For  its  FY2022,  ISSP  recorded  a  significant  growth  of  42.5%  YoY.  This  Growth  is  attributed  to  significant  sales  percentage  increase  in  products  with  higher  margins  such  as  Mechanical  pipes  (FY2020  12.7%  Vs  FY2021  15.2%),  Black  Pipes  (FY2020  17.3%  Vs  FY2021  20.6%)  and  also  decreased  in  sales  in  lower  margin  products  (See  Figure  2).  It  also  recorded  a  significantly  higher  YoY  growth  for  its  1Q2022  Revenue  growth  of  88%  driven  by  high  sales  increase  percentage  for  both  domestic  market  (+89%)  and  export  market  (+88%).  

FY2021-1Q22  Profits:  1Q22  Biggest  1Q  earnings  to  date
Amid  Rise  in  Cost  In  line  with  higher  revenue,  Worth  to  note  that  annual  Gross/Operating/Net  profits  increased  by  101%/131%/176.4%  which  is  a  significant  leap  from  FY2021  earnings.  As  for  QoQ  Margins  in  1Q22,  there  was  a  decline  of  -19%  for  its  Gross  profit  whilst  operating  and  net  profit  rose  29.4%  and  197%  respectively.  Worth  to  note  that  1Q22  is  the  biggest  1Q  earning  for  ISSP  to  date,  a  remarkable  leap  for  the  company  (See  Figure  1).      

Targets  and  Outlook  for  the  company:  
With  Post  Pandemic  recovery  and  the  awaited  upcoming  National  Capital  City  projects  (IKN).  The  company  is  targeting  a  sales  growth  of  30%.  
We  expect  the  IKN  project  will  be  a  bullish  sentiment  for  ISSP  and  Material,  Construction  companies  alike  (See  Figure  3).  

Neutral  Rating,  Awaiting  further  Improvement
As  the  previous  report’s  target  have  been  achieved,  given  the  current  cash  position  of  the  company,  We  downgraded  ISSP’s  rating  to  NEUTRAL.  We  believe  in  coming  periods  the  company  will  continue  to  strengthen  it’s  cash  position  for  operating  cash  flow  purposes.
