the issue with ecs is after vst's acquisition, most of the top talents either have left or waiting for the opportunity to leave. vst is a chinese company and run very traditionally. there will be a clash of culture between the two companies. ecs management knows it and will all leave quietly. i won't touch this with a 10-foot pole. | |||||||||||||||

ECS, which distributes Apple's iPods and HP's printers, said VST Holdings' purchase of a controlling stake in the firm may help it to expand. HK-listed VST, which distributes HDDs and computer motherboards in China, said on 8/8 that it would buy a 52.5% stake in ECS for HK$659.8 million from a group of shareholders. "I see this as helping ECS grow our business further," ECS CEO Tay Eng Hoe told Reuters in an interview on Monday, as ECS may be able to offer customers a wider range of products. VST is buying its stake from investors including ST Engg's electronics arm and from Tay. Tay said that last week's change in ownership was unlikely to have a material impact on the firm initially, as ECS will remain a separate entity. VST distributes upstream computer components, including HDDs from Seagate and AMD microchips, while ECS distributes the end products such as notebook PCs and printers. Currently, distribution contributes about 55 to 60% of ECS's turnover, while the rest of its revenue comes from setting up computer networks and infrastructure for customers, who include DBS and OCBC. Tay said that this operation, which has a higher profit margin than distribution, now makes up 30 to 35% of ECS's business in China, where companies are increasingly focused on building reliable computer infrastructure instead of settling for cheap systems. ECS, which derives about half of its sales in China, also has offices in S'pore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. It is also looking for business partners in Vietnam and India, but has not concluded any deals, Tay said. ECS trades at around 8.8x its estimated '08 earnings. For '07, Tay reiterated that sales and net profit would be higher than in '06, and added that ECS could improve returns by cutting costs. |

OCBC Investment Research Private Limited: ECS Holdings posted a positive set of 1Q07 results, with revenue up 12% YoY at S$621.5m, driven by strong distribution sales of notebooks in Malaysia and China, despite the first quarter being the slowest seasonally. Net profit jumped 31.1% YoY to S$4.4m, nearly tripling its revenue growth. ECS is looking forward to a better 2Q07, both on a YoY and on a QoQ basis. M&A may be a growth strategy that ECS is considering, especially for its overseas expansion. But even without M&A, ECS is confident that it can achieve 10-15% organic topline growth for 2007, given that spending on ICT (Information & Communication Technology) in Asia is expected to grow by double digits over the next few years. Meanwhile, ECS itself could also be an M&A target, as its large Asian footprint (18,000 retail partners in six countries) will be attractive to non-Asian distributors looking to expand into the region. We do not have a rating on the stock. Positive 1Q07 results. ECS Holdings posted a positive set of 1Q07 results, with revenue up 12% YoY at S$621.5m, driven by strong distribution sales of notebooks in Malaysia and China, despite the first quarter being the slowest seasonally. Net profit jumped 31.1% YoY to S$4.4m, nearly tripling its revenue growth. Although gross margin slipped slightly to 4.7% from 4.8% a year ago, as distribution business carried lower margins, better cost controls led to an improvement in operating margin to 1.2% and net to 0.7%, versus 1.0% and 0.6% respectively in 1Q06. |
