLS) program. Infrastructure construction industry is expected to record a CAGR
of 7.03% during the forecast period and value SGD6.5 billion in 2019. This market is expected to support
by the governments investments in public transport infrastructure and transport infrastructure including

SGD5.7 billion in 2019 respectively. These markets are expected to driven by growing industrial and
manufacturing activity and plans to develop institutional buildings, healthcare and research facilities.
Therefore, the company may benefit from this growing market by gaining new contracts in Singapore and
increase its revenues.
The positive outlook for the Chinese construction industry may provide new opportunities for Hyflux.
According to in-house research, the construction industry in china is expected to post a CAGR of 4.99%
during 20152019 (forecast period) and reaches a value of CNY25.2 trillion in 2019. The industry is
expected to increase by rapid urbanization, industrialization, rising disposable income and population

Hyflux received various contracts which will expand its existing operations and strengthen market
position. In April 2016, the company was awarded a contract from the General Authority for the Suez
Canal Economic Zone (SCZone) to construct the Ain Sokhna Integrated Water and Power Project in
Egypt for US$500 million. In January 2016, the company's subsidiary Hydrochem Saudi Ltd., secured a
contract worth US$50.4 million from Snamprogetti Saudi Arabia Co Ltd, to design, manufacture and
deliver a seawater reverse osmosis and sulphate removal facilities package for the Khurais Central
Processing Facility in Khurais, Saudi Arabia. In June 2015, the company's wholly-owned subsidiary
Hydrochem Saudi Limited was awarded contract worth US$48 million from the state-owned Saline Water

Procurement Company to develop an independent water project at Quriyat area of Oman. Therefore, the
company has a strong revenue source for the years ahead, which is expected to help it to invest in new
technologies and expand its business operations.
Threat
The government contracts of Hyflux are subject to several intricate government procurement laws and
regulations, apart from the routine audits of contract pricing. The results of such investigations may lead
to administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties,
repayments, or compensatory or treble damages. The governments regulations dictate that certain
findings against a contractor may lead to a refund, payment of significant damages, or contract
cancellation or debarment from doing business with the government. The suspension or debarment of
business could have a significant adverse effect on the companys financial performance. Moreover, the
government contracts are subject to postponement, cancellation or termination of various programs, due
to any change in the government/defense priorities. Such contract terminations or cancellations by the
government may impact the companys operations.
Unfavorable changes in foreign currency exchange rates are likely to increase the expenses for the
company. Hyflux has operations in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa and recorded 62% of its
revenue from international customers during FY2015. Currency Fluctuations may impact the company's
competitive position against its close competitors Puncak Niaga Holdings Berhad and Beijing Enterprises
Water, in turn affecting its profitability.
Rising labor costs and strikes in China may impact the companys operations. According to the China
Labour Bulletin (CLB) report, in April 2016, the minimum wage rates in Shanghai increased by 8.4% to
CNY2,190 per month; and hourly rate from CNY18 to CNY19 per hour. In addition, in November 2015,
the minimum wage in Heilongjiang increased to CNY1,450 per month. In July 2015, 14 provinces and
municipalities increased the minimum wage: Guangdong increased its monthly minimum wage by 19% to
