[KESM INDUSTRIES BHD: world-wide semiconductor revenue is estimated to reach USD451 billion in 2018, representing a growth of 7.3% from USD420.4 billion in 2017]

Other income was higher by RM1.1 million, mainly due to higher fair value gain on investment securities held for trading by RM0.9 million. The Group’s profit before tax reduced by 22% or RM2.8 million, from RM12.8 million to RM10.0 million in 4QFY2018.

The Group’s revenue improved by 3% or RM11.8 million, from RM338.0 million in the preceding year to RM349.8 million for the current financial year as a result of higher demand for burn-in and testing services. Other income was higher by 95% or RM1.5 million, mainly due to higher gain on disposal of machinery spares by RM0.9 million, and an exchange gain of RM0.3 million.

Cash and short-term deposits improved by 39% or RM50.0 million, from RM127.6 million to RM177.6 million, which represented the net surplus cash generated from operations. Trade and other payables decreased by 50% or RM37.6 million, from RM74.6 million to RM37.0 million, largely attributable to settlement of balances due for purchases of machinery and test equipment of RM26.6 million, and lower accrued operating expenses by RM8.8 million.

The Group achieved profit before tax of RM10.0 million for 4QFY2018, compared to RM7.2 million in the preceding quarter ended 30 April 2018. The increase in profit before tax by RM2.7 million was mainly due to a fair value gain on investment securities held for trading of RM1.4 million in 4QFY18, from a fair value loss on investment securities held for trading of RM1.0 million.

Prospects:
World-wide semiconductor revenue is estimated to reach USD451 billion in 2018, representing a growth of 7.3% from USD420.4 billion in 2017. According to the July 2018 International Monetary Fund Outlook Report, global growth is projected to reach 3.9% in 2018, from 3.7% in 2017. The broad indices of the semiconductor industry and global growth are positive indicators of another satisfactory year. The Group is relentlessly streamlining its operations to better position itself for business volatility.
