Other Information:


The SC is principally engaged in the (as a / as an) manufacture of oleochemicals.

The SC is under the Kuala Lumpur Kepong Bhd, a Malaysian multinational company involved in plantation, manufacturing, retailing and property development. Whilst plantation remains KLK's core business, the Group has expanded downstream into resource-based manufacturing, in particular oleochemicals, cocoa processing and rubber processing.

The SC is one of the world's largest manufacturers of palm-based oleochemical products and their derivatives, with a product portfolio covering fatty acids & glycerine, fatty amides, soap noodles & soap bars, esters, and fatty alcohols. Recent investments and acquisition activities have allowed the Group to venture further downstream into products like methyl ester sulfonate, amines, biodiesel, fine chemicals and surfactants.

The SC's products range includes fatty acids, fatty alchohol, glycerine, fatty estere, fatty animes, derivatives and surfactants.

The SC utilises advanced automated and semi-automated machineries to ensure production of high quality products.

Besides that the SC has a warehouse located at the same premises to keep stocks and materials.

FINANCIAL COMMENTS

 

Profitability:

Turnover

:

Increased

[

2008 - 2010

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

2008 - 2010

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

7.10%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

7.57%

]


The SC's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years. The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the SC's profit margin. The unfavourable return on shareholders' funds and net assets could indicate that the SC's management was inefficient in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control:

Stock Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

111 Days

]

Debtors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

49 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

14 Days

]


The SC could be incurring higher holding cost. As its capital was tied up in stocks, it could face liquidity problems. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the SC. The SC had a favourable creditors' ratio as evidenced by its favourable collection days. The SC could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

Liquidity:

Liquid Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.57 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.41 Times

]


A low liquid ratio means that the SC may be facing working capital deficiency. If the SC cannot obtain additional financing or injection of fresh capital, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

16.13 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.24 Times

]


The interest cover showed that the SC was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the SC was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The SC was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The SC was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the SC being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment:

Although the SC's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the SC's profit margin. Due to its weak liquidity position, the SC will be faced with problems in meeting all its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected into the SC. With the favourable interest cover, the SC could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The SC as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

MSIC CODE

24290 : Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c

 

 

INDUSTRY :

CHEMICAL


The chemicals industry is one of Malaysia's key industries, catering not only for its own national requirements but also exporting to a number of countries worldwide. The Malaysian chemicals and chemical products industry has become the second largest contributor to the manufactured exports sector, after the electrical and electronics industry.


The chemicals industry is important in Malaysia on account of the nation's substantial oil and gas feedstock. The Chemicals Industries Council of Malaysia (CICM) was established in 1978 as an industry group under the aegis of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, to focus on the development of the chemicals industry. The primary objective of the CICM was to organise the chemicals industry in Malaysia into a cohesive group to represent Malaysia's interest at the ASEAN Chemicals Industries Club (ACIC).


The Malaysian chemicals industry witnessed 37% growth in domestic sales value in 2004 and sustained solid growth up until mid-2008. It expanded rapidly and had been forecast to reach sales figures of MYR60,816mn by 2009.


Malaysia's balance of trade for the year January to December 2008 was MYR114,883mn. In the first five months of 2008, total trade was 11.2% up on the same period last year. These impressive figures were short-lived however, with significant decreases observed in the latter half of 2008 and early 2009, due to the impact of global economic crisis. The Industrial Production Index (IPI) in January 2009 was 20.2 % lower than it was in January 2008, following a sharp decline of 15.9% in December 2008.


The biggest drop was witnessed by chemicals and chemical products, which saw output contract by 29.9%. This is partly because the chemicals industry tends to be more sensitive to the economic cycle and so fares disproportionately badly in recessions.


Total exports are down from MYR100,115mn (US$27,858.48mn) in January-February 2008 to MYR77,856mn (US$21,662mn) in the same period of 2009. Similarly, there has been a fall in imports, with total incoming sales falling from MYR81,289mn (US$22,617mn) in January-February 2008 to MYR57,778mn (US$16,705mn) in January-February 2009.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Strong Growth



COMMENTS & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Established in 2002, the SC is a private limited company with core business in the manufacture of oleochemicals. Nowadays the SC is one of the world's largest manufacturers of palm-based oleochemical products includes fatty acids, glycerine, fatty estere, fatty animes, derivatives and surfactants. Having been in the industry for only 9 years, the SC is growing fast with a paid up capital of RM137.65 million. With a huge paid up capital and strong supported by its holding company KL-Kepong Industrial Holdings Sdn Bhd, the SC is allowed to expand its business comfortably.


Although the SC has been in the business for less than a decade, it has established an extensive marketing network to support its business operation. Being an export-oriented player where 80% products are exported to worldwide. the business risk of the SC is well-mitigated and better growth prospect can be expected. We believe that the SC is able to maintain its business in the near future as its products received encouraging demand from United States, Europe, Asia, Brazil and United Kingdom. The SC growing steadily with staff strength of 250 and its operation is overseen by its CEO,Yeow Ah Kow. Overall, the management capability of the SC is average.


In year 2010, the SC has reported total turnover and pre-tax profit of RM697.03 million and RM40.84 million respectively. Due to the lower profits, the SC has generated unfavourable return on shareholders' funds. This indicated that the management was inefficient in utilising its funds to generate income. Besides, the SC possesses a weak liquidity position and we believe that the SC may face some difficulties in meeting its short term financial obligations. Fortunately, being a lowly geared company, the SC is exposed to low financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business needs. Given a positive net worth standing at RM575.05 million, the SC should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.


We are aware that the SC's products are sourced locally and the rest are obtained from overseas market. Being involved in high export activities, the SC is exposed to high foreign currency risk.


Overall, the SC's payment habit is good as the SC has a good credit control and it could be taking advantage of the cash discounts while maintaining a good reputation with its creditors. Based on our databank, the SC is clear of any litigation action.


The chemical industry remains an important sector and a growth engine for manufacturing output. With the promising outlook of the industry performance, the SC's business potential should be favourable. Nonetheless, the SC should adopt better competitive strategies in order to sustain its business position and to compete with other well established players in the same industry.


With strong backed by its holding company, we recommend above amount of credit be granted to the SC promptly.
