FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Kuala Lumpur, 21st August 2019 2 The business portfolio restructuring initiative aimed at achieving the preferred portfolio mix of Motor (30%) and Non-motor (70%), is part of the Group’s strategy to ensure the sustainability and profitability of its Malaysian General Insurance business. While TPM prudently manages its motor portfolio, it is also focusing towards growing the non- motor segment, specifically in retail, affinity and small medium enterprises/industries. Encouraging B2B Travel business cushioned decline in TPR revenue Meanwhile, TPR recorded a lower quarterly GWP, down by 15% YoY at RM23.5 million, while first half GWP was down by 17.9% YoY at RM46.6 million. TPR’s quarterly PAT declined to RM9.2 million (down 24.3% YoY) and first half PAT dropped to RM21.7 million (down 10.2% YoY). The decline in GWP was partly due to the impact on the modification of TPR’s travel partner’s webpage user interface and user experience design, though the real-time optimisation of travel insurance aided in alleviating the overall impact, while the decline in PAT corresponded to the lower GWP. Nevertheless, TPR saw encouraging EMEIA (Europe, Middle East, India and Africa) sales via its Business-to-Business (‘B2B’) channel, with key markets like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia registering compelling growths. Overseas Ventures continued growth momentum The Group’s share of results from Overseas Ventures was RM2.5 million for the first half of 2019, translating into a 96.1% YoY growth. The TP EMEIA operations continued to see good traction in its B2B channel while TPT enjoyed growth in the non-motor segment. “While we recognise that the Group’s second quarter OR and PAT are lower YoY (on par if on a normalised basis), we reiterate that GAIN is on track and poised to enhance our position in the medium-term as a leading digital insurer in the region,” said Khoo Ai Lin (‘Ai Lin’), Group Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect. Since the introduction of GAIN earlier this year, the Group has seen growing traction in each of its four transformation pillars – (Go ASEAN, AirAsia ecosystem, Insurtech capabilities and National business). Go ASEAN The Group’s business outlook in ASEAN remains bright with the successful signing of a partnership agreement with BaoViet, the largest general insurance company in Vietnam. Currently, integration works are underway in anticipation of the launch in 3Q2019. The Group’s General Insurance business in Thailand has sealed the deal with TieThai to distribute Travel Insurance with visa-on-arrival via its mobile application.
AirAsia Ecosystem Since the implementation of the revenue optimisation initiative leveraging machine learning capabilities in several key markets, the Group has started to yield positive results with the initiative contributing to 3% to the overall AirAsia Travel protection business in 2Q2019. The Group is also looking at other insurance revenue and optimisation initiatives on the airline booking platform. During the 2Q2019, activation of the AirAsia Travel & Service Centres (ATSC), one of the offline channels took place in Vietnam, Macau and the Philippines, whereby Travel insurance is now distributed by the ATSCs. Plans are underway to rollout offline channels in Thailand, China and Indonesia in 4Q2019. The Group will further align its structure to maximise and leverage on the relationship with the AirAsia ecosystem in growing its businesses. Insurtech Capabilities Tune Protect continues to mark stronger presence in the insurtech space, having recently established its insurtech arm, White Label. The Group expects to consolidate all its homegrown digital assets under one roof, with White Label playing a vital role in monetising the group’s technology assets moving forward. The partnership with BaoViet is the first digital partnership where BaoViet will leverage on the Group’s insurtech capabilities to grow its presence in the Vietnam market. National Business The Malaysia entity looks to grow its retail non-motor and SME/SMI segments. In May, it introduced Business Shield which is catered to business owners and distributed by its agency force, and in August, Pay-As-You-Drive was officially launched and is now available for purchase through agency channel and online at www.tuneprotect.com . Soon, TPM will be launching a new Motorist Personal Accident insurance product. Forging Forward The Group foresees that the economic and insurance landscape will continue to be challenging in the region. To drive future growth, the Group will intensify its efforts on delivering its key transformational pillars in ASEAN business, AirAsia ecosystems, insurtech capabilities andnational business to contribute towards underwriting profits and other incomes leveraging on Insurtech. In pursuit of being a leading digital insurer, the Group commits to strengthening its Insurtech capabilities by growing key expertise and expanding the team, in preparation towards monetising its digital and technology assets in the region. “It is critical for us to strengthen the Group’s technology and Insurtech capabilities, as they can help the Group to understand our customers and markets better, to stay relevant, and to compete better in this crowded industry. Moving forward, we will be expanding our presence in ASEAN,” Ai Lin concluded.
Good to invite the korean investors again at current cheap price :)
Entry of South Korean investor in Tune Protect could remove overhang, accelerate growth — UOB Kay Hian Sulhi Azman / theedgemarkets.com
September 11, 2017 15:09 pm +08
-A+A KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 11): The potential entry of a South Korean investor into Tune Protect Group Bhd could remove any potential share overhang, while helping the insurer to accelerate growth of its business overseas, according to UOB Kay Hian Securities (M) Sdn Bhd.
“Assuming that this news report is true, we view this positively,” UOB Kay Hian analyst Keith Wee Teck Keong said in a note to clients today, as the broker kept a “Buy” call on the stock, with a target price of RM1.40.
“As such, securing a strategic partner to dispose their stake to would be viewed positively by the market, as it removes any potential share overhang from open market disposal, and also helps the group to bring in a potential strategic shareholder who can add further value to help accelerate its overseas business expansion strategy,” Wee added.
Wee’s remark was following a report by The Edge Weekly, which had — in its latest issue — said a South Korean investor is keen to take up a stake in Tune Protect and consequently, could emerge as a substantial shareholder “soon”.
The entry of the South Korean party could be via the sale of stake by Tune Protect’s controlling shareholders — Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun — both of whom collectively own an indirect stake of 29.42%.
In Tune Protect, Fernandes and Kamarudin hold a combined direct stake of 16.64% via their private vehicle, Tune Group Sdn Bhd. Filings with Bursa Malaysia revealed Tune Group has been gradually disposing its stakes in the open market.
Since June 2015, speculation was rife that Tune Group was considering disposing some of its stake, as it mulls to review their broader strategic investment direction, while complying with the regulator’s directive in limiting individual shareholding limit to not more than 10%.
While the insurer is said to dispose part of its stake, UOB Kay Hian noted it will not “jeopardise the group’s crucial tie-up with AirAsia Bhd”, with the latter to remain a key shareholder in Tune Protect, owning around a 13.7% stake.
This, said the brokerage firm, was as Tune Protect had an exclusive tie-up agreement with AirAsia, which will expire from 2022 to 2027, helping to secure Tune Protect’s interest.
At the same time, UOB Kay Hian’s Wee noted AirAsia also places great emphasis on expanding its ancillary income, with travel insurance — through Tune Protect — being part of its long-term ancillary income growth strategy.
At noon-break today, shares in Tune Protect rose 4 sen or 3.45% to pause at RM1.20, valuing the insurer at a market capitalisation of RM751.76 million.
if tony announces that talk with korean investors will restart then the share price will fly also, especially if he delegates the duty to his korean wife :)
