It is better than earlier report especially from CIMB Research reported that "...Air Selangor targets to reduce SPLASH’s bulk supply rate (BSR) from RM1.37/cu m to 42 sen to 44 sen/cu m, a significant reduction of 67.9% to 69.3%...." and the assumption of HL Invest " discount with SPLASH deal (28% discount) and transaction structure (75% upfront cash payment, 25% installment),Taliworks will receive c.RM382m ". Discount receivable was 10% but the amount is over 9 years. With the 7 years of extension, the business visibility is much better. It is a positive for Taliworks.
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 23): Hong Leong Investment Bank Bhd upgraded Taliworks Corp Bhd shares to buy from hold on expectation of a special dividend from Taliworks due to better-than-expected receivable-settlement terms for its existing operations and maintenance of the Sungai Selangor Water Treatment Plant Phase 1 (SSP1).
Hong Leong analyst Yip Kah Ming wrote in a note today that Hong Leong also raised its Taliworks share target price to RM1.33 from RM1.29. Hong Leong's note today follows Taliworks' announcement on Tuesday (Aug 21) that its wholly-owned subsidiary Sungai Harmoni Sdn Bhd had on that day received from Pengurusan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Air Selangor) a letter which specified the settlement terms relating to Sungai Harmoni's outstanding receivables from its existing operations and maintenance of SSP1.
Taliworks said: "To facilitate the conclusion of the water restructuring exercise, Sungai Harmoni is requested to: (i) enter into a termination and settlement agreement with Air Selangor and Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (SPLASH) in respect of its existing operations and maintenance agreement for SSP1 (SSP1 OMA), (ii) enter into a new operations and maintenance agreement for the continued operation and maintenance of SSP1, and (iii) terminate all other existing agreements relating to the SSP1 OMA."
Today, Yip said: "We are pleasantly surprised by this announcement given lower-than-expected discount of receivables and longer concession period of new O&M agreement. Although magnitude of upfront payment is much lower than expected, overall settlement structure is still above our expectations. We expect distribution of special dividend post settlement of outstanding receivables but are uncertain of the magnitude and the structure of it."
i think all news out already. time for profit taking. Everybody was expecting a special dividend of 35 sen or more and I dont think it will pay a special dividend of more than 5 sen. Dont understand what this Hong Leong analyst is saying...10 percent discount of the receivables and the remainder pay in 9 years. I dont like this.
As Taliwork is still able to make profit/break even with this outstanding receivables issue. Now this issue is solved (will receive at least 57 mil +5.25% interest each year although it is not lump sum) + business visibility is better (7 years of extension). Highway toll concessionaire & solid waste business are quite sustainable; except the construction and engineering division need a closer look. Overall the yearly dividend of 10~12 cents should able to achieve ( previous was 8 cents; which is 2 cents quarterly even at hard time). So, the share price will soon or later reflect it actual value. Let wait for coming Q result and dividend announcement...
Taliwork had accepted the order.. Reference is made to the earlier announcement dated 21 August 2018 in relation to the letter of offer dated 21 August 2018 from Air Selangor to Sungai Harmoni (“Offer”). Unless otherwise stated, words and phrases used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the aforesaid announcement.
The Board of Directors of Taliworks wishes to announce that the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Sungai Harmoni has on 27 August 2018 resolved to accept the Offer from Air Selangor.
Sungai Harmoni expects to commence negotiations with Air Selangor to finalise the terms and conditions for the Termination and Settlement Agreement and the New Operations and Maintenance Agreement (collectively as the “Agreements”) to be executed by the parties. An appropriate announcement will be released in due course upon the execution of the Agreements.
As Gamuda also accepted the offer from Air Selangor. So, to get back the outstanding receivables is certain and hopefully a special dividend will declare very soon.
Taliworks’s 1HFY18 earnings of RM37.3m (-10% YoY) were within both our and consensus estimates. YTD core PATAMI decreased due to lower contribution from construction segment and share of losses from associate. Taliworks has accepted new O&M contract offer for SSP1 from Air Selangor and management guided that the whole water consolidation exercise should be completed by 1st January 2019 if everything goes on schedule. Settlement sum for outstanding receivables is about RM650m (54 cents per share) which is 8% higher than our original estimates. Maintained forecast. Maintain BUY rating with higher SOP driven TP of RM1.66 (from RM1.33) after we removed the 20% discount on our SOP valuation in view of clearer earnings prospect and potential of higher dividend From HL Investment

Taliworks said the bonus issue will be wholly capitalised from its share premium account at 20 sen per bonus share.
