Glove maker Harps Holdings Bhd is issuing 2.6 billion shares consisting of institutional offering and retail offering for its proposed initial public offering (IPO) on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia.

This represents 26% of its enlarged issued capital, according to its prospectus exposure on the Securities Commission website.

The institutional offering involves the offering of up to 2.3 billion IPO shares, representing up to 23.00% of its issued share capital.

Harps said 1.15 billion shares, representing 11.5% its its issued share capital will be for Bumiputera investors approved by the MITI.

The retail offering involves the offering of 300 million IPO shares, representing 3.00% of its issued share capital.

Harps is principally an investment holding company with two wholly-owned subsidiaries, Central Medicare and New Era Medicare.

Central Medicare is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of examination gloves while New Era Medicare is engaged in research and development, manufacturing and distribution of surgical gloves.

Harps currently has one manufacturing facility in Malaysia and as at Dec 31 had 32 production lines and a total annual installed capacity of 8.2 billion gloves.

“As at Jan 31, we completed the new expansion to our manufacturing facility, increasing our production lines to 34 and our total annual installed capacity to 11.6 billion gloves.

“We intend to increase our total annual installed capacity to 19.5 billion gloves by the end of 2023 with a total of 54 production lines,” it said.

For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2020, Harps posted a profit after tax of RM514.48mil against RM37.59mil in 2019. Its revenue for the period surged to RM1.21bil from RM512.21mil previously.

Harps targets a payout ratio of up to 35% of it's profit after tax and minority interest of each financial year on a consolidated basis after taking into account working capital and maintenance capital requirements.

Maybank Investment Bank Bhd is the principal adviser and managing underwriter of the proposed listing.

I thought I wanna applied for this after reading this.

However, the earlier sentence was this...

So how did two lines magically increase production by 40-50%?

Got me excited for nothing. If their 34lines actually managed 12b gloves, that puts them in Hartalega range of ROE. 40K gloves/hour/line is no easy feat.

so their new additional 2 lines can produce that increase?
i didnt read the prospectus, but based on what you quoted, it seems to be that way?

this IPO just launch on miti website today together with Nestcon BHD ( 0.28)...

But price for HARPS BHD not determined yet..lol.. Looking at their PAT is on pare with big glove company..

ceo is 31 years old with salary almost 1 mil per year and busy attending racing competition at toyota gazoo. i wouldn't put my money in this company.

Ya then stay away lo since u not confident with the ceo n company.

Ahh...
No wonder...
Actually google the CEO name..
Then saw all the racing picture...
Was thinking someone else or what.....

for goreng only

ceo 31yo, "high class rempit"... non issues...
people still hoot crazy.. like no tomorrow...

look at recent IPOs..
heck even Main Market one...
42x Oversubcribe..

this one sure way bigger....
close eye at least 5x oversubscribe
don't surprise if 10x above

ceo racing or not..look into the prospectus ...this company is good for long term holding..

Definitely won't oversubscribed. Nobody wants to buy new glove shares. Long term holders are too few. Already too many existing glove companies trading at low valuations. First day listing sure down. I am willing to short if it list at Market Cap of RM 2 billion.

After Tuju Setia...
It's endless possibilities....
Anything can happen 😁

Not sure about the per hour calculation because it won't run 365 days 247. But judging by its 2018 and 2019 figure, it is no better than comfort, which is kinda bad.

Tuju Setia is a pretty decent ipo. But harps, we really have to lowball them. I will bet my ass they will pull this IPO because no demand for their shares. I am sure bumi company will have bumi institution support, but also have to see the public sentiment.

Only time would tell...
Whatever... There's history... IPO pull out even after prospectus is unviled & retail portion open for subscription... They "suddenly" cancel the IPO 😁
