OPCOM (0035): RM82million variation order from TM Berhad: Review

Recently, OPCOM announces that it has secured RM82million variation order from TM Berhad which is expiring on 19 April 2013. In other words, the period of this contract is around four quarters or approximate to one year.

Based on previous four consecutive quarters' revenues and profits:
2011 Q3: R = RM33M,   PAT=RM4.4M, EPS = 3.42sen
2011 Q2: R = RM22.6M PAT=RM3.8M, EPS = 2.92sen
2011 Q1: R = RM33M    PAT=RM5.4M, EPS = 4.21sen
2010 Q4: R = RM34.2M PAT=RM4.8M, EPS = 3.73sen

(note: R = revenue, PAT = Profits after Tax, EPS = Earning per share, Q = quarter;)

If we simply divide the amount of this variation order by four, we get around RM20million per quarter. As you can see, this extra 20M revenue per quarter can have a quite huge positive influence toward the profits of OPCOM in next 12 months or four quarters.

Previously, OPCOM has extended its RM359 million with total period of around four years (2 + 2 (extend)), that is, from April 2009 to April 2013. Now, let's review the total revenues of OPCOM in last few years as follows:

2011: 88.7M (total 3 quarters only)
2010: 136M
2009: 121M
----------------------- (before awarded the 359million contract from TM)
2008: 62.8M
2007: 55M

As you can see, TM contract doubles the revenue of OPCOM after the fiscal year 2008. If we assume that the revenues from other parties besides TM are remained, say 60M per year, it looks like only around 180 million from the 359million of the contact is done so far. 

On the other hand, if we assume that all of the revenue from 2009 to now is from the contract with total of RM345.7million, compared to the amount of contract of RM359 million, this variation order will not bring any great positive surprise compared to the first assumption.

Anyway, as a long term investors, let's us wait and see the impact of this variation order in the quarter end September 2012. (Note: the coming and the next coming quarter reports will not show the effect of this variation order. We should refer to the quarter report end of September 2012, which will be announced in Dec 2012)
