Disposal of Pulau Indah land worth RM317m to totally clean up balance sheet. On 20th February, Tadmax entered into an agreement with Ivory Merge to dispose off Tadmax Power Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tadmax, which owned 310 acres of land in Pulau Indah. The land disposal’s price tag is RM317m in which Tadmax will pocket a net gain of about RM138.4m (or 37sen/share). More importantly, the Group will utilise about 71% of total proceeds to settle the Group’s entire debts of about RM226.2m. The Group will also place RM50m into cash reserves with Tadmax ending up in a net cash position of about 8.9 sen/share after the disposal. We estimate its net asset/share to improve significantly to 92 sen from 56 sen.
Earnings will improve significantly after the disposal of Pulau Indah land. Postdisposal, Tadmax will enjoy about RM12m interest expense savings every year. This will improve the Group’s earnings significantly. We estimate if the disposal can be concluded by this year, the Group’s earnings will improve significantly to RM22.0m in 2015.
More disposals in store? We understand that Tadmax owns another 60 acres of land in Pulau Indah. Management mentioned that this land has been disposed to Inai Kiara Sdn Bhd vide sale and purchase agreement dated 9 April 2013 and completion is presently pending fulfillment of conditions precedent. That will bring additional RM40m cash to Tadmax’s book. Secondly, Tadmax is currently in talks with several parties, including Felda Global Ventures (FGV) to dispose its 80k ha plantation landbank in Papua, Indonesia. From a quick check in the 2012 annual report, the land’s net book value is at RM67.0m, timber concession at RM218m and goodwill of RM66.8m set-off by deferred tax of RM71.3m and minority interest of RM28.8m which will arrive at a net carrying amount of RM251.7m. Hence, if the Group manages to sell the land at USD100m (appx: RM320m), the Group will pocket about RM68.3m net gain. This amount will be much higher if the sale of the 80k ha land excludes the timber concession.
Turnaround in the making and targeting more than RM1.0b revenue in the next 3 years? We have witnessed that Tadmax has undertaken several corporate exercises (i.e. par value reduction & land disposals) to pave the way for the Group to restructure and turn around Tadmax after the “Wijaya Baru-PKFZ scandal”. Management mentioned to us that they aspire to make Tadmax a billion-dollar revenue company in the next three years. It might be a tall order since we have only seen the Group reporting less than RM10m revenue for the past two years. Nonetheless, management is confident that this target is achievable via (i) acquiring strategic assets, including local plantation companies or landbanks, (ii) landbanking for property development, and (iii) expanding its construction business by bidding for RM400m – RM1.0b contracts every year which, in fact, the management is confident of securing at least RM400m building-related job this year.
Reward to shareholders soon? The management also mentioned that they intend to reward shareholders by paying dividends whenever the Company has “extra cash”. We do not rule out potential dividend payments to shareholders once the definitive agreements of sale for the 80k ha plantation land in Irian Jaya, Indonesia are inked.
Tadmax should be fairly valued at RM0.82 based on 30% discount to RNAV. We think the best valuation method for this asset-rich company is asset-based valuation. Currently, Tadmax’s net asset is at 56 sen. Post-disposal of the 310 acres Pulau Indah land, the Group’s net asset will increase to 92 sen. If Tadmax manages to conclude the deal for the Indonesia land bank, we estimate its net asset will further increase to RM1.17. Using that as our valuation basis and imputing a 30% discount (based on average price-to-book value for the past three years), the stock is fairly valued at RM0.82.
On the current date Tadmax resources Position is Long - Buy based on Medium Term analysis and is Long - Strong Buy based on Long Term. Asset "Volatility Risk" is Medium and "Liquidity Risk" is Medium. In the Medium Term, Bullish phase is advancing, a short term positive price move is expected. In the Long Term, Bullish phase is advancing, a short term positive price move is expected.
Pua: 1MDB must explain RM317 million land purchase Published on 25 February 2014 13:53 DAP Publicity Chief Tony Pua today demanded the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) to answer questions over the purchase of 310 acres of land in Pulau Indah for RM317 million. He wants to know if the purchase was an effort to bailout the company that owned the land.
Set to fly.....Company is now debt free...cash rich.....who cares about DAP.....this is purely business....Tadmax share price might hit RM1.0.....Someone push the price lower and accumulate...interesting....
IMDB is buying the land for future investment.......nothing can go wrong if anyone invest in property......average price is RM1.0 million per acre or RM23.00 per sq ft.....future price will be definitely more than the current price.........IMDB will make tons of money in the future......
1 Superman...it could be to overall market sentiment today...but well absorbed....Base on TA...short-mid term price should around 0.71-0.82..the chart looks bullish for now....this NOT a BUY/SELL call....
After suspension, it is sell on news for contra , short term players. Thus need to absorb the selling pressure of t+3 , looking at things it is good to accumulate on dips and not to chase.
