InnoTek Limited 30th Annual General Meeting: Detailed Investor Report
Date: 29 April 2026
Location: Copthorne King’s Hotel, Singapore
Chairman: Neal M. Chandaria
Key Points and Investor Highlights
- Financial Performance for FY2025:
- Company underperformed expectations in FY2025, and Chairman cautioned that this could continue into FY2026 due to ongoing transformation and gestation period for new facilities and businesses.
- Significant upfront costs are expected before revenue and profit materialise from new initiatives.
- External risks cited: geopolitical issues, tariffs, and Middle East conflict may impact future performance.
- Fund Raising and Institutional Placement:
- InnoTek raised funds via a placement exercise, specifically to attract institutional investors and support expansion into new growth sectors, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI).
- Historically, shareholder base was primarily retail investors and family offices; placement aims to improve liquidity and bring in government-backed Singapore institutions.
- Placement has increased cash reserves, enhancing the Company’s ability to invest rapidly in AI opportunities.
- Chairman stressed importance of strong cash reserves to meet expectations from large customers, especially in the AI supply chain.
- Rights issue remains an option for future fund raising.
- AI Sector and New Business Initiatives:
- Company sees strong growth potential in AI over next 2-3 years due to significant capital expenditure by hyperscalers and a shortage of computing power.
- Key AI customers: Ablecom (main customer in FY2025), Nvidia, and Inspur (recently approved as recommended vendor for Nvidia and Inspur).
- Sample panel for Nvidia server racks showcased to shareholders; Company expects robotics to be next growth phase, with ongoing quotations for Tesla humanoid robot projects.
- Already active in the electric vehicle (EV) and automotive sectors, supplying components to industry giants like CATL (world’s largest EV battery company).
- Automation in new facilities (Thailand and Melaka) has improved productivity, efficiency, and quality; overall capacity utilisation is about 60-70%.
- Margins: Company targets 15% margin generally, 20-25% for machined components, with higher margins for high-precision AI products.
- CAPEX and Expansion Plans:
- CAPEX increased to S\$15 million in FY2025 due to new Thailand plant; similar investment planned for FY2026 to expand AI sector capabilities.
- Further investment planned for new machining facility in Thailand for liquid cooling components.
- China remains more cost competitive than Southeast Asia in supply chain, productivity, and quality, though Southeast Asia is improving.
- Risk Factors:
- Middle East crisis has already increased material prices and energy costs.
- Company plans to pass on higher costs to customers where possible and improve energy efficiency.
- Continuous evaluation of risks and countermeasures; Chairman recommends caution.
- For liquid cooling business, InnoTek supplies specific components, not full systems; liability is limited to component specifications.
- Resolutions Passed:
- Adoption of FY2025 Audited Financial Statements, Directors’ Statement, and Auditors’ Report.
- Declaration of one-tier tax-exempt First and Final Dividend of 2.0 Singapore cents per share (payable 22 May 2026).

- Re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as Auditors.
- Authority granted for Directors to issue new shares up to 50% of issued share capital (20% non-pro-rata); up to 15% under Employee Share Option Scheme.
- Renewal of Share Purchase Mandate: Company may purchase up to 10% of issued shares, with price limits (105% of Average Closing Price for market purchases, 115% for off-market).
- Poll Results:
- All resolutions passed by significant majorities, except for authority to issue new shares and shares under the Share Plan, which saw notable opposition (8.73% and 15.09% against, respectively).
Potentially Price-Sensitive Information
- The Company’s rapid expansion into the AI sector, approval as a vendor for Nvidia and Inspur, and new projects in robotics may significantly impact future revenues and share value.
- Placement exercise to attract institutional investors and boost liquidity could change shareholder structure and improve trading activity.
- Chairman’s caution about continued underperformance and high upfront costs in FY2026 is a key risk for investors.
- Impact from geopolitical and Middle East uncertainties may affect costs and margins.
- Dividend declaration (2.0 cents per share) and substantial cash reserves support the Company’s financial stability.
