Q3 FY2016 Results
Singapore and U.K. AIM Market-listed Global Invacom Group
Extends Turnaround, Reports Net Profit of US$0.7 Million in Q3
FY2016
-- Net profit of US$0.7 million (Q3 FY2015: US$2.7 million loss)
-- Gross profit of US$7.2 million (Q3 FY2015: US$6.3 million)
-- Secured approval to supply next-generation products; positioned for improved sales
Global Invacom Group Limited ("Global Invacom" or "the Group"),
a satellite communications ("Sat Comms") equipment provider listed
on the Singapore Exchange and the U.K. AIM Market, today announces
a net profit of US$0.7 million for the three months ended 30
September 2016 ("Q3 FY2016") compared to a US$2.7 million loss a
year earlier.
The second consecutive quarter of profitability came on the back
of increased demand in the United States for the Group's
electronics products. Net profit for the nine months ended 30
September 2016 ("9M FY2016") was US$0.3 million compared to a loss
of US$5.6 million in 9M FY2015.
Revenue for Q3 FY2016 was basically flat, down 0.4% to US$32.1
million from US$32.2 million in Q3 FY2015, due mainly to a US$2.4
million reduction in the Electronics Manufacturing Services and
lower year-on-year sales orders in Asia. However, revenue for 9M
FY2016 rose 11.8% to US$96.3 million from US$86.2 million a year
ago.
With the inclusion of Global Skyware, Q3 FY2016 revenue from
America and Europe rose US$2.3 million (+11.9%) and US$0.5 million
(+6.9%), respectively, offset by a fall in revenue from Asia and
the Rest of the World by US$2.1 million (-61.5%) and US$0.8 million
(-54.6%), respectively.
Gross profit increased by US$0.9 million, or 15.4%, to US$7.2
million in Q3 FY2016 from US$6.3 million in Q3 FY2015. Gross profit
margin improved to 22.6% from 19.5% due to a favourable product
mix, improved efficiencies and tighter factory cost control.
-
Administrative expenses fell 34.1% to US5.7 million in Q3 FY2016
from US$8.7 million in Q3 FY 2015, representing 17.9% and 27.1% of
revenue, respectively. This was due to the absence of professional
fees in relation to the Global Skyware acquisition, lower legal
costs related to a dispute in Q3 FY2015 and cost savings arising
from restructuring and rationalisation in FY2016.
Earnings per share on a fully diluted basis was 0.26 U.S. cent
in Q3 FY2016 compared to a loss per share of 1.04 U.S. cents in Q3
FY2015. Net asset value per share improved to 20.31 U.S. cents as
at 31 September 2016 compared to 20.05 U.S. cents as at 31 December
2015.
The Group has completed the first phase of research and
development for next-generation Low Noise Block ("LNB") products
that support digital channel stacking switch ("DCSS") technology,
and has secured production approval for volume supply to its
largest customer, which will commence in Q4 FY2016. The Group will
complete R&D and deploy DCSS technology across its LNBs for all
customers and territories over the next 12 months.
Mr. Tony Taylor, Executive Chairman of Global Invacom, said,
"The Group-wide restructuring and cost improvement has clearly
contributed to our second consecutive quarter of profit. We have
consolidated our supply chain, strengthened our management team and
widened our sales network. We will continue to build on this
momentum to drive sustainable growth and strengthen our global
leadership in the R&D and production of Sat Comms
equipment."

Review of Financial Performance
Revenue
The Group's revenue was US$32.1 million in Q3 FY2016, US$0.1
million lower than US$32.2 million in Q3 FY2015. It recognised
three months' revenue contribution of US$10.4 million in Q3 FY2016
from its latest acquisition, Satellite Acquisition Corporation
("Global Skyware") of the United States. Despite the reduction in
its Contract Manufacturing segment of US$2.4 million and lower
sales orders in Asia in Q3 FY2016 against Q3 FY2015, the Group's
revenue for the nine months ended 30 September 2016 increased 11.8%
to US$96.3 million from US$86.2 million a year ago.
By geography, with the inclusion of Global Skyware, revenue for
Q3 FY2016 from America and Europe increased by US$2.3 million
(+11.9%) and US$0.5 million (+6.9%), respectively; offset by a fall
in revenue from Asia and the Rest of the World by US$2.1 million
(-61.5%) and US$0.8 million (-54.6%), respectively, against Q3
FY2015.
Gross Profit
Gross profit increased by US$0.9 million or 15.4% to US$7.2
million in Q3 FY2016 from US$6.3 million in Q3 FY2015. Gross profit
margin improved to 22.6% in Q3 FY2016 from 19.5% in Q3 FY2015.
Excluding Global Skyware, gross profit margin would have risen by
4.8% against Q3 FY2015 to 29.0% in Q3 FY2016. The favourable
product mix variation, efficiency improvement and Group-wide
factory cost control have resulted in the increased gross profit
margin.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased significantly to US$5.7
million in Q3 FY2016 from US$8.7 million in Q3 FY2015, representing
17.9% and 27.1% of revenue, respectively. This was primarily due to
the absence of professional fees in relation to the acquisition of
Global Skyware and the reduction in legal costs on a dispute with a
supplier that was incurred in Q3 FY2015, cost savings incurred from
streamlining programmes, as well as a restructuring and
rationalisation exercise in FY2016.
Finance Costs
The increase in finance costs was mainly attributable to the
increase in borrowings in Q3 FY2016 relating to Global Skyware.
Profit before Tax & Net Profit
The Group recorded a profit before tax of US$1.2 million in Q3
FY2016 compared to a loss before tax of US$2.5 million in Q3
FY2015, with a positive margin of 3.7% compared to a negative
margin of 7.8%, respectively. On an organic basis, excluding the
loss from Global Skyware, the Group would have posted a profit
before tax in the quarter of US$1.6 million.
Overall, the Group posted a net profit of US$0.7 million in Q3
FY2016 compared to a net loss of US$2.7 million in Q3 FY2015, with
a positive margin of 2.2% compared to a negative margin of 8.4%,
respectively. On an organic basis, excluding Global Skyware, the
Group would have posted a net profit of US$1.1 million.
Review of Financial Position
Non-current assets decreased primarily with the depreciation of
property, plant and equipment.
Net current assets increased by US$0.8 million to US$29.7
million as at 30 September 2016 compared to US$28.9 million as at
31 December 2015. Inventories increased by US$1.3 million in
preparation of anticipated and confirmed orders for the next few
months and improved collections has resulted in trade and other
receivables decreased by US$3.9 million. The repayment of the
shareholders' loan has also resulted in the decrease of other
payables by US$2.8 million. On the other hand, borrowings increased
by US$2.0 million to US$7.4 million and cash and cash equivalents
improved by US$2.6 million to US$11.5 million as at 30 September
2016.
Non-current liabilities decreased by US$0.4 million due to the
release of a provision for litigation that the Group settled with a
former supplier.
The Group's net asset value stood at US$55.2 million as at 30
September 2016, compared to US$54.5 million as at 31 December
2015.
Review of Cash Flows
Net cash generated from operating activities was US$0.3 million,
comprising cash inflow from operating cash activities before
working capital changes of US$2.0 million, net working capital
outflow of US$1.2 million and payment of interest and income tax
expense of US$0.5 million.
Net cash used in investing activities was US$0.3 million, mainly
comprising the purchase of machinery and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities was US$1.0 million,
arising from the repayment of shareholders' loan, offset by the
receipt of bank loans.
Overall, the Group recorded a net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents of US$1.0 million in Q3 FY2016, bringing cash and cash
equivalents per the consolidated statement of cash flows to US$10.0
million as at 30 September 2016.
9. Where a forecast, or a prospect statement, has been
previously disclosed to shareholders, any variance between it and
the actual results.
No forecast or prospect statement was made by the Company in the
previous announcement made on 4 August 2016.
10. A commentary at the date of the announcement of the
significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in
which the group operates and any known factors or events that may
affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12
months.
The Q3 FY2016 results mark the Group's second consecutive
quarter of profitability. The Group intends to build on this
turnaround in the coming quarters as it continues to reap the
benefits of its restructuring and cost improvement initiatives.
The integration of the Group's US subsidiary, Raven Antenna
Systems - previously trading as Skyware Global - has progressed
significantly although there are still further improvements and
research and development projects to complete. Since completing the
acquisition on 24 August 2015, the subsidiary has been rebranded as
Global Skyware to bring the business in line with the Group's wider
brand and to fully consolidate its US supply chain. The Group will
recognise Global Skyware's first full-year revenue contributions in
FY2016.
Further to the announcement of 8 November 2016, the Group is
exploring the potential consolidation of its activities in China
under its wholly-owned subsidiary, Global Invacom Manufacturing
(Shanghai) Co., Ltd ("Shanghai subsidiary"), to optimise
manufacturing cost efficiencies. Critical equipment and customer
inventory from the Group's Shenzhen subsidiary, Radiance
Electronics (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd, may be transferred to the Shanghai
subsidiary. The Group will announce any material developments
relating to this matter as and when appropriate.
The Group believes the expected launch of two new communication
satellites in the coming months by a leading US broadcaster will
underpin demand for its next-generation Satellite Communications
("Sat Comms") products. Worldwide, the global satellite
manufacturing and launch market is expected to grow at a CAGR of
5.14% between 2014 and 2019.* Developing markets in Latin America,
the Middle East and Southeast Asia continue to offer potential for
the adoption of new Sat Comms services.
Despite global concerns about Britain's economic prospects
following its decision in June to leave the European Union
("Brexit"), the Group remains upbeat about its Sat Comms business.
The weakening of the British Pound against major currencies has
provided, and is expected to continue to provide, short-term
foreign exchange benefits for the Group's UK-based operating costs.
Pending the outcome of a UK parliamentary vote on Brexit - as
announced by a UK High Court recently - the Group will consider
establishing a logistics hub in an EU country to continue
tariff-free transactions via a possible UK-EU Free Trade Agreement
that may need to be negotiated. Revenue from the Group's Sat Comms
sales is predominantly transacted in US Dollars, as well as the
bulk of its raw material spend.
The Group remains mindful of the significant technology change
that recently swept the satellite ground equipment industry with
the introduction of digital channel stacking switch ("DCSS")
technology, which allows up to 32 continuous video streams from a
single Low Noise Block ("LNB"). This impacted the Group's FY2015
performance as major customers had to destock, and is likely to
persist for the remainder of 2H FY2016.
The Group has completed research on next-generation LNBs that
support DCSS, and has secured approval to supply LNBs from a main
customer. It is one of only two main suppliers for this project.
This approval marks a significant achievement for the Group, which
has invested in the new generation of LNBs since 2014. The Group
expects to deploy the DCSS technology across its LNBs for all
customers and territories. Delivery of the new products will
commence in Q4 FY2016, following which the Group will supply
similar LNBs to other customers.
