Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2022/23 Interim Results

HONG KONG, Nov 25, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. ("Tat Hong" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2022 (the "Period").During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 387.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately 6.8% as compared with that for the six months ended 30 September 2021. Loss attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the period amounted to approximately RMB 41.9 million, mainly due to the one-off currency exchange loss on USD borrowings and the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic"). The overall gross profit and gross profit margin decreased to RMB75.5 million and 19.5%, respectively. The Group's total Tonne Metres (TM) in use increased from approximately 1,479,145 for the period ended 30 September 2021 to 1,577,983 for the period ended 30 September 2022. As at 30 September 2022, the Group had 292 projects in progress with a total outstanding contract value of approximately RMB 605 million and 37 projects on hand with a total expected contract value of approximately RMB 68 million. Of these projects, the Group expects to complete contract work of approximately RMB 348 million by the end of 30 September 2023, demonstrating solid earnings visibility. Despite the gradual recovery in major economies and the surge in vaccination and immunity rates, the Pandemic has put pressure on every component of the Group's industry value chain. To contain the spread of the Pandemic throughout the country, numerous cities have adopted anti-pandemic measures, such as persistent or intermittent lockdowns, and certain projects were temporarily suspended on account of these measures. From April to June 2022, the Group's economic activities in eastern China were affected to a certain extent. In the meantime, against the backdrop of interest hikes by the US Fed and global inflation, economies around the world have encountered significant instability and pressure in the first half of the year. As the external environment remains volatile, the Group strives to adjust its operational strategy, optimise its management structure, and make timely and appropriate decisions in a bid to mitigate the risks brought by the Pandemic. Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. said, "After years of the lingering Pandemic, the market remains sluggish and real estate has been severely impacted. Fortunately, the Group has optimised its business structure by placing a greater emphasis on the other business segments, reducing the real estate to approximately 30% of total revenue, which will mitigate the negative impact of the industry's downturn. In the meantime, we will shift our focus to the energy, infrastructure and public construction segments.""With the continuous introduction of favourable policies and the development direction of the 14th Five Year Plan, which includes initiatives centred on 'new infrastructure, new urbanisation and major projects' and the aim of carbon neutrality, we believe that there are unexpected opportunities emerging in the (energy) infrastructure market. With our strong reputation and expertise, we are confident about the Group's prospects."Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. concluded, "Going forward, we will use the Pandemic as an opportunity to stimulate and accelerate transformation, to accelerate the adoption and improvement of the digital platform 'iSmartCon', so as to further optimise the management of various stages of the production process. Moreover, we will focus on analysing the impact of the Pandemic on each business sector and project, reviewing and modifying strategic plans, and communicating updates with all stakeholders including suppliers, clients and employees. The Group will continue its efforts in meeting the increasing customer demands for prefabricated construction using medium and large size tower cranes, and to establish a standardised post-market service eco-system for tower cranes, with the aim of providing a sustainable foundation for a green, safe and environmentally friendly tower crane service industry value chain, while adhering to the proper safety standards and PRC prevention and control policies."About Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 2153)Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. is the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC. Since 2007, the Group has established as a tower crane service provider for one-stop tower crane solution services from consultation, technical design, commissioning, construction to after-sales services primarily to Chinese Special-tier and Tier-1 EPC contractors.

PIL Announced Nine Months 2021 Results, with Quarterly Revenue Chalking New Height

HONG KONG, Nov 1, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Pentamaster International Limited ("PIL" or "the Group") which is listed under the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited announced its interim financial results for the nine months period ended 30 September 2021 ("9M2021") today. The Group recorded a new record in its quarterly revenue, with 9M2021 revenue stood at MYR385.7 million and its net profit stood at MYR86.4 million, marking an improvement of approximately 25.1% and 9.2% respectively from the corresponding period last year.9M 2021 Financial highlightsKey business unit revenue and trendRevenue by customer's segmentFor the nine months ended 30 September 2021, the Group's revenue was contributed by both the ATE and FAS segments, with each constituting approximately 70.0% and 30.0% respectively of the Group's revenue during the Period. The ATE segment recorded an increase in revenue by MYR68.1 million to MYR271.4 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 as compared to the Previous Corresponding Period. The ATE segment, was predominantly contributed by the electro-optical segment and the automotive segment. While the electro-optical segment continued to show recovery since fourth quarter 2020, the automotive segment gained its revenue momentum in the current quarter mainly through the delivery of its test handling equipment for IPM (integrated power module), thereby closing the automotive segment's revenue during the Period with a growth rate of 21.2% as compared to the same period last year. The Group continues to see upturn in momentum from the automotive segment given the strong growth in automotive electrification and the Group's timely involvement in anchoring its position in this segment as well as geographically across key automotive markets in North Asia region and European market. In general, the global technology "super cycle" momentum will continue to provide a growth platform for the Group's ATE in the immediate term and against the backdrop of such opportunity and supply chain headwinds, the Group continues to leverage on its research and development capabilities to methodically expand its product portfolio and offerings. Revenue from the FAS segment for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 increased by approximately 2.1% from MYR116.0 million recorded in the Previous Corresponding Period to MYR118.5 million. After marking double digit growth in 2020, the growth in the FAS segment for the nine months ended 30 September 2021 returned to its normal state given the current capacity and its projects on hand which require longer project lead time coupled with the supply chain disruptions. However, it was notable to witness a wider customer base achieved within this segment during the Period, in addition to a broader project portfolio under the application of the Group's proprietary i-ARMS (intelligent Automated Robotic Manufacturing System) solutions especially from the consumer and industrial products segment and electro-optical segment. From quarter two of 2021 to quarter three of 2021, the FAS segment marked a growth of approximately 35.2% and the Group is optimistic on the growth prospects of its FAS segment. The Group continues to witness the rapid shift of various industries towards smart manufacturing and the adoption of automation technology, more so with the effect of COVID-19 pandemic where many companies are keen to accelerate the pace of automation for better operational efficiency and digitalisation. OutlookOn the back of a healthy order book which is fuelled by a robust market sentiment in the current "super cycle", the Group expects to end its financial year 2021 commendably with yearly revenue record achievement. As the Government of Malaysia and global economies lifting the various level of restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and with the impending opening up of more cross border travelling, the Group anticipates a smoother progress in its project site installation and deployment at its customer's premise, which is an important milestone for revenue recognition to take place. The widely-reported semiconductor shortage and supply chain constraints remained a pertinent concern to the global technology market. Towards this end, it is imperative for the Group to adjust its inventory management strategies as well as project lead time planning with its customers in order to effectively manage the challenging situation. As it is, the Group has been experiencing order intake momentum where customers across the industry segments are gradually preparing for higher levels of inventory to ensure supply security. Looking ahead, whilst still maintaining a cautious and observance stance, the Group anticipates a more stable and favourable operating environment as global economies' are slowly opening up with the pick-up in vaccination rate. The structural shift towards a greener Earth coupled with the proliferation of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things have accelerated the massive digital transformation across key industries such as the electro-optical, automotive, and semiconductor segment. The Group as a customised solution provider with many years of experience in this level playing field, believes it is well positioned to leverage and capture the growth from these industry megatrends where such trends will continue to sustain the Group's businesses on a long term basis. The Group's continuous focus on its 3-pillar business strategies of diversification across geographical region, business segments as well as product portfolio remains key in attaining a profitable and sustainable business operation. As it is, the Group has outlined key capital expenditure in funnelling its investment in anchoring its exposure to the rapid development in technological revolution and industrial transformation to enable the Group to seize its long term business prospects.
