Recently I just had a study of its latest quarterly report. I found that the figure of its "Cash & Bank" way below its short-term borrowings. This situation is nothing new to Sime, however should we need to worry about it as an investor? The Motor Sector in China is highly affected by the pricing war.....

KUALA LUMPUR: Sime Darby Bhd wrapped its 2024 financial year (FY24) with a bottom-line twice as large as the previous year's due to a RM2bil gain from its disposal of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) in December 2023.

During the 12-month period, the group posted a net profit of RM3.31bil, which compares to RM1.46bil in FY23.

Excluding one-off items, the group's earnings remained 14% higher at RM1.3bil, largely owing to higher profits from its industrial business in Australia, the strong performance from the motors businesses in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as the maiden profit contribution from the UMW division.

In line with the performance, Sime Darby declared a second interim dividend of 10 sen per share, bringing its total dividend payout in FY24 to 13 sen a share or RM886mil.

In 4QFY24 alone, the group said its performance was impacted by the motors division, which undertook a strategic review of its operations, incurring impairments of RM229mil.

This is a strong result for Sime Darby Bhd.

Significant Increase in Net Profit: The net profit for FY24 was RM3.31 billion, more than double the RM1.46 billion from FY231. This substantial increase was largely due to a RM2 billion gain from the sale of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care.

Core Earnings Growth: Excluding one-off items, the group’s earnings were still 14% higher at RM1.3 billion. This growth was driven by higher profits from its industrial business in Australia, strong performance from the motors businesses in Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, and the first profit contribution from the UMW division.

Dividend Payout: Sime Darby declared a total dividend payout of 13 sen per share for FY24, amounting to RM886 million. This reflects the company’s commitment to returning value to its shareholders.

Challenges in 4QFY24: The fourth quarter saw some challenges, particularly in the motors division, which incurred impairments of RM229 million due to a strategic review. Despite this, the overall annual performance remained strong.

Overall, the results indicate a robust financial performance, with significant growth in net profit and core earnings, alongside a solid dividend payout. This performance, despite some challenges, Sime Darby is well-positioned for future growth…

If you exclude the 2 billion one off gain, the net profit is only RM1.31 billion which is a decrase compared to RM1.46 billion in FY23

I believe the funds are moving to Banking Sectors.

Here is the valuation based on Wall Street

SIME (MYR2.44) is trading below our estimate of fair value (MYR3.4)

Significantly Below Fair Value: SIME is trading below fair value by more than 20%.

SIME is good value based on its Price-To-Earnings Ratio (13.2x) compared to the peer average (14x).

Analyst Forecast: Target price is more than 20% higher than the current share price and analysts are within a statistically confident range of agreement.

Sime Darby Bhd closed its financial year ended June 30, 2024 (FY2024) on a strong footing, reporting impressive results. Here are the key points:

Net Profit Surge: The net profit more than doubled to RM3.31 billion from RM1.46 billion in the previous year. This substantial increase was primarily due to a RM2 billion gain from the sale of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) in December 2023.

Core Earnings Growth: Excluding one-off items, the core net profit for FY2024 reached RM1.3 billion, representing a 14% increase from FY2023. This growth was driven by higher profits from the industrial business in Australia, strong performance in the motors businesses across Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, and the maiden profit contribution from the UMW division.

Revenue Jump: Revenue for FY2024 surged by 39% to RM67.13 billion from RM48.29 billion in FY2023.

Dividend Payout: Sime Darby declared a total dividend payout of 13 sen per share for FY2024, amounting to RM886 million, demonstrating its commitment to shareholders.

Challenges in 4QFY24: In the fourth quarter (4QFY2024), net profit declined by 85.7% to RM89 million due to one-off impairments and provisions at the motors division, losses in the motors operations in China, higher finance costs, and deferred tax provisions. However, revenue for the quarter improved by 41.4%.

Despite these challenges, Sime Darby remains optimistic about its core financial performance for FY2025, expecting consistency with FY2024. The company’s market value currently stands at RM17.93 billion

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 27): Sime Darby Bhd (KL:SIME) closed the financial year ended June 30, 2024 (FY2024) on a strong footing, with its net profit more than doubling to RM3.31 billion from RM1.46 billion in the previous year. This was largely due to a RM2 billion gain from the disposal of Ramsay Sime Darby Health Care (RSDH) in December 2023.

As a result, earnings per share grew to 48.5 sen for FY2024, compared with 21.4 sen for FY2023.

However, stripping out the one-off item, the automotive and industrial conglomerate reported a core net profit of RM1.3 billion in FY2024, up 14% from FY2023, on higher profits from the industrial business in Australia, the strong performance of the motors businesses in Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan, as well as the maiden profit contribution from the UMW division.

Revenue for FY2024 saw a 39% jump to RM67.13 billion from RM48.29 billion in FY2023.

Sime Darby declared a second interim dividend of 10 sen per share for FY2024, payable on Sept 30. This brings the total dividend payout for FY2024 to 13 sen per share or RM886 million.

For the fourth financial quarter ended June 30, 2024 (4QFY2024), however, Sime Darby saw net profit fall 85.7% to RM89 million from RM622 million a year earlier, mainly due to one-off impairments and provisions at the motors division, losses at the motors operations in China, higher finance costs and deferred tax provisions. This resulted in lower earnings per share of 1.3 sen for 4QFY2024, compared with 9.1 sen for 4QFY2023.

Nevertheless, revenue for the quarter saw a 41.4% improvement to RM18.8 billion from RM13.29 billion a year earlier.

Full year 2024 earnings: EPS and revenues exceed analyst expectations

Full year 2024 results:
EPS: RM0.18 (down from RM0.19 in FY 2023).
Revenue: RM67.1b (up 39% from FY 2023).
Net income: RM1.26b (down 1.9% from FY 2023).
Profit margin: 1.9% (down from 2.7% in FY 2023). The decrease in margin was driven by higher expenses.

Revenue exceeded analyst estimates by 7.1%. Earnings per share (EPS) also surpassed analyst estimates by 134%.

Revenue is forecast to grow 4.0% p.a. on average during the next 3 years, compared to a 7.1% growth forecast for the Industrials industry in Asia.

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 8% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 2% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth.

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 13): Total new vehicle sales in Malaysia, also known as total industry volume (TIV), dropped 8% in October to 69,859 units from 76,173 units sold in the same month last year, according to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA).

Of the new vehicle sales in October, passenger vehicles made up 64,322 units — down 6% from 68,721 units in October last year — while commercial vehicle sales fell 26%, to 5,537 units from 7,452 units.

Nevertheless, October’s TIV is up 20% from September’s 58,032 units, driven by year-end promotions and an extended working month.

This raised TIV for January to October to 664,002 units, up 2.4% over the same period's 648,130 units last year. This comprised 608,225 passenger vehicles (up 5% from 581,672
in January-October 2023), and 55,777 units of commercial vehicles (down 16% from 66,458 units previously).

For November, MAA is expecting new vehicle sales to be higher than October's level.

Vehicle production fell 4% y-o-y

Total new vehicle production in October fell by 4% to 71,196 units from 74,191 units last year, with passenger vehicles dropping 4%, while commercial vehicles fell 9%.

Nonetheless, new vehicle production in January-October this year climbed 4% to 664,246 units versus 640,633 units in the corresponding period last year.

In July, MAA raised its vehicle sales forecast for this year by 3.38% following strong sales in the first half of the year. TIV is expected to come in at 765,000 units for 2024 compared with the 740,000 units projected at the start of the year.

Based on the total vehicles sold so far this year of 664,002 units, at least another 100,998 units will have to be sold within the next two months to achieve MAA's target.

Due to reduction in vehicles demand (more of normalisation comparing to previously such a huge demand for vehicles - clearly can see it with the long waiting time against now). Also, not sure how China's business will turn out as due to poor economy. I think is for u to think if this QR will be good or bad, then u can decide to hold longer term or cut loss

KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 14): The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) said the country’s new car sales volume or total industry volume (TIV) could reach 800,000 units this year, driven by strong year-end promotions and robust demand for national cars.
