公司的背景 | Company Background
如果投资者只以一般的方式去看待威城的数据,这间公司将会变成一个弃婴。投资要看未来,也要了解公司生意的性质。数据如低ROE,低盈利率,高债务,通通都不能带上用场。值得参考的数据有如现金流和营业额。可以带来盈利率变化的情况包括新产品的盈利率,运营成本和材料成本控制,货币兑换率的波动。
简单来形容,【威城】是一间做代工生意的公司。这类生意的盈利率会很低,也很依赖主要顾客给的订单。所以,业绩一般都会有很大的波动。每当大经济变坏,营业额就会大跌。主要原因是其顾客给的生意被影响而导致的连锁反应。其次,只要有某个大顾客退出或大量减少公司的订单,业绩就会变得很难看。观察过去10年业绩的波动,就明白背后的原理了。
在现有的情况,高应收债和高存货,都代表业绩转折点的现象。只有得到陆续增长的订单,才会造成现有的情况。
This company will become an abandoned selection if investors using a common view to look on its fundamental figure. We must invest on the future and understand the nature of the company business. Data such as low ROE, low profit margin and high debt, all are not suitable to make valuation for this company. Cash flow and revenue will be a good reference for fundamental valuation. Profitability is subject to change, including net profit of new products, operating costs and material costs control, fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
In brief, VS is a contract manufacturer doing OEM business for their customers. The profit margin for such business will be low naturally and very dependent on major customers for orders. Therefore, the results generally have large fluctuations. When economy in deterioration, turnover will collapse. The main reason is the business of its customers to be affected and cause a chain reaction. Secondly, if there is a major customer exit or significantly reduce the company's orders, the performance will becomes very bad. By looking on its performance over the past 10 years, we can understand the rationale behind the business nature.
In the current case, the high debt and high inventory accounts, represents a turning point in the performance of the phenomenon. Only get another increase orders, giving rise to the current situation.
每季/每年业绩 | Quarterly/Yearly Results
注:Q3FY2014带来了一笔外汇亏损,负数RM4.4mil。
ATTN: Q3FY2014 reported a derivative loss on currency forward contracts of -RM4.4mil.
三十大股东 | Top 30 Shareholders
大型投资机构,总共有7个。如果没有错,比去年增加了3个。
Total of 7 substantial investment institutions holding the company share. If not mistaken, it has increased 3 compared to last year.
分部业绩 | Segment Results
在Q1-3FY2014大马的分部业绩,可以看到盈利率会比去年好,反而营业额比较不达标。但是,重点不在Q1-3FY2014,而是接下来的下一季和未来。
印尼的部分,没什么影响力。不多谈。
去年把中国的子公司(VSIG)股份增加了17.18%。现在公司以53.84%持股率来掌控子公司的运作决定权。主要原因是来稳定零件供应给予大马的生产线。暂时子公司还是在亏损的状况。只要管理层成功把中国子公司的运作费管理好,就会把公司的盈利再步提高。
Malaysia segment results in Q1-3FY2014, we can see the profit margin is better than last year. But the revenue is less impressive than last year. However, the focus is not Q1-3FY2014, but next quarter onwards.
For Indonesia segment, it is not significant. Thus, just ignore it.
In last year, company has increased of 17.18% shareholding in VSIG, a subsidiary in China. As of now, the company has 53.84% shareholding ratio to control the operation decision of the subsidiary. The main reason is to give a stable supply of spare parts to Malaysia's production lines. At the moment, VSIG is still making loss. If the management succeeds to make a good operating costs control on VSIG, it will further improve the company's profitability.
买点 | Buy Points
1. 自从DYSON这位大顾客离去大部分产品生产线后,Keurig Green Mountain化身为其身边更大的巨人。Keurig Green Mountain的合作伙伴包括SUBWAY(全世界最多连锁店的公司),STARBUCKS,COCA-COLA,NESTLE,等等的消费大品牌公司。
2. 新咖啡机组装生产线在5月正式投入运作。6月新款咖啡机产量将达到10万台,而7月数量更将倍增。这代表FY14Q3的业绩(二月至四月),是还没有新厂带来的贡献。所以,FY14Q4的业绩预测会非常亮眼。【22-Jul-14 產能料雙位數增長‧威城財測調高】
3. 股息政策:盈利派发率为最少40%或以上。盈利上升,股息也会跟着上。
