Note: ^ Excluding a total of 26,721,880 shares in the Company bought back by the Company and retained as treasury shares as at 30 September 2018.
The Group’s consumer financing business carried out by Parkson Credit remained strong with revenue and operating profit increasing to RM33 million (2017: RM27 million) and RM14 million (2017: RM11 million) respectively for the FYE 2018. During the financial year under review, Parkson Credit continued to show considerable progress in its consumer financing business by providing more choices and convenience of easy instalment repayment to its customers.
During the FYE 2018, our Hogan Bakery outlets have started to gain traction with increasing visitor traffic. With the opening of 3 new outlets at Jaya Shopping Centre in Petaling Jaya, IOI City Mall in Putrajaya and Leisure Mall in Cheras during the FYE 2018 and the latest at Mid Valley Megamall in Kuala Lumpur in August 2018, Hogan Bakery now has 7 outlets in Malaysia.
The “new retail”, a new concept that integrates e-commerce and physical retail stores seamlessly, has flourished in China, with tech giants investing actively in physical retail companies to expand their offline presence. While the emergence of “new retail” has brought increasing challenges to the entire retail industry in China, the Group sees ample opportunities and positive signs ahead, in view of the gradual recovery of the retail market there as evident by the steady Gross Domestic Product growth rate in China. The Group’s execution of transformation strategies involving the diversification of retail formats and optimisation of operations and omni-channel marketing has yielded encouraging returns. For the FYE 2018, Parkson China posted a positive SSS growth of 0.5% with revenue increasing to RM2,651 million. The higher revenue coupled with improved operating efficiencies have enabled Parkson China to turn profitable with an operating profit of RM111 million against a loss of RM42 million a year ago.
The Group’s efforts in optimising stores’ productivity and implementing cost rationalisation have yielded encouraging results which enabled the Group to register an operating profit of RM3 million for the FYE 2018 against a loss of RM142 million last year. Overall, the Group reported a loss before tax of RM83 million for the FYE 2018 which included impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, an investment property, intangible assets, investments in associates and joint ventures, and receivables totalling RM89 million. As at 30 June 2018, the Group’s total assets decreased by 8% to RM8,948 million whilst the Group’s total liabilities were reduced by 10% to RM5,340 million. During the financial year, the PRGL Group had fully settled the Notes with an outstanding principal amount of US$484.5 million maturing in May 2018 through new bank facilities. The Group’s net assets stood at RM2,234 million or RM2.09 per share (2017: RM2,391 million or RM2.24 per share).
Parkson, which operates a network of 46 stores in 30 cities across China, said same-store sales (SSS) in the country contracted 3% in 1HFY19. Parkson’s operations in China contributed close about two-third of the group’s revenue.
“The retail market in China has seen slowdown amid macroeconomic headwinds resulting in Parkson China reporting a negative SSS growth of 3% during the period under review,” it said.
Despite this, Parkson China reported a marginally higher revenue of RM1.3bil for the six months ended Dec 31.
“The lower operating profit of RM29 million against RM32 million a year ago was mainly attributable to the negative SSS growth,” it said.
Meanwhile, Parkson Malaysia benefited from the buoyant consumer confidence resulting in a positive SSS growth of 5%. Operations, it said, reported a growth of 3% in revenue to RM522mil following the closure of underperforming stores.
“Savings arising from rationalisation of stores and improved operating efficiencies have resulted in operating loss narrowing considerably to RM1mil compared with RM15mil a year ago,” it said.
Parkson will put up a good show in the coming quarter especially those stores in CHINA.definitely a good surprise.buy this stock before it is too late.consider this a profit guidance.
WC have got wrong philosophy in running his business :
- wrong focus in business and trusting the old generals whom have obselete ideas in on-line business model.
I had read the 2018 annual report but just dissapointed to find out he only focus vague idea in growing the top line figures without outlining his concreate core strategy. Obviously, Parkson is lacking in new ideas in conquering e-commerce business and surmounted without the first class executers within the group.
I invested small amount only in Parkson recently. At 24 cents, the most is it becomes 0, but there are many more cents higher than 24 cents. I will take the risk. :)
Hopefully, parkson credit will be listed like aeon credit for maximising shareholders' value :)
KUALA LUMPUR: Parkson Holdings Bhd is divesting a 70% stake in its wholly-owned hire purchase unit, Parkson Credit Sdn Bhd, to Hong Kong-listed subsidiary Parkson Retail Group Ltd for RM49 million.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia yesterday, Parkson Holdings said its wholly-owned subsidiary Parkson Credit Holdings Sdn Bhd has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of a 70% stake in Parkson Credit, to Parkson Retail’s wholly-owned subsidiary Oroleon (HK) Ltd.
129055444514385 I agree Parkson Credit is profitable and Parkson should grow their business. Why isn't Parkson expanding their business like Aeon Credit? Why only have 3 locations Parkson Credit and not more eg in Penang, Sabah, Sarawak or states like Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, etc? http://www.parksoncredit.com.my/contact-our-location.php?l=en
