Catalysts Competitive Advantage. Despite competing with bigger players of the industry, Green Packet enjoys a competitive advantage with its strategic business positioning. As the first WiMax Telco in Malaysia, the group benefited from 1) faster network speed, 2) lower capital expenditure (CAPEX) requirement compared to 3G and 3.5G service providers, 3) location flexibility and ease of use, 4) barrier of entry with license requirement. Other than that, the new Fiber Broadband also offers competitive advantage with only 2 players at the moment and cost saving by leasing of existing infrastructure from Telekom Malaysia. Unlike public companies, GPB will not have to build infrastructure in non-profitable areas. However, Green Packet would still face the challenge to increase spectrum allocation in order to increase coverage and network quality. Strategic partners. Over the years, Green Packet has formalized a number of strategic partners from various countries. It helped the group in culturing better
efficiency while reducing cost. Some of the groups significant strategic shareholders include the international worldwide known companies such as Intel and SK Telecom, Towards Breaking Even. Since the rollout of 4G Broadband in FY08, Green Packet has been recording net losses under the pressure of high capital expenditure. However, the group has been experiencing continuous revenue growth for 13 consecutive quarters. Besides, annual revenue increased 5 folds from RM87.5 million to RM539.6 million within four years. Annual revenue 5-years compound annual growth rate (CAGR) achieved 34.5 percent, while 4-years CAGR hitting 57.6 percent. The impressive growth is mainly contributed by the Broadband Services segment that accounts for over 50% of total revenue. Possible listing of P1. There is potential upside to GPBs stock performance if it were to make listing for P1. According to Star Business, CC Puan said that there is no such plan yet however he is not ruling out the potential listing of P1 in the future roadmap. He also mentioned there may be a possible consolidation in the industry in the future as there will be a need to combine spectrum. We feel that the listing of P1 will be positive to Green Packet as it may unlock access to huge capital for further working capital and possible M&As.
Risk Factors 1. Currency fluctuation. Adverse currency movement will result in foreign exchange losses for exports and international businesses. 2. Introduction of new technology. Existing technology might turn obsolete with rapid technology advancement. Survival of business depends on ability to catch up with the latest technology. Future plans 1. Green Packet will be focusing on expanding coverage and services via its P1 2.0 Evolution addressing three major areas, namely Offering the Best of Both Worlds, Spearheading 4G TD LTE, Bridging the Great Business Divide. 2. The group is looking forward to penetrate in to voice, content and VAS business alongside with 4G broadband, to emerge as leading 4G Telco player. We see huge potential in the voice and content business as mobile broadband capable as a substitute. Recommendation. We are putting an overweight call on Green Packet Berhad with a target price of RM0.86. The target price is based on a PER of 18x and EPS of 4.8 sen. Our RNAV is RM1.14 and our target price is at 25% discount to this. We see further EPS in future and potential upside in Green Packet Berhad due to its increasing subscriber base and consistent market share capture. The potential listing of Green Packets broadband arm, P1 may even create higher potential upside to GPBs shares if it were to be listed. P1s listing has not been factored into our calculation.
