looking through their financial nos for the past few years. They are expanding and doing very well in terms of overall Total Revenue has been consistently increasing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate of 13.96% a double digits grow of Gross revenue which is considered very good.

Gross Profit has been constantly increasing at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate(CAGR) of 20.4% from RM97.8m to RM197.8m. Gross profit margin has been maintaining above 20% at 24.2%. This is rather healthy and superb for a growing company.

Net Profit amount has been generating a high end double digits percentage of Average 18.6%.
What a spectacular achievement. The Net profit amount has seen a great improvement of RM58m from 2013 to RM 129.3m in 2017. It is growing at a CAGR of 24.58%. I would say is an outstanding achievement.

Super Healthy Cash flow generation for the past few years as can be seen from the financial results the Ops cash flow activities has been increasing from RM80.2m to RM145.7m. 

The company has a robust balance sheet of which the total borrowing is about RM25M, Cash on hand is RM114.25m, a net net position company with net cash position of RM89.25m.

Next on to their efficiency. Riverstone's return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) have maintained well from 2013 to 2017. In fact, I looked at their past trend these two return Metrics and they have maintained well at current levels of ROA (above 13%) and ROE (above 20%). We must realise that it is not easy to maintain the ROA and ROE in any business while it is growing it's assets and shareholders' equity through time. To be able to maintain the same level or even increase the level of ROA and ROE would mean the business has high efficiency. Riverstone just demonstrated their high efficiency in their businesses. If they can continue to maintain these same levels of returns, I will be even much more impressed with them.

ROA - is a measure of company profitability relative to total assets. It is calculated by dividing Tax Effective EBIT ( earning before interest and tax) by average total assets over a twelve months period.


ROE - is a measure of company profitability relative to total equity. It is calculated by dividing Tax Effective EBIT ( earning before interest and tax) by average total equity over a twelve months period.

I have roughly workout the intrinsic Ops Cash flow value of $1.25 taking into consideration the CAGR of 16.14%. Discount factor of 4%.
Let factor in the further discount of 0.85 X $1.25 = $1.06.

Dividend of 2.3 cents p.a. Yield is about 2.25%( current price of S$1.02). 
NAV of S$0.282.

The current price of $1.02 is approaching the fair value of $1.06. Giving the fact that the company is growing and has been consistently increasing their total gross revenue and net profit level. looks like it may trade well above the fair value of $1.06. 
I think if there is any further weakness in price, i may consider to slowly accumulate.
Might be anything between 80-90 cents..That may provide a bigger Margin of Safety.


Is hard to debate how many discount factor percentage to use to calculate the intrinsic value. For this healthcare related company, rolling EPS of 5.7 cents, PE of 17.7 times seems quite attractive. Pls dyodd.
Let say the average PE for a healthcare related company might be trading around PE 22 times. We would have come out a Target Price of $1.25.


not a call to buy or sell.
