Don't forget that Armada Claire and Armada Perdana was also involved in impairment. Over USD350mil for both vessels, which comes up to around RM1.5bil.

The value of ALL their vessels (FPSO and OMS) is around RM4.8bil on the books.

Armada Claire still has receivables of USD20mil on the books, so look out for further impairment on that as well.

I'm still holding.

Yeah fingers crossed! FX have been favourable but the trade side has been weak. I'm thinking between RM15-20mil for the revenue. Anything less is very poor, and if it's more...then it's good!

As for net profits, I'm thinking between RM0.5mil to RM1.0mil, but with a strong chance to surprise on the upside due to the aforementioned FX tailwind.

Results should be out either today or tmrw.

I would expect nothing less than RM200mil.

"The agreement is valid for a period of 5 years with option to extend by PETRONAS. The contract covers integrated plant turnaround works and daily maintenance work on mechanical static for PETRONAS’ plants group wide."

Also, it seems to be this is for all Petronas plants group wide, as quoted above. So if that is really the case, may be even higher than RM200mil/year.

Don't forget though this is a JV. So MMHE (assuming has a 50% share) will get roughly half the revenue/profits.

My estimate on the low-end is RM200mil/yr, on the higher end perhaps even up to RM400mil/yr. Let's see what it actually is tomorrow in the research reports as hard to find info about this online.

Tomorrow is the annual general meeting as well, so let's see if there's any new news that comes out of there.

Yeah no regrets I made over 150% net gain in just one month.

But I will continue monitoring PCCS in the event it gets cheaper but the profitability improves going forward.

I believe this is one of the best companies in Bursa this year. Congrats to all those who have made triple digit returns, be it for the Warrant or Mother share.

Walao...I sold my WA at 0.15 last Friday. Bought at 0.06 in late Feb. And now it is 0.22? FML!

No but seriously, while I made peace with my decision to sell...I can't help but imagine the what ifs!

Now I'm curious to know if I made a genuine mistake in selling too early and that PCCS profits will continue rising strongly.

I'd bought 204,500 PCCS-WA on the morning after the results were out. Weighted average cost of RM0.0585 as I bought at both RM0.055 and RM0.06.

Sold earlier all 204,500 PCCS-WA at RM0.15 as I believe this may have run ahead of the fundamentals and that was a good exit price. More than 160% net returns in one month.

I still believe PCCS is good for the long term. Should it cool down once more below RM0.10 levels, I will buy again. Good luck to all present and future PCCS shareholders!

Koon used margin and Koon will pay the price. As will everyone else. I still don't understand what appeal this uncle has lah.

So crazy, why the push at close? Hate it when this happens, cause tomorrow it will definitely open lower at 0.82 levels. It's not even the end of month / quarter / year, so window dressing is not the answer. Almost 1 million shares changed hands in the last 30 mins. I wonder if someone just decided to push a buy order without any care for the price, or if there's some news about to come out. Doubt there'd be any news...but lets see.

Plus Magni is a "matured" company, PCCS less so. Add to the fact PCCS is aggressively expanding on the labelling side (with higher margins there). And labelling can complement its apparel business well.

Magni has very high net margins. PCCS has had very poor margins. By following through on cost-cutting measures, PCCS can increase it net margins and this will show a marked improvement in the net profits.

Where do you get the FX differences from? I understand the asset disposal part, as ~RM4mil net comes from the sale of their property.

Anyone have any analysis to share, having looked at the Q report? Is it sustainable to you...the margin expansion?

Stock

2019-02-28 10:08 | Report Abuse

Oh, and the margins have improved, and this has been sustained for 2 quarters now. Margins was always the weak point for PCCS. High revenue, extremely low or even negative margins. Margin expansion will lead to increased profits, and increased profits are what drive share price growth at the end of the day.

When facts change, I change my mind. I had to revise my initial assumptions. I was perhaps a tad hyperbolic there, but PCCS was on my radar and with this Q results I am convinced it is undervalued, if nothing else for the short/medium term. The business is generating good amounts of cash, and the rights issue is starting to pay off. Anyway from a risk-reward standpoint, more cards have shown up and this looks like a solid buy (for now at least). I didn't manage to find any discrepancies in the Q report, and costs are improving. I could be wrong, I may be right. So there's that.

I'm positively excited! Let's hope for something good. Stronger Ringgit Y-o-Y, large inventory to clear in the peak season, bulk of inventory as at end September was made during the June quarter when the Ringgit was weaker (i.e. lower costing). I'm looking at both a jump in revenue and a jump in margins.

I've been buying patiently since subscribing to the rights issue in October 2017. Got a good feeling about this.

Having said that, profits may disappoint and I will act accordingly based on my sell/hold/buy thresholds.

Maybank's research report is the only one that highlighted MMHE actually posted a core net profit in Q4 2018. You can see there was a net RM24mil in impairment on receivables, and RM4mil writedown in PPE in Q4 2018.

So maybe it wasn't as bad as it seems, plus if they can recover the receivables (which I believe relate to the EA Technique FSO) then there can be some nice little write back this year.

Well, interesting. Gap down at mid-day open, but managed to recover and close higher by the end of the day. I think the bigger fund managers understand that the worst is over. However, now the stock really could go anywhere - collect more if it drops < 60 sen, but at the same time funds may buy heavily at this rather cheap valuation in anticipation of strong profitability over the next 12 - 24 months.

Very bad result but the positives are that there are no impairments. My worry is if they can't find enough marine business for their Dry Dock 1 (reserved to MISC) and Dry Dock 2...then why the flying F are they "wasting" RM500mil constructing a Dry Dock 3???

I think the heavy engineering has bottomed out, but really the marine business (which was previously dependable) is worrying me. Revenue of <RM50mil for Q4 from this segment is the LOWEST EVER! And this despite O&G activities recovering somewhat in 2018.

@Hafid, the idea is that JCBNEXT's investments are available for purchase at a steep discount if you invest via JCBNEXT. The problem of course is if the Director's do not have a proper execution or willpower, you will be left holding a useless bag. For example, Innity is a shitty stock now, so will be hard for this company to sell their stake in Innity.

Similar to the previous quarter, I've done some projections and would just like to share them here, just to see how things actually turn out if nothing else.

1) Worst case scenario: RM25 to 28 mil
2) Disappointing scenario: RM28 to 32 mil
3) Expected revenue (conservative): RM32 to 45 mil
4) Expected revenue (high case): RM45 to 50 mil
5) Strong revenue beat (go all in!): RM50mil ++

Most likely scenario is for the revenue to be somewhere between RM32mil and RM45mil based on my estimate.

As for the net profit margins, I anticipate improvement in this area, with the net profit margin something in the region of 8% to 20%, with the most likely net margin to be at between 10% to 15% (excluding any one-off items).

So all things said I expect a net profit of somewhere between RM3.2mil to RM4.5mil (assuming net margins at 10%). But at the same time I would not be surprised there is a very strong earnings beat and we get to > RM5mil, either due to strong revenue, or high net profit margins, or both!

Still a couple of weeks to the Q2 19 report but I’m quite excited. Look at revenue...important for it to grow. If revenue is below RM28mil I take it as a sign expansion plans have failed. Same with inventories...if they are still at RM60mil region with no marked improvement in revenue, this will mean higher holding costs and lower inventory turnover, which will hurt profitability moving forward.

All the best guys!

If there is one major O&G company to go under or delisted, it will be Bumi Armada. Velesto/UMWOG has completed their restructuring. Sapura will complete its restructuring and has solid backing of the government via GLCs. Bumi Armada though doesn't have a good relationship with GLCs...many of its loans are from foreign countries, most of its projects are outside Malaysia....Ananda needs to delist this.

Really, really good valuation to buy in at. I'm holding 737 lots in total. It may not seem like much but it's substantial for me!

I think MMHE will benefit from the following in 2019:

1) One major contract award from Petronas - likely Kasawari CPP.
2) Multiple small contracts from Petronas and other local players.
3) One mid-size win from a foreign country (likely a project in Australia).
4) One mid-size win from Saudi Aramco via the LTA.
5) Successful diversification into offshore wind turbine fabrication.
6) Write-back of certain impairments/bad debts made in 2018.
7) Early completion of the Bokor project - means the yard can undertake bigger projects sooner.
8) Near completion of the Dry Dock 3, which should increase revenues by ~RM300-400mil in the first full financial year of operations.

Valuations are super undemanding. There's a net cash position of some RM500mil and the market cap is a mere RM800mil. I'd be worried that MMHE might be a privatisation target for MISC/Petronas. But what would be really interesting is if MMHE can make an acquisition of their own. The market needs some excitement to re-rate the stock. Till that happens, buy...buy...and buy more of this company. Such a clean balance sheet for such a capital heavy industry....imagine the leverage impact when business returns!
