Kronologi reported record revenue of RM98.8 million and RM265.5 million for the fourth quarter and financial period ended 31 January 2021 respectively, rising almost 70% quarter-on-quarter, reflecting record contributions in both periods from Enterprise EDM and Subscription based As-a- Service business segment
“We are proud to report that we have achieved record fourth quarter and financial period results, and started 2021 with a strong and healthy financial position. We will continue to execute our strategic growth plans, and we expect 2021 full year revenue growth to be high end of healthy range.” We believe the recovery in the post-Covid and new normal period will continue to fuel the Group’s business trajectory for As-a-Service cloud-based market. Every area of our business exceeded expectations. In Q4, we grew As-a-Service cloud-based revenue by 118% year-on-year, led by our government, Financial Securities Institutions and Hyperscale and Cloud based markets.
Better avoid. Not surprise if tomorrow gap up and good for last round of disposal Then sink deeply look at serba, as learning lesson. Those who still trust haters, good luck
In my POV, is a rather average result even thought they managed to improved their revenue but their profit margin is still too low at 5.7%, probably due to strong competition in foreign countries. The private placement had to be spend more wisely, their only good acquisition is Sandz Solution out of their other acquisition, other subsidiary performance keep dropping and no explanation given by the management. Hope they could at least maintain their profit margin around 8% - 11% to remain competitive or else they would be eaten alive by their competitors.
Probably Baidu project was reported under Hong Kong & Taiwan region. 1 month revenue is 3.8m already while in whole 4Q, the revenue for hk&tw was 5m. Jan period can see the managed service made up almost 25% of revenue. However, I believe that the private placement should be scrutinized to get the most value out of any acquisitions. One positive note is the company expects full year revenue growth to be high end of healthy range in 2021. Management needs to work harder to profit margin.
Last year EDM managed service contribute only 7.65% 2020 EDM managed service contribute 14.27%
For profit margin, I don’t really care so much.(personal view ) For technology company, they need to move fast to capture the market share. Top line( Revenue) is what I concern.
Regarding private placement, you can find company doing well and doing bad after private placement. Depend how long term you want. QL , AA also do private placement before.
What I want to said is, no point to use other company to analysis your company...
@Felixck, thanks! Then HK&TW indeed grew a lot in Jan alone compared to a entire 4Q20. This is indeed good news. Just wonder when Baidu project will start revenue recognition.
If u all look at the recently announced quarterly results, they have issued 2 reports.
1) 3 months quarter report; and
2) 1 month report.
If we look at the 3 months quarter report, it is almost all time high profit of RM5.7m for a quarter. That is really impressive. I think the market is reading the results wrongly by just referring to the 1 month report which is for Jan'21 only.
It's pretty obvious to me this ACE counter has been manipulated by Gooshen's stock operator. If this is done illegally, there will be consequences.
In any event, it is an impressive comeback from previous quarters which were hammered badly by the pandemic. This shows that the business is resilient.
The private placement is positive. It shows management's intention to grow the business. If you look into how they will utilize the proceeds, the management is quite forward looking and decides to invest in digital transformation, including RFIDs. I'd rather not have a rights issue as I'd prefer to buy from the market cheaply now, at any time, or quantity, vs being forced into a purchase.
This PP is not a small amount of money. Those taking up sure hv discussed with management regarding the price, the future and the plan. The company mapping how they grow the company is very important . The price will go sideway at the pp price which both parties hv agreed. So, don't hope for big move until everything has settled down.
It bought the remaining 80% stake in Quantum Storage (India) Pte Ltd in 2016, and Quantum Storage HK in 2017. More recently, Kronologi announced it had, in November 2018, invested US$3 million into Quantum China Ltd (QCL) for a 16.67% stake. The key objective for the group’s investments in these companies is to expand its presence in the region, including India, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, said Tan.
On China, he is upbeat about prospects in that country and the large market will provide a huge growth potential for Kronologi in the future. Hence, he said: “With the right timing and right rationale, consideration for further investment [in QCL] will be down the road.”
