Corporate Profile

Memtech and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) produces high-end silicone rubber, plastic and silicone rubber plastic hybrid keypads primarily for the mobile phone and automotive industries and offers a one-stop solution, beginning from the initial stage of engineering design and mould fabrication to the manufacture and assembly of the components to meet the changing needs of its customers.

Integrated Service Provider of Keypads

With its capabilities to offer one-stop solution to its customers, the Group is able to react promptly to the customers’ demands with highly customised products. Through this, it is able to cut down its customers’ time-to-market and costs of managing multiple suppliers.

Ability to Keep Abreast with Technological Innovations and Advances

“Our ability to keep up with technology is critical in this fast evolving industry. That is why we are committed to upgrade our manufacturing capabilities continuously, invest in new equipment, improve our processes and quality of our products and services, while maintaining our cost-competitiveness in meeting our customers’ increasingly sophisticated needs. Through these, we are able to ensure that our precision mould-making technologies meet our customers’ stringent standards for precision engineering and texture finishing,” commented Mr Chuang.

Strategic Location of Manufacturing Facilities in the PRC

The Group’s two manufacturing facilities are strategically located in the major mobile phone manufacturing hubs in the PRC, namely, the Pearl River Delta (Dongguan, Shenzhen and Guangzhou) and the Yangtze River Delta (Shanghai, Suzhou and Hangzhou). By locating close to its customers, the Group is able to respond quickly to its customers and lower its transportation costs. It is also able to leverage on the established supporting industries in the hub, thereby benefiting through cost and operational efficiencies.

Reputable Customer Base and Established Customer Relationships

Said Mr Chuang: “We have been able to gain a group of established customers through our ability to meet their requirements and delivering quality products and services. Today, we are proud to say that our customer base includes major mobile phone manufacturers in the PRC, such as UT-Starcom Telecom Co., Ltd, Ningbo Bird Co., Ltd, TCL Corporation, Legend Group Limited, ZTE Corporation and Dbtel Incorporation. We also count European mobile phone manufacturers such as Sagem S.A. and automotive parts manufacturer, Lepold Kostal GmbH & Co. KG as our customers.”

Financials

The Group achieved a 660% increase in revenue from S$9.0 million in FY2001 to S$68.7 million in FY2003, whilst its net profit increased more than 15 times from S$1.3 million to S$21.0 million over the same period.

MEMTECH, gkgoh put new rating BUY with target price $0.63
- Expansion programme on track. Memtech is upgrading its existing Nantong plant to add 20% capacity this year. It is also setting up a new factory in Huzhou (Zhejiang province) with an expected annual capacity of 12m units by 2005. Of the S$63m IPO proceeds, S$10m has been allocated for the upgrading of the Nantong plant and another S$10m for the new plant in Huzhou. Management believes that total capex of S$20m will be sufficient to boost its production capacity by 50% yoy by end-2005. Memtech's current production capacity is estimated at 125m keypads/year. This is set to rise to 145m by end-2004 and further to 200m by end-2005. Utilisation remains high at 80-90% on average despite the aggressive expansion of the past two years.
- Targeting MNC customers. Memtech is aggressively negotiating with several MNC mobile phone manufacturers, including leading players such as Motorola and Samsung. Memtech's increasing economies of scale have pitted it well against these MNCs' current suppliers, some of whom are based in Korea. Memtech is set to capture market share from these competitors on the back of lower production costs in the PRC and increasing economies of scale.
- Memtech's recent qualification by Nokia testifies to its success in securing MNC customers and capturing more market share. Revenue contributions from Nokia are expected to kick in on a full scale in FY05. As a result of Memtech's diversification to MNC customers, debtor days can be expected to improve from the 130 days currently, as credit terms for MNC customers are typically lower at 30-60 days. Despite its 130 debtor days, Memtech continues to generate positive cash flow (e.g. positive cash flow of S$8.5m in 1H04). Memtech aims to achieve at least a 5050 revenue split between PRC and MNC customers eventually.
- Strong maiden interim results. Memtech's net profit rose 160% yoy to S$15m on the back of a 140% rise in revenue to S$53m in 1H04. The growth was driven by increasing orders from existing customers and new customers secured in 2003 such as Lenovo and TCL. Both Lenovo and TCL contributed about 10% of sales in 1H04. Gross margins climbed to 46% from 44% in 1H03.
- Management guided for stronger 2H. Memtech's sales moderated in recent months due to the seasonal factor and weak business sentiment precipitated by the Chinese government's measures to cool the economy. Some PRC phone manufacturers are also facing temporary inventory issues. However, Memtech expects the growth momentum to resume in 4Q when it begins to benefit from orders from several new customers, such as Philip China. Current order book is unchanged at one month of orders, while visibility from customers remains at two months. Despite the spike in oil prices, Memtech has not experienced any significant increase in raw material costs. Management has guided for a stronger 2H04 vs. 2H03 (when net profit was S$15.4m on sales of S$46.6m).
- Recommend Buy; target price S$0.63. We estimate that Memtech can post net profit of S$17.5m (+14% yoy) in 2H04, translating into 54% yoy profit growth for FY04. Net profit CAGR is estimated at 41% for FY04-06 on the back of positive industry growth, increasing market share and aggressive expansion. Among its peers on the SGX with market caps of above S$300m, Memtech stands out with the highest net margins and ROE. We believe Memtech should trade at a premium to Fu Yu. We have pegged our target price at 10x FY05 P/E, a discount to Hi-P which has a higher EPS CAGR. Our target price of S$0.63 implies 36% upside. Buy.
