According to BW, sales in Singapore is weak because 1st quarter (-7.7% yoy) being usually the weakest quarter due to seasonal and CNY festive. Not sure how true is this? Consumers profiles in both Singapore and Malaysia should be the same and Malaysia is able to register sales growth (+12.7% yoy). Anyways, Malaysia seems to be BW sales growth focus in future quarters. In Indonesia, Thailand and Taiwan, BW is facing double digit de-growth.
2Q12 would let us know whether BW is successful to stay the course on maintaining or improving its market share over competitors. But if there is a repeat Thailand flood in 3Q12 then this could negatively impact BW badly.
In 2Q11, BW reduced dividends by 50% from 1.6cents to 0.6cents. Keeping its dividends at 0.6cents will be a nice thing to do when 2Q12 results is expected to be announced in Aug'12 so, till then.
