KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 5): TIME dotCom Bhd is collaborating with Facebook to invest in internet infrastructure in Malaysia, which will further open up the nation to more connections and international hubs.
In a statement today, Time dotCom said the network infrastructure project is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of next year, which will be exclusively for Facebook and its family of applications.
However, it did not elaborate on the kind of infrastructure that the parties intend to build.
“Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to build communities and bring the world closer together. This partnership will allow us to build a faster and more efficient network to better support our family of apps and services,” said Nico Roehrich, Facebook network investment manager, APAC.
Time dotCom head of OTT, Chiew Kok Hin, said the company is looking forward to the partnership, as it will pave the way for Malaysia to establish itself as a regional technology hub.
“More international connectivity and a robust domestic backbone will attract sizeable investments into Malaysia. It only makes sense for us to capitalise on the strategic location of Malaysia in Southeast Asia, ease of access and relatively lower cost of entry,” Chiew said.
Time dotCom said the government has been constantly reviewing policies, laws and regulations to adapt to the fast-changing global market landscape, noting steps taken by the Transport Ministry to simplify regulatory approval for local and foreign vessels carrying out undersea cable repairs within Malaysian waters.
It also said significant steps have been taken to boost Malaysia’s competitiveness to make the country attractive to global technology giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, Alibaba and Tencent, which are not only investors of submarine cables but also builders of hyperscale data centres.
At 3.09pm, Time dotCom fell 3 sen or 0.33% to RM9.17, giving it a market capitalisation of RM5.37 billion.
TIMECOM's earning performance has been increasing in last five years, whereby its earning per share overall increased from 30.34 sen to 49.13 sen. Return on equity is around 12%. Share price remained steady at around RM8 to RM9 in last three years. Dividend yield is around 2.23%.
Based on comparison of 6 major telecommunications services providers in Malaysia, it is found that TIMECOM is not ranked as one of the TOP 3 telecommunications counters worthy to invest in. However, TIMECOM stands out in performance indicators such as having the highest share price (RM9.16), which has been steady in the last few years, as well as having the highest earning per share. It also has relatively low P/E ratio (16.92) compared to other counters.
Ah, KIRZ impairments of about RM22.1m knocked down the profits this Q.
One thing i find interesting, is that their (failed?) venture into thailand cost only RM22.1+RM11.7 (Investment of THB87.4m), for a grand total RM33.8m.
Not bad, costs alot less than what i would have expected.

• Consolidated Group revenue grew 12% year-on-year
• Revenue growth recorded across all core product groups and core customer groups
Shah Alam, 28 May 2020 – TIME dotCom Berhad (“TIME” or “the Group”) recorded consolidated
Group revenue of RM293.9 million for the quarter ended 31 March 2020. The 12.0% increase

economy at large. Thankfully, we enter this period with a robust operational framework and a solid
balance sheet. This should help us weather through the rest of the year as we adapt to the
challenges posed by COVID-19,” said Afzal Abdul Rahim, TIME’s Commander-in-Chief.
Outlook
The first quarter of 2020 saw the enforcement of the Movement Control Order (“MCO”) in Malaysia

2020, and its impact on consumers and businesses across the country has been profound. As an
“Essential Service”, the Group has continued to operate throughout this period. At this stage, it is
too early to determine the full impact that COVID-19 and the MCO will have on the Group.
The Group’s immediate and ongoing priorities are to safeguard the health of all its employees and
to ensure 100% network availability and stability through these challenging times. In the mediumterm, the Group will continue to focus on supporting the Malaysian government achieve its national
telecommunications objectives by strengthening and expanding its existing domestic fibre network
infrastructure.

player and operator with the intention to unlock the long-term potential of its data centre business.

Time DotCom Assuming the Company is able to generate 10-15% growth consistently over the years and couple with the continuous cash generation as per % of sales, with an average industry PE of 20 (conservative PE) the company could derive a fair value of RM 14.97 which is 37-38% upside from their current share price. https://jawplace.com/the-growth-of-data-usage/
Share price = RM 10.86 Market Capitalisation = 6,599 million Net Cash Position = 420 million Cash per share = 0.70 cents (one of the highest cash per share company in bursa Malaysia) Current PE = 18 (Compare to TM pe of 31.27. Industry PE range 20 to 25). EV/ EBITDA = 11.59 ROE = 11% (Industry average of 8-10%) NTA = 4.63 Debt Ratio = 0.03 Cash flow to sales ratio = 55% (layman term – more than 50% of their sales are converted to cash) Average Profit Margin = 30% – 40 Assuming the Company is able to generate 10-15% growth consistently over the years and couple with the continuous cash generation as per % of sales, with an average industry PE of 20 (conservative PE) the company could derive a fair value of RM 14.97 which is 37-38% upside from their current share price.
