Spackman poised for a solid recovery in 4Q

Its blockbuster movie 'Masters' could yield $7.9m.

Masters is set to be released on 22nd Dec and would likely contribute to Spackman's 4Q16 NPAT, said RHB.

"Our expectations of 7.5m in ticket sales would yield profits of USD5.6m (S$7.9m) and bring the company back into the black," said the research house.

In 3Q, a one-off gain of USD2.13m (S$3m) from the disposal of Opus pictures turned 3Q16 into profitability and reduced 9M16
net loss to USD1.65m (S$2.33m) from USD4.86m (S$6.85).

According to RHB, the divestment of loss-making Opus Pictures should reduce SG&A costs significantly by c.70% and be an impetus for the company to bounce back into profitability in FY17.

Its other production house, Zip Cinema Co Ltd, has a good track record and aims to produce 1-2 movies pa.

Coupled with Spackman’s joint ventures (JVs) to produce other movies, these factors should spur growth going forward, said RHB.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
