Key summary from VS Industry's (VSI MK , BUY, TP:MYR1.85) briefing following a media report on the termination of the company's engagement with a labour activist on labour related matters:
Essentially, management clarified that the termination was not an acrimonious one. It stemmed from disagreement or different opinions on various aspects of the social compliance audit VS is conducting including the choice of auditor and the scope.
The appointed independent auditor, PwC has started the auditing process in accordance to the 11 ILO indicators since the start of the month and it is expected to be completed in 3-4 months' time.
Management explained that PwC is chosen by VSI' Board of Director due to the strong reputation internationally and hence believe the findings by the audit firm will be widely recognized.
Management further clarified that the decision to widen the scope to cover all labour including local and foreign from the past and in the present is to ensure comprehensive and conclusive findings can be produced from the audit.
The company has been updating its major customers on the progress of the engagement and did not receive any objection on PwC as the independent auditor.
Management does not expect the termination of engagement to affect its business fundamentals and the chances to secure new contracts.
Has Andy Hall anything to do with VS Industry?s share price tanking? By Cheah Chor Sooi 2 hours ago in Markets, Top
NOBODY knows for sure if the tanking of VS Industry Bhd?s share price this morning (March 3) has anything to do with migrant worker rights specialist Andy Hall withdrawing his voluntary engagement with Johor-based electronics manufacturing services (EMS) outfit after a fruitless thee-month collaboration.
The labour activist attributed his withdrawal to VS Industry?s failure to honour its previous commitments made publicly to Bursa Malaysia and ?particularly by having unilaterally selected an auditor to conduct an independent third-party social compliance audit (concerning its irregular workers situation) without consultation with me?.
Share price of the company started to nosedive from its yesterday?s (March 2) closing price of RM1.10 around 10.45am before hitting an intra-day low of 92.5 sen which was also its 52-week low over the next half an hour.
However, VS Industry was able to pare losses by climbing back to close down 10 sen or 9.09% at RM1 at the close of today?s mid-day trading by being the second most actively traded stock with 74.1 million shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM3.83 bil.
?Limited information on the audit methodology has been shared. VS has stated the full audit findings will not be shared with me,? Hall pointed out in a WhatsApp statement.
?In addition, VS stated that the audit will take three to four months and an unnamed independent labour rights expert and lawyer will supplement the audit methodology by PwC Consulting Associates (M) Sdn Bhd.?
Elsewhere, fellow EMS peer SKP Resources Bhd, too, was somehow rocked by the fate of VS Industry. SKP had in December last year joined VS Industry to engage Hall on ways to improve the welfare of their foreign workforce.
The counter shed 4 sen or 2.90% at the close of mid-day trading to RM1.34 (after touching an intra-day low of RM1.32) with 5.52 million shares traded which gave the company a market capitalisation of RM2.09 bil.
Meanwhile, ATA IMS Bhd closed the mid-day trading unchanged at 39 sen with 5.05 million shares traded, thus valuing the company at RM470 mil.
In its recent assessment of ATA IMS, CGS-CIMB Research has reiterated its ?reduce? stance with an unchanged target price of 29 sen ?as we continue to forecast losses for ATA going into FY3/2023-FY3/2024F.
?We will turn more bullish on earnings prospects once we see (i) the entry of new customer; and (ii) clearer signs of its cost-cutting measures bearing fruit going into FY3/2023F,? opined analyst Nagulan Ravi in a results review.
For its 9M FY3/2022 period, ATA IMS? net profit has shrunk almost 86% to RM17.74 mil (9M FY3/2021: RM123.36 mil) while its revenue has dwindled 33% t;o RM2.17 bil (9M FY3/2021: RM3.25 bil).
For the record, UK electrical appliance giant Dyson which currently contributes 80% of ATA IMS? revenue will cease to be the latter?s main customer on June 1 following a termination notice on Nov 24 last year. ? March 3, 2022
By the way, this nepalese englishman Andy Hall keep poking at Malaysia matter for what? India have far worse human right issues..
May be he wants to get involves and see the audit process through so he gets clarity.. not just some report from own appointed audit firm assessment from VC. Or he just wants some money through that smaller audit firm? who knows.
nicholas99, well, nobody knows what's he is upto underneath - why he wants VS to appoint "his preferred" audit firm, if we google PWC consulting firm, it is not a small roadside company at all, the audit scope and work involved would not be smaller or less-thorough than ''his preferred'' audit firm at any time in my opinion, so If his intention is solely just to help the foreign workers for greater benefits and goods, i believe PWC will deliver a fair audit at the end of the day as well, whether it is PWC or ABC audit firm that should not matter so much..and not to mention the fees of hiring is paid by VS, so naturally VS wants to appoint the company they deem suitable and reputable. Just my opinion based on the updates/news I saw above..
malaysians are a nice lot. if andy hall was in indonesia, thailand or india, they would not negotiate with him. they would use other metods to deal with him. gow looka at uSA and UK human rights. in UK the have paki bashing, a favorite past time. IN us the blacks are constanly harressed. go fight for the pakis and the black and not pick on a soft target like malaysia
we shud spit at andy halls face when we see him. he is basically an international economic saboteur. he has contributed nothing.' becos f him malaysia has lost billions and ataims may lose a huge chunck of business. people will lose jobs. what has tenagaanita to say to this. i believe that they are good friends of andy hall.
plse be wise to see wolves in sheep clothing. dont sabotage your own country. otherwise one day your daughters may end up working as maids in philipines and indonesia.
if they workin in sangapore or HKG ada class sikit. but they may end up in indon and philipines. the english speaking go to philipines and the BM speaking go to Indonesia
