once the take up rate is translated to firm up sales, then the unbilled sales should easily surpass RM1.2B.
Let us not forget about Union Suites. Management has hinted that they are confident the sales for Union Suites will easily surpass 80%. Knowing Tan Sri Azman Yahya's style, he will not launch the project if sales does not surpass 80% since he wants each of his project to be cash flow neutral.
A gleaming year ahead for SymLife. Unbilled sales can easily be at RM1.5B.
rubberish counter! look for other cheap counters with asset backing( cash and land) and good potential and fundamental counters. There are many in klse. Don't be too comfortable with symlife. There are small player in the industry cannot compete with big players.
currently, this counter is extremely undervalued from both P&L and balance sheet perspective. A lot has been said about the ridiculously low net book value for Sungai Long land and how the NTA will shoot through the roof once Sungai Long has been revalued. Hence, I will not reinvent the wheel.
The main game changer here is the Star Residences project at KLCC. Profit margin is kick ass given that the land cost is ridiculously low at RM500 per sqf. I believe even with a high sales commission paid to attract overseas buyers, margin is somehow preserved at the high twenties owing to the extraordinarily low land cost.
Let us take a look at RT2 and how it impacts unbilled sales. According to Q2'17, unbilled sales hovers at about $950M (close to $1B). This is based on 50% take up rate at RT2. According to http://star-residences.com/assets/img/news/starnews-03.pdf sales for RT2 has achieved more than 70%. With this announcement, I believe that unbilled sales will easily increase by additional $45M to $995M. (Why $45M? = 300 units per Retail Tower x RM1.5M each (cheapest unit @ RM1.5M and max @ RM3M for penthouse units - being conservative, we take RM1.5M across the board) x 20% delta (between 50% vs 70% take up rate) / 2 due to 50%-50% JV) = $45M).
Of course, if they finished selling RT2 - then, unbilled sales should increase by a whopping $67.5M (same calculation per above), thus bringing it to $1.06B.
To keep things simple, unbilled sales can easily surpass $1B mark once RT2 is completely sold.
Well, can management achieved this feat? Well, they just raised the selling price at Sep'16. When a developer raised the selling price especially in such a soft market, they are confident they can complete selling the remaining units for RT2. If not, it is just suicide.
During AGM2016, management has revealed there are in the initial stages of discussion with a service operator to sell 70% of RT3. Of course, this deal is still shrouded with uncertainties. What is certain is that RT2 is now 70% sold and I am confident they can finish selling RT2 by the middle of 2017. Then, unbilled sales should hit RM1.06B.
Now, the next project in the pipeline is Union Suites with a GDV of RM0.4B. One of the takeaways from AGM2016 is that Datuk Azman Yahya has hinted that he is pretty confident the sales for Union Suites will easily surpass 80%. Why is this important? Datuk Azman Yahya has emphasized that for a project to be cashflow neutral, sales need to surpass 80% and they will not launch if he is NOT confident if sales cannot hit 80%. Now, whether his team can deliver those numbers? This is a big question mark.
Assuming if he can, then, total unbilled sales can easily hit RM1.4B (a very conservative number) for 2017. This has a big impact on share price. Assuming if Star Residences, TWY and Union Suites takes about 4 years to complete, then,
RM1.4B (unbilled sales) / 4 years x 20% net profit margin = $70M net profit / 310M shares = $0.22 EPS. Assuming if a conversative P/E of 5 is applied = 5 x $0.22 = RM1.10.
We should be looking at a share price of RM1.00 (to be conservative).
Hence, from the current share price of $0.65, there is a potential gain of 50%.
now is the best time to access management's ability to deliver sales.
Extract from Q2'17 for Union Suites: We intend to launch Union Suites@Sunway, with a projected GDV of RM400 million. This development consists of over 600 units of mainly small fully-furnished apartments targeted for students' accommodation and investors due to its proximity to several established universities, colleges and medical centres in the Sunway area. We are confident that despite the soft market, this development will be well received.
So, let us wait and see if they can achieve 80% sales - as implied by Datuk Azman Yahya during 2016 AGM. So far, he has delivered on both counts - TWY and Star Resi. Waiting for Union Suites.... :-)
Unbilled sales refers to revenue which has been recognised but not billed to the purchaser. Unbilled sale = total sales generated by SPA signed - total revenue
Revenue is recognised based on percentage of completion Percentage of completion is usually based on budgeted cost
Say, sales value is RM150m, and budgeted cost is RM100m And u already spent RM10m So, u can recognise revenue of 10% i.e. RM15m But, u have only billed your customer RM10m RM5m is unbilled sale
smartInvestor1 thank you! but why can't it be billed? because their unbilled sales seem announced for quite some time already. any previous case happened like developer lied about their unbilled sales?
@ Si Min Tan, the reason it cannot be billed is because both TWY and Star Residences (both projects contribute significantly to the unbilled sales) are just about 20-30% completed. Sales are progressively recognized based on stage of completion.
