"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.
This article first appeared in The Edge Malaysia Weekly on July 1, 2024 - July 7, 2024
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.”
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.
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.
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.
FSBM Holdings Bhd has shown significant progress after exiting its financially distressed PN17 status. The company has pivoted towards providing tech-driven solutions, particularly focusing on AI, IoT, and cybersecurity, which positions it well for future growth. FSBM's recent earnings reports indicate a promising outlook, with a more than threefold increase in net profit for the first quarter of FY2024 compared to the previous year.
The company is also expanding its offerings by working with semiconductor firms and introducing products like voltage sag protectors, which are critical for maintaining operational efficiency in manufacturing. This diversification and its collaboration with major players in the semiconductor industry are expected to drive its earnings in the coming months.
Given this transformation and the positive earnings trajectory, FSBM’s stock could see further appreciation over the next month, especially if it continues to capitalize on its new business model and secure additional contracts
FSBM Holdings Berhad has seen recent positive performance and strategic developments, but predicting its short-term stock movement for September 11, 2024, involves a few factors. The company has experienced revenue growth and profit improvements, particularly due to its technical support, refurbishment services, and smart manufacturing projects. In its Q1 2024 results, FSBM posted a 25% year-on-year growth in revenue, alongside a 200% increase in profit after tax, marking nine consecutive profitable quarters.
However, FSBM is still under PN17 status (a financial distress classification), although it has completed a regularization plan aimed at addressing this issue. Market sentiment around the stock could fluctuate as investors react to its ongoing PN17 recovery efforts, recent rights issues, and strategic focus on AI and cybersecurity sectors(
Keep in mind that any stock movement can also be influenced by broader market conditions. It's recommended to keep an eye on developments in the coming days and consider both technical and market factor
Yes, back tracking to flush out all small small fish like me and letting all the sharks coming in at the moment. I doubt next week FSBM can go up , but who knows.
