Actually this counter is quite a good counter if you study on their strategy. Their portfolio are diversified thus if Malaysia economic goes worsen, this share will go up as a reason of translation gain. Keeping this share in your portfolio is strategically sound because firstly, it is profit making and secondly, it will give you good value if you are to dispose off and lastly, u can say whatever bad thing about the management as u want to drive down their price, the fact is that they do things right and their business is helping in our community. I don't see why should we discourage a company who help to take good care about welfare of elderly livings. We all would definitely get old some days. So let's not talk about whether the community support their business, at least shareholder should support their vision.
Mr Grady declined to say how many parties had entered into due diligence and given non-binding indicative bids, but said it was a good number. Possible buyers are major investor Singapore-based Mulpha and China's largest insurer China Life Insurance. On price, he said potential acquirers were also talking about "indicative numbers higher than where we're trading at the moment" as they were focused on the long-term growth of Aveo's target market and the opportunity to export its model to other countries.
"They're also looking at what is, by world standards, really good practice in this area and thinking about whether they can export them to overseas," he said.
Aveo shares, which have lost 30 per cent of their value over the past 12 months, were trading 5¢, or almost 3 per cent higher, on Wednesday at $1.77.
Over the six months to December, Aveo's revenue dropped from $208 million to $144 million as revenue from sales of non-retirement assets - a process started in 2014 - slowed to $33.7 million from $85.7 million. A $63.2 million after-tax decrease in the valuation of Aveo's retirement portfolio plunged the group into a net loss of $44.7 million from a profit of $149.3 million.
The slowing residential market had affected the 50-year discounted cash flow valuation of retirement properties the company takes the capital gain on in its sales to, and subsequent repurchase from, residents, Mr Grady said.
Further to our announcements dated 11 April 2017 and 11 August 2017, we wish to announce that the reconstruction of Hayman Island following Tropical Cyclone Debbie is nearing completion with a formal re-opening of the property under the InterContinental brand now scheduled for 1 July 2019. Insurance proceeds due under the Group’s property and business interruption coverage have now been fully received. The resort will re-open as one of Australia’s most luxurious resort properties and the Group anticipates strong interest from both domestic and international leisure travellers.
The whole purpose of investment is returns. If you don't give out dividends for years, what good does the nta do for investors. You are using the hard earned money of the investing public to enrich yourself. After some time people shun the shares, and you can then use it to your advantage to squeeze the minority out at even lower prices. It's a game many controling shareholders of listed companies play.
That's why all the way to holland as only majority SH, management and bod get most of whatever they did. Minority eat glasses is sufficient. Glad never buy this but just observing how they play around. Anyway, may be opportunities for trading.
You can cheat the minority, use the loopholes in the system and law, manipulate the financials but eventually that easily accumulated wealth from cheating the public usually comes with a price. Karma's a bitch.
Mulpha just sold the 4-star Esplanade Cairns hotel for 60% premium to book value. Increases NTA from 10.19RM to 10.32RM/Share (Share price 2.15RM). Reduces Gearings from 42% to 40%
In response to some of the above comments, the salary of the management here is much less than other less shareholder friendly companies in the space like KSL where the family gets compensated 10 mill while it is closer to 1.5 mill at Mulpha.
Never the less, I would like to hear of specific examples where members know that Mulpha has acted in the disinterest of shareholders. I know that there was talk of the company canceling non marketable during the consolidation 10:1 a few years back. Not sure if this was true
Aug 6 (Reuters) - Australia’s Aveo Group said on Tuesday that Brookfield Asset Management Inc had offered A$1.27 billion ($859.4 million) in cash to acquire the retirement-home operator.
The disclosure is the first time Aveo has put a value on the offer since it first revealed it was in talks with the Canadian firm nearly a month ago.
Brookfield’s proposal values Aveo at A$2.195 per share, representing a 8.1% premium to the company’s last close.
What a disgusting poor half year performance, someone got fired by now??......... or really want cheap cheap cheat "Buy back" ?.........hehehe...........
OTHERS MULPHA INTERNATIONAL BHD ("MULPHA") PRIVATISATION OF AVEO GROUP LIMITED ("AVEO"), A 24.39% OWNED ASSOCIATE COMPANY OF MULPHA, BY HYDRA RL BIDCO PTY LTD AND HYDRA RL TOPCO PTY LTD, ENTITIES CONTROLLED BY BROOKFIELD ASSET MANAGEMENT INC, ON BEHALF OF ITS MANAGED FUNDS ("OFFEROR PARTIES") VIA A TRUST SCHEME AND A COMPANY SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT ("SCHEMES")
I suspect Brookfield is going to come in, clean up the business and exit in 3-5 years at a fair price. The independent valuation in the scheme booklet says that the medium to long term is bright for Aveo and that short term looks bad, but with Brookfield coming onboard as a financial backdrop for Aveo, we can expect good things from Aveo moving forward.
Mulpha is expected to keep the stake in Aveo via the script as Brookfield works its magic. Mulpha shareholders will benefit when Brookfield exits Aveo after it cleans it up. Aveo shares were selling at a discount prior to the deal, but with Brookfield, the business should find itself reflecting the businesses true value sooner or later
The the Brookfield takeover of Aveo, The scheme still needs to be voted for but the indicative timeline suggests the transaction will be completed before the end of the year.
Scheme meeting late October Effective date Early November Implementation date mid November
It is encouraging that management is taking steps to close the gap between Net Tangible Asset value and the price of the shares
Mulpha has elected to take 1/3 of its ownership in Aveo as Cash (100m AUD, 285m MYR). The current market cap of Mulpha is 616M MYR. The additional liquid assets are very attractive to shareholders.
Mulpha can make land acquisitions in Sydneys depressed market (not a bad idea) or preferably, BUYBACK shares. Buying back shares at these depressed values would be equivalent to buying trophy Sydney properties at 70% off.
Sale of Rydges Esplanade Resort Located in Cairns Australia announced on the 17 July 2019 has been completed for a total consideration of A$35.8 million (equivalent to approximately RM104.5 million)
Beautiful results. Is ok to make losses as it will take some times to fully deplete its NTA. May be the next impairment will be the current assets as it is too high.
The whopping RM315.38 million impairment on its investment in an Australia-listed associate, AVEO, widened Mulpha International Bhd's net loss substantially to RM299.32 million in the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2019 (3QFY19) from RM6.65 million in the previous corresponding quarter.
The hefty impairment offset the improved performance in the hospitality and property divisions, said the company in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
This impairment loss is just a temporary loss but long term gain to let giant asset manager, Brookfield with USD330billion assets to deal with legal suit in aveo. which affects its image. Mulpha will still own 15.5% indirect shareholding in the newco. thus, good chance to recover back its impairment loss., eventually.
This business is at maximum pesimism now. Moving forward, mulpha has a trove of trophy assets which are all performing well.
Commercial as expected and indexed to inflation, was not effected in property downturn in Australia. Real estate seeing stronger settlements in Brisbane. Enterprising management lending credit to distressed developers in aus, which in my oppinion is a better business than development. Hayman back up and running. Monetised cairs rydges. Leasure farm is struggling and will do so in the mid term until the market turns and they see more foreign investment.
Despite management/Brookfield ripping off shareholders, its undeniable that Brookfield is a specialist at cleaning up companies to sell or IPO. We will likely see aveo get monetised in the next 3-5 years. The write down is a short term accounting querk that is based on the quoted takeover bid from Brookfield (2.15 when nta is 3.5+ and at the trough of a property market and sentiment). The true economic value will be unlocked when Brookfield looks to exit.
This is an amazing set up and management should buy back stock. Quality set of assets for 1.90 when a fair value for the lot is 8+? Business is also cashflow positive thanks to resorts and commercial so not a melting ice cube.
Only risk is that management may enriches themselves rather than shareholders, but I think the risk is covered in that 75% discount. Would be a good asymetric bet here
I don't disagree with your views on the risks or management. The aveo deal was a joke, I also agree with you there. Looking at the situation objectively, the price justify the risk personally. Aveo was selling closer to 35% discount to assset value, you might argue that there wasnt enough marigin of safety there like there is here. Can't find any other set of assets of such high quality for this price. The assets are a solid investment, the management is speculative.
As far as using discount to true intrinsic value as a way to look at investments, this is an age old methodology from Ben Graham, father of value investing and used by Buffett.
Aveo is a baby giant which only giant manager like Brookfield able to handle it. Mulpha at this size level sure not able to come up with AUD1.7Billion to privatise whole aveo despite knowing AUD2.15 vs NTA AUD3.50 is a rip off of all aveo minority shareholders. Over 90% say yes to privitisation which mulpha no choice but to follow. However, not all is lost as the group opt for newco shareholdings 15.5% i/o of all cash. Aveo latest setback is reputation, image which only large giant able to handle challenging lawsuit by aveo old folks.
The best gift from Junior Lee is mudabangla dividend in specie which now rising up like dragon. Junior Lee did have give some return to minority disgruntled shareholders. Terima kasih junior Lee. Wakaka

GENERAL PROSPECTS AND OUTLOOK OF THE GROUP Over the past 3 years, the Group has focussed upon building the diversity of earnings and becoming less reliant upon real estate development activities. This strategy ensured that the impact of a material slowdown in Australian property markets in 2018 was partly offset from stronger contributions from the Hotel, Hospitality and Education divisions of the Group. In real estate, our initiatives to establish a debt lending platform throughout 2017 and 2018 has enabled the Group to generate strong risk adjusted returns in debt positions with lower risk than equity investments. In the short to medium term, we expect that real estate conditions in Australia will remain challenging and as a result the Group anticipates lower returns from development while we actively expand our debt platform opportunities. In Malaysia, we are focused upon creating stronger discipline and structure into the property development business to assist in minimising development risk and earnings volatility. The subdued property market in Malaysia over the last few years is expected to continue throughout 2019. In part, this is attributed to the change in government that occurred in May 2018 heralding a new era of more controlled growth. There is some cautious optimism for the economy to grow with a rise in consumer spending while the cost of living stabilises. We are confident that our portfolio of hospitality assets is well positioned for 2019. Our status in the luxury hotel sector in Australia and United Kingdom in desired destinations for tourists and business travellers will benefit from the relatively weakened Australian Dollar and Sterling Pound. Mulpha works closely with each of our operators to drive operational innovation and excellent operational efficiencies. This focus has ensured that our properties continue to outperform our direct competitors both in revenue and profit performance. After an extensive period of redevelopment, Hayman Island will open in July 2019 under the InterContinental brand. The investment in Hayman has included a range of new infrastructure and back of house improvements that will drive improved operational efficiencies upon reopening. Following the acquisition of the Waldorf Hotel in Auckland in 2018, approval has recently been obtained to subdivide 72 apartments to create 144 hotel rooms. Work on this project is scheduled to be completed in the second half of 2019 and will underwrite stronger profit generation in future years. The Group continues to actively pursue an active investment strategy in the Hotel sector to maximise portfolio returns. Our strategy to continue to diversity and build resilience to earnings will continue in 2019 and beyond. In Education, our private equity investment in Education Perfect, an online education platform established in New Zealand and Australia has outperformed its targets and will expand further into international markets in 2019. Our Hotel School joint venture has also delivered materially higher earnings and expansion into a new Brisbane campus is planned for late 2019. We are also actively working on building a diversified portfolio of private equity investments in growing companies. While the overall Australian market is displaying greater volatility than prior periods, we remain confident that the Group’s specialist expertise in our key market segments of real estate, education and hospitality will result in ongoing expansion and improved operating results over the medium and longer term.
