Notes
Economic Moats
Cost Advantage: Narrow
- Gross profit was above more 10% and increasing from 11% to 14% in the past 4 years.
- However, fluctuation of raw material cost will impact gross profit severely.
Switching Costs: Narrow
- Customers unlikely to change tin supplier as the supplier familiar with their requirements.
- The majority of these customers have been trading with the group for more than 10 years.
- However, cost of switching supplier may not high.
Network Effect: Narrow
- The largest edible oil tin can producers in Malaysia that also produces jerry cans and dairy products.
- Can-One has weathered the intense competition by redefining its market position as an edible oil cans specialist.

Intangible Assets: Wide


- Its close relationship with most of the major palm oil players in Malaysia has effectively helped it to secure sizeable
recurring orders for the division.
- The majority of these customers have been trading with the group for more than 10 years.
- The long-lasting relationship with its customers is attributed to its well thought out strategy of placing all its factories
within 10km of major refineries and packers as well as at sea ports in Malaysia to cut logistical impediments. Such close
proximity to its customers enables the group to react more quickly to customers' request and foster closer
relationships.
Efficient Scale:
Not available or no moat found

Stewardship
1. Have most investments and acquisitions been in line with the company's core competencies, or does management
like to make diversifying acquisitions?
- Expanded production lines
- Acquisition of competitors, such as 32% of Kian Joo
- With 80% already owned, the Group announced an acquisition of the remaining 20% in F&B Nutrition Sdn Bhd (F&B)
for RM112.9m via the issuance of 39.753m shares at RM2.84 apiece. F&B is principally involved in manufacturing of
dairy and non-dairy products, principally sweetened creamer, sweetened condensed filled milk and evaporated
creamer for the African, Asian and Middle East markets.
2. Have investments and acquisitions been moat-widening?
- Yes

3: Does the company have a record of taking large impairment charges?


- RM4mil of impairment loss on unquoted bond.
4: Is management's investment focus on building long-term shareholder value, or has it engaged in a growth-forgrowth's-sake strategy?
- Yes
5: Does the firm have a history of cost overruns or expensive operational missteps?
- Not that I am aware of
6: Does the firm have the appropriate dividend and buyback policy?
- Not that I am aware of, but dividend payout of CANONE is not really attractive.
7: Does the firm have an appropriate amount of debt given the cyclicality and capital intensity of its business?
- High net gearing.
8: Does the ownership structure serve as a benefit or detriment to minority shareholders?
- Balance float is 12%.
9: Has the board of directors established an appropriate incentive structure that rewards value creation?
- Looks OK and not alarming
10: Do you think management is forthcoming about strategic missteps and challenges?
- Not that I am aware of

- Revenue from Food products division increased from RM116.8 million in the immediate preceding quarter to RM160.3
million in the current quarter. However gross profit margin for the quarter under review decreased from 10.9% to 8.1%
due to lower average selling price.
International trading division
- International trading division contributed revenue of RM24.4 million for the current quarter.

Growth Drivers
- Consistently growing demand in edible oil can, jerry cans, and sweetened condensed milk.
- With 32% of stakes in Kian Joo, CANONE will gain benefits from Kian Joo's growth.
- Over the years, Can-One has built a name for itself as a niche packaging supplier for the edible oil sector and is
currently the largest supplier of tin cans and jerry cans used for edible oils domestically. Growth going forward is
expected to come from increased export orders for Can-Ones customers. Malaysian edible oil products have been
aggressively promoted overseas for some years now, and these efforts have started to bear fruit with new demand
already being seen from markets such as the Middle East.
- With 80% already owned, the Group announced an acquisition of the remaining 20% in F&B Nutrition Sdn Bhd (F&B)
for RM112.9m via the issuance of 39.753m shares at RM2.84 apiece. F&B is principally involved in manufacturing of
dairy and non-dairy products, principally sweetened creamer, sweetened condensed filled milk and evaporated
creamer for the African, Asian and Middle East markets.

Risks/Challenges
- Lower demand from customers
- Higher cost of raw materials
- Can-One is highly dependent on Perstima Group to supply its main raw material tinplate which is used in the
production of tin cans. Perstima is the sole tinplate provider controlling the supply and prices of tinplates in Malaysia.
Tin can makers are unable to source material at cheaper prices elsewhere as a 15% duty is imposed on all imported
tinplates. To mitigate the risk of supply shortage, a 3-month tin plate stockpile is in place to ensure an uninterrupted
production schedule. Can-One is, however, still highly susceptible to fluctuations in raw material prices.
- High net gearing
