But the dividend and the replacement of the management team are the silver linings

A good investment for investors that invested below 40 cents. Anything above is a bad investment

Nope, 2.4 b of issued shares. RM900 m of excess cash at later part of 2023 or 37.5 cents with all the projects completed. For IPO shareholders that invested RM2.4b in 2017 vs RM900m excess cash in 2023, that's negative return of their investments

There should be a change to its management in the UK's operations to improve its lackluster performance? There is no point of getting any awards and accreditations when the Group can't be profitable

And priority is to pay dividends to the shareholders. If they cannot expand the business, it's better to return back the capital to the shareholders

Only silver lining is the cash distribution. They can distribute up to 80 cents if they do not need to plough it back to their existing projects

Congrats Chuah as the new MD. Penta 2.0 in the making. Previously they relied on Dyson during with as much as 70% contribution to sales. In 2021, only 42%. It means now they have broader base of customers. If they can continue to expand and get another major customer, then is gonna break new high

Is a good value at current price. But is a very depressive investment for IPO investors that pouring billions but getting negative returns. All end in vain due to inability of the management team to understand on its business model, core competencies and landscapes. More developed the country is, more regulations, compliance and cost of doing business. That's why EWINT is in distress mode

Somehow the UK and Australia markets no longer lucrative for the Group. The projects are nice but somehow they haven't learned to make profits from these projects and the issues spiralling down. Do less, be lean is the way to go till they have found the right business model to make money for its shareholders

Stock

No choice, if cannot expand the business than need to be prudence especially on the spending and staff costs. That's why they need to spend less, focused to repay borrowings and repay the shareholders. Is better for them to do less than more. You can see that RM2.4b invested now probably can get RM2b back. It is I'm negative returns more than 5 years since IPO

Its share price now at 27.5 cents, pathetic with more than 2/3 drop in value compared to its IPO.

Just that is underperforming Group with incompetent management team. Its share price performance is a good bellwether to know whether they do well or not. They should be leaned and reduce excessive fat from high salaries, bonuses, benefits and perks to the CEO and management team in the corporate and the UK

Every dog has its day. But so far not EWINT since it's venture into the UK and AU. Results since IPO were horrible. Don't count on the management team to expand its business but instead hope bigger chunk of dividends instead. It need to be restructured and pivot it's business model from now

You can just exercise your rights as a shareholder. Raise your questions via AGM or to their investors relations. Just throw a small bomb to them to pressure them.

For president and CEO and management team, I believe is their intentions to create value for the shareholders. However, so far they're lacking of the skills and experience to ride on the trends and navigate it from the crises. 5 years plus already enough to judge it. If not because of their partners they could not get the developments completed. Should just change the management and get the more competence management team

Same as Aimflex. Aimflex is too concentrated on single customer in a single sector, electric appliances, Dyson. If they successfully breakout of this and venture into automotive and semiconductor, is gonna become Aimflex's inflection point

16 cents is the base, its IPO price. Penta was having crisis before the appointment of Chuah as the CEO, similiar to Aimflex i.e. working capital constraints, inability to secure broad range of major customers. Their inflection point was when they secured 2 majors customers in Singapore and the rest is history

Market no longer reacting to its sales targets and sales + reserves secured. RM2b, RM2.2b as these do not necessarily translate into profitability. Something that management need to focus is not only be a strong resources allocator but finding ways to expand its margins

As the Company is entering into 2nd phase and replenishment of its landbank, it would be better that the Company restrategise its business. Of course they have track record but now they need to figure on how to make money for the shareholders as RM2.4b of equity has been invested since 2017

Stock

2022-09-16 07:30 | Report Abuse

Like what I calculated net net cash should be 80 cents once the JV entities repaid the amounts owing. 50% distribution and remaining for landbank acquisition, we can still expect a dividends of 40 cents, well above the current share price and we still own the company. Actually payment of dividends is bad for growth companies as less money invested to compound growth. But so far not in the case of EWINT. So far landbank mostly exhausted as most of the projects at tail-end. However, the issue is with this company is whether is outright sales or BTR project, its projects only have thin margins after taking into account holding costs and extra incentives. It cause doubt either the industry itself is too competitive for the management to handle or they are having issue in cost control. That's why the silver lining now for redistribution of dividends and why is taking 1-2 years as the pound now is weakening badly against RM, so is not a wise decision

Actually still a silver lining, 80 cents net net cash after settlements of amount owing by JVs. Assuming half of its will be distributed within 1-2 years, you can expect dividends of at least 40 cents

Is already more than 5 years since its IPO, all the projects at the tail-end but somehow the management team of EWINT is not capable of delivery value and returns for the RM2.4b capital invested by the shareholders. Somehow the projects delivered are vanity in nature but not profitable

Awang is bad for the business. See Serba, Minetec and Aimflex before his departure. But we always welcome Mr Chuah that will turn Aimflex to greater heights. 16 cents is IPO price and base. Many more upside from thereon

Is very undervalued based on potential distribution to the shareholders in 1-2 years but many projects in the UK and Aus for the last years at its best were breakeven or thin margins after adjusting for holding cost s. They need to be selective on the projects on looming recession, high interest rates from 0.25-1.75%, high building material costs and tapering demand. The irony is somehow their Malaysian sister company actually have much better margins than Ewint. Is time for Ewint to restrategise to concentrate on SEA market as the UK and Australia markets have proved too competitive and complicated for the management team to handle

Shareholders funds: RM2.5b
Amount owing by JVs: RM2.1b
Net borrowings: RM551m (borrowings) - RM337m (cash and bank balances) = RM214m

Net net cash once settlement by JVs is RM1.9b is around 80 cents to be distributed as dividends and land bank replenishment.

Revenue is only recognised for its Australian's entities as they are wholly-owned. As for the UK's entities, EWINT captures as share of profits from its JV entities. The sales of RM2b for 9-month including reserves and will not be captured as revenue till the projects have been handover

For its to recover its IPO value is highly unlikely as the management is too laid-back and not competence enough to ride the Group out of its crises. But at least it doesn't need to bear the elevated construction costs for its projects as most of them already at the tail-end. Now is about cash preservation and distribution back to the shareholders which is much higher than its current share price

The only saving grace is the cash and bank balances that yet to be repatriated by the JV companies, namely EW Ballymoore and London that can compensate to the shareholders losses

Supposed to be a good company but suffered many blows including Brexit, Covid and now the UK's looming recession and persistently double-digit inflation. The Company has a good vision and business model but somehow the management team is not able to capitalise swiftly. Even the planned repatriation now suffers a bit blow with pound now at its weakest against USD since 1985. A bit disappointed with its management team ability to swiftly and agile manner to manage the risks in the business
