Valuetronics profits up 18.1% to $6.83m

Thanks to strong contribution from new consumer electronics projects.

Investors should expect to see a sequential increase in Valuetronics' (VALUE) revenue due to significant contribution from new consumer electronics (CE) projects, said KGI securities

It notes that this was precisely what they observed in 2Q17's results, which was slightly better than expected.

Investors should expect to see a sequential increase in Valuetronics' (VALUE) revenue due to significant contribution from new consumer electronics (CE) projects, said KGI securities

It notes that this was precisely what they observed in 2Q17's results, which was slightly better than expected.

VALUE's revenue of HK$573.7m or S$96.25m(+9% YoY, +20% QoQ) formed 54% of KGI's FY17F estimates, while net profit of HK$38.1m or $6.83m (+18% YoY, +29% QoQ) made up 51% of its FY17F projection.

Here's more from KGI:

The net QoQ rise in total revenue could be attributable to the CE segment (HK$261m; +9.2% YoY, +58% QoQ). As a result of this change in sales mix, gross margin declined QoQ to 14.6% from 16.0%. This should be expected as CE margins tend to be lower in general. Therefore, investors should not be alarmed to see this.

CE's sequentiaal growth came from three sources. 1) A new generation smart lighting product, 2) a new household sanitary product (that now incorporates electronic parts) from a new customer, and the underlying organic growth of its PCBA products.

The largest contributor of the three came from smart lighting. This smart lighting product can be wirelessly connected to a hub, and users are able to remotely control lighting features such as colour, intensity, etc. via their phones.

These smart lighting products are marketed and sold by a large Dutch MNC. Gross margin for this line of products is expected to be similar to past LED lighting products, however the absolute gross profit amount should be much higher given its much higher retail price than the traditional LED lighting products.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
