Uzma targets half of revenue to come from overseas

KUALA LUMPUR: Uzma Bhd is targeting 50% revenue contribution from overseas in three years as it expands its services and opens new offices abroad.
Managing director and chief executive officer Datuk Kamarul Muhamed said it planned to set up office in India and North Africa next year.
For the year ended Dec 31 (FY07), about 22% of Uzma's revenue came from overseas.
It plans to introduce new services in its existing operations in Perth, Bangkok, Jakarta and Doha, Kamarul said after Uzma's prospectus launch by Second Finance Minister Tan Sri Nor Mohamed Yakcop yesterday.
Uzma provides consultancy services under its three core businesses - geoscience and reservoir engineering, drilling, and project and operations services.
“Currently, each of our overseas operation has its own specialty. For instance, the Bangkok office focuses very much on geoscience and reservoir engineering. We want to get this office to focus on drilling services as well,” Kamarul said.
As at May 31, Uzma had RM127mil worth of contracts in hand and had tendered for RM450mil worth of projects.
In Malaysia, it has successfully completed the first chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) pilot project for a major field.
“We are moving into the third phase where we are studying implementing the CEOR field-wide,” he said, adding that the field-wide implementation was expected by 2011.Uzma, which expected to list on Bursa Malaysia second board on July 31, forecasts its FY08 revenue to increase 48.6% to RM190mil gross profit to grow by 36.1% to RM37.9mil.
Meanwhile, when asked how the current political situation was affecting the market, Nor Mohamed said the market would reflect the economic fundamentals of the country.
“Despite the challenges, our economic fundamentals are good. We are a commodities producing and exporting country and that is our strength in this higher commodity prices environment.
“Coupled with the experience of managing the economy in the past crisis, I am confident we will do well,” he said.
On the budget deficit forecast under the revised Ninth Malaysia Plan, he said the Government had successfully reduced the deficit from 5.5% in 2000 to 3.2% in 2007.
The initial forecast this year was 3.1%, but with the situation now changed, the Government could revise the deficit target but this would be announced on Aug 29 when Budget 2009 was tabled, he said.

The company said in a statement on Monday the listing exercise involved 128.37 million shares at RM1.25 each, comprising a public issue of 113.37 million new shares and offer for sale of 15 million shares.

Of the new 113.37 million shares, it would offer 28.37 million shares to the Malaysian public, 44.5 million for private placement, about 20.5 million for bumiputra investors and 20 million for eligible directors, employees and business associates.

He said the company would also ride on the buoyant upstream oil and gas industry industry and it was looking to include deep-water support services catering especially to the deep-water exploration and production activities of oil and gas industry.

“With an expanded fleet size, our group hopes to meet the increasing demand for Malaysian-owned vessels in the offshore oil and gas industry as well as offshore marine support services,” he said.

Hartalega forecasts RM55mil after-tax profit

KUALA LUMPUR: Glove maker Hartalega Holdings Bhd, which is en route to a listing on the Bursa Malaysia main board on April 17, has forecast a profit after tax and minority interests of RM55.46mil for the year ending March 31, 2009 (FY09), up from the estimated RM39.6mil in the current financial year.

According to its prospectus released yesterday, the company estimated higher operating revenue of RM396.39mil for FY09 against the estimated RM283.2mil in FY08. This would be supported by higher consumption of latex gloves, higher sales and also expansion in manufacturing capacity, it said.

Speaking at the prospectus launch yesterday, managing director Kuan Kam Hon said the company planned to expand to 43 production lines by adding two new plants by 2010 to the existing three with an investment of about RM230mil.

The three plants currently have 23 production lines capable of producing more than three billion gloves annually.

“The additional plants would increase annual production capacity to nine billion gloves,” Kuan said, adding that the plants would be financed by internally generated funds and bank borrowings.

One of the company's notable achievements is its key product, synthetic thin nitrile glove, which mimics the elastic properties of natural rubber gloves.

“The success of nitrile gloves is clearly reflected by our current sales mix of about 35% natural rubber and 65% synthetic nitrile gloves compared with the industry output for natural rubber and nitrile gloves of 80% and 20% respectively.

“This makes us the largest nitrile glove manufacturer in Malaysia,” Kuan added.

The company, which exports to 23 countries, with the largest export destination being the United States at about 70% of exports, also plans to venture to new markets in South America, Middle East, Russia, China and India.

In conjunction with its initial public offering, the company's major shareholders made an offer for sale of a 24.21million shares at RM1.80 each. Some 12.12 million shares are available to the Malaysian public and four million to eligible directors, employees and business associates.

Another 8.01 million shares are for private placement.

Demand For Set-top Boxes Attracts Ewein To India

KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 (Bernama) -- Ewein Bhd, a precision sheet metal fabricated parts maker, plans to venture into India's sheet metal fabrication market for digital satellite antennas and set-top boxes by end of this year, managing director Datuk Ewe Swee Kheng said Monday.

"As India is a vast country with a large population residing in rural areas, the demand for these products is expected to be strong, particularly for households on the outskirts of cities," he told reporters here today after launching the company's prospectus in conjunction with its proposed listing on Bursa Malaysia's Second Board.

Currently, the Ewein group exports directly and indirectly its products to Brazil, the United States, Hungary, Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Ireland, Canada and Thailand, he said.

Ewein's listing exercise, which involves the offering of 25 million existing ordinary shares of 50 sen each by MBM Resources Bhd and Hijauwasa Sdn Bhd at an issue price of 70 sen per ordinary share, is expected to raise RM17.582 million.

This involves a restricted offer sale by MBM Resources of 18 million ordinary shares in Ewein to company shareholders who are considered public.

Concurrently, Hijauwasa will make an offer for sale of seven million ordinary shares in Ewein. These shares comprise six million for the public and another one million for eligible directors and employess of the group.

Ewe said expenses incurred relating to the offer for sale will be borne by Hijauwasa and MBM Resources.

He said the group forecast a gross dividend of five percent of 2.5 sen per Ewein share based on issued and paid-up share capital of 105 million shares for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2008.

The group was considering venturing into the local automotive components market in view of the country's increasing industrialisation and expansion of the economy which will fuel the demand for automobiles, and indirectly for automotive components, by end of 2009, Ewe said.

"We are still studying the market. We may get into related metal fabrication activities as one of our major shareholders, Med-Bumikar Mara Sdn Bhd, is actively involved in the Malaysian automotive industry," he said.

The group, he added, was confident that it has the technological capabilities to venture into the automotive components market.
