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%.

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.

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

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

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)

Perak penang water transfer have change from raw water to treated water. Therefore, PBA needless to built new water treatment plant to process raw water. These massive capex will alleviate PBA cash hoard forward. PBA only need to lay new pipeline to connect Perak water treatment plant to Penang mainland seberang prai, which free up existing PBA own water capacity to focus supply water to its island Penang.
With direct transfer treated water fro Perak instead of raw water, Penang water traffic will hike much more higher forward.
