From Nomura
Current order book stands at ~MYR100mn
UWC hosted an earnings call today for 1QFY21 results. Revenue of MYR71.5mn was up
52% y-y and 16% q-q due to strong demand in the semiconductor segment and
expansion in the life science segment. Higher revenue, cost efficiencies and better
product mix helped core profit rise 94% y-y and 16% q-q to MYR21.7mn. Management
highlighted that its current order book stands at ~MYR100mn (~MYR70mn last quarter).
New product launches and capacity expansion on track to handle strong demand
Management ordered 50 CNC (computer numerical control) machines, which are
expected to arrive by 1QCY21. Its cleanroom facility, to be used for front-end
semiconductor equipment assembly, will be completed by Jan-2021. To accommodate
these, the company has converted 20-25k sqft of new production space in its current
facility while leasing another 2 acres near the factory to build ~60k sqft production space
(to be ready by mid-2021). This increase in capacity is intended to support growth under
its revenue run-rate given its record high order book of MYR100mn. On the
semiconductor segment, UWC will start supplying autonomous vehicle chip testers in
1QCY21, while it is also developing a new manipulator model with its existing customer. It
has also developed new 5G radio frequency testers, currently being qualified at the
customerโs site. As for the front-end semiconductor segment, management expects
revenue to pick up (8% of 1QFY21 revenue) upon completion of its cleanroom facility. It is
also looking to venture into DRAM testers by engaging with potential customers. In life
science segment, the group has secured orders on COVID-19 testers and is now working
on the assembly of DNA analyzer with one of its customers. 1QFY21 effective tax rate
was 24%. Management believes there is room for a <20% tax rate as the company is
applying for tax incentives for some of its products. Overall, given the strong order book,
demand outlook and capacity growth, we raise FY21F-22F EPS by 17% each.
Upgrade to Buy with TP raised 50% to MYR10 (26% upside)
In addition to EPS revision, we also raise the target CY2021F P/E to 45x (35x earlier) to
factor in UWCโs strong growth outlook with EPS CAGR of ~44% for FY20-23F. With an
upside of 26%, we upgrade the stock to Buy (from Neutral). It currently trades at 36x
CY2021F P/E. Key risks include prolonged impact of COVID-19 outbreak, change in USChina trade relations, slowdown in key customersโ business, and competition.
