BAD NEWS: NOT WORKING DUE TO SHARKS WANT TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY

GOOD NEWS: Ekuinas Berhad invested in Mizou whom owner recently became largest Dataprep shareholder.

Kwok has strategically maneuvered to expand his influence and business holdings significantly. In December 2022, Techbond announced plans to acquire a 100% stake in MAC. The vendor of the 99.57% stake in MAC was Chemquest Sdn Bhd, which is owned 55% by PPB and 45% by Kuok Brothers. This acquisition was a calculated move to consolidate and expand Techbond's market position.

Following Techbond's takeover of MAC, Kwok invested in a 15% stake in Techbond. This investment strengthens Kwok's influence within Techbond, creating a synergistic cycle that enhances both his and Techbond's business prospects. The strategic acquisitions and investments ensure maximized profits and continued business expansion. Kwok's growing influence and business acumen significantly impact the company's profitability and market position, driving further growth and success.

Pang is quick to point out that since the restructuring, FSBM has achieved organic profitability for six consecutive quarters after it started focusing on smart manufacturing technology. As at March 31, 2024, the company boasts a net cash position of RM13.22 million.

Its first-quarter results for 2024 show promise, notching up a net profit of RM654,000 on the back of RM3.38 million revenue, compared with the previous year’s RM217,000 net profit on RM3.11 million revenue.

For 1QFY2024, its earnings per share came in at 0.14 sen. Assuming 20% quarter-on-quarter earnings growth in the remaining three quarters, FSBM’s estimated EPS will be 0.168 sen in 2QFY2024, 0.20 sen in 3QFY2024 and 0.24 sen in 4QFY2024. The annual estimated EPS will be 0.748 sen, implying the stock is trading at forecast price-earnings ratio of 43.45 times.

While acknowledging challenges in getting companies to adopt IoT and AI, Pang emphasises FSBM’s client-centric approach, tailoring services to address specific needs. He emphasises the cost-saving benefits and is keen to educate potential clients on the importance of such systems. FSBM is also actively seeking partnerships to further enhance its offerings.

“First, we need to understand their pain points,” Pang explains. “IoT allows manufacturers to achieve optimal machine performance through a more systematic and automated approach. Previously, any machine issues were only detected manually at later stages. Through IoT, they can immediately identify problems with each machine based on its output.

“Because, at the end of the day it is more costly for manufacturers to run inefficiently. We need to educate more companies to understand the importance of having these systems in place,” says Pang who is optimistic that FSBM could continue with its FY2023 performance this year driven by its smart manufacturing business.

He acknowledges the nascent stage of data centre development in Malaysia but expresses confidence that providing solutions for this sector will be a game changer for the group. “For the data centre, it is still in the early stage of development in Malaysia. But, we are working on providing the solutions for them, for instance our collaboration with T-Parus and Unitrade, which will be a game changer for the group.”

Malaysia currently hosts over 40 operational data centres, each with capacities ranging from 100mw to 150mw. However, upcoming projects indicate an anticipated additional capacity of 1,400mw over the next five to 10 years, driven by low land and energy costs.

Previously, when FSBM was the sole distributor of Fujitsu products in Malaysia, it relied on the government for most of its contracts. Subsequently, its revenue became stagnant and, worse, losses began to pile up.

Founded by Datuk Tan Hock San, 71, currently a non-independent and non-executive director, FSBM slipped into PN17 status in 2019 after its external auditor flagged its financial statements due to insufficient audit evidence. Tan now holds only 2,400 shares in the company, which is less than 0.01%. He ceased to be a substantial shareholder of FSBM in March 2022.

Over the past five years, the company worked on a regularisation plan, which was completed in December 2023, after it raised some RM12 million through a rights issue. During the fundraising exercise, Dagang Nexchange Bhd (KL:DNEX) executive chairman Tan Sri Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mamed Tahir emerged as a substantial shareholder after acquiring 30 million shares or a 12.68% stake in FSBM.

At the same time, Pang and FSBM’s chief technology officer Low Kang Wei also increased their stakes in the company during the corporate exercise. Pang’s shareholding in the company increased to 7.94% or 18.79 million shares after the acquisition of 16 million shares in FSBM, while Low purchased 14 million shares or a 5.92% stake. The duo are estimated to have forked out RM1.28 million and RM1.12 million respectively.

Pang first emerged in FSBM in October 2021, when he was appointed as an executive director in the company. He later emerged as a shareholder after converting his warrants to 2.79 million shares, or a 1.86% stake, in May 2022. Pang was then redesignated as managing director in May this year.

FSBM’s share price has slipped from 43 sen apiece at the time it exited PN17 to last Thursday’s close of 32 sen, which translates into a market capitalisation of RM157.9 million.

FSBM currently supports 80 small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. “Our next step is to scale our solutions to larger manufacturing companies, particularly those in the semiconductor sector,” Pang says.

Recognising the potential of AI in the country, FSBM is positioning itself as a facilitator for AI adoption. The group is in advanced talks with a US-based technology company to become a distributor of its AI hardware and software solutions.

“This aligns with the ongoing development of data centres in Malaysia and the government’s initiatives to advance the value chain of the domestic semiconductor sector,” says Pang, declining to reveal the US company’s name because the negotiations are ongoing. He expects to close the deal as early as the end of July.

Already, FSBM has been working with several companies to expand its technology solutions portfolio.

Last month, the group signed an exclusive distribution agreement with T-Parus Trading Co Ltd, a Taiwan-based company, for its voltage surge protectors (VSPs). The technology is known for its multifunctional capabilities and ensures uninterrupted power supply, safeguarding sensitive electronic equipment from damage.

“T-Parus is a leading supplier of advanced systems specifically for the Taiwanese semiconductor industry,” says Pang. “We are honoured to represent their innovative solutions in Malaysia. VSPs are critical for maintaining operational continuity and protecting sensitive equipment, especially as Malaysia aims towards advanced packaging in the semiconductor sector. Additionally, uninterrupted power supply is essential for data centre operations.”

Among T-Parus’ clients in Taiwan are semiconductor giants such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, ASE Technology Holding Co and Siliconware Precision Industries.

At the signing, FSBM forged a collaboration with Unitrade Industries Bhd (KL:UNITRAD) to expand the market reach of VSP and energy-saving compressors to commercial and industrial customers across Southeast Asia.

“We understand that Unitrade is already providing steel pipes for data centres, this is where we can work with them to enhance the product offerings,” Pang says.

AFTER nearly five years as a Practice Note 17 (PN17) company, FSBM Holdings Bhd (KL:FSBM) exited financially distressed status in mid-June when Bursa Malaysia green-lit its submission.

The main-market listed company is a different entity now, having undergone a significant transformation in recent years, says Pang Kiew Kun, who is the company’s new managing director.

FSBM has pivoted its business model to providing software-based technology solutions, primarily targeting the manufacturing and semiconductor sectors. Previously, it was the sole distributor of Fujitsu products in Malaysia.

“FSBM is a completely different company now,” Pang explains in an interview with The Edge. “We have become an asset-light business, offering software solutions that encompass the Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics and support services specifically for the semiconductor industry.

“We plan to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into our offerings soon. While I’m cautious about overusing terms like IoT and AI, these are crucial components for local manufacturers to improve operational efficiency, aligning perfectly with Industry 4.0 goals.”

Difficult to say, they are now embarking into Oil and Gas too. It would be very strong , if it is genuine business

"IN JUNE 25, MANAGEMENT OF FSBM INDICATE THIS. READ BETWEEN THE LINE" KUALA LUMPUR (June 25): IT company FSBM Holdings Bhd (KL:FSBM) expects its earnings for the current financial year to outperform the previous year, on the back of rising demand for its products and services.FSBM focuses on artificial intelligence-driven solutions, Internet of Things (IOT) integration, and cybersecurity, which position the company to tap into the current rising demand, its managing director Pang Kiew Kun said. FSBM is also working with a Taiwanese firm to sell and service voltage sag protectors, he noted.“We are a software-based company; once we install the products, we can provide added value to customers by providing data analysis such as monitoring the energy consumption for factories,” Pang told reporters after the company’s annual general meeting (AGM) on Tuesday.For the financial year ended December 2023 (FY2023), FSBM reported a net profit of RM1.94 million, on the back of RM12.84 in revenue. The company kicked off FY2024 with an over three-time jump in net profit to RM654,000 in the first quarter ended March 31, 2024 (1QFY2024).Since then, FSBM exited the Practice Note 17 (PN17), a status for financially-distressed companies, last Friday (June 21), after fixing its conditions. The company has also signed an exclusive agency contract with T-Parus Trading Co, Ltd to sell and service its voltage sag protector.
The company is working with two semiconductor companies based in Penang to test out the voltage sag protector and system, Pang said.FSBM slipped into PN17 on Dec 30, 2019, after its external auditor Moore Stephens PLT flagged its financial statements for the financial year ended June 30, 2018 (FY2018) for insufficient appropriate evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion.Moore Stephens also noted that FSBM’s financial statements were prepared on the assumption that the group would continue to operate as a going concern while the company was incurring a net loss of RM4.66 million for FY2018. The company changed its financial year in 2019.At 3.15pm on Tuesday, FSBM’s share price went up 1.5 sen or 4.5% to 34.5 sen, bringing the group a market capitalisation of RM170 million.

OCK To Gain From Second 5G Network Rollout
By Editor -February 5, 2024

Kenanga believes OCK does not intend to slow down the expansion of its tower portfolio after having achieved its target of owning 5,300 towers across Malaysia, Myanmar and Vietnam. Moving forward, the house notes in the near-to-medium term, the group targets to secure additional telco towers in the following markets, Malaysia: 150-200, and Vietnam: 500. It said the group is on track to attain the latter, after having secured approval to acquire an additional 120 towers in Vietnam recently.

Meanwhile, in terms of geographical expansion, OCK is mulling over the option to apply for a tower license in Laos. This may potentially be the next frontier for OCK following its previous ventures to Myanmar (2015) and Vietnam (2017). Riding on 5G roll-out momentum in Malaysia, OCK is expected to continue to benefit from sustained deployment of the first 5G network
in Malaysia. This would be via involvement in the roll-out of an additional estimated 2,500 5G sites in 2024 (2023: c. 5,000 sites). Moving forward, for Malaysia’s upcoming second 5G network, Kenanga believes that OCK may also gain from: (i) co-location at its existing tower sites, and (ii) construction of new build-to-suit (BTS) towers. This is underpinned by OCK’s track record and involvement in the successful roll-out of 5G sites for the first network. Furthermore, the house adds that new BTS sites are required to expand Malaysia’s 5G coverage footprint.

The group is also eyeing 5G in Indonesia as well, looking at 15%-20% topline growth in Indonesia, largely driven by higher scope of works for network-managed services (NMS). Additionally, to a smaller extent, the group expects growth to be boosted by new fiberisation contracts. To recap, in 3QCY23, OCK’s market share of NMS in Indonesia dwindled QoQ to circa 29%, based on coverage of 32,125 sites (2QFY23: 45%; 49,200 sites). This was partly due to consolidation and rationalisation of tower sites by Indosat to avoid duplication. This was after the latter’s merger with Hutchison 3 to form the second largest telco operator in Indonesia.

On the bright side, NMS contract values have increased due to wider job scopes that include enhanced ‘comprehensive and active” components. As such, this translates to margin expansion and hence higher profitability. Moving forward, OCK expects the award of higher value job orders to sustain, particularly if Indonesia ramps up the roll- out of 5G. At this juncture, according to OpenSignal, Indonesia’s 5G network availability is 1%, which implies significant room for expansion.

Bottom Line Boost

OCK is aggressively bidding for new projects to replenish its order book, which amounts to circa RM278m as at end-Sept 2023. Amongst others, this includes: (i) a large scale solar power plant in East Malaysia, and (ii) contracts to provide 5G solutions in Malaysia (e.g. installation of systems that apply artificial intelligence such as smart CCTV networks). Hence, these new contracts are expected to boost FY24 bottomline, alongside expected interest cost savings. To recap, in end Nov 2023, OCK issued the first tranche (RM400m) for its RM700m Sukuk Murabahah program (MARC rating: AA-). In Jan 2024, OCK utilized the sukuk proceeds to refinance or pare down the bulk of its USD-denominated debt. As a result, the group expects to recognize quarterly interest savings of RM1.5m-2.0m.

In spite of the ongoing political upheaval at Myanmar, it is business-as-usual for OCK’s operations at Myanmar. Moreover, lease payments for its towers billed to local mobile network operators (e.g. MyTel) remain timely. As such, this dispels concerns that OCK may need to recognize impairments on its assets in Myanmar, which has estimated book value of USD100m. Nevertheless, OCK does not intend to increase its investments in Myanmar until the political situation stabilizes. Whilst there are some restrictions on the repatriation of funds from Myanmar, the group remains unperturbed, as it intends to plough back its profits into the market.

Consistent dividends in future? The group alluded to the possibility that it may formulate a new dividend policy in
the near term. In addition, moving forward, OCK targets to declare dividends once every year. This is underpinned by:
(i) robust operating cash flows, (ii) a firm balance sheet, and (iii) enhanced liquidity from its new sukuk program. For
the same reasons, OCK does not plan to secure equity funding for expansion in the near-to-medium term. To recap,
in recent years, OCK paid dividends sporadically, including in FY17 (0.9 sen) and FY21 (0.5 sen).
