Green Packet doubles revenue BUSINESS Wednesday, 27 Nov 2019
PETALING JAYA: GREEN PACKET BHD has announced a net profit of RM5.6mil and doubled its revenue to RM185.6mil in its third quarter ended Sept 30.
The group in a statement said it experienced strong revenue growth across all its business pillars, with its solutions business that sells communications-related software and devices growing by a huge 468% year-on-year (y-o-y).
Its communication services pillar recorded a quarterly y-o-y revenue growth of 83%. The group’s new digital services pillar showed a revenue growth of 125%.
Group managing director and chief executive officer C C Puan said that the staple solutions business that provides connectivity devices to global telecoms brings in the cash for Green Packet to reinvest in its future.
“Initiatives were carried out to enable the solutions business to optimise for growth. These included an internal management reconfiguration, stronger penetration into targeted markets, and the leveraging of fresh strategic partnerships.
The results are exciting and we will continue to breathe new life into our legacy business.”
Due to the higher revenue gains, the group’s profit in the third quarter reversed a loss of RM14mil in the third quarter of 2018. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) for the latest quarter rose to RM12.2mil compared with a loss of RM7.7mil a year ago.
For the first nine months of the year, Green Packet recorded a revenue of RM407.9mil compared with RM302.6mil previously and an Ebitda of RM2.4mil compared with a loss of RM13.6mil.
Green Packet said it is banking on its digital services pillar, which saw revenue grow 125% from last year, to drive future sustainable growth.
It is invested in fintech and proptech, and via its associate company G3 Global Bhd has ventured into artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things. Green Packet is a major shareholder in G3 with a 32% stake.
Green Packet said new ventures of suites of services under the kiple name were still in their investment phase.
However, Puan said the businesses were achieving important product market fit and value-creation milestones, and growth indicators were trending upwards.
Puan said he is confident the group’s new digital ventures would catch the tail wind for onward positive growth. “All these frontier technologies will be propelled by the region’s IR4.0 mandate as a key economic driver and all use-case potential will be unlocked by the arrival of 5G.
“The most difficult part of shifting to new growth areas and industries is done. Now we are driving results and keeping our eyes on the numbers, ” said Puan.

Ltd of China for a proposed joint venture to set up an AI Park in Malaysia for the development of AI solutions and other related technology, facilities andinfrastruture. The project is still pending signing of any agreement.
KENDALL COURT MADAM LIMITED could sapu more shares from the open market too. Acquired a stake at 85sen in Feb 2020. Now below 50sen. Very likely, Kendall will buy more from the open market to reduce its weighted average cost per share :)
Green Packet Bhd saw 47.2 million shares, or a 5.1% stake, worth RM40.36 million change hands, Bloomberg data shows.
Filings with Bursa show that on Feb 19, Summit Synergy Ltd acquired 35 million Green Packet shares for 85 sen apiece, or a total transaction value of RM29.75 million. This brought its stake in the company to 100 million shares, or a 10.8% stake. Summit Synergy is the vehicle of Singapore-based private equity firm Kendall Court.
On Feb 10, Green Packet announced that its subsidiary Kiplepay Sdn Bhd had become the first fintech player in Malaysia to provide a white-labelled e-wallet solution with Bank Negara Malaysia’s approval.
Each gpacket share also includes about 27sen of G3 shares. at 49sen now, gp share is only 22sen after excluding G3 share in it. No wonder, Kendall court paid 85sen for gp share in Feb 2020 recently.
Good buy now.
Private placement for about 10% of GP's authorised shares should be at least 85sen later this year. Otherwise, kendall court would not agree.
Hopefully, kendall court increases its stake in GP to 20% from 10%+ now by buying from the open market now to lower its weighted average cost per GP share.
Kendall has the means to increase its stake in GP.... :)
Kendall Court started in 2004. The 3 founding partners were the only employees of the firm. At the end of 2017, we have deployed, invested and managed over US$500 million across Southeast Asia. We started with assets under management of US$35 million. We have a presence in Indonesia, Singapore, Philippines and Malaysia. We have won several key industry and regional awards for our investments, operations and performance.
Kendall Court focuses its activities in the private equity space. We are a long-term investor and our capital is privately sourced. Our existing funds and managed accounts focus on investing in hybrid securities ranging from straight debt, convertible bonds, preference shares and straight equity. We are a growth capital provider, first and foremost. In line with our drive, our ultimate and primary purpose in investing is to contribute to the development and betterment of society, within our circle of influence. We care a lot about risk adjusted returns and recognize that the best investing structure is to attain equity returns with debt like risk. We will actively assist our investees but the fundamental premise is work alongside good solid management be it sponsors or employees and grow together.
We believe that capital, when employed wisely through business, plays an instrumental role (if not the most instrumental in certain cases) in developing people, markets and economies. A rising tide lifts all boats, and the tide is raised by capital. Our capital has to be sustainable, however. And that means that we will always still be engaged in the profit motive because Kendall Court and our investors need to be sustained through our profits. To sum up, we borrow a line from Paul Krugman, the 2008 Nobel laureate in Economics, who states, "You could say – and I would – that globalization, driven not by human goodness but by the profit motive, has done far more good for far more people than all the foreign aid and soft loans ever provided by well-intentioned governments and international agencies.”
Kiplepay Sdn Bhd, a unit of Green Packet Bhd, recently teamed up with the Coalition of Malay Small Traders Association (GPPPKMM) to launch a ‘Warong Digital e-Bazaar Ramadan’ programme. The programme uses Kiplepay’s e-wallet, which allows local traders to conduct online transactions and provides a cashless experience for customers.
Launched on April 16, the ‘Warong Digital e-Bazaar Ramadan’ programme is meant to enable small traders and local hawkers to operate their businesses online throughout the month of Ramadan, which is expected to begin on April 24. Buy before it flies.
