DNEX 2QFY22 ZOOM Briefing key take away

 

Key takeaway
- Core businesses: DagangNet, SealNet (Cloud based single platform similar to DNT but on the private sector B2B), DNex solutions, GenaXis, DNex Telco (subsea Telco), OGPC (Equipment, serving upstream and downstream) and Ping (E&P), Silterra (completed 60% stake acquisition)
- Enlarged group expected to have combined revenue >RM1b
 
Silterra
- Operational improvement: 97,146 wafer fab out in 2QFY22 – 2nd highest. 37,461 wafers fab out in Dec21 – highest monthly wafer out. Fab yield performance at 98.95% - highest ever
- Capex investment – approved USD153m (RM640m) which will expand annual capacity to 10m mask layers. More capacity to be allocated for Silicon Photonics, MEMS. Emerging technology per mask layer ASP would be USD80-100 vs current’s at USD20-25.
-  Emerging technology BRCM & Gorilla products started risk run, anticipate to complete qualification by 2H22. Core tech improvements on target, highest yield of 99% for C18F process for ChipOne. Increase of BCD shipment from 15% in 1QFY22 to 25% in  2QFy22.
- Secured two LT wafer supply agreements with Chipone USD 400m and Illitek USD173m. Anticipate to complete 2 more in 2HFY22 to fulfil LTA UR to 80%.
- Growth revenue from ChipOne, 1Q 15%, 2Q 22% and Illitek 1Q 7%, 2Q 11%. Average net ASP from 1Q USD20.8 to USD23.6 in 2Q.
- New management – Dr Albert Pang as Officer In Charge.
- In 2021, the market attrition was at 13%, Silterra overall cumulative attrition was at 10.6% - announced multiple benefits improvements to employees.
- Quality: 996 wafers scraped; first time achieved total wafer scrap <1000 wafers per quarter.
- Net wafers USD527 in 2Q, 1Q-488, 4Q-434. Masks layer – 23.6 vs 18 in 4Q
-  Current capacity 8.5m mask layers per year, after approved capex of USD68m till Nov21 – 8.8m mast layer and with approved capex of USD85 in Jan22, it will be 10m mask layers – to start production in 2023.
- Benefits enhancement to attract talents.
- 2 more LTA customer is in progress of negotiation.
- Plant expansion and product mix optimisation with completion of LTA.
- Focused expansion on new technologies – SiPh + MEMS
- Gearing of Silterra in 12M21 at 0.3x vs 1.04x in 7M21
- In summary: Excellent operational improvements achieved – higher production, yield and lower cost. Future plant expansion – higher capacity and SiPh and MEMS which command higher ASP. Product mix optimisation, 2 additional LTA to bring UR to 80%. Financial performance to strengthen both BS and IS. Continue to explore and improve benefits to employees to be comparable to market.
 
Anasuria
- Brent has reached >USD100/bbl – strategy is to accelerate production to take advantage of current high prices. Taken some hedging position.
- Net volume hope to secure Kbopd to about 10k (to be driven by Avalon, to deliver first oil in Jul24), now is at 2k. Partnering with Hibiscus with Anasuria.
- Anasuria: Profit enhancement strategies via increase in production rate/additional reserves, optimise OPEX, better tax management and extend Cessation of production to add reserves. Capacity enhancement work programs – infill drilling and facility debottlenecking
- Avalon – to deliver first oil in Jul24. FDI and FDP approval expected at FY22.
- Others – acquisition of brownfield assets, embarking in developing a Net Zero framework to achieve ESG, low cost operator.
 
IT
- National single window (deployment of new services NPCO, cross border trade exchange eCert, Air Manifest for aviation, and potentially Air Cargo System). International front: Increasing pipeline – new initiative with PAA and ASEC, ADB World bank and USAID.
- Trade Facilitation – B2B: Optimising overhead and BPO – Seal Net products – Petronas, Dell & Intel.
- System integration & consultancy – securing funnels with a TCV of RM15-20m
 
 
2Q results
- Revenue of RM353m all time high, EBITDA RM130m – Tech – stronger performance on higher ASP, wafer shipment.
