KUALA LUMPUR: Bunkering services company Straits Inter Logistics Bhd registered a net profit of RM631,000 for its third quarter of the financial year ending December 31, 2017, representing an increase of 62 times from RM10,000 in the corresponding period last year.
Its revenue stood at RM32.9mil, a 63% increase as compared to RM20.2 mil a year ago.
In a statement on Bursa Malaysia, the company attributed the spectacular financial performance to the diversification of its principal activities into oil bunkering and trading in oil products successfully building a sustaining revenue stream
For the 9-month financial year ending Dec 31, 2017, the company registered a revenue of RM82.9mil, which represents a 65% increase from RM50.3mil a year ago. Its net profit stood at RM1.8mil, 600 times increase from RM3,000 in the corresponding period last year.
Straits Inter Logistics Bhd managing director Datuk Seri Ho Kam Choy said: “We are delighted to see the results of our business strategies bear fruit. Going forward, our focus will be expanding our asset base, strengthening our operational capabilities, and broadening our geographical coverage to capture growth opportunities in the oil bunkering industry in Malaysia.
“The future of Straits will only be better, as we have commenced our oil bunkering operations from Pasir Gudang Port, Johor in the 4Q2017 and it is expected to generate robust earnings visibility for the Company.”
Straits, which currently owned 2 vessels, namely Sturgeon and Straits 1 (with a maximum load capacity of 510,000 liters each), is a major marine logistics company involved in the provision of premium oil bunkering services to marine and cargo bulk transporters, oil and gas vessels, floating production storage and offloading vessels, cruise ships and ferries.
The company’s 51% owned subsidiary, Selatan Bunker (M) Sdn Bhd had in September 2017 entered into a Contract for Services with Tumpuan Megah Development Sdn Bhd to provide bunkering and related services for no less than RM45mil value.
For a company who was not doing well mid last year and then posted 5 consecutive positive result. I cannot ask for more. I am happy. I have lost money on all other counters but this counter help me to recover my losses. Bravo.
I think this is a good result, we cannot expect the the company to have sudden growth that give fair PE overnight, but overall we can see the company is turning around and moving there slowly and surely.
I agreed babybreath. Slow and surely is the right word. The management is moving the company in the right direction. I am sure the management has big plans for the company. Only time will show.
never expect the volcanic eruption in Bali to disrupt sea travel as well, Looks like Straits Tanker's journey to Fantasy Island 88 has hit a snack, may be caused by mini tsunami from the volcanic eruption.Now seeking shelter at Refugee Island 27
This company's latest quarterly result is a disappointment for those who had a high expectation for short-term gain target. But I believe itss long term prospect will remain intact.
I am still here. Not to worry, I won’t run just like that. My TP is around 38- 40. There is a good news which was told me. In this market sentiment, any good news will not materialise on the uptrend of price.Right? So have to be patient. In this market, to my knowledge, the only counter which is blipping now and then is Palette. So guys, be patient. Company is doing well so far. It will be good if they can acquire or join up with an entity so that they can really expand. We pray ya.
davidgoliath and ran777rpt, it is so good to hear from you two. ran777rpt your words are very encouraging. They are like beacons in a very dark night, guiding our Straits Tanker from running aground or hitting some huge rocks so that we can reach our destination, Fantasy Island 88
billionn you are again trying your luck to spread negative news. Hoping to pick up cheap, cheap. Excerpt from yesterday Edge, "“It’s no longer just about selecting a certain sector and hoping to profit from it. We have to look into individual counters and do our research — smaller caps that have done well in their financial results and share price performances, including companies like Straits Inter Logistics Bhd and Kelington Group Bhd,” he added.
david you should know damn well who are you mingle with? This is a penny stock. Agak if you are the gang of this syndicate pls ask your boss to push up now no point ding dong ding dong it leads us nowhere wasting times. Learn from PUC la
Guys, this is not a money game counter. If you are in for quick money then you will be disappointed. I had huge paper loss during Raya time. But now all have come back oledy. I have full confidence in the new management. They are creating values for this counter. Be patient la guys.
"Straits, which currently owned 2 vessels, namely Sturgeon and Straits 1 (with a maximum load capacity of 510,000 liters each), is a major marine logistics company involved in the provision of premium oil bunkering services to marine and cargo bulk transporters, oil and gas vessels, floating production storage and offloading vessels, cruise ships and ferries". The above statement is an excerpt from archives.. 1) With just 2 vessels, the MD estimates a monthly sales volume of 8 million liters.
2) The key to this business, given the thin margins, is pricing and smart buying. In managing its business, the company focuses on gross spread, which is calculated by subtracting from sales of marine petroleum products ("mpp") the cost of mpp sold (the price paid to the supplier). Margins can range from 5 to 8 %. Marine petroleum products can range from USD 340-380/ tonne currently, averaging RM 1512 per tonne.
3) Lets estimate for 3 months (one quarter) business: with sales volume of 8000 tonne/month X 1512/tonne X 3 months X 6% gross spread = est 2.2 million as gross margins. Cannot precisely guess how much are the administrative and other expenses, but just assume 1mil every quarter. Thus for three months Net profit could be 1.2 mil. Thus about 4.8 mil per year translating into EPS of about 1.3 sen /share based on NOSH of 360 million after the rights issue. Since it is an ace market share, a PE of 20 to 25 times will give a price range of 26 sen to 32 sen.
4) They only started recently with 2 vessels. Either they ply the seas regularly for more sales tonnage or they would have to add few more vessels to enhance business volume and profitability.
I don't think it will be an attractive result, but more so as an acceptable result based on their capabilities in the next quarter. But give it about 4 to 8 quarters down the road as they expand, this co will definitely reward medium term holders.
Billionn if you think this counter is not worth investing. Just sell of all your shares and stop commenting negatively otherwise you have ulterior motifs. Either that you are part of a syndicate
How the hell u know this is a turn around company price is trending lower low? u should at least sell your now nbuy back later. buy back later products
