EP 制造净利跌36%

财经新闻 财经  2013-04-27 13:43
（吉隆坡26日讯）受到普腾和第二国产车转车款的影响，EP制造（EPMB，7773，主板工业产品股）截至3月31日首季，净利跌35.8%至560万7000令吉。

同时，营业额也下滑19.8%至1亿1040万1000令吉；上财年的营收和净利分别为1亿3770万4000令吉与873万9000令吉。

当季每股盈利为3.52仙，较上财年的5.48仙来得低。

EP制造执行主席哈米顿表示，公司面临普腾和第二国产车两家公司转变车款，以及为了减低浪费和改善效率而降低对供应商的成本，因此造成营收应声下滑。

“无论如何，我们如今致力于改善生产效率，并对今年的汽车领域维持乐观展望，相信蓬勃的本地经济环境与5.4%的经济增长率，将持续支撑领域发展。”[南洋网财经]

赚幅续受压　EP製造目標价下调

財经 2013年5月3日
（吉隆坡3日讯）EP製造（EPMB，7773，主板工业股）首季业绩低迷，分析员预计赚幅持续受压，加上收购马驹大道（MEX）不看好，因此下修其评级和目標价。       

达证券分析员指出，EP製造2013財政年第一季核心盈利按年下跌16.6%至600万令吉，主要受营业额按年减少19.8%，至1亿1010万令吉拖累。

其营业额滑落归因普腾的订单减少。普腾第一季的汽车销售下滑2.9%，至3万4300辆。除了普腾，第二国產车的订单同样萎缩。第二国產车的销量按季跌2.3%，至4万6700辆。

此外，有效税率也增加26%，因其税务优惠已於2012年杪结束。由於借贷增至2亿1690万令吉，因此净財务成本从190万令吉，增至280万令吉。

有鑑於首季业绩疲弱，达证券分析员將2013-2015財政年盈利下调19%-20%，以反映汽车收入和销售下滑。同时，將有效税率预测提高至20%。

展望前景，分析员相信赚幅持续受压。虽然管理层寻求提高生產效率和减轻损耗，但这方面的努力会被普腾和第二国產车降低成本措施抵销。

对於收购马驹大道，分析员相信在大选前不会有新进展。

达证券將目標价格从0.78令吉，调低至0.67令吉。虽然此估值仍然低估，但分析员认为因其盈利成长前景低迷。分析员也担心收购马驹大道在短中期会带来负面影响，因此將投资评级从「守住」下调至「卖出」。[东方日报财经]

收購大道‧出手太高‧EP製造料陷虧損

EP製造終止17億馬駒大道收購

大馬  2013-05-17 11:06
（吉隆坡16日訊）EP製造（EPMB，7773，主板工業產品組）備受抨擊的17億令吉馬駒大道（Maju Expressway）收購計劃喊停。

EP製造發文告說，該公司、馬駒大道私人有限公司（MESB）與兩位賣主，即Bright Focus公司和Ulimas公司達成協議，取消上述計劃。

以汽車零件製造為核心業務的EP製造，突然在去年3月宣佈以17億令吉總代價收購馬駒大道，引來市場嘩然，股價應聲重挫15%。

當時，分析員一致認為收購價過高，債務騰漲導致負債比飆升至457%，加上利息成本高企將侵蝕短期盈利表現，不排除2013財政年更會陷入虧損困境。

他們認為，馬駒大道並不如預期般賺錢，主要是受到折舊及利息成本影響，加上高收購成本導致短期盈利受損，因此持悲觀看法，況且EP製造之前也不曾經營大道業務，須獨自面對特許經營風險。（星洲日報／財經）

EP製造回歸正業受看好

熱股評析  2013-05-17 17:52
（吉隆坡17日訊）EP製造（EPMB，7773，主板工業產品組）被評為“不務正業＂的大道收購計劃無疾而終，今日股價應聲上漲，一度揚升10.6%。

一度揚升10.6%

EP製造開盤先漲4.5仙至84.5仙，過後扶搖直上，最高升至88.5仙，漲8.5仙或10.6%，隨後賣盤施壓，漲幅受到壓擠，終場收86仙，全天上揚6仙或7.5%。

達證券表示，當初他們就因批評該公司以17億令吉收購馬駒大道（Maju Expressway）的計劃既昂貴又加重財務負擔，而並未納進評估，因此現在計劃告吹，對該公司來說，反而是一種“祝福＂。

結束熙熙攘攘的大道收購“鬧劇＂後，投資者將重新審視該公司的核心汽車零件製造業務展望。達證券指出，雖然該公司積極爭取跨國汽車公司的本地訂單，但兩大國產車龍頭普騰（Proton）與第二國產車依然貢獻主要營收。

該行補充，包括國產車公司在內的汽車公司紛紛削減成本，EP製造肯定面對衝擊，惟短期賺幅料不受影響。

EP製造管理層披露，正透過多項策略捍衛盈利，其中一項是在第二國產車的協助下，減少生產時間、多元化產品線等。據稱，去年該公司成功在保持賺幅下，將Myvi零件的售價降低8%。

爭取跨國汽車公司訂單

同時，該公司也嘗試爭取跨國汽車公司的訂單。達證券認為，跨國汽車公司正逐步增加本地製造零件的比重，以降低成本與稅務，豐田凱美瑞（Toyota Camry）近60%零件來自大馬就是最佳例子，長期而言，該公司可望從這波趨勢中受益。

“短期來看，EP製造的命運依然與國產車息息相關。＂

該行在剔除大道收購計劃風險後，將EP製造的目標本益比從4倍調高回5倍，目標價略為提高到84仙，但在考量到兩大國產車遲遲未有推出新車款下，維持“賣出＂評級。（星洲日報）

EP製造物色新收購

大馬  2013-06-26 17:34
（吉隆坡26日訊）競標馬駒大道（Maju Expressway）計劃告吹的汽車零件製造商EP製造（EPMB,7773,主板工業產品組），將再接再厲尋求其它收購良機，以保障未來盈利。

該公司執行主席哈米頓在股東大會後表示，政府未對此作出回應及給予理由，因此選擇放棄此收購計劃，不過該公司不會氣餒，目前僅稍作休息，不排除會捲土重來，展開新收購計劃。

“外界有許多表現優異的公司，將不會侷限在大道經營權，而是放眼任何可強化股東價值的收購計劃。”

在核心業務汽車零件製造（OEM）方面，他表示除了國產車業務，未來也將專注於獲取非國產車合約，包括未來豐田的能源效益（EEV）汽車零件製造。

“未來兩年資本開銷6千萬令吉，為新汽車型號增設獨特的裝配生產線，供應本地及區域出口汽車相關零件。”

對於未來將如何應對國家汽車政策（NAP）推行後的汽車零件市場，他認為市場自由化將導致競爭水平加劇，公司已部署在未來幾年強化本地及區域市場，其中成本撙節及提昇產能措施已開始在去年顯現。

“儘管去年銷量下滑，不過在成本撙節及提昇產能雙面貢獻之下，淨利不降反升，意味公司已準備好面對更自由化市場。

另外，該公司位於雪州峇冬加里的再生能源計劃將於下個月開始，供應2兆瓦的太陽能予國家能源（TENAGA,5347,主板貿服組），經營權21年。

該計劃投資額2千200萬令吉，21年可獲取6千萬令吉盈收，平均一年約100萬令吉。

針對未來會否有意把EP製造私有化的問題，他並未正面否決，僅表示未有打算，因目前還不是時候。（星洲日報／財經）
