Q2 come out already! net profit increase 90%,but revenue drop 50%

Posted by kancs3118 > 2014-11-27 18:19 | Report Abuse

just have a quick look at their quarterly results. Despite the smaller amount of revenue, gross profit margin is still sustained at 30%. Majority of the net profit comes from disposal of CESB.
I concur - the drop in revenue is worrying. Anyway - management commentary was saying that unbilled sales is expected to improve in the middle of the year. Any other explanation? Need to dig deeper. I think the reason is due to the delay in projects.

As at 30 September 2014, total unbilled sales was approximately RM196 million and is expected to increase significantly when the 3 new projects namely TWY Mont' Kiara, Desiran Bayu in Sri Rampai and Tijani Raja Dewa in Kota Bharu are launched in the second half of FY2015.

Please correct me if I am wrong, without the disposal gain Symlife would be making loss this quarter, you check the cash-flow statement and see. But balance sheet is healthy I think.

the gain from stake disposal masked the last quarter result. however on the positive side elevia residences has eventually been launched this quarter. unbilled sales had increased a bit from RM175 to RM196, and expected to increase further with progress with elevia and wharf. however, delay in launch for TWY,Tijani @Raja dewa and Tijani KK reduce the excitment

Above all, I'm actually excited with the launch of Star Residences (JV with UM Land). The project had been launched end september and may only start contributing from this quarter onwards. Star Residences is divided into 3 phases, in which 1st phase (Residences Tower 1) had been launched.RT 2 and 3 will be launched in 2015 and 2016, apart from a mall. Symlife stake in JV is about 50% (correct me if I'm wrong) and for RT 1, 557 units are available for grab. Taking the min price of soho unit as RM1 mil (max price rm4.6 mil), revenue will be almost RM557 mil. Symlife profit portion will be RM50 mil. That will be for 1 RT. I work near the Star Residence area and now they are carrying out groundworks.

The disposal may not have direct impact to Symlife but will strengthen symlife subsidiary, symphony estates sdn. bhd.

Btw, Star residence project had featured in The Star today. The response is good with 80% take up rate. Total GDV is estimated at RM3billion, with Star boulevard featuring Walk of Fame handprint by international renowned celebrities.

@ azlan88, just a stupid question. Concerning The Star Residences, noted that the builder is actually Samsung C&T. What does that mean? Does it mean that SymLife is the master developer and then they sub-contract the building works to Samsung C&T? If that is the case, what is the role of SymLife? Also, since this is a JV between UMLand and SymLife, how will the bill for Samsung C&T being split between both of them? Just curious....don't really understand how construction really works....

Posted by azlan88 > 2014-11-30 12:06 | Report Abuse

kancs3118, I believe you know the answer. haha

Star residences project is a collaboration between Symlife and UM Land through their JV, Alpine Return Sdn. Bhd. As the GDV RM3billion is quite huge for small to mid-cap developers like Symlife and UM Land to carry out on their own, it is wise to carry out on JV.

Samsung C&T is contracted by Alpine Return to carry out superstructure construction, based on their credibility as main contractor for other superstructure such as KLCC, Burj Dubai, etc. Star Residence is estimated to reach 3 quarter of KLCC height, and that requires contractor that is technically and financially capable. So does the earthwork. In KL, there are a lot of limestone underneath the ground, which need to be taken care before constructing the superstructure. KLCC also has been shifted few metres from original location due to limestone and a lot of grouting need to be applied.

Do I answer your question?

Posted by kancs3118 > 2014-11-30 23:31 | Report Abuse

@ azlan88, thanks for sharing. Quite impressed by your grasp of details. By the way, how much is the cost of hiring Samsung C&T to complete the superstructure? Just trying to project the cost (and profits) of building Star Residences. Also, how do you derive the profit for Residence Tower 1 to be RM50.0M? Care to share? And yes - the JV with UMLand is a 50%-50% JV. Looks like the profit will be split 50-50.

It seems Star Residences will be the flagship for SymLife for a few years to come. How about their crown jewel - the Sungai Long land? What is the update on the state government land acquisition for the Sungai Long Land for Langat 2 project?

Hi all sifus,
Just wanna ask - why the closing price yesterday was at RM0.94. Then, this morning, it spiked up to RM1.04 but the volume is not much. I mean any "reasonable" buyers will want to reduce their cost and enter between RM0.94 and maybe add a few cents. Why wanna pay so much at RM1.04??? What is the logic?

kancs3118, nowadays many developers act as 'marketers'. They conceptualize and market the product. Construction part is given to construction companies. This way they can manage their cost. But there are developers cum construction companies, which enjoy superior margin when they do all the job from conceptualizing, marketing and constructing the housing project. Typically developers enjoy 15-20% profit margin while they award another 10-15% to the construction companies.

Average cost? Still on paper loss la. haha. I'm quite optimistic with their outlook, although current property market is on the downturn. Huge portion of their landbank is in Kedah and Sg. Long. Sg. Petani is picking up slowly but surely but Sg. Long is already prime for development. Waiting only for finalization of Selangor govt compulsory acquisition for Langat 2 project.

What holding Symlife back is delay in launching of projects. Time is money. The faster they launch the project, the faster they get the return. Most of Symlife projects are luxurious housing, which dampen their earnings in this soft market. Maybe they have to rebalance their portfolio to comprise affordable and some high end houses so that they are less affected. Their balance sheet although improving, with debt decreasing a lot after restructuring of business, still cannot compete with bigger developers.

However, on the positive side, I personally like the JV concept, since they can reduce the risk and expensive landbanking process. Star Residence is one of them, which is brilliantly marketed in 3 phases. Phase 2 and 3 can be marketed at higher price when Residential Tower 1 is already there and by the time, MRT is almost completed. The difference between Star Residence and Wing Tai's Le Nouvel (opposite Tower 2 KLCC) is that, the area is smaller, hence easier to rent out. Le Nouvel starting price is already RM4.0 million while Star Residence is opened from RM1.0 million to RM4.2 million for bigger area.

Sometimes I purposely have my lunch at one of warungs, opposite to the Star Residence project, just to check their progress. lol
