PENANG: THE SILICON VALLEY OF THE EAST

The state of Penang, nestled along the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, needs no introduction in the global electronics manufacturing sector. Despite its diminutive stature with just over 1,000 square kilometers of land area and a 1.8 million-strong population, Penang commanded an estimated 5% of global semiconductor exports in 2019, according to data compiled from the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) and UN Comtrade.

Today, Penang houses more than 350 MNCs that are supported by over 3,000 manufacturing-related SMEs. As Penang flourished as a vibrant, regional E&E manufacturing hub, the local talent pool steadily accumulated a wealth of business intelligence and technical experience, enabling the robust supply chain to evolve in tandem with technology megatrends. This, in turn, enabled the State to focus on pursuing investments that have propelled the industry up the value chain, away from its beginnings as a low-cost manufacturing hub. Consequently, Penang has seen a proliferation of upstream technology-related investments in high value-added functions in recent years, ranging from research and development (R&D), design and knowledge-based solutions, and downstream advanced manufacturing and testing to global business service (GBS) and Centre of Excellence (CoE) activities.

Penang’s growing significance in the global E&E value chain is demonstrated by its steady and resilient export performance in recent years. From 2014 to 2019, the State’s E&E exports grew at a compounded annual rate (CAGR) of 12% to reach RM210 billion (US$51 billion). It has emerged as a hub for professional, scientific and controlling instruments (including medical technology), with exports of these products growing at a 5-year CAGR of 15% to reach RM23 billion (US$6 billion) in 2019.

E&E products, alongside professional, scientific and controlling instruments, collectively contributed between 77% and 82% of Penang’s total annual exports since 2014, and accounted for 50% of Malaysia’s exports in these two segments during the period.

More impressively, despite the disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic, Penang’s total exports continued to rise in 2020, growing 7% year-on-year to RM310 billion (US$75 billion), and a further 14% year-on-year in January and February 2021, driven by strong global demand for semiconductors.

Penang consumer’s water bill, which he said used to be RM7.70 at every bill cycle has now gone up to RM17.36 under the new rates with the same water usage

For a household that used to pay around RM47 every bi-monthly, the bill went up to RM126 under the new rates for around the same water usage

Penang water bill show PBA will reap minimum additional RM 10 hike for those minimum water usage and much more higher for those use more water.

Under the new rates, the first 20 cubic meters is at 62 sen (up 182 per cent from 22 sen), from 20 cubic metres to 35 cubic metres the rate is at RM1.17 (up 154 per cent from 46 sen) and for the third band of more than 35 cubic metres, the rate is RM2.07 (up 204 per cent from 68 sen).

According to feedback, the water charges of many families have increased as much as 100% and some even claim to be more than 150 %

Based on last Q result, PBA water revenue is RM 94.8m, therefore, estimate PBA future water revenue will surge at least 1 fold higher and most of revenue hike translate direct to bottomline after deduct tax

However, if PBA do aggressively pipe replacement, higher cost will incur to offset partly upcoming windfall profit.

Water may be a commodity that you don't think about when it comes out of the tap, but water is essential to life.

Water is a key input in everything from food and beverages to the cleaning of semiconductor wafers and hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The sourcing, purification, and distribution of water is big business around the world, and the threat of climate change makes that more true now than ever.

And Malaysia got lots of water. Hmm this year beginning penang not so much.. South side got more regular rain drops , but maybe because it's El Nino . however second half of the year should recover ,already storm is returning

Penang also got a population boom , lots of China and Hong Konger decided to migrate or call Penang the second home, so water usage is sure higher. But Penang mater management sure need to improve as well.

Penang's water consumption had reached 927 million liters per day (MLD) on Sunday (March 17) compared to last year's average total of 877 MLD. “This shows an increase as high as 50 MLD from year to year.

Based on PBA latest annual report, PBA bear subsidy RM 115.2m for Penang domestic water user. Management expect to decrease these subsidy significantly following 1 Feb water traffic hike.

There are total 593,255 domestic account and 461,350 consume < 35m3, while balance 131,905 consume > 35m3
Based on new water traffic,
1. domestic account water consumption < 35m3 charge 86sen, is 50sen hike per m3
Water bill increase 50sen x 35m3 = hike RM 17.5/account
Total domestic account 461,350 x RM 17.5 = RM 8.07 million/month

2. domestic account water consumption > 35m3 charge RM 2.07, is RM 1.39 hike per m3
Water bill increase 50sen x first 35m3 = hike RM 17.5/account
Water bill increase RM 1.39 x (35m3 - 45m3)= hike RM 13.9/account
Total domestic account 131,905 x (RM 17.6 + RM 13.9) = RM 4.15 million/month

In total water traffic hike impact RM 8.07 + RM 4.15 = RM 12.22 million per month or Quarterly hike RM 36.7 million or Hike RM 146.8m pa

Remark: To arrive above calculation,
1. assumption is make for maximum consumption up to 35m3 for those consume categori <35m3, by assume all consume 35m3
2. assumption is made for minimum consumption above 35m3 for those consume categori > 35m3 by assume all consume additional 10m3
3. assumption is made to exclude domestic bulk meter whom stay in high rise apartment in which bulk meter water traffic hike flat rate at 35sen m3 have increase significantly to charge flat rate RM 1.73 m3 (its massive hike RM 1.38 per m3)

These additional RM 146.8 m pa due to domestic water traffic is to

1. Decrease water subsidy significantly
2. Opex - To cope higher operation cost such as pipe replacement
3. Capex - To fund expansion capacity on exiting water treatment capacity and to built new water treatment plant

Remark: The amount spend on Capex will NOT affect PBA profit margin, therefore, all water traffic hike will direct positive to bottom-line, increase profit margin directly. The profit earn then channel to fund capacity assets and built additional water treatment plant which will record as additional new assets to PBA.

Only amount spend on opex such as pipe replacement will affect PBA profit margin, the higher rate of old pipe replacement to new pipe translate directly to increase operation cost, therefore decrease profit margin from above water traffic hike

Capex will increase depreciation and reduce cash flow hence reduce the ability to pay higher dividend

1 day ago

hng33

Increase revenue through traffic hike is direct increase profit earning. The surge in profit allow higher capital to fund capex such as increase water treatment capacity, built new water treatment plant to meet increase water demand which is expect to leap up by another 30% by 2030. The surge in water demand in turn increase higher revenue to PBA. It's win win cycle to generate additional positive cash flow. Of course new and additional water treatment assets subject to annual depreciation review

dragon328

@hng33, that's right. The increase in water tariffs will raise PBA's revenue by over RM100m a year, the bulk of which will flow to the bottom line.

The increased operating cashflows from the water tariff hike are to fund the capex for next few years, estimated at over RM300m for next 5 years. Hence PBA needs the additional operating cashflows of at least RM100m a year to cater for such capex and slightly increased opex.

1 day ago

hng33

Dragon328
I expect much higher revenue increase than RM 100m as Penang water consumption just surge new high recently, and higher water consumption is at higher traffic band category at RM 2.07 per m3 which is increase RM1.37 per m3 hike compared to lower band category 50sen per m3 hike.

hng33

Compared between PBA and RANHILL, PBA strategy is more focus on capex increase water treatment plant capacity to increase treated water supply to meet ever increasing Penang water consumption. Many penang land are consider heritage area, therefore, limit opex on pipe replacement effort.

On the other hand, RANHILL strategy is more focus on opex to aggressively pipe replacement, incur very high cost to meet targeted non revenue water%.
