3Q21 disrupted by supply chain woes

  • Due to supply chain issues, such as component and chip think this acquisition is for vertical integration to help reduce production costs and protect NanoFilm’s intellectual property.


Cutting margin assumptions

  • Given the inflationary cost pressures, production disruptions and sales mix changes, we reduce our FY22F and FY23F gross profit margin assumptions to 51.2% and 51.0%, respectively, from 56.0% and 58.0% previously when such conditions were absent.
  • NanoFilm’s normalised 1H21 gross profit margin was 51.7%. Our core EPS estimates for FY22F and FY23F are reduced by 11.2% and 10.8%, respectively.
