Yup, exactly. So this small divestment will be a rough gauge of how much the standalone tower SEA business would be worth once it goes for listing. Hopefully more upside to come. Huat!
OCK-SEATH in Vietnam is the largest TowerCo segment, which constitute about 2600 towers. If its divested, OCK can use the proceeds to pare down its debt of RM500 M.
It is hopeful the new investor(s) from the private placement is established, this may boost the shareholders' profile. With new funds, and strict "selection criteria", it is hopeful the concession assets is SUSTAINABLE, the key criteria for new era fund managers that emphasis on ESG and SRI.
-A+A CYBERJAYA (Sept 5): The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said the RM21.6 billion estimated budget for the National Fiberisation and Connectivity Plan (NFCP) will be half funded by the Universal Service Provision (USP) fund, while the other half will be funded by the capital expenditure (capex) of telecommunications companies (telcos) in Malaysia.
At a media briefing today, MCMC chairman Al-Ishsal Ishak further clarified about the budget of the NFCP — to be launched on Sept 19 — and pointed out that licensees pay 6% of their topline to the USP fund, while telcos have already planned their capex.
"This issue has been politicised and society is so engrossed in finding mistakes. Looking at our plans under the NFCP and based on certain assumptions on the number of towers and kilometres of fibre optics to be developed, we came up with the RM21.6 billion figure after discussions with the telcos," he said.
Al-Ishsal said the RM21.6 billion is a "ballpark figure" and that the commission will refine the figure in its upcoming quarterly reports on the NFCP, starting next year.
He further explained that the USP fund is a trust fund managed by the commission, which will be financing about half of the estimated investment requirement to execute the initiatives under NFCP.
As at 2017, the USP fund has about RM8 billion to RM9 billion, with about RM4 billion to RM5 billion committed for the NFCP.
The updated numbers will be announced in the 2018 report, which Al-Ishsal said will be published soon.
The fund is necessary, he said, in order to ensure coverage for underserved areas.
"The fund will be covering the operating expenditure for the towers, until they become commercially viable. If the fund is not in place, some areas will probably never see improvement in coverage, as telcos will not set up towers there," he said.
Besides setting up new towers, the commission also looks at optimising resources, such as in locations where there are multiple towers serving a relatively small area.
"In Tawau, for example, there is a large amount of towers serving a small population, as each telco has its own tower. This is not only an eyesore but is also wasting foreign exchange, as these towers require steel to be imported for construction, which results in unnecessary costs.
"We are encouraging telcos to share their infrastructure to make sure that things run more efficiently and costs are optimised," Al-Ishsal said. 11/10/2019 1:18 PM

Fund use to built TOWERS ...OCK is more expertise n experience ...NOT NETX....
That's very encouraging for green energy company to invest into this sector. Improve margin. Hopefully OCK will get some green energy projects. PP timing is just right. Assuming equity portion is RM50m (30%), the balance can get loan of up to RM167m (70%) so will have a sizeable green energy project.

12)w Under 2 of core business.. Refer financial report ;
This segment’s revenue of RM0.35 million in current year to-date, lower as compared to preceding year to-date of RM4.59 million as the current year to-date’s revenue were the remaining balance of progress billings from the contract secured in year 2017. The gross loss in the corresponding quarter in previous year and previous year to-date was mainly due to higher actual cost than initial projected cost on the contract secured in 2017.
2018 n 2019 no contract order...2019 revenue RM 0.35 MILLION of progress billing from the contract secured in year 2017...??? You mean 2018 n 2019 no DIGITAL INFRAR INTALLATION IN MALAYSIA???OPCOM stop FiBER OPTIC CABLE PRODUCTION in june2017 till june 2019...???Haha..
X That mean NETX lose to their competitors for 2 years or the management just makan angin....kira kiri pocket kanan pocket money...
1. Debt is alright as long as it is secured with tenancy income and has long term contract.
2. Total LTL = RM300m, STL = RM190m, and Cash = RM80m @ 30 June 2019
3. LTL of RM300m is mainly ring fenced, with 5-15 years secured contracts with Telenor and major telcos in Vietnam. LTL are mainly pegged against towers in Myanmar and Vietnam (a bit of Malaysia), hence, banks has stringent loan service ratio with secured contracts. Tower assets EBITDA is RM60-70m p.a. and increasing, and why OCK worry?
4. STL of RM190m, less cash on hand of RM80m is NET is about RM110m. About 70-80% of these STL comprises of Bankers Acceptance, Revolving Credits and Project revolving credits, this means, it is secured by bank on invoices billed to customers (mainly Telcos)
5. Besides, OCK has Trade debtors of RM280m and Trade Creditors of RM120m. Net trade debts is about RM160m, to be collected. Even if you assume 90% collectible, OCK has about RM140m.
6. Towerco alone, has about RM120m turnover. Ebitda is about RM60m to RM70m, sufficient to service the banks interest and principals, and growing tenancy also provide higher revenue.
7. Btw, Towerco biz, the debt over SF is low (less than one time) against other towerco that can leverage up to 3 times.
8. High loan is bad, if you cannot pay off, totally agree. But used on good assets (repayable by sustainable long term leases, why not, once OCK hit the economical of scale for the towers + tenancy, profit and cash flow will grow. I.e. profit grows faster than revenue, and cash flow is far better than profits because of huge depreciation. i.e. depreciation is higher than maintenance cost.)
(Hopefully this help to clarify any misconceptions). If you want to worry about high debt, worry about USA twin deficit and China's debt as well.
Netx Since 2012, 85% of the qtrs making lose. If company didn't offer good salary increment and gd bonuses, will the experience staff still with the company?? mb the staff already join OCK.....
The purchase px of US$50mil from Seath was done in Jan2017. If include of inflation on business activity at 5% per annum, it will become US$58mil in the end of 2019 (assuming this business is making profit....)
US$58mil on 1980 towers = US$29k/ tower. Now hv 2,600 tower = US$75.4mil @RM4.15=RM313mil. Per share val = RM0.38???
Assets (towers) expansion last 3 years is quick. Depreciation for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019(E), RM18m, RM34m, RM37m, RM60m (E), from about 400 towers to 4,000 towers.
Despite of flat profit over last 3 years of about RM25m p.a., EBITDA has grown from RM60m to RM100m (FYE16-18), and estimated FYE19 is RM120-130m, and more importantly it is sustainable.
The continue expansion in towers (construction of 500 towers and purchase of 1,000 towers) require the spin off listing. And the expansion on green energy in a meaningful way, also needs new equity.
this director Chan in the past always like to sell but suddenly now buy big i see positive signal for share to move up... but Ooi buy and sell what signal is that?
