Summary:
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydro have become an alternative energy source of the energy market (including Malaysia’s strong push for renewable energy). The rapid growth of renewable energy in the past 5 years was prompted by the increasing costs of fossil fuels as well as their environmental impact issues. Copper plays an important role in these renewable energy systems. In fact, copper usage averages up to five times more in renewable energy systems than in traditional power generation, such as fossil fuel and nuclear. Since copper is an excellent thermal and electrical conductor among the engineering metals, power systems that utilise copper generate and transmit energy with high efficiency and with minimum environmental impacts.
Copper is among the Best Conductors of Electricity and Heat, so it is hardly surprising that about 60% of Total Copper Use is for these Applications
Tawin has been in loss making position over the past 18 months (4 loss making quarters over last 6 quarters but already turned profitable with 8.1mil net profit in the latest quarter result released on 30 August). The reasons of loss making are due to the following reasons:
Four (4) Keys of turnaround
2.1 New Machines could contribute higher margin (no 1)
One of their strategies to turnaround from loss to profitability is by changing the old machines to newer and more efficient machines, which can accept recycled raw materials (or lower purity copper raw material). For this purpose, Tawin has proposed right issue and ICPS (irredeemable convertible preference shares) to raise RM35.8 mil (mainly to buy raw materials). This corporate exercise has been completed in August 2019. Let see the details of the right issue fund utilization as below (circular 2.1.6):
Source: https://malaysiastock.biz/Company-Announcement.aspx?id=1125272 (circular of right issue dated March 2019.
From the above circular, 2 new additional manufacturing lines with a total capacity of approximately 1200 metric tons per month has been setup. The total costs of these 2 manufacturing lines (including installation costs) is approximately USD1.7 million (or RM6.9 million based on exchange rate of 4.07). Personally I expect these two new productions lines will have higher efficiency and profit margin and the best thing is the has secured an off-take agreement to sell all the copper rod and wire products of this new production lines.
Remember their existing production lines total capacity is approximately 1000 tons (per month) with revenue per quarter of about 90mil. With the contribution of the new production lines, capacity could increase to 2000 tons per month with possible double up of revenue (higher margin from new production lines).
2.2 Cyprium Wire Technology JV (no 2)
Cyprium JV was announced in April 2019 marks Tawin first foray into the cable industry, a downstream venture in the value chain which normally command a double digit net profit margin. It will use innovative electron beam irradiation technology (patented) and it is part of the Company’s strategy to capitalise on new and viable opportunities complementing its existing business to drive growth. This joint venture is expected to be operational as of in 3rd quarter in July – August 2019 (Q3 could contribute)
With 80% ownership of the newly set up Cyprium Wire Technology SB, TaWin is the first and only Malaysian company to commercialize this technology. The competitive pricing and lead time as compared to foreign competitors are some key advantages of this downstream product.
2.3 Increase export ratio (no 3)
Tawin has increased their local and export market ratio from 80:20 to 60:40 level in 2019. Their target is further increase this ratio to level of 50:50 to ensure that the company continues to grow and can have a more natural hedge of their currency risk.
2.4 Internal Operations Improvement (no 4)
Tawin has designed a capex plan to replace old machinery in order to improve efficiencies on electricity cost, labour cost, and maintenance cost.
Finally, let us go through the prospects of Tawin (last two quarters) as below:

Valuation – With a more efficient new productions lines, international and local JV, Ta Win has expanding into new markets and vertically integrating to downstream business to attain higher margins with a patented technology.

4 PA for 1 mother or 1 PA+7.5 sen |
Assuming 40% of PA holders converted using cash of 7.5 sen+ 1PA (about 30-40% PA shares are in Management hand which are not likely to be converted in short term) |
Company will receive 186mil X 0.075 = 14 mil cash (big cash position considering its small market cap |
Ex-cash FY2020 PE (assuming company receive 14 mil cash from PA conversion) (To calculate the PE (ex cash), subtract Cash from the market value before dividing by earnings) |
PE (ex-cash) = 3.9x (at 13 sen price and assuming 40% dilution from PA) the warrant is expected to be out of money hence no dilution is expected in the next 12 months (unless price of Tawin can reach 20 sen). |
Summary of the latest quarter result:
Risk:
Price Chart
Current price of Tawin is trading at near 52 weeks low (12 sen) and if they can turnaround in 2H of 2019, then downside is limited due to I expect is it likely to turnaround based on their new JVs (international and local) and internal efficiency improvement.
The new management taken over the company since end of year 2017 when tawin was still trading at 1.00 (after adjusted price still about 35-38 sen now).
One good example of successful turnaround play is MFLOUR. When Mflour proposing right issue, LA with free warrant time (Dec 2018), its share price dropped from RM1.1 to 45 sen, then after it turnaround in Feb 2019 and May 2019 results, its share price rebounded to above 60 sen.
(Mflour: Renounceable rights issue of up to RM165,085,617 in nominal value of 5-year 5% redeemable convertible unsecured loan stocks ("RCULS") at 100% of its nominal value of RM1.00 on the basis of 3 RCULS for every 10 existing ordinary shares of Malayan Flour Mills Berhad ("MFLOUR" or "Company") ("MFLOUR Shares" or "Shares") held as at 5.00 p.m. on 27 December 2018 together with up to 82,542,808 new MFLOUR Shares ("Bonus Shares A") on the basis of 1 Bonus Share A for every 2 RCULS subscribed and up to 82,542,808 free detachable warrants)
