SKPRES: Rising in a Vacuum (Updated)

Background

SKP Resources Bhd ('SKPRES') is involved in the manufacture & sales of plastic parts and components, precision and engineering plastic parts. In early 2015, it acquired similar businesses from its sister company, Tecnic Group Bhd.

In the past 6 months, SKPRES had managed to secure 2 significant contracts from one of its big customers, Dyson Ltd. The details of these 2 contracts are as follows:
1) RM2 billion to manufacture new cordless vacuum cleaner spanning five years from October 2015 to September 2020. This translates to an annual revenue of RM400 million.

2) RM3 billion to manufacture new cordless vacuum cleaner spanning five years from January 2016 to December 2021. This translates to an annual revenue of RM600 million.
These contracts would boost SKPRES's revenue for FY16 & FY17 to RM1.3 billion & RM2.3 billion respectively. The company is expected to achieve net profit margin of 7.5% in these 2 years due to enlarged business size and improved efficiency.For more, check out The Edge Daily report.

Hi lai,

On double-checking, my earlier computation was incorrect. I used the wrong outstanding shares. The correct one is 1.44 billion units. Thank you for the alert.
