*On June 2015, HOMERIZ had acquired the remaining 35% of EISB and EISB had become HOMERIZ wholly-owned subsidiary

Ø  Has a diverse customer base spanning across more than 40 countries, including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, etc.

Financial Highlights

From FY11 to FY14, HOMERIZ revenue had a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 12.29% while its net profit had a CAGR of 23.26%! Based on the FY15 first three quarters, HOMERIZ revenue and net profit are very likely to achieve a new high.

The excellent financial results are probably because of higher sales volume and strengthening of USD.

*as at 31 May 2015

HOMERIZ net cash on hand had increased 7 times from 2011 to 2014! It is definitely a cash rich company with almost MYR50m on hand. It totally reflects HOMERIZ financial strength. Cash is king during hard time.

Company Highlight

June 2015

Ø  Acquisition of the remaining 35% of equity interest in Embrace Industries Sdn. Bhd. for MYR12.17m

July 2015

Ø  Bonus issue 1:2 with free warrants on the basis of 1:4

Ø  Acquisition of an agriculture land at Johor for MYR7.68m

Weakening Of MYR

Based on the geographical information, only 0.8% of HOMERIZ revenue is from Malaysia while 99.2% are exported out to other countries!

Weakening of MYR against USD, SGD and Euro will benefit HOMERIZ! So far, MYR had depreciated about 22% against USD. That’s mean if other factors remain constant, theoretically HOMERIZ will have extra MYR3m+! That’s a lot!

Expansion Plan

On July 2015, HOMERIZ had acquired a piece of land at Johor for MYR7.68m whereby its existing manufacturing plants are located at the same place too.  To expand its business. HOMERITZ had proposed to establish a factory on the land.

Definitely, this will be a good news for HOMERIZ even though it was just the first stage. With almost MYR50m cash on hand, HOMERIZ can easily make internal funding and borrowing for this new factory.

Since the land had been acquired, there should be no obstacle for HOMERIZ to set up the new factory. By the time the factory establishes, HOMERIZ production capacity will also increase.

Acquisition of Remaining Interest in EISB

On June 2015, Homeritz had acquired the remaining 35% of the equity interest in Embrace Industries Sdn. Bhd. 

That’s mean upon completion, EISB will become wholly-owned companies of HOMERIZ. EISB total net profit will fully contribute to EISB and no longer with 65% only.

On FY14, EISB net profit was MYR11.6m. 

Let’s assume EISB net profit for FY15 is MYR13m. An additional 35% profit will contribute additional MYR4.5m to HOMERIZ financial result! It is equivalent to additional MYR1m+ net profit a quarter!

The acquisiton had completed on September. HOMERIZ upcoming quarter result is expected to achieve higher!

Dilution of Earnings

On July 2015, HOMERIZ had issued 50m warrants,HOMERIZ-WA 2015/2020, to the market.

If the warrant is in-the-money, it is possible that every single warrants will be exercise. If this situation happens, HOMERIZ will need to issue another 50m ordinary shares to the market. By that time, HOMERIZ outstanding shares will be 350m!

In the words, originally a grand prize is shared by 30 person, but now it needs to be share by 35 person! The portion that a person get definitely will be smaller compared to previously.

Price Estimation

HOMERIZ cash flow on year 2013 was MYR18.6m while on year 2014 was MYR29.6m, equivalent to increase of 28%. To recall again, HOMERIZ net profit CAGR for the past three years was 23.26%. For a pessimistic scenario, operating cash flow of MYR30m will be used in year 1 and CAGR of only 5% will be used! Since the Beta for HOMERIZ is 1.26, interest rate of 7% will be used.

Discount Cash Flow (“DCF”) model

*since we can’t take forever cash flow into account, so assumption of HOMERIZ will only sustain for another 12 years after year 10 will be taken.

PE estimation

On next financial year, EISB revenue will 100% contribute to HOMERIZ financial result.

USD will continue to strengthen since FED is likely to hike interest rate soon.

All the factors are positive to HOMERIZ, so its future earnings are estimated as below:

Technical Chart

To make it simplify, only candlesticks and RSI indicator will used. HOMERIZ had a strong resistance line at MYR1.01 and a strong support line at MYR0.90.

Currently, HOMERIZ is moving side way and retests the resistance line. It is an uncertainty whether it will break through or continue moving side way.

However, if HOMERIZ is able to break through the resistance line, the buy in signal will be form. HOMERIZ will move up to another price region.
