Glove makers unlikely to be severely impacted by softening prices
No panic:Other glove makers are not likely to report a decline in ASPs as experienced by Top Glove in its third quarter ended May 31, 2021. —AFP

THE recent double-digit dip in glove ASPs (average selling prices) for Top Glove Corp Bhd is not likely to be mirrored by other glove makers, due to certain factors that are unique to the world’s largest glovemaker, say research analysts.

An industry observer told StarBizWeek that other glove makers may not see a similar dip in ASPs quarter-on-quarter, as their ASPs previously had lagged that of Top Glove.

“Part of the reason Top Glove’s ASPs fell was because of the United States Customs and Border Protection’s (US CBP) withhold release order (WRO) resulting in a fall in sales to the United States. Note that selling prices to the United States are higher than the global average. So, the group had to divert orders away from the United States (to other regions with lower ASPs), ” explained the industry observer.

“So, the fall in ASPs from Top Glove is a natural convergence in pricing. However, we do expect glove ASPs (globally) to fall in the third quarter of 2021, ” he said.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 9): Top Glove Corporation Bhd plans to step up its rubber glove sales via tenders in view of the delivery time of at least one year, and the opportunity to take advantage of the current average selling prices.

“Right now the prices for gloves are still high, so it is a good time to go for tender business. We have closed a few tender businesses in the Middle East,” the group's managing director Datuk Lee Kim Meow said in a virtual briefing today.

He also said Top Gloves no longer receives a lot of spot orders from clients, adding that the group now has the capacity to fulfill contractual orders.

“It is not like last year where a lot of customers came and asked for spot orders. We do not see this [trend] any longer,” he said.

Top Glove's annual glove production capacity hit 100 billion pieces this month and is expected to increase to 111 billion by the end of this year.

Supermx now is a bit off confident level due to constant rogue IB and shorties constantly bashing the gloves stocks on lower ASP n overcapacity.

The coronavirus variant driving India’s devastating Covid-19 second wave is the most infectious to emerge so far. Doctors now want to know if it’s also more severe.

Hearing impairment, severe gastric upsets and blood clots leading to gangrene, symptoms not typically seen in Covid patients, have been linked by doctors in India to the so-called delta variant. In England and Scotland, early evidence suggests the strain -- which is also now dominant there -- carries a higher risk of hospitalization.

Investing in companies with poor financial strength has a higher risk of permanent loss of capital. Thus, it is important to carefully review the financial strength of a company before deciding whether to buy its stock.
It is less risky to invest in profitable companies, especially those with consistent profitability over long term. A company with high profit margins is usually a safer investment than those with low profit margins. Top Glove Bhd has been profitable 10 over the past 10 years. Over the past twelve months, the company had a revenue of USD $3.6 billion and earnings of USD $0.792 a share. Its operating margin is 58.18%, which ranks better than 99% of the companies in the industry of Medical Devices & Instruments.

The founders started Supermax in 1987 as a trading business to distribute latex gloves. In 1989 the company ventured into the manufacturing of latex gloves. Today, the Supermax Group has twelve factories manufacturing various types of nitrile latex and natural rubber gloves, which are exported to over 165 countries around the world. Supermax has production capacity of about 24.0 billion pieces of gloves per annum and will end the calendar year 2020 with just over 26 billion pieces in installed capacity. Its order book has swelled to over 23 billion pieces of gloves from 7 billion pieces pre-Covid-19. The Group has accelerated its expansion program and for the first time in its history, will be constructing 5 factories simultaneously. Production lines will be commissioned progressively at each plant with about 10 billion pieces added to installed capacity in calendar year 2021 and another 12 billion pieces added in 2022. RM1.3 billion has been allocated for this expansion program over the next 2 years.

Besides its principal business of making gloves, Supermax has invested RM100 million in a state-of-the-art contact lens manufacturing facility (SuperVision Optimax). SuperVision is capable of producing a wide range of affordable lenses that are in demand in the marketplace and is marketed under the brand “AVEO”. It is the first homegrown contacts lens manufacturer. The Supermax Group has also ventured into face mask manufacturing to expand its PPE product offerings.

Worldwide material shortages

As a result of significant increased demand for PPE due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PPE industry is under threat from a worldwide shortage of nitrile – the material used for gloves that enables protection for longer periods of wear. Estimated presold quantity in Malaysia as at January 2021 is 160 billion gloves which is the equivalent of 6.86 months of production capacity thus leading to a long lead time until year end. In addition, according to the Malaysian manufacturers' association MARGMA, worldwide demand is projected to rise from 296 billion in 2019 to 420 billion this year, an expected year-on-year annual growth of between 15-20%. With glove manufacturers flat out currently, this isn’t a deficit that will quickly be resolved.

Due to current shortages in nitrile raw materials, glove manufacturers are converting some production lines over from nitrile to latex, to ensure production capacity is kept running to a maximum and supply continues.

Fraudulent PPE
The shortages of PPE at the beginning of the pandemic led to fraudsters producing fake, unregulated or inferior quality products, therefore posing a risk to the healthcare workers putting their lives on the line through inadequate protection.

It’s imperative that those purchasing PPE understand how to ensure they are buying legitimate and certified PPE to avoid fake equipment that doesn’t actually protect workers and patients.

We ourselves have seen fraudsters trying to replicate our brand over the past year as groups attempted to cash-in on the increased demand for protective equipment.
With this in mind, here are the five key areas that certified and registered PPE will fall under:

Notified bodies – An organisation designated by an EU country to assess the conformity of certain products before being placed on the market. All notified bodies which are designated to assess PPE are listed on the EU Commission’s NANDO (New Approach Notified and Designated Organisations) website which is updated regularly, so purchasers should look for products that have been certified by notified bodies.

CE markings – Indicate that the product has been assessed by the manufacturer and deemed to meet EU safety, health and environmental protection requirements – a requirement for products placed on the EU market that are manufactured anywhere in the world. The manufacturer providing the EU market with the product is obliged to issue a declaration of conformity, meaning they take full responsibility for placing the product on the EU market.

Technical file – Provides information on the design, manufacture, and operation of a product and must demonstrate the product conforms to the applicable requirements. The technical documentation is necessary to prove the product meets the essential requirements to justify and support an EU declaration of conformity.

EU declaration of conformity – A mandatory document that a manufacturer or the authorised representative need to sign to declare the products comply with the EU requirements. The document must reflect: manufacturer, the address, implementation standard, ingredient content, production batch number, production date and expiration date, to name a few. Suppliers of gloves and masks should provide the technical file and EU Declaration of Conformity.

EN standards – Medical products on the EU market should comply with EN standards. For example, masks should comply with EN 14683 and EN149 standards and gloves should comply with EN 455 and EN 374 standards. A lot of businesses that are supplying fake and unsuitable PPE will have the wrong standard in relation to the given masks or gloves.

Those so cheap gloves selling on online are mostly fraud and low quality without any standard. Some gloves factories rejected gloves are bought by fraudster in bulk and being sold cheap online. They may box n packaging as Top brand from Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, June 1 — The Malaysian Rubber Gloves Manufacturers Association (Margma) has assured that its members will cope to ensure there is no severe shortage of important personal protective equipment (PPE) items worldwide even with the 60 per cent workforce ruling due to the movement control order (MCO) 3.0.
President Supramaniam Shanmugam said the current lead times on delivery would be slightly longer as Malaysian manufacturers produce 67 per cent of global supply.
“We hence have a responsibility to all humanity of the world and we will do our best to manage the situation,” he said in a statement today.
He said Margma is mindful that its members must do their best to alleviate the shortage of medical glove supply as there is dire need of this critical PPE item. As such, the association urged the members to assist India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and many South American nations by providing more medical gloves

“Demand for gloves remains extremely robust for the healthcare sector and we are gearing up to meet the demand of the non-healthcare sectors which are slowly but surely moving towards a recovery programme.

“As Europe and America move towards a recovery economic agenda, it means the awakening of the non-healthcare sectors such as food handling, industrial, cleanroom laboratory, dermatology and tattooing,” he said.

Supramaniam said traditionally, the non-healthcare sectors required about 17 per cent of all gloves produced and this would be a hefty number to contend with.

He said the implementation of MCO 3.0 is an understandable move and would be in support of the government’s effort to combat the rampaging Covid-19 cases currently prevailing in the country.

He added that the global community is advised to be cautious not to get conned and scammed by promises of quick and cheap shipments. — Bernama

I agreed with PJ Seow gradual drop of ASP will not any significant changes in PAT in each qtr bc of planned higher capacity expansion in 2021/2022. Even it drop to USD46 at end of 2022, the supermax capacity already increase to 48b. The PAT will be almost the same as year 2021.

Shorties had invested long and value of investment are:
TG -1.26b
Spmx -252m
Harta -530m
Kossan-76m

The interest/dividend they had already paid to Ib lenders should big amount. Also they also spend big on theedge papers publishing bad news about gloves and hired IB analyst to spreading fake news.. There is also big spending on private lb lending which no body know the exact amount. That's why the shorties gang are asking u to sell every day n night in order for them to cover at very low price.

Shorties had invested long since Jan1. Until now , did not cover. They think Supermax is good investment. They are happy to pay high dividend/high interest to IB lenders.

TG had increased the gloves output from 93b to 100b since March 2021.
Expecting the next QR revenue of 6.5b and PAT at least 3.2b.
Assuming 90% efficiency, 32% operating expenses and ASP US 75.

Euro 2020: Will there be fans in stadiums?
A year after Euro 2020 was postponed, the plan for the rearranged tournament remains unclear. UEFA appear to be demanding fans in stadiums in multiple cities, but is that possible? The hosts themselves are not so sure.
Despite Ceferin's insistence, the last year has thrown up numerous reminders that little can be securely planned during a pandemic. Just last week in India, for example, a rise in infection rates meant that a series of cricket matches between England and India went from having more than 60,000 in attendance on Friday to none on Tuesday.
