Taliworks to expand locally and regionally with EPF ties

PETALING JAYA: Taliworks Corp Bhd, an infrastructure outfit, that has a tie-up with the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) to acquire and operate concession-based assets has set it sights on a few more targets locally and abroad.

This is in line with the ambitions of the provident fund to grow concession assets with predictable cashflows and comes after the completion of its second joint venture with the EPF for a toll road concession in Klang Valley.

Armed with cash from its corporate exercises over the last two years, the company is now ready to do at least three mergers and acquisitions (M&A) that are in line with EPF’s investment strategy, according to a senior executive of Taliworks.

Taliworks executive director Ronnie Y.B. Lim said it would look for growth opportunities in areas where it has expertise in Malaysia and other developed countries.

The areas are waste management, toll operations and renewable energy in Malaysia and other developed markets and the countries it seeks to venture into are Singapore, Japan, South Korea, selected European countries and the US.

“We are looking at assets that give a minimum equity return of 12% with low gearing.

“As of now we have RM200mil cash at the holding company level, of which RM140mil came from the recent private placement exercise and the gain from the sale of 50% in Pinggiran Muhibbah Sdn Bhd,” he said. “The toll concession subsidiary also has a cash surplus of about RM120mil.”

Recently the EPF paid Taliworks RM66.5mil for a 50% stake in toll concession company Pinggiran Muhibbah which operates and maintains the New North Klang Straits Bypass Expressway.

EPF deputy chief executive officer (investment) Mohamad Nasir Ab Latif said the second investment that EPF had with Taliworks illustrated its effort to increase exposure in real assets with predictable cash flow.

EPF’s first venture with Taliworks involved taking a 49% stake in Cerah Sama Sdn Bhd which in turn is a holding company for Grand Saga Sdn Bhd, the concession holder of the 11.5km Cheras-Kajang Highway. The provident fund paid nearly RM69mil for the stake in a deal completed in August last year.

Taliworks views its expansion plan as an effort to be an internationally recognised brand name which owns concession-based assets.

Taliworks also recently completed a share split exercise and a free warrants issuance, with the aim to enhance the group’s trading liquidity and to attract more investors.

With all these developments, the company, with market capitalisation of RM1.8bil, was included in MSCI Global Small Cap Index on Nov 30.

Toll road concessions aside, Taliworks’ core business is the treatment and supply of water. Towards this end, it is the sole end-to-end operator in Langkawi as well as the operator of Sungai Selangor Phase 1 (SSP1) water treatment plant.

The plant belongs to Syarikat Pengeluar Air Sungai Selangor Sdn Bhd (Splash).

Splash is currently a water concessionaire and has been engaged in talks with the Selangor government for a takeover in line with the state’s objective to consolidate and restructure the water industry.

“The timeframe for the water restructuring to be completed will be in July 2016 and we are optimistic of a conclusion this time around. Post-acquisition, we will still be an operator of the SSP1 to the state government,” said Ronnie.

Pending the consolidation, the hikes in water tariff in the state have been put on hold, as a result of which water treatment companies such as Splash incurred huge receivables. Contractors for Splash such as Taliworks are also facing payment delays.

Taliworks has more than RM337mil due from Splash as at the end of its last financial year.

Nevertheless, Taliworks’ net profit of about RM41mil for the first nine months this year had already exceeded the full-year core operational net profit of RM30mil in 2014.

The company also has a dividend policy of 75% from its profit after tax. It has just announced its third interim dividend for this year.
