JEP Holdings
Between Aug 18 and Aug 23, JEP Holdings executive chairman and CEO Andy Luong acquired 2,021,900 shares at an average price of S$0.302 per share.
 
With a consideration of S$610,501, this took his direct interest in the Catalist-listed provider of precision machining and engineering services from 0.70 per cent to 1.19 per cent.
 
Luong holds 15.89 per cent of the issued share capital of UMS Holdings, which in turn holds 73.85 per cent of the issued share capital of the company. This brings his total interest in JEP Holdings to 75.04 per cent.
 
Luong is also the executive chairman and CEO of UMS Holdings and has more than 20 years of experience in manufacturing front-end semiconductor components. As relayed over recent years, JEP Holdings has looked to maximise operational synergies with UMS Holdings to improve overall performance and seek new growth opportunities.
 
On Aug 11, JEP Holdings reported a 33.7 per cent decrease in H1 FY2023 (ended Jun 30) revenue from H1 FY2022, primarily attributed to a weaker performance from its equipment manufacturing and precision machining segments, which were impacted by the lower global demand for semiconductors.
 
Luong noted that while the global slowdown in demand for semiconductors and the economic challenges such as recession led to the group&rsquo s lower H1 FY2023 performance, JEP Holdings remained profitable with a healthy financial position. He added that the group will continue to focus on its twin growth engines in the semiconductor industry and the aerospace industry.
 
The group&rsquo s new factory in Penang, Malaysia is also scheduled for completion in the second half of 2023.

JEP Holdings reports 2HFY2022 earnings of $2.1 mil, 65.2% lower y-o-y
 
JEP Holdings 1J4 0.00%   has reported earnings of $2.1 million for the 2HFY2022 ended Dec 31, 2022, 65.2% lower y-o-y. The earnings plunge was due to the slowdown in the global semiconductor industry during the 4QFY2022, says the group.
 
FY2022 earnings fell by 3.7% y-o-y to $7.6 million mainly due to foreign exchange (forex) losses arising from a weaker US dollar (USD) during the period.
 
Revenue for the FY2022 grew by 8.8% y-o-y to $82.6 million as most of the group&rsquo s segments saw revenue growth on a y-o-y basis. Only sales in the precision machining segment fell due to lower electronic component sales amid a slow recovery in the aviation sector. During the 2HFY2022, revenue fell by 18.2% y-o-y to $38.0 million as most segments saw revenue decline y-o-y and mitigated by the y-o-y growth in the trading and other segments revenue.
 
During the year, most of the group&rsquo s key markets expanded, with sales in Malaysia leading the growth. China and Canada, on the other hand, saw lower sales y-o-y.
 
Gross profit for FY2022 increased by 8.7% y-o-y to $16.5 million while gross profit for 2HFY2022 fell by 40.5% y-o-y to $6.6 million.
 
FY2022 other operating income fell by 62.7% y-o-y to $808,000 due to the lesser grant amount received and forex losses compared to forex gains in the year before.
 
FY2022 earnings per share (EPS) stood at 1.832 cents.
 
As at Dec 31, 2022, cash and bank balances stood at $23.8 million.
 
No dividend has been declared for the period.
 
Looking ahead, the group says it expects to see a more noticeable recovery of its aerospace business in the 2HFY2023 due to higher volume production of new complex and high value-added parts from its strategic customers.
 
However, the near-term outlook on the semiconductor industry is less buoyant with revenue expected to decline.
 
On its plans, the group says it will proceed with its production expansion plan and optimise its production mix to boost performance. Its new factory in Penang, Malaysia is scheduled for completion in the second half of 2023 which will enable it to take on more customer orders and increase production output.
 
&ldquo Moving forward, the group will continue to maximize operational synergies with UMS to improve overall performance and seek new business opportunities,&rdquo says the group.

Did some reading up why there are buying activity recently. There were some coverage on Raytheon Technologies By Motley Fools and Jim Cramer... and the aviation sector is a bullish buy for recovery play. Taken from Jep website,  " Today, we are the ONLY large-scale manufacturer service providers for aircraft engine casing in Singapore" With UMS holding 70+% shares, this could be multibagger for 2023.....   |

From UMS result: The Group continued to accelerate its sales performance - delivering a whopping 71% increase in revenue to $84.7 million in 1QFY2022 as compared to the previous corresponding quarter. The sales surge was driven by the sustained increase in semiconductor demand and the consolidation of sales from JEP Holdings Ltd (" JEP" ) - which became a subsidiary of the Group from 2QFY2021 - bringing on board a new revenue stream from the aerospace business. The Group booked aerospace revenue of S$3.0 million in 1QFY2022.   |

.... UMS will be reporting its Q1 results in a few days n along with it will shed light on contributions from JEP. Nonethess UMS' s recent purchase of JEP' s shares in open-mkt gives clues on few aspects ..... new floor-price of abt $0.38 ..... and likely to keep JEP listed in medium-term n deliver value to shareholders (of both UMS and JEP) ..... as I mentioned back in December (2021), it may raise JEP' s profile with mainboard-listing fr current Catalist

In Jun 2021, I have tendered 800,000 shares to UMS cash offer of 20. Less than 1 year later, UMS is swallowing big from open market at 38. UMS interests is high enough to almost double its buying price. For fear of missing out, I am rebuilding my holding and seriously doubt to accept any further cash offer from UMS.
Don?t follow as I may very well be the GREAT goondu.
