Anyone know why Turbo Malaysia Segment Revenue only made RM89,000, but profit will ramp up to RM5,095,000<<<What make this profit?? And previous quarter was make loss of (RM366,000)! **You can find in page 4 - Turbo-Mech Berhad - 4Q2014 Financial Results (Notes).pdf"
Besides, what is the "Elimination" mean? Why from previous quarter (RM1,151,000) until now (RM5,095,000)
The segmental revenue is only meant for the consolidated subsidiaries. The elimination is because that portion of the profit is from Malaysia ops which is an associate whereby the financial statements of the associate are not consolidated instead added as a separate line item before arriving to the final PBT...
Hi I m not sure on that... but it doesnt matter cause it gets eliminated eventualy and added back under share of profit frm associate... perhaps an accountant is better suited to answer....
Icon, I think Turbo's earnings will be resilient compared to the other players as its income is more recurring in nature. It doesnt have huge dependency to single customer. As its products such as pumps and compressors are used in both downstream and upstream O&G, they are mainly maintenance capex which may not be cut back too much especially if customers are looking to increase the efficiency of their operations. This is just my novice opinion, I bought it mainly because its so undervalued with a good dividend yield
I'm not too worried about the oil price. 1st reason - turbo's revenue is only 40mil++, the same is not difficult to be achieved in the following years. 2nd reason - a big portion of its revenue is derived from maintenance works / spare parts replacement. I'm in the same industry and I know most clients will stick to the maintenance schedule which means that their earnings have little to do with oil price. 3rd reason - their profit margin has been consistently more than 30% for the past few years.
No need play guessing games on its price actions. History will repeat itself. The only thing that can stir interest on Turbo is upon the release of its quarterly earnings. That kind of interest will only last for days. No need to discuss further on the turbo until the announcement is made for the 1st quarter on the 20-05-2015.
The key takeaways from the Audited Financial Statement December, 2014 are as follows:
1.Tax-exempt dividend of 5sen per ordinary share is assured pending approval in AGM.
2. Super clean balance sheet: zero short-term borrowing, zero long-term loans.
3. Cash in bank RM47.5 mil or 44 Sen per share. Cash and bank balances are denominated in various currencies: RM(3.8%), Singapore Dollar (66.7%), US Dollar (26.2%), Japanese Yen (2.2%), Other currencies (1.1%), see page 66.
4. Increase in profit margin (operating profit), this suggests that there is an entry barrier, less competition.
-Able to sustain very high profit margins and superior ROIC even in tough business environment. -Debt free with excess cash of RM0.44 per share. -Generates a good amount of free cashflow. -Profit margin should be improved further due to appreciation of Singapore Dollar vs Rm. -5 sen dividend is around the corner.
