Deep Down Inc. - Aktie des Tages!!

Morgen zusammen,

mein heutiger Tagestipp: Deep Down Inc. (WKN A0LGKL).

die Aktie klettert!

Die Technologien, die beim Aufbau von Offshore-Plattformen zum Einsatz kommen würden, seien außergewöhnlich komplex. Deep Down setze die von den Auftraggebern gewünschten Lösungen um, agiere aber auch als Berater oder unterstützender Partner bei Großprojekten. Zu den Dienstleistungen würden das Projektmanagement, die Projektumsetzung und das Storage Management zählen. Das benötigte Zubehör produziere das Unternehmen größtenteils selbst.

Ein großer Erfolg sei die "SeaStax"-Produktreihe. "SeaStax" sei entwickelt worden, um schwere Maschinen und Zubehör auf sicherem Weg in die Tiefe transportieren zu können. Die bislang auf dem Markt erhältlichen Produkte hätten aufgrund von gravierenden Sicherheitsmängeln wenig Anklang gefunden. Mit "SeaStax" biete Deep Down den Kunden eine sichere, umweltfreundliche und zugleich äußerst variable Lösung. Die einzelnen Komponenten seien beliebig kombinierbar und könnten daher individuell an die Bedürfnisse des Kunden angepasst werden.

Dies komme bei den Auftraggebern sehr gut an und sorge dafür, dass die Kundenliste von Deep Down immer länger werde. Branchengrößen wie Royal Dutch Shell, ExxonMobil, Texaco, Chevron, BP, Total, BHP und ENI habe das texanische Unternehmen in der Vergangenheit bereits überzeugen und dauerhaft als Kunden gewinnen können.

Wie viel Geld sich in diesem Geschäft verdienen lasse, verdeutliche das nachfolgende Beispiel: Die Fertigstellung der vom Unternehmen BP in Auftrag gegebenen Plattform "King" habe insgesamt rund 12 Mio. USD verschlungen. Auf die von Deep Down angebotenen Produkte und Dienstleistungen entfalle ein Anteil von 5,8%. Dies entspreche der Summe von 700.000 USD. Das Beispiel beziehe sich wohlgemerkt auf den Bau einer einzelnen Bohrinsel.

Hierdurch werde sehr schnell klar: das Umsatz- und Gewinnpotenzial von Deep Down sei gigantisch. Um das vorhandene Potenzial ausschöpfen zu können, sei das Unternehmen auch im Hinblick auf Übernahmen wachsam. Gerade erst sei der Zukauf von ElectroWave USA perfekt gemacht worden. ElectroWave stelle elektronische Mess- und Überwachungsgeräte her. Das Management gehe davon aus, dass sich die Übernahme unmittelbar positiv auf den Umsatz und den Gewinn von Deep Down auswirken werde. Langfristig solle ein Unternehmen entstehen, das alle Produkte und Dienstleistungen aus einer Hand anbiete.

Dabei sehe sich das Management insbesondere dem Shareholder Value verpflichtet. Im Verlauf des ersten Quartals sei die Zahl der im Umlauf befindlichen Aktien um 18% reduziert worden. Diese Nachricht werde die Investoren freuen, habe eine solche Reduzierung des Aktienangebotes doch zumeist steigende Kurse zur Folge.

Ron Smith, CEO des Unternehmens, kenne sein Geschäft. Vor seinem Wechsel zu Deep Down habe er wichtige Management-Positionen bei der Ocean Drilling and Exploration Company sowie den Unternehmen Oceaneering Multiflex, Mustang Engineering und Kvaerner inne gehabt. Im Laufe seiner Tätigkeit habe Ron Smith alle relevanten Geschäftsbereiche des Onshore wie des Offshore-Geschäfts durchlaufen und könne so auf einen reichhaltigen Erfahrungsschatz zurückblicken.

Die Nachfrage nach Offshore-Pipelines und Zubehör werde den eingeschlagenen Pfad Prognosen zufolge weiter steigen. Die Zuwachsraten würden je nach Region schwanken, lägen aber durchweg im dreistelligen Bereich. In der Region Westafrika würden die Experten eine Verdreifachung des Marktvolumens erwarten, in Südost-Asien sei gar eine Verfünffachung zu erwarten. Für den südamerikanischen Markt werde eine Verdopplung prognostiziert.

Die bevorstehende Hurrikan-Saison verleihe der Aktie zusätzliche Kursfantasie. In den letzten Jahren sei zu beobachten gewesen, dass sich die Aktien jener Unternehmen, die von möglichen Hurrikan-Schäden profitieren würden, in den Monaten Mai und Juni spürbar verteuern würden. Deep Down sei in vielen Regionen tätig, für die Hurrikans vorausgesagt würden. Sollten die Schäden ähnlich gravierend ausfallen wie in den Vorjahren, dürfe Deep Down mit zusätzlichen Aufträgen rechnen.

Würden die kommenden Quartale ebenso gut wie die ersten drei Monate des Jahres verlaufen, werde Deep Down im Geschäftsjahr 2007 erstmals einen Umsatz in zweistelliger Millionenhöhe verbuchen und einen Gewinn jenseits der Millionengrenze bekannt geben können. Mit einer Marktkapitalisierung von unter 25 Mio. EUR und einem 2006-KGV von 25,7 erscheine die Aktie angesichts des gewaltigen Potenzials auch nicht zu teuer. Das Kursziel laute auf 0,45 EUR.

Die Experten des Börsenbriefs "Global SmallCap Report" raten den Anlegern bei der Aktie des Unternehmens Deep Down zum Kauf. (Analyse vom 11.06.07)

Hallo allen Deep Down investierten,

bin erst seit einen Jahr am Markt aktiv dabei, werde weder noch irgendwelche Prognosen noch Kaufempfehlungen abgeben. Sollte jeder für sich entscheiden. Möchte mich aber gerne über das hier von Euch genannte Unternehmen austauschen.Bin selbst bei DD investiert und mir ist klar das es sich auch hier um ein Hot-Stocks handelt wo gerne mit gezokt wird.Meine Meinung ist aber, das bei DD fundamental was dahinter steckt, was mann bei vielen anderen heiss diskutierten Hot-Stocks hier nicht findet.Lese die aktuellen News immer bei finanznachrichten. Da mein Wirtschaftsenglisch nicht das beste ist, kopiere ich die Texte und füge dann den Text auf der Seite von Yahoo Babel Fich ein.Der spuckt mir dann alles in Deutsch aus.Hätte auch nicht gedacht, das sie noch mal soweit zurück kommt und das ohne Grund.Bin aber fest von überzeugt das uns DD noch jede Menge Freude und euros bescheren wird. Wünsche allen investierten ein schönes WE

fetter reversal...

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2007, was $19,389,730, an increase of $10,568,581 or 119.8%, compared to revenue of $8,821,149 for the comparable period in 2006. Gross profit for 2007 was $6,369,361, an increase of $2,703,611 or 73.8%, compared to gross profit of $3,665,750 for 2006. Gross profit dropped from 41.6% to 32.8%, primarily as the result of increased expenses associated with the development of new products during the year. Management expects margins to improve with wider acceptance of these recent product introductions. Operating income for 2007 was $1,657,844 for 2007, an increase of $3,868,886 compared to a loss of $2,211,042 for the comparable period in 2006. Net income for 2007 was $952,509, an increase of $3,764,136 compared to a loss of $2,811,627 for the comparable period in 2006.

Deep Down uses EBITDA as an unaudited supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of its assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure, taxes or historical cost basis. The Company defines EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash, non-operating expense. The term EBITDA is not defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and EBITDA is not presented as an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations. EBITDA does not give effect to cash used for debt service requirements, and thus, does not reflect funds available for investment, distributions or other discretionary uses. When assessing Deep Down's operating performance or liquidity, investors and others should not consider this data in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities, or other cash flow data calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, Deep Down also understands that such data are used by some investors, equity analysts, and others to make informed investment decisions. EBITDA is used as an analytical indicator of income generated to service debt and fund capital expenditures. In addition, multiples of current or projected EBITDA are used to estimate current or projected enterprise value. EBITDA for 2007 was $2,272,202, up 43.0% compared to $1,296,218 for 2006.

"Our management team is extremely proud of our first full year's results of operations as a public company. The income statement is primarily reflective of growth in our core operations and includes only one month of financial results for our most recent acquisition, Mako Technologies. We expect the full impact of this acquisition to manifest itself in future periods," commented Robert E. Chamberlain, Jr., Deep Down's Chairman and Chief Acquisitions Officer. "We are committed to the continued fulfillment of our strategic acquisition objectives to position Deep Down as a preferred provider of services and products in support of deepwater exploration, development and production of oil and gas, and other maritime operations," Chamberlain added.

"Our significant revenue growth is reflective of Deep Down's commitment to offer innovative services, products, and solutions to support major oil and gas operators, installation contractors, and umbilical and control suppliers in their continual effort to enhance the progression and completion of major offshore oil and gas exploration and production projects. Our goal is to deliver innovative solutions to our customers quicker, more cost-effectively, and more safely. We are also focused on protecting our innovations more effectively as we venture into the uncharted frontier of deeper water," commented Ronald E. Smith, Deep Down's President and Chief Executive Officer.

"We are particularly proud of the balance sheet improvements experienced during 2007. We have simplified the capital structure by redeeming for cash or exchanging for common stock various series of preferred stock. Deep Down experienced significant balance sheet improvements over the period with an increase in shareholders' equity of $15.9 million. This dramatic increase does not reflect the recent conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock or the final payment for the Mako acquisition. We believe our liquidity to be healthy as well. Compared to the prior period, our accounts receivable have increased by $5.9 million to $7.2 million. Our accounts payable have only increased by $2.8 million to $3.6 million. We will continue to focus on simplifying the capital structure, reducing capital costs, and positioning the company to finance future acquisitions," said Eugene L. Butler, Deep Down's Chief Financial Officer.

Deep Down will deliver the LSFLs on its proprietary Subsea Deployment Baskets (SDB). The installation contractor is considering installing the LSFLs with Deep Down's recently introduced subsea deployment method because of its effectiveness in reducing installation time. The use of SDBs also reduces the risk for safety incidents by reducing the amount of personnel time needed to deploy LSFLs over a lay chute versus the seconds it takes to overboard a SDB into the water.

"Our personnel have been instrumentally involved in the design, manufacture, and installation of steel flying leads since the initial concept. We are committed to the introduction of new concepts to improve the design, function, and cost of steel flying leads to assist our customers in the production of deepwater reserves," commented Ronald E.

The 4,000 meter rated LARS was specially designed for subsea load handling, lifting and tensioning, and launch and retrieval of specialized undersea equipment, including Remote Operated Vehicles ("ROV"), in ultra-deep and harsh subsea environments. Special functions include auto-variable speed control (load dependent), wire spooling and guide systems, grooved drums, emergency release capabilities, gravity lowering, emergency hoisting abilities, and a water-cooled drum to reduce heat on the umbilical. The safe working load of the LARS is 28 tonnes, and the system is capable of delivering payloads at speeds of up to 76 meters per minute. Another unique feature of this LARS is the specially designed wraparound level wind sensor system which allows for more sensitive yet smoother operation in rugged, high-load, ultra-high deepwater applications. At the customer's request, Deep Down was storing the system at its facilities in Channelview until a vessel was ready to receive it.
