SINGAPORE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. Unemployment is very low. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly of consumer electronics, information technology products, medical and optical devices, pharmaceuticals, and on its vibrant transportation, business, and financial services sectors.

The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but has continued to grow since 2010. Growth in 2014-17 was slower than during the previous decade, at under 3% annually, largely a result of soft demand for exports amid a sluggish global economy and weak growth in Singapore’s manufacturing sector.

The government is attempting to restructure Singapore’s economy by weaning its dependence on foreign labor, addressing weak productivity growth, and increasing Singaporean wages. Singapore has attracted major investments in advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology production and will continue efforts to strengthen its position as Southeast Asia's leading financial and technology hub. Singapore is a member of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership negotiations with the nine other ASEAN members plus Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. In 2015, Singapore formed, with the other ASEAN members, the ASEAN Economic Community.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

Profitability

Turnover

:

Decreased

[

2013 - 2017

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Acceptable

[

13.36%

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

5.13%

]

The continuous fall in turnover could be due to the lower demand for the Subject's products / services.The management had succeeded in turning the Subject into a profit making company. The profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. The Subject's management had generated acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets.

Working Capital Control

Unfavourable

[

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

33 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

28 Days

]

The Subject 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 Subject. The Subject had a favourable creditors' ratio where the Subject could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.68 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.31 Times

]

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

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Unfavourable

[

1.18 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.45 Times

]

The Subject's interest cover was low. If its profits fall or when interest rate rises, it  may not be able to meet all its interest payment. The Subject was highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The Subject was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the Subject will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the Subject has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the Subject's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

Overall Assessment :

Although the Subject's turnover decreased, its losses also decreased during the year. This could be the result of more efficient control in its operating costs. Due to its weak liquidity position, the Subject 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 Subject. If there is a fall in the Subject's profit or any increase in interest rate, the Subject may not be able to generate sufficient cash-flow to service its interest. The Subject's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : LIMITED

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

In the first quarter of 2017, manufacturing output rose by 8.0%, following the increase of 11% in the previous quarter. The robust performance of the sector was underpinned by sustained growth in the electronics, precision engineering and chemicals clusters. For the whole year of 2016, the manufacturing sector grew by 3.6%, a reversal from the 5.1% contraction in the previous year.

The electronics cluster increased by 33% in the first quarter, largely driven by the semiconductors segment, which saw its output surge by 50%. The strong performance of the semiconductors segment can be attributed to the continued recovery in global semiconductors demand, driven in turn by healthy demand in key end markets such as smartphone and automotive applications. At the same time, the other electronic modules & components and computer peripherals segments grew by 9.0% and 1.2% respectively. For the full year of 2016, the electronics cluster expanded by 16%.

Besides, biomedical manufacturing cluster contracted by 7.5% in the first quarter of 2017. Within the cluster, the medical technology segment recorded robust growth of 14%, supported by higher export demand for medical instruments. However, this was outweighed by a 14% decline in the output of the pharmaceuticals segment as the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients fell. For 2016 as a whole, the biomedical manufacturing cluster expanded by 14%, with both the pharmaceuticals and medical technology segments supporting growth.

In the first quarter of 2017, output of the transport engineering cluster fell by 11%, dragged down by the marine & offshore engineering (M&OE) segment. This more than offset expansions in the aerospace (10%) and land (7.0%) segments. The aerospace segment, in particular, was supported by an increase in demand for aircraft and engine maintenance work. For the whole year of 2016, the transport engineering cluster contracted by 18%.

The precision engineering cluster expanded by 19% in the first quarter of 2017, supported by both the machinery & systems (M&S) and precision modules & components (PMC) segments. Output in the M&S segment rose by 24 % on the back of robust export demand for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. Meanwhile, the PMC segment grew by 11% due to an increase in the production of dies, moulds, tools, jigs & fixtures, optical instruments and metal precision components. In 2016, the precision engineering cluster’s output rose by 0.8%.

Moreover, output of the general manufacturing industries shrank by 6.7% in the first quarter 2017. In particular, the output of the miscellaneous industries segment fell by 12% due to a decline in the production of fibre glass products and construction-related products & materials. The printing segment contracted by 21%, as demand for commercial printing remained weak and the food, beverage & tobacco segment expanded by 3.2%, supported by healthy export demand. For the full year 2016, the general manufacturing industries contracted by 2.5%.

The output of the chemicals cluster increased by 2.9% in the first quarter of 2017 supported primarily by growth in the petrochemicals (9.8%) and specialty chemicals (2.9%) segments. Growth in the petrochemicals segment was partly the result of a low base effect as production levels a year ago were weak due to plant maintenance shutdowns. On the other hand, the other chemicals segment contracted to 5.6% on account of a lower level of production of fragrances. For the full year 2016, the chemicals cluster contracted by 0.9 per cent. This was due to a decline in the output of the petrochemicals segment arising from major plant maintenance shutdowns, even as the output of all other segments expanded.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH

Its business position in the market is quite stable and it is expected to enjoy better market shares over its rivals. The Subject is a large entity with strong capital position of SGD 200,025,000. We are confident with the Subject's business and its future growth prospect. Having strong support from its holding company has enabled the Subject to remain competitive despite the challenging business environment.

Over the years, the Subject has established an extensive clientele base in the market. Besides catering to the local market, the Subject has penetrated into other countries. With the contribution of both local and overseas customers, the Subject is likely to be exposed to lower commercial risk. Hence, we believe that the Subject has better business expansion opportunities in the future.

Its future prospects seem to be fairly good as its business operations are running relatively stable. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject.

Despite the lower turnover, the Subject's pre-tax profit have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to better control of its operating costs and efficiency in utilising its resources. Return on shareholders' funds of the Subject was at an acceptable range which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. Due to its weak liquidity position, the Subject may face working capital deficiency in meeting its short term financial obligations if no fresh capital are injected into the Subject. The high gearing ratio clearly implied that the Subject was supported by more debt than equity. Thus, the Subject is exposed to high financial risk. Given a positive net worth standing at SGD 191,601,000, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.

The Subject's supplier are from both the local and overseas countries. This will eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials. Overall the Subject has a good control over its resources.

The Subject's payment habit is average. With its adequate working capital, the Subject should be able to pay its short term debts.

The industry has reached its maturity stage and only enjoying a marginal growth. The steady growth of the country's economy will further enhance the industry activities. Thus, the Subject's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market.

Based on the above condition, we recommend credit be granted to the Subject normally.
