In the past five years, StemLife has generated free cash flow (operating cash flow less capex) totalling RM47m, representing 41% of its current market cap.

We expect a soft 2H due to the monsoon season. Still, the 1H net profit surpassed consensus expectations at 65% of estimates. 1H pretax profit hit RM1bn for the first time, fuelled mostly by contributions from SKEI's and Seadrill's assets.

    Global Economic News

    The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has trimmed its growth forecast for Southeast Asia this year to 4.6% from Jul’s 4.7% and Apr’s 5.0%, citing factors such as political turmoil in Thailand earlier in the year and weaker commodity export prices in Indonesia.

    US Atlanta Federal Reserve bank president Dennis Lockhart said the US economy is still hampered by weak demand at home and internationally, potentially pushing the need to raise interest rates later into next year.

    Lending to euro zone private sector continued to fall, down 1.5% yoy in Aug (-1.6% yoy in Jul). Private sector loans have not grown since Apr 2012. (Reuters)

    Euro zone M3 money supply grew at an annual pace of 2.0% yoy in Aug (+1.8% yoy in Jul). (Reuters)

    Chinese leaders are discussing replacing the central bank chief Zhou Xiaochuan as part of a wider personnel shuffle that comes after internal battles over economic overhauls.

    Over the past few months, Mr. Zhou has continued to press for market changes, including liberalizing interest rates.

    Several high-impact South Korean and Japanese companies have indicated strong interests to expand and explore investment opportunities here ahead of Malaysian trade and investment missions to both countries next week. The interests are centred on chemical, electrical and electronics, automotive, medical devices and renewable energy industries, Malaysia Investment Development Authority (Mida) Chief Executive Officer Datuk Azman Mahmud said.

    Expressing his confidence that the trade missions would produce one of the biggest outcomes this year, he said the companies were considering business expansion, new investments and regional operation. Japan's investment in Malaysia from 2009 to May 2014 totalled RM36.4bn with 41,460 jobs created while that of South Korea amounted to RM13bn with 9,276 jobs created. (Bernama)

    Malaysia's private households' financial assets growth slowed down to 11.2% last year, markedly below the average financial assets growth rate of 16.8% in the region, according to Allianz's fifth edition of its 'Global Wealth Report'.

    "Not least due to the continuing recovery on the equity markets, securities holdings in 2013 amounted again to one third of total financial assets, similar to the level seen in the years before the shockwaves of the global financial crisis," it said.

    On the global scale, Allianz said Malaysia ranked 29th with net financial assets per capita equalling US$7,800, putting it at the number five in the region, behind Japan, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea. (Bernama)

    The Malaysia Automotive Institute (MAI) has identified seven sectors, currently outsourced from abroad at the cost of RM12bn annually, that Bumiputera automotive entrepreneurs could go into.

He said these sectors had been identified in the National Automotive Policy (NAP) 2014. (Bernama)

"Among the unique features in SPED financing is the 'muqasah' facility, whereby the eligible borrower will receive a grant of 30% of the funding if they show excellent financial performance for three consecutive years after getting the loan.

    German-based steering systems maker ZF Lenksysteme GmbH is investing RM50m in the next two years to set up a new plant in Penang to produce electric power steering systems column (EPSc).

    Its vice chief executive officer, Dr Marcus Parche said the innovative column-type EPSc will be produced at the new plant, its second production facility, with a total surface area measuring 4,049 sq metres at the Prai Industrial Park.

    "The new plant is to accommodate the EPSc production line, which will be ramped up in 2017. We are expecting a turnover growth of 60%," he said. He said 80% of the production at the Malaysian plant would be exported to Japan, China, the United States and Europe, while 20% would be supplied to the local market serving national car makers Proton and Perodua. (Bernama)

    Volvo Malaysia Sdn Bhd is investing RM75m to expand its network in Malaysia in the next three to five years. Its Managing Director, Mats Nilsson said plans were afoot to enlarge its distribution centres from 11 at present. "We have been successful in Malaysia. We are growing and investing in our people. Just recently, we had opened new dealerships in Kuantan and Sibu.

    "Our absolute growth in the heavy-duty truck segment is between 15 and 20% in the last couple of years," he said. In Malaysia, the new trucks were specifically built for the growing long-haul transportation, distribution, construction, and mining industries. (Bernama)

    Malaysia needs to draw an inclusive bioeconomy plan that could benefit across regions, sectors and people from all walks of life, an international biotechnology expert said here yesterday. Alexandre F. Jetzer-Chung, a member of the Bio-International Advisory Panel (Bio-IAP), said the initiative should cover all regions including rural, northern Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah and Sarawak.

    Malaysia's bioeconomy is estimated to contribute nearly US$15bn (RM48bn) to Malaysia's Gross National Income, create 170,000 high-quality jobs and attract US$16bn (RM50bn) in investment by 2020. (Bernama)

    Malaysia and Thailand should leverage their expertise and knowledge in railway transportation to enable both countries to become stronger entities in the sector. Thai National Shippers' Council (TNSC) Chairman, Nopporn Thepsithar said Malaysia was relatively advanced in railway transportation and collaborations between the two countries were pivotal to its growth as the future lies in this mode of transportation.

    "We should form an Asean shippers alliance that should include Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines, but currently only Indonesia has participated in the alliance," he said. (Bernama)

    Rising global demand is forecast to support strong export growth in Malaysia, leading the nation to a bright future, says the latest HSBC Global Connections Report.

    Trade flows into Malaysia are expected to strengthen with respondents holding a broadly positive outlook over the next six months, according to HSBC's Trade Confidence Index (TCI) survey. "The outlook for trade remains broadly positive, despite a decline in the TCI which fell three points to 110 in first half of 2014.

    "Many businesses are anticipating a pick-up in new orders as global demand accelerates," according to the biannual report.

    Over the longer term, demand for Malaysia's exports should remain strong and the country's focus on Asia is set to continue, he said.

    "China overtook Singapore as Malaysia's largest export market in 2013, a position it will solidify with export growth in excess of 12% p.a. expected until 2030," HSBC Bank Malaysia Bhd Head of Global Trade and Receivable Finance Vincent Sugianto said. (Bernama)

    Total approved investments in Malaysia's bio-based industry from 2011 till now has more than doubled to US$5.6bn (RM17.9bn) compared with the target of US$2.7bn (RM8.64bn) set previously, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, said. The prime minister said this was a significant achievement for Phase 2 of the National Biotechnology Policy in view that approved investments had exceeded the target for the 2011-2015 period.

    The programme was introduced to increase the income of urban and rural Malaysians, he said, adding that this would be achieved through the Bioeconomy Community Development Programme and technology bridging between bio-based companies and international research and development institutions. (Bernama)

    Malaysia's cloud business is expected to benefit from the growing worldwide information technology (IT) cloud services, said Multimedia Development Corp (MDeC). MDeC said according to a recent research conducted by the International Data Corp (IDC), worldwide revenue from public IT cloud services exceeded RM69.4bn in 2010 and was expected to reach RM235.5bn next year.

    "The rapid growth is positively affecting the Malaysian cloud business which is poised to generate a revenue of RM1.5bn by 2015. "It is predicted that by 2017, most Malaysian organisations will be using cloud services from different suppliers to meet various business needs and this will change the way business goals can be achieved," it said.

    The rat race to flaunt one's wealth is the primary cause of the record household debt in relation to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratio in the country, notes Malaysian Islamic Understanding Institute (Ikim) director-general Datuk Nik Mustapha Nik Hasan. He said most households were currently seen to be living beyond their means, causing them to fall heavily in debt from excessive spending.

    According to the Financial Stability and Payment System 2013 Report issued by Bank Negara Malaysia, he said 47.1% of household sector debts were attributed to the purchase of properties. He said motor vehicle purchase took up about 20%, non-residential property purchase (9.4), personal consumption (8.3), purchase of securities (7.8), credit card purchases (five) and other expenditure (2.4).

    The Securities Commission (SC) has explained the proposed guidelines that will govern issuers and investors of equity crowdfunding (ECF) under the regulatory framework. According to SC, all locally-incorporated private companies, other than exempt private companies, are eligible to participate in ECF by issuing ordinary and preference shares to the public.

    “An issuer will be allowed to raise up to a RM3 million for a 12-month period and a total maximum of RM5 million. Microfunds that are registered with the SC as venture capital firms and have an identified business plan are also allowed to participate on the ECF platform." (NST)

    Some 53,400 companies nationwide, including 2,325 in Sarawak, have registered for the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as of yesterday, said Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong. He said the ministry will hold more seminars and forums to get more companies to register for the GST by year-end.

    "In the last two days, an average of 2,000 companies registered each day, compared to just 1,000-1,500 daily last week. "This is a good sign, and a good performance in our efforts to get more companies to register," he said after attending the "GST Seminar: Leading SMEs Towards the GST Era" here today. (The Sun)

    Standard & Poor's (S&P) said the aggregate debt of Malaysian companies is likely to keep growing over the next 12 months because of their sustained capital expenditure and dividends. In a statement on Thursday, S&P said its "Asean Top Companies" series of reports discussed the credit conditions and major credit developments for the corporate sector in Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

    "Capital expenditure for the 24 companies we reviewed in Malaysia is likely to remain high in 2014. Moreover, we expect managements to maintain high dividend payouts. At the same time, revenue growth is slowing," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Xavier Jean. (The Star)

    Malaysian palm oil futures stretched gains into a third day on Thursday to touch their highest in more than six weeks, buoyed by robust demand and expectations that output would drop this month. Market players said that firm export demand, coupled with weaker palm yields in September, would prevent another big rise in inventories in the top palm-growing countries.

    In August, Malaysia's stocks surged 22 percent from July to 2.05m tonnes. Exports of Malaysian palm oil products rose 29.6% to 1,278,703 tonnes between Sept. 1-25 compared with the same period a month before, cargo surveyor Intertek Testing Services reported. Another surveyor Societe Generale de Surveillance said exports for the same period rose 34.6%.

    The Malaysian Palm Oil Association forecast palm oil production fell about 12% between Sept. 1-20, led by a drop in output in peninsular Malaysia. (Starbiz)

    The Tata Sons-AirAsia JV has been kept out of the Federation of Indian Airlines (FIA), a joint forum of local carriers, despite applying for membership twice. The FIA is a joint forum of Indian carriers Air India, Jet Airways, IndiGo, SpiceJet and GoAir. "We have not even been invited to join FIA. No one has even replied to our letters," AirAsia global chief Tony Fernandes said. AirAsia India Pvt Ltd (AAIPL) CEO Mittu Chandilya said: "I myself wrote twice on this issue. I don't know why we haven't even got a reply. We are an Indian company, owned 51% by Tata Sons. Our management team is Indian."

    Being denied entry into the club of Indian airlines, thereby treating AAIPL as a foreign airline, is just one of the issues that Fernandes is bitter about. The reaction his venture has got from competition in India is something, he says, has never happened with him anywhere else in the world. "They (the competition) are incredibly hostile... All guns are on us... I've been sued by everyone... I have never experienced such a thing in any other country. (We want to be in FIA) as I feel we all can work together to build a better aviation industry here," said Tony. (Times of India)

    AirAsia group CEO Tony Fernandes said his airline in India will start flights to Mumbai soon. "In Incredible India, Bombay is changing by the day. AirAsia India will be starting in this metro soon. We are coming,'' Fernandes tweeted. The remark was greeted both by excitement and surprise as Fernandes had announced last year that AirAsia India will skip Mumbai and Delhi due to high airport charges. While Fernandes did not indicate a date, aviation sources said AirAsia is likely to launch Mumbai flights from early 2015. It has not applied for slots at Mumbai airport for the winter schedule beginning October end. (Business Standard)

    Ombak Damai Sdn Bhd, the third largest shareholder in Bumi Armada Bhd, has sold 664,900 shares of Bumi Armada in the open market. This still leaves it with a 7.15% stake or 209.6m shares in the company. Datuk Ahmad Fuad Md Ali and Datuk Abdul Farish Abd Rashid are both shareholders of Ombak Damai. They both have a direct stake of 0.01% and 0.004% respectively in Bumi Armada. Last month, Bumi Armada fixed the price of its rights issue at RM1.35 apiece, which is a 32% discount to the theoretical ex-all price of RM1.98 per share. The rights shares will be issued on a one-for-two basis, involving up to 1.48bn shares. There is also a bonus issue of up to 1.48bn shares, also on a one-for-two basis. (StarBiz)

    Tanjung Offshore Bhd’s unit, Tanjung Offshore Services Sdn Bhd, has bagged an engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPIC) contract worth RM200m from Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd. Tanjung Offshore said the contract was for the provision of EPIC facilities for the Operational Reliability and Integrity Gauging of Instrument based Safeguards (ORIGInS) project.

    The ORIGInS project is an initiative from Petronas Carigali’s facilities, covering Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah operations. The duration of the contract is for three years effective from 5 Sep 2014, with the option to extend for an additional one-year period until 5 Sep 2018. (Financial Daily)

    All parcels of land for Stage 1 of the 28.3ha mixed development at the RM18bn Tun Razak Exchange (TRX) have been sold to investors, with master developer 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) retaining about five parcels for itself, said sources. A source said that the majority of investors who took up the parcels of land were foreigners. “1MDB has decided to keep about five parcels for itself, as it wants to develop them for some long-term recurring income,” said the source. Last December, TRX carried out its investor memorandum process where it was looking for international and local investors in the form of joint-venture partnerships or outright plot sales for Stage 1 of TRX. Subsequently, international property and infrastructure group Lend Lease was chosen, following an international bidding process overseen by CBRE, a global property consultant.

    Stage 1 of TRX comprises four office towers, including a signature tower, five residential towers, two five-star hotels and a retail mall. However, no development value was given then. Stage 1 includes the “Lifestyle Quarter”, which is a retail-led mixed-use development of over 17 acres comprising a hotel, three residential towers and a new retail mall connected to TRX’s multi-layer central park.

    Petronas said it could pull out of its US$10bn liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Canada due to what it sees as the country's slow progress of a new taxation scheme. Petronas CEO Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas said that he doubted the firm would be able to make a final investment decision by the end of this year, and that the project remains "uncertain". "Canada has to buck up real fast to be a credible global LNG player if it wants to be taken seriously by potential investors," Shamsul said.

    "Rather than ensuring the development of the LNG industry through appropriate incentives and assurance of legal and fiscal stability, the Canadian landscape of LNG development is now one of uncertainty, delay and short vision," he added. (Financial Daily)

    Talam Transform (formerly Talam Corp), which was once debt-ridden when under the control of its founder tycoon Tan Sri Chan Ah Chye, has pleaded to be given another chance, saying it has transformed and is on a much stronger footing now.
