Nevertheless, the full-year results were below our and the street s expectations, making up only 90% and 84%, respectively. A lower DPS of 0.5sen (vs 0.8sen in 4QFY16) was proposed for the quarter. Despite weaker results, we keep our FY18-20 earnings forecasts unchanged as we expect greater results, mainly driven by bigger construction progress in the SKIN project. Maintain Outperform call with an unchanged TP of RM1.85. 4QFY17 revenue nearly tripled to RM71.9m. Group revenue surged from RM24.7m to RM71.9m, mainly driven by the construction sales from the SKIN project, a comprehensive and integrated national immigration solution aimed at modernizing the core applications and infrastructure of the national immigration and border control system, amounting to RM48m. The stronger revenue was also contributed by education (+199%) and employment services (+5%) despite weaker sales contribution from the software & services and academy segment (-10%). 4QFY17 core earnings surged to RM4.3m. Stripping out the minority interest, which was mainly derived from the 30% stake in Prestariang Services S/B, the company s core earnings of RM4.3m jumped 3-fold in the 4QFY17. On the other hand, software & services and academy earnings tumbled 58% to RM1.5m while losses in education segment halved to RM0.5m. The effective tax of 54.3% for the quarter was also higher than the statutory tax rate. Positive outlook. Management expects to see favourable results in FY18, with the implementation of the SKIN project and continuous improvement on operational efficiencies in existing businesses.
