This year total 3Q NP is already 92m, exceed FY 2021 whole year NP of 91M. Looks like FY 2022 revenue and net profits should be all time high. Even interim dividend increases from 9 sen to 12 sen. I expect final dividend will be more than 12 sen.

New Pioneer status for another 5 years, so what haha

"...out of the 4 applications submitted, MIDA has granted Uchi Optoelectronic (M) Sdn Bhd (“Uchi Opto”) (a wholly owned subsidiary of UTB) pioneer status for the activities of " Design, development and manufacture of configurable presence and distance sensing time-of-flight (CPDS-ToF) module" for a period of 5 years from the production date which will be fixed by the authorities at a later date."

How many applications were successful?

Posted by observatory > 2023-01-12 22:48 | Report Abuse

The company has clarified in a follow-up announcement today:

"We refer to the announcement made on 10 January 2023. Unless otherwise stated, all definitions and terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the previous announcement.

After consideration of the MIDA’s approval, UTB wishes to make further announcement as follows:-

The approved "Design, development and manufacture of configurable presence and distance sensing time-of-flight (CPDS-ToF) technology (“the approved technology”) is currently being adopted in the production of some new products beginning January 2023 for our customers.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, UTB expects that more than 1/6 of the Group's revenue will be generated from the new products categorized under the approved technology and profit generated will be tax exempted. The profit from the remaining of the Group’s revenue will be taxable at the statutory tax rate of 24%. Thus, the effective tax rate of the Group for the current year is estimated to be higher than the preceding years.
Uchi Opto will also adopt the approved technology into other new products and the effective tax rate for the Group shall improve over time.
In the meantime, Uchi Opto wishes to clarify further that the other 3 Applications submitted were not approved by MIDA and Uchi Opto endeavours to look into new applications for incentives.
This announcement is dated 12 January 2023."

Effective tax rate will go up. At least in the short term.

Posted by hng33 > 2023-01-13 18:51 | Report Abuse

Uchitech EPS will be decrease by 20% due to 5/6 product now are taxable at 24%, only 1/6 remain tax exampted.

Posted by Value Investor Coo1eo > 2023-01-15 13:35 | Report Abuse

OK - the impact will be significant. FY23 Uchi is not expected to do as well as FY22 because -
1. Sales will be flattish, or lower - topline lower
2. RM strenghtening - bottom line lower
3. Taxes - bottom line lower - EPS lower
4. Dividends will be slashed

Party is over.....thanks to MIDA and this Unity Government that is trying to get extra revenue anyway they can....

Share price will head south and finally normalise to abut RM2.35~2.5 given the forward looking PEx in the next few weeks/months.

Downtrend is inevitable. Trade cautiously.

Aiyoyo !!! Base on what Coo Coo said, this counter gone case lioa. Please sell like no tomorrow!!!!! Sell at 2.35 or below so that Coo ku can buy cheap cheap from you.

I no value investing one, can tell those who wan to sell you cheap cheap how do you
value Uchi at 2.35 ar? Can show calculation ar ? I oso wan to learn lor.

Posted by Value Investor Coo1eo > 2023-01-16 11:04 | Report Abuse

899 you are just fly here. tkss.
RM2.35~2.5 is what I THINK the market will price Uchi given the factors i listed above. Just my estimate as Mr Market can be bearish given that Uchi has no other growth drivers (unless you know something I dont)
Anyways...no one understands Mr Market truly, and I could be wrong. Maybe fly up to RM5?

What show calculation? U want to learn? I dont think so, KNN
...you just want to mock at people. bugger off!
Calculate yourself....CCB

No doubt for year 2023 will be quite challenging for Uchi, however given that their customer is considered one of the best in the coffee machine market. Consensus estimate world coffee machine market will growth about 4~7% CAGR and this might mitigate some of the taxation issue and over the long run it is good as not to rely on pioneer status for bottom line growth. A single customer is the risk on Uchi as like ATAIMS and this is why market doesn't give a high PE ( 30+ ) to Uchi.
Nevertheless they have been in the market for over 30 years and work very well with the customer not only based on the requirements, they co-develop the module with their customer and the design normally would take years and switching them with new EMS is just quite unlikely.

Good points Gen2. Appreciate inputs and arguments.
Uchi will need to adapt to the "new norm" and find ways to grow.
Will just ignore this fly who is clueless.

Normally, the company subsidiary will have new technology products that will qualify for the pioneer status.
Hopefully, this 1st half 2023 have some new innovation that will qualify an extension.

Bro, the announcement already stated very clearly. I don't think
there will be any new technology product. But believe the management
will look into ways to improve the company's bottom line. Below are
Part of the announcement dated 12th Jan.

Uchitec's margin so high, let the PH Govt tax abit la while applying for more exemptions on new designs. More important is the good governance and ways to increased customers base and therefore increased revenue
