Plans to expand into PCBA services are progressing well and should start operations by the 1QFY19. Labour issues are in the past, with existing permits to employ foreign workers sufficient to meet immediate needs. While a minimum wage increase stands as a potential negative, we view the impact as manageable. Targets are to maintain net profit margins at 6.0%, with newer lines running smoothly and operating at optimised production efficiency. In fact, we expect margins to rise to 6.6% and 6.5% in FY19 and FY20 as its PCBA operations come into place. We increase our FY19-20 earnings by % and raise our TP for SKP Resources to RM2.20/share. BUY. PCBA Expansion On Track Plans to expand into Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) services are progressing well. Since our last update, we understand that machineries have arrived, with a single surface mount technology (SMT) line already set up. Occupying the third floor of its latest factory, the set up can cater for up to four SMT lines, as it pursues a two pronged approach (for Customer X and new business opportunities). Operations are likely to begin by the 1QFY19. PCBs are currently captured under cost of sales for Customer X related orders. Hence, this is unlikely to improve sales, but will lead to margin improvements moving forward. Positively, we understand there have also been interest from its other clients for its PCB capacity. If this fruitions, we believe the group will need to set up a new SMT line, which will lead to potential revenue and earnings accretion. Good News for Labour Labour issues are now in the past, with the group currently comfortable with its labour situation. Existing permits to employ foreign workers are sufficient to meet immediate and potential expansion plans. Statements recently made by the Deputy Home Minister are well received, with the government mulling to allow export oriented companies to hire 100% of foreign workers (currently required to hire one local for every three foreign workers employed) for production lines to meet current and future demand. Although a minimum wage increase stands as a potential negative, we view the resulting impact as manageable. Due to its cordial relationship with its customer, it is likely that the cost can be shared by both parties. We estimate, every RM100 increase in the minimum wage will reduce our FY19-20 earnings by %.

2 Targeting 6% Net Margins Net margins have historically averaged at ~7.0%, but dipped to 5.3% for FY17. This was due to a combination of factors, such as the weaker ringgit, labour constraints and teething issues at new lines. With two of the three factors resolved, net margins rebounded to 6.4% in the 1QFY18. Obtaining permits to employ new foreign workers, the reliance on contract workers have eased. Moving past initial teething issues, new lines are running smoothly and operating at optimised production efficiency. Meanwhile, the impact of a weaker ringgit is neutral in absolute terms, as higher costs are compensated through increased revenues from the cost pass through mechanism. Targets are to maintain net margins at 6.0% going forward. Revise Earnings We impute contributions from its entry into PCBA. This is based on a single SMT line to start operations in 1QFY19. We increase our FY19/FY20 earnings by 9.6%/8.6% to RM184.9mn/RM223.7mn. We expect net profit margins to come in at 6.0% for FY18, before rising to 6.6% and 6.5% in FY19 and FY20 as its PCBA operations come into place.

This is based on a PE of 16x and CY18 EPS of 13.7sen. This is on par with V.S. Industry s PE, as we view both companies as beneficiaries of Customer X s growth plans. We maintain our BUY recommendation on the stock. We view the group as a potential beneficiary of further contract awards by Customer X. This supports our earnings growth expectations of >20% for the next two years. Meanwhile, dividend yields remain attractive at %. Page 2 of 5
