Vivocom International Holdings Bhd: Construction our main driver for 2016
By The iProperty.com News Team on Apr 04, 2016


KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 : Vivocom International Holdings Bhd, which targets a revenue of RM760 million for this financial year ending Dec 31, 2016 (FY16), expects the construction business to contribute 70-75% of its revenue, mainly driven by projects from China Railway Construction Corp Ltd (CRCC).

Executive director Choo Seng Choon said the group, which was formerly known as Instacom Group Bhd, was predominantly driven by its telco tower builder business. Now, the group is backed by three businesses, which are telco, aluminium and construction following acquisitions over the last two years.

“(For FY16) We hope to do RM600 million for construction, RM80 million for telco and RM80 million for aluminium. That’s our target. That will bring us to RM760 million revenue, which will be an achievement and will be quite comfortable for us.

“The main growth driver will effectively come from construction, by the sheer value of each contract and the volume that they take on,” Choo told SunBiz in an interview recently.

He said Vivocom, which prides itself with being one of the biggest market capitalisation on the ACE Market, aims to transfer to the Main Market within a year, after it delivers its FY16 results.

“2015 revenue is telco-driven so we’re not proven as a construction group yet. This year will be the first year we need to deliver. Once we deliver the results, next year we can start looking at it (moving to Main Market) already.”

Choo said while construction is expected to contribute the bulk of the group’s revenue, the remaining 10-15% will be split between aluminium and telco.

“Currently the bulk of our (construction) jobs is from a mixture of building and infrastructure projects but our main client CRCC is giving 40-50% of the current order book that we have,” said Choo, adding that the remaining portion comes from private entities and public companies.

He said Vivocom’s order book stood at RM2.7 billion and can keep the group busy for three years. Of this, construction makes up RM2.4 billion.

It is bidding for RM2 billion worth of construction jobs, including the M101 SkyWheel in the redevelopment of Kampung Baru, the Gemas-Johor Baru electrified double-tracking project, the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail project, as well as the Tropics in Kuching by the Regal International Group.

“We hope to get an average of RM1-2 billion a year (order book replenishment) but depending on margins, track record payments and clientele. We do not have the cash muscle to fight with the big construction groups. We have to choose clientele that can pay us on time and that will allow us to roll,” said Choo.

Transforming from a telco tower builder to a construction firm, he opined that Vivocom’s change is not huge and that the skillsets are similar.

“When you’re a telco contractor, you also build and manage projects. The way we run the project is similar to construction. Only difference is the timing, scale and the duration is smaller. In telco, tower sites project takes six to nine months but for construction, each project is two to three years.”

Choo said the recent spectrum reallocation for telcos brings more work opportunities in terms of infrastructure change and upgrades, such as the change of equipment, rebuilding of towers or repositioning of sites, which could convert to an additional revenue of RM20 million to RM30 million per year for the telco arm.

Despite this however, Choo said the focus is still on growing its construction business which is a cash driven one.

“For telco, you lock in for five years with fixed rates but the volume can fluctuate. Because of the fluctuation, I don’t have economies of scale and I don’t have bargaining power for suppliers to get a cheaper rate,” said Choo.

On paying out dividends, he said it will likely come in 2018 once it has built its war chest.

OUR VIEW
Ready demand for affordable housing in Perak and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. VIHB’s interest in affordable housing segment comes as no surprise as the State Government of Perak has announced in January 2016, the rolling out of 10,000 units of affordable housing by 2018. The Perak Housing Department currently has a waiting list of more than 12,000 applicants for its affordable housing schemes. Another example is Terengganu, which has a waiting list of 56,000 applicants since end of 2015.
Recommendation. We reaffirm our BUY recommendation with a TP of RM0.63 per share based on FY17 sum-of- parts (SOP) methodology on an implied prospective PER of 13x which is on the lower end of our small to mid-cap construction PER range of 10x-14x (+1.3SD above the mean of 12).

MIDF corporate update 18/10/2016

Vivocom International Holdings Berhad Entry into Affordable Housing
INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
• We recently visited Mr. Choo Seng Choon, Executive Director of Vivocom International Holdings (VIHB)
• The visit unveiled compelling risk/reward narrative
• FY16/FY17 earnings estimates intact supported by growing
and diversified orderbook
• We maintain our BUY recommendation with a TP of RM0.63
The key takeaways from the visit are as follow:
Balance sheet strength. We believe that VIHB presents a compelling risk/reward opportunity amidst the pressured share price. Its orderbook of RM3.5bn is at all time high or approximately 48-month orderbook backlog (38x FY15 construction revenue cover which is the highest in our coverage). Premised on its FY15 working capital/net income cover of 12.1x and diligent FY15 working capital/orderbook cover of 0.03x, we view that VIHB’s balance sheet fundamental strength is set to outweigh the risk of heavy orderbook execution.
Diversifying project portfolio. VIHB management aspires to diversify its project portfolio and improves its working capital (Figure 1) via affordable housing projects. While an affordable housing project generally provides lower single-digit margin for contractors, nonetheless it generates orderbook backlog for longer-term as well as tighter contractual obligations. This would help to match VIHB’s total construction revenue and earnings with cash inflows from predictable progress billings.
Entry into affordable housing segment will support earnings.
The recently clinched Kinta Valley and Tronoh affordable housing projects are crucial as a learning curve to provide experience in value engineering, traction of gaining tender advantage and wide content application of industrialised building system (IBS) in constructing affordable housing units. VIHB is upbeat especially in East Coast of Malaysia where the demand of affordable housing exceeds supply. VIHB’s management has indicated an expanding IBS content for building construction citing cost advantage as well as time savings as primary drivers.
FY16/FY17 earnings estimates intact. Altogether, we reiterate our earnings projections which are underpinned by a growing orderbook of c.15.0% which will swell to more than RM4.0bn based on affordable housing projects that VIHB has tendered.

Vivocom’ entry into affordable housing will support earnings
October 19, 2016, Wednesday Sharon Kong, sharonkong@theborneopost.com


KUCHING: Vivocom International Holdings Bhd’s (Vivocom) entry into the affordable housing market will support earnings, the research arm of MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research) observes, given that there is ready demand for affordable housing in Perak and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

According to MIDF Research in a corporate update, Vivocom management aspires to diversify the group’s project portfolio and improves its working capital via affordable housing projects.

“While an affordable housing project generally provides lower single-digit margin for contractors, nonetheless it generates orderbook backlog for longer-term as well as tighter contractual obligations,” the research arm said.

“This would help to match Vivocom’s total construction revenue and earnings with cash inflows from predictable progress billings.”

MIDF Research highlighted that the recently clinched Kinta Valley and Tronoh affordable housing projects are crucial as a learning curve to provide experience in value engineering, traction of gaining tender advantage and wide content application of industrialised building system (IBS) in constructing affordable housing units.

“Vivocom is upbeat especially in East Coast of Malaysia where the demand of affordable housing exceeds supply,” the research arm said.

It added that Vivocom’s management has indicated an expanding IBS content for building construction citing cost advantage as well as time savings as primary drivers.

In MIDF Research’s view, Vivocom’s interest in affordable housing segment comes as no surprise as the State Government of Perak has announced in January 2016, the rolling out of 10,000 units of affordable housing by 2018.

“The Perak Housing Department currently has a waiting list of more than 12,000 applicants for its affordable housing schemes.

“Another example is Terengganu, which has a waiting list of 56,000 applicants since end of 2015,” the research arm noted.

Meanwhile, on the strength on the group’s balance sheet, MIDF Research believed that Vivocom presents a compelling risk/reward opportunity amidst the pressured share price.

Vivocom’s orderbook of RM3.5 billion is at all time high or approximately 48-month orderbook backlog (38-fold financial year 2015 (FY15) construction revenue cover which is the highest in the research arm’s coverage).

Premised on the group’s FY15 working capital/net income cover of 12.1-fold and diligent FY15 working capital/orderbook cover of 0.03-fold, the research arm viewed that Vivocom’s balance sheet fundamental strength is set to outweigh the risk of heavy orderbook execution.

On to its FY16/FY17 earnings estimates, MIDF Research has altogether reiterated earnings projections which are underpinned by a growing orderbook of circa 15 per cent which will swell to more than RM4 billion based on affordable housing projects that Vivocom has tendered.

MIDF Research has also reaffirmed its ‘buy’ recommendation with a target price of RM0.63 per share based on FY17 sum-of-parts (SOP) methodology on an implied prospective price earnings ratio (PER) of 13-fold which is on the lower end of the research arm’s small to mid-cap construction PER range of 10-fold to 14-fold (up 1.3 standard deviation above the mean of 12).

Calvintaneng, your warning of chasing high is very good reminder.

As again same old principal buy low n sell high. But when is lowest price u never know? . Again it's go back fundamental of the company. Whether is the company in the middle turnaround plan of generate more revenue and order book. As long this company generate more revenue, eventually the share price should back to its fair value. Chasing high not a right move, but of u are right in chasing low, u will double own profits. Good luck!

Vivocom’ entry into affordable housing will support earnings
October 19, 2016, Wednesday Sharon Kong, sharonkong@theborneopost.com


KUCHING: Vivocom International Holdings Bhd’s (Vivocom) entry into the affordable housing market will support earnings, the research arm of MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research) observes, given that there is ready demand for affordable housing in Perak and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

According to MIDF Research in a corporate update, Vivocom management aspires to diversify the group’s project portfolio and improves its working capital via affordable housing projects.

“While an affordable housing project generally provides lower single-digit margin for contractors, nonetheless it generates orderbook backlog for longer-term as well as tighter contractual obligations,” the research arm said.

“This would help to match Vivocom’s total construction revenue and earnings with cash inflows from predictable progress billings.”

MIDF Research highlighted that the recently clinched Kinta Valley and Tronoh affordable housing projects are crucial as a learning curve to provide experience in value engineering, traction of gaining tender advantage and wide content application of industrialised building system (IBS) in constructing affordable housing units.

“Vivocom is upbeat especially in East Coast of Malaysia where the demand of affordable housing exceeds supply,” the research arm said.

It added that Vivocom’s management has indicated an expanding IBS content for building construction citing cost advantage as well as time savings as primary drivers.

In MIDF Research’s view, Vivocom’s interest in affordable housing segment comes as no surprise as the State Government of Perak has announced in January 2016, the rolling out of 10,000 units of affordable housing by 2018.

“The Perak Housing Department currently has a waiting list of more than 12,000 applicants for its affordable housing schemes.

“Another example is Terengganu, which has a waiting list of 56,000 applicants since end of 2015,” the research arm noted.

Meanwhile, on the strength on the group’s balance sheet, MIDF Research believed that Vivocom presents a compelling risk/reward opportunity amidst the pressured share price.

Vivocom’s orderbook of RM3.5 billion is at all time high or approximately 48-month orderbook backlog (38-fold financial year 2015 (FY15) construction revenue cover which is the highest in the research arm’s coverage).

Premised on the group’s FY15 working capital/net income cover of 12.1-fold and diligent FY15 working capital/orderbook cover of 0.03-fold, the research arm viewed that Vivocom’s balance sheet fundamental strength is set to outweigh the risk of heavy orderbook execution.

On to its FY16/FY17 earnings estimates, MIDF Research has altogether reiterated earnings projections which are underpinned by a growing orderbook of circa 15 per cent which will swell to more than RM4 billion based on affordable housing projects that Vivocom has tendered.

MIDF Research has also reaffirmed its ‘buy’ recommendation with a target price of RM0.63 per share based on FY17 sum-of-parts (SOP) methodology on an implied prospective price earnings ratio (PER) of 13-fold which is on the lower end of the research arm’s small to mid-cap construction PER range of 10-fold to 14-fold (up 1.3 standard deviation above the mean of 12).

Vivocom’ entry into affordable housing will support earnings
October 19, 2016, Wednesday Sharon Kong, sharonkong@theborneopost.com


KUCHING: Vivocom International Holdings Bhd’s (Vivocom) entry into the affordable housing market will support earnings, the research arm of MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd (MIDF Research) observes, given that there is ready demand for affordable housing in Perak and East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

According to MIDF Research in a corporate update, Vivocom management aspires to diversify the group’s project portfolio and improves its working capital via affordable housing projects.

“While an affordable housing project generally provides lower single-digit margin for contractors, nonetheless it generates orderbook backlog for longer-term as well as tighter contractual obligations,” the research arm said.

“This would help to match Vivocom’s total construction revenue and earnings with cash inflows from predictable progress billings.”

MIDF Research highlighted that the recently clinched Kinta Valley and Tronoh affordable housing projects are crucial as a learning curve to provide experience in value engineering, traction of gaining tender advantage and wide content application of industrialised building system (IBS) in constructing affordable housing units.

“Vivocom is upbeat especially in East Coast of Malaysia where the demand of affordable housing exceeds supply,” the research arm said.

It added that Vivocom’s management has indicated an expanding IBS content for building construction citing cost advantage as well as time savings as primary drivers.

In MIDF Research’s view, Vivocom’s interest in affordable housing segment comes as no surprise as the State Government of Perak has announced in January 2016, the rolling out of 10,000 units of affordable housing by 2018.

“The Perak Housing Department currently has a waiting list of more than 12,000 applicants for its affordable housing schemes.

“Another example is Terengganu, which has a waiting list of 56,000 applicants since end of 2015,” the research arm noted.

Meanwhile, on the strength on the group’s balance sheet, MIDF Research believed that Vivocom presents a compelling risk/reward opportunity amidst the pressured share price.

Vivocom’s orderbook of RM3.5 billion is at all time high or approximately 48-month orderbook backlog (38-fold financial year 2015 (FY15) construction revenue cover which is the highest in the research arm’s coverage).

Premised on the group’s FY15 working capital/net income cover of 12.1-fold and diligent FY15 working capital/orderbook cover of 0.03-fold, the research arm viewed that Vivocom’s balance sheet fundamental strength is set to outweigh the risk of heavy orderbook execution.

On to its FY16/FY17 earnings estimates, MIDF Research has altogether reiterated earnings projections which are underpinned by a growing orderbook of circa 15 per cent which will swell to more than RM4 billion based on affordable housing projects that Vivocom has tendered.

MIDF Research has also reaffirmed its ‘buy’ recommendation with a target price of RM0.63 per share based on FY17 sum-of-parts (SOP) methodology on an implied prospective price earnings ratio (PER) of 13-fold which is on the lower end of the research arm’s small to mid-cap construction PER range of 10-fold to 14-fold (up 1.3 standard deviation above the mean of 12).

CRRC confident of having the edge in bid for HSR project
October 21, 2016, Friday


CHANGSHA: China-based locomotive expert, China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), is confident it has an edge in bidding for the construction of the Kuala Lumpur – Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) project.

Luo Chongfu, vice president of CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co Ltd (CRRC ZELC), a subsidiary of CRRC, said with the result of the bidding to be announced soon, the long term relationship built via various projects with Malaysia will give it an edge.

“We have a good and solid bilateral cooperation (on behalf of) China with the Malaysian government.

“CRRC is also fully confident of providing the best technology and products.

“Industry cooperation with Malaysia is also something we highly appreciate,” he added.

Luo said the establishment of the CRRC manufacturing centre in Batu Gajah, Perak, which commenced operations in October 2015, is a clear evidence of the company’s commitment to the Malaysian market.

“What we are very interested in is, cooperation with Malaysia, in the area of transfer of knowledge in manufacturing management.

“This is why a large number of the more than 300 workers in Batu Gajah are locals,” he added.

Luo said this during a media visit to the CRRC locomotive manufacturing facility in Zhuzhou, here.

It was part of a five-day visit by the international media to the province.

The spotlight is basically on the “Intelligent Manufacturing Industry” in Hunan province.

CRRC has to date delivered no less than 300 units of products for various clients in Malaysia, comprising EMUs, TMUs and locomotives.

Meanwhile, Tidfore Heavy Equipment Group (Tidfore) takes its success in supplying port handling equipment to Kuantan Port as a stepping stone to bigger projects in Malaysia.

“We are interested in cooperating with the Malaysian government to enhance the performance of current ports or build new ones,” General Manager Daniel Zhang told a media briefing at the recently built industrial park in Xiantan.

The media visit is being hosted by the Foreign Affairs Office of the Hunan Province People’s Government and is part of a “Go Global” strategy.

As of August this year, companies from Hunan had invested in 86 countries.

They have also entered into 470 areas of international cooperation since the first overseas initiative started in 2000. — Bernama

I not like you, people pay you to write bad comments. I had a day job. For those holding Vivocom, good luck and all the best. Will stop comment for awhile.

Conman, if I want to fuck u, I don't need a second ID. Mad mad world, good job.

Right hand change left hand

Yesterday visited Vivocom office, talk to the public relationships officer. New office in jalan IPOH is former perdana petroleum bhd office. At least 5 to 6 storeys huge office comparing old taman melawati office ( now house in Harold cafe from DS yeoh franchise). Subang hitech Shah Alam office also not being used anymore. New office jalan IPOH is housing Vivocom international and Vivocom enterprises. Expansion is ongoing in Vivocom as staffs has increase due to huge orderbook. Instacom office in sarawak has been trimmed down due to smaller capacity and smaller division. Now their main business driver is contraction business. Their target remain same to be in main board next year if possible. The rest of HOA , they said just wait for announcement. Tq . Anyone can drop by have a look yourself and don't guess.

No contra player but n hold.

If wanna to buy out early morning buy q, don't put after trading start, u won't get it. Yesterday caught 0.190.

Goldentriangle bro, I have time and capital. It will happen. Let collect more if drop, my price still very low after bonus adjustment.

We understand for your losses conman. Rip

Golden, my pick from your recommendation will knm( but need longer period to RERating, anything 0.405 and below) ,comcorp ( wait 0.700), Bornoil ( any price below 0.170 buy and keep), (biohldg soon RERating but need two more quarter result). I would recommend Malton ( anything 0.630 and below) and pantech( anything 0.560 and below ) and pohuat wb( anything 0.650 and below) and waseong ( anything 0.850 and below).

Darth, you asking a conman for tips, maybe u may try follow his call cut loss now n sell all vivocom.

Golden bro, reply to your question. Assume this year 2016 Vivocom hits rm500mil revenue, and profits before tax rm100mil, will you still think Vivocom share price will maintain at 0.200? I m confident it won't. If by q4 still cannot touch 0.300, I will sell all. When Vivocom improve Pe, eps and roe, the share price will be push up according to its actual value.

AIK conman still comments, cannot tahan many Vivocom supporter. Hello, here are Vivocom supporter forum, you loss so many money in Vivocom, pls move to gadang if u so like it. Buy more gadang. Why still comment here... Hahahaha u also fall in love in Vivocom , just admit it la

its good crcc keeping winning project. but not sure vivocom can have portion of it. HSR will be next

Sales, nice to see you here.
Bruce, Tq for your welcome. Bornoil is great stock. As long they continue find gold and generate revenue, no way share cannot up. People keep said ace stock cannot make money, Bornoil will prove them wrong when it share rose to 0.300. Later they want to buy at high price.

When Vivocom reach target revenue rm500mil after q3 and q4, then I want to see what he will write later.

Agree with donfollowblindly, try read the last sentence, the motive is to promote himself rather than provide facts

Not all what he wrote is 100% correct. For short term holder , when the share price not go according to expectation, you will mention is pariah stock. But when it go up at 0.370, you mention a darling stock. If a greed blind u not profits taking, pls don't blame the stock. Blame yourself. Many company has history. The most important the company need to amend his mistake and start reconstruct urging and generate revenue. If Vivocom share price stand at 0.200 is not attractive enough, when it's go up 0.400 you will say it expensive enough.

Happy farewell. Bye ! 16,000 shareholder padan muda together no worry

Not sure who crying n everyday write damn bull shit long. No worry we understand u been hit by operator a lot. Just move on since u don't have money to buy.

Hahahahaha Elliot wave also wrongly elite wave. Why not call idiot wave. Everyday wrote whole long story. No one appreciate pun. Hahahah stop writing call. Good for you. Everything kena bashing still write

It's okay la. Once Vivocom go up, conman will disappear like disagree.
