To calculate Cash Flow using DCF method (IRR 17% & 12% respectively)

Formula : DCF = CF1/(1+r)^1 + CF2/(1+r)^2 + ...+CFn/(1+r)^n

..................

ehome009, thanks for sharimg.

Is the above method used by MBB & PBB to determine MFCB's FCF?

Is that something standard?

Wouldnt it be more accurate using the expected outflow & inflow of cash as per the predicted timelines of the project? Meaning the 'timing' of these cash flows can differ greatly between MFCB and JHDP right?

I got the answer:
.................

Supermax has 50% of its gloves as Nitrile & 50% as Latex gloves

Comfort has 85% of its gloves as Nitrile & 15% as Latex gloves

This means Comfort has the chance of even greater margin expansion by additional up to 5% (compared to Supermax) for the qtr ending Mar 20.



Demand for gloves expected to rise

October 03, 2019

https://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/demand-gloves-expected-rise


Although we are positive on the growth in the subsequent quarters, underpinned by an uptick in nitrile demand driven by restocking activities, players like Top Glove and Supermax could continue to be plagued by competitive pressure from low-margin latex gloves (accounting for an estimated 50% of the product mix of both players), which could offset gains in the nitrile segment.

Below is extract from Supermax qtr report released today.

They stressed Nitrile raw material cost reduced 11% year on year.


................

The demand of gloves has exponentially increased this year amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. The surge in demand has resulted in a rapid rise in average selling prices (ASPs), as buyers rush to secure their supply of personal protective equipment (PPE), including medical gloves.

As a result of the outbreak, the prices of oil and raw materials have fallen. Specifically, nitrile and natural rubber material prices have decreased by 11% and 6% respectively Year-on-Year,and 7.3% and 2.5% respectively Quarter-on-Quarter.

At the same time, the USD has strengthened against the MYR, by 2.18% Year-on-Year and 0.36% Quarter-on-Quarter.

The current market conditions favour Supermax Group, and our outlook is expected to remain strong for at least the next 1.5 to 2 years, while a vaccine against COVID-19 is still under development.

Following the outbreak of COVID-19 globally, the Company is seeing the emergence of new consumers and new consumption not previously seen. The pandemic has resulted in a demand surge for PPE products, including medical gloves.

The use of these protective and infection control products has expanded beyond healthcare and frontline workers to also include the general public.

Our usual 4-month working inventory at our distribution centres were sold within 6 weeks and at higher ASPs.

Supermax Group‟s Glove Manufacturing Division is strongly positioned for this opportunity to boost earnings and expedite and its capacity expansion plans.

The Company is building 3 new factories in tandem, allowing us to capitalize on the exponential growth in demand of medical gloves.

Thank you Probability for the info. We are more certain that profits will jump a lot, not only costs, but ASP, and shortage of gloves in the international market.

We believe we have under-estimated the potential impact from higher-than-expected ASP and margins from OBM distribution amidst the current tight supply situation for gloves with buyers aggressively stockpiling critical medical supplies. Hence, we raised our FY20E/FY21E net profit by 8%/34%, to account for higher ASPs and utilisation. TP is raised from RM4.50 to RM6.00 based on unchanged 26x CY21E EPS. Reiterate OP.

Abnormal demand leading to acute shortage and higher-thanexpected ASP. We believe we have under-estimated the potential impact from higher-than-expected ASP and margins from OBM distribution at a time when supply is tight due to aggressive stockpiling of critical medical supplies of which gloves is one. The lead time has widened further from 90 days to 150-200 days indicating that demand is far outstripping supply at least over the medium-term. We highlight that Supermax’s potentially higher margins, achieved via distribution from its Own Brand Manufacturing (OBM), is greatly under-appreciated. The potentially higher margin for Supermax’s stems from its associates’ (in Brazil, Australia, Europe and Canada) distribution channels and marketing under its own brands (such as Aurelia and Maxter)., However, we are more bullish on higher ASPs in 2H 2020 due to the present tight situation of buyers jockeying for position to secure allocation.

Outlook. Plant 12 consists of Block A and Block B, each consisting of 8 double former lines with 2.2b pieces each (total 4.4b pieces). As of now, for Block A, its remaining 3 lines started commissioning in end March 2020 on top of the 5 lines already in commercial production. For Block B, all 8 lines are expected to be fully commissioned by 2H 2020. Upon full commercial production by 2H 2020, installed capacity will rise 13.4% to 26.2b pieces per annum.

Raised FY20E/FY211E net profit by 8%/34% after raising utilisation rate from 80%/93% to 85%/97%. We raise our ASP from USD23/1,000 to USD23.80/1,000 in FY20 and from USD23/1,000 to USD32/1,000 pieces in FY21.

Undemanding PER valuation of 21x compared to 80% earnings growth. Correspondingly, our TP is raised from RM4.50 to RM6.00 based on unchanged 26x CY21 revised EPS of 23.0 sen (at slightly above +2.0 SD above 5-year historical forward mean). We like Supermax because the stock is trading at an undemanding 20x FY21 EPS compared to earnings growth of 80%. Reiterate Outperform.

Kossan boss said the demand for gloves likely grow 50%.


CIMB Report said ASP increase by 5% to 30%(depending on type of gloves) this quarter, another 10% to 15% next quarter. And order lead time 10-12 months. Profit will grow very significantly next few quarters till 2021. If glove companies cannot meet demand, price will go up again after increase by about 45% in next quarter vs year 2019.

Recently Riverstone (SGX-listed Malaysia's No.5 gloves producer) quarterly result showed 50% jump in profit.
