Cypark has a very good biz but directors/major shareholders are making themselves rich at the expense of other shareholders via cheap ESOS and private placements.
For those who were worry of Cypark heavy borrowing and high gearing, please note that RM 166 m of debt shown in Q1 2021, the latest Q, which has with no fixed redemption date is classified as equity instead of liability or debt. This classification will make Cypark to appear to have lower debts and debt gearing ratio at least on paper and distorted other financial figures as well. This debt will very likely to increase further to up to maximum of RM 500 m as provided under the MTN Program. In fact the amount in the previous Q was only RM 118 m. However our accounting standards allow to classify such perpetual debts as equity rather than liability. Some countries like our neighbor Thailand has recently disallowed to classify such debt as equity. Just take note.
guys, pls do take note that the company is a heavy capex intensive business. High borrowing is normal. but once their project is complete, cash flow would start coming in
I think the reason why the gearing is so high is because of the issuance of Sukuk in the year of 2019. But Cypark SUKUK has a AA3/Stable rating from RAM ratings which premised on Cypark is having sufficient liquidity to weather construction delays and the consequential revenue loss suffered by the three solar power projects being financed by the Sukuk. It has a press release confirm by RAM, I guess the company is geared up to cater for expansion plan which will translate into earnings in the future.
@moremoneyy i agreed with you especially the management did mentioned before they favour concessionaire projects where the project will be generating positive cashflow upon completion.
Cypark is in the right biz of renewable energy and environmental services which is getting more important now and in the future. The high gearing is of no issue at all and expected in the sort of investments being done in Cypark. The income from these investments are very robust and long term and more than sufficient to pay the debts. In fact for say IPP type of business with guaranteed off take by a utility , the gearing of 3 or more times is normal.Again the negative cash flow is expected for company that invest in this heavy upfront capex kind of projects and also due to rapid growth and expansion of Cypark. Cypark is currently very undervalued if we understand the company and its biz model even without factoring future growth and options. Current biz alone has value far above the current price level. What make the current price very depressed mainly due to major shareholders/ Directors doing things detrimental to other share holders interest. This is the real perception. In addition many people don’t really understand the Cypark biz. Cypark is probably the only plc that involve in all kind of green/renewable energy projects except to this date small hydros.
@Karlos, i do agree their revenue will increase tremendously once their LSS2, 3 and WTE has gone into production. and the high trade receivables / contract is expected in such business model.
however, whats your thought on the receivables that are past due for more thn 90 days? a total of 12.4million... this is not a heathy sign...
@AhHuat01, the 12.3 m that passed 90 days are from long term customers of more than 5 years relationship with Cypark and any way the amount is not very significant. As rightly pointed out by you, Cypark will receive very good revenue and cash flow once those LSS 2, 3 and WTE projects are in operation. Cypark expects WTE project at Ladang Tanah Merah to be commissioned at any time soon in the middle of this year and this project alone will generate around RM 80 m per year of revenue. In the space of renewable energy projects Cypark is the owner, developer and O&M operator not just as a contractor. In addition Cypark develop, construct. finance and operate some other companies renewable energy projects too.
In investing deep understanding of the biz is most important guide to invest or not in the company. Understand what behind the numbers will enhance our understanding of the past, current and especially future performance of the entity. In investing always look to the future and have our own rational view and conviction.
No need to break head to analyse. Just look at the structure of the company and it's members will shed light on their quality. Some do have political background without much business sense.
those who invests in Cypark see a very big revenue growth in their future earning, i am talking in-terms of their recurring revenue. also at the same time possibility of securing more EPCC contract.
HOWEVER, the management is selling off their share in the expenses of minority shareholder. Cypark business model is undoubtedly good, but it is thee management who is doing shitty stuff jeopardizing the shareprice...
some might argue their receivable is high, but this is out of the question, because once the solar farm/WTE is in operation, those receivable will be paid off via selling electrify to TNB. if you want to see tremendous reduction in their receivable, wait until their plant is fully operation.
so now the question is, WHEN??? they keep postpone their Commercial Operation Date...i know this is due to covid..but still... forever no ending COO date...
Cypark got a 60mwac floating solar farm will complete installation by October 2021 and will start sell to TNB. This project will give nearly RM200m a year. With assumption that solar will generate ppwer for 9-10 hours a day..
