Haha Mike, Just do my vaccine. Come back from Batam doing percommissioning check with my engineer using boss private jet. Next month need to go Batam again for plant commissioning.
Jaks current quarterly share of profits from power plant is RM 30m. This results are good as 2nd unit only achieved COD end of January 2021( about 60+ days COD in quarter ended March 2021). During the new startup of power plant, there will be many teething problems and high start up costs.
@SSLee, for LSS4 project, i think Jaks can start on 2nd half of 2022 and many banks are willing to finance the project . Power plant can start giving dividend after 15 months of COD.
The purchase of 10% equity in the power plant may need private placement.
We know that Jaks power plant can give them profit sharing of at least RM 30m x 4 = 120m per year. We can only see real results of power plant in next quarter as RM 30m share of profit are during initial start up of power plant with second unit only COD end Jan 2021. Jaks investors need to be patient to wait for paint dry
JAKS Hai Duong Power Plant contributes RM29.8 million share of profit KEY HIGHLIGHTS • Q1FY2021 PBT turnaround to RM15.3 million from a LBT of RM16.8 million in Q1FY2020. • Q1FY2021 PATAMI improved significantly to RM19.7 million from a LATAMI of RM6.2 million in Q1FY2020. • Commencement of the commercial operations of JAKS Hai Duong Power Plant contributed to JAKS’s profits substantially. SUBANG JAYA, 21 MAY 2021 - JAKS Resources Berhad (“JAKS” or the “Group”), a construction and power holdings company specialising in water and other infrastructure projects, and energy development, announced its financial results for the first quarter of financial year 2021 ended 31 March 2021, today. For the quarter under review, the profit before tax and profit after tax and minority interests were RM15.3 million and RM19.7 million respectively, as compared to the loss before tax of RM16.8 million and loss after tax and minority interests of RM6.2 million incurred in the preceding year’s corresponding quarter. JAKS’s commendable start to the financial year was made possible by its share of the profits in relation to its 30% stake in the 1,200-megawatts JAKS Hai Duong Power Plant joint venture, which amounted to RM29.8 million. The plant’s first unit commenced commercial operation in the fourth quarter of 2020 while the second unit achieved its commercial operation in January 2021. JAKS reported a revenue of RM17.5 million against the RM75.2 million revenue generated in the corresponding quarter in the preceding year. The absence of revenue contribution from the Vietnam EPC construction works, as it has reached the tail end of the project, as well as the re-imposition of the movement control order (“MCO”) in January 2021, which resulted in work delays and supply chain disruptions, were basically the primary causes for the lower revenue. 2 Commenting on the results, JAKS chief executive officer Andy Ang Lam Poah said, “I am pleased to kick-off the financial year with an exemplary first quarter earnings. As we move further into 2021, the Group will continue to recognise a substantial portion of stable recurring income from the 1,200-megawatt Hai Duong Power Plant joint venture for the next 25 years. This recurring income will support us through this volatile period while we work on our execution of the new large scale solar photovoltaic plant (“LSS4”), a renewable energy project, which the Group had been shortlisted for.” He further added, “Along with the prospering power and energy division, we will remain focus on our construction business as we deliver our on-going local construction projects which are near completion, while we selectively explore more projects that provide higher margins to replenish our order book. With this set of positive results being the first indication of what lies ahead for the Group, we will continue to focus on nurturing and building our capabilities to enhance our competitive edge. In light of this, I am optimistic that we will be able to present a sturdy path of long-term growth and value for our shareholders.”
Full contribution of Hai Duong power plant from 2Q21
The strong grow th in associate income qoq f rom RM7.6m in 4Q20 to RM29.8m in 1Q21 is due to the completion of the second unit of the 2x600MW Hai Duong pow er plant, which started supplying to the grid at end of Jan 21. We are expecting higher prof it contribution in 2Q21, due to the full contribution f rom both units. Jaks w ould also be recognising the remaining RM81m of EPCC contracts in the coming quarters in 2021, as it is still pending the f inal sign-of f f rom the engineers. We reckon that there is high possibility that Jaks w ould take up the additional 10% equity stake, af ter the plant is fully stabilised. The additional stake w ould likely cost around US$50mn.
Domestic market remains a drag to Jaks
The earnings miss w as mainly due to the higher losses f rom its domestic operations, as w e had underestimated the impact of Covid19 on both its property investment assets and local construction arm. Several of the prospective tenants for the Pacif ic Star Business Hub had decided to pull out, due to the uncertainty in the economy outlook, w hich resulted in the overall tenancy to remain at 31%. The rental collected f rom Evolve Concept Mall has also taken a hit, as most of its rental is based on a percentage of sales made by the tenants, but overall sales have been struggling since the start of Covid19.
Maintain BUY with an unchanged TP of RM0.80
We low er our 2021-23E EPS forecast by 5.1%-17.8% to factor in the higher losses f rom its mall operation, and also better contribution f rom the pow er plant in 2021. How ever, we maintain our RNAV-based TP at RM0.80, w ith most of the value derived f rom the power plant assets. We believe that future earnings w ould remain stable w ith the start of the pow er plant, hence keeping our BUY call unchanged. Dow nside risk: unexpected operational issues at its Hai Duong pow er plant.
Profit from EPCC contract from Vietnam power plant can cover all the domestic losses for this financial year. Post covid, we shall see the mall to at least breakeven.
some improvement over last Qr But Jaks only recovered half the losses from last Qr....that means current results is from a very low base.....a 200% jumps only breakeven with last Qr.
Why this stock still not flying after posted a positive quarter report? I think sure got its own reason. Just like serbadk... good company good qr but share price static
