I don't think there is a dividend. Although result ok, looks like old problem in Reinsurance business made a comeback again after change of top management more than a year ago.
'The lower net profit was the result of higher large losses and lower share of net profit from associate by RM9.4 million, from share of profit of RM9.2 million to share of net loss of RM0.2 million.'
I think the result for sept qtr is commendable especially it was a very challenging operating environment then. MNRB's broad insurance portfolio is capable to provide overall financial performance consistency.
1. The Reinsurance segment did not do as well despite much higher earned premium. 2. The general takaful profit contribution was slightly lower and revenue was flat. 3. However, The Retakaful and Family Takaful segments perform very well and able to compensate most of the shortfall in the Reinsurance segment
What pull down the performance wasn the financial asset fair value loss of - $2mil (vs gain of $22 mil in corresponding period), and share of result of associate of minus $2 mil (vs $5 profit in corresponding period). Without these factors, especial fair value loss, the company could have performed much better than yoy.
In the overall, profit before tax for the qtr still the same yoy. Tax is higher by $4mil which account for the difference in NPAT yoy.
@stockraider, the 4sen paid was the final dividend with respect to last financial year . I hope they will still pay an interim and final at least matching last financial year.
just collect in dips .. not many company able to make money in Q3 .conservative calculation , EPS 5cents x4 ..minimum EPS 20cents.. how many stock in bursa can give u EPS 20 cents for 1.xx share with a stable business ( non cyclical )
If your are a long term investor, important thing you should ask yourself is if the flood compensation change the fundamental of the company. What worry me more is their oversea Reinsurance business. This business incurred losses last Q. If it repeat again this Q, that will be a bad sign because that was the problem that almost brought down the company last time.
Mar 03 Third quarter 2022 earnings: EPS in line with analyst expectations despite revenue beat Third quarter 2022 results: RM0.028 loss per share (down from RM0.064 profit in 3Q 2021). Revenue: RM675.2m (down 3.9% from 3Q 2021). Net loss: RM22.1m (down 147% from profit in 3Q 2021). Revenue exceeded analyst estimates by 3.0%.
MNRB could be a counter to collect at current prices of RM1.00 to RM1.05. As expected the 4th quarter earnings rebounded after the 3rd quarter loss due to massive floods. In a normal year the earnings per share would be over 21 sen which means a PE of less than 5 at the last traded price of RM1.04. The NTA per share is over RM3.00.
The insurance/reinsurance is a growing market. To me this industry has a characteristics of a casino and utility combined. It is like a casino because it uses probability to calculate premium and payout among others. It is like a utility because it is a necessity for most individuals and companies. The good thing is that MNRB is the house/owner providing the service. This means that for most periods the company will make good earnings based on law of averages except when there are calamities or mismanagement.
The earnings will grow if the company is managed well all things remaining the same. To encourage investors to buy MNRB shares , a positive move is to have a dividend payout policy .As an example , if the payout ratio is 35% and the earnings per share is 10sen, 20sen and 30 sen then the dividend will be 3.5sen, 7 sen and 10.5 sen respectively. You share in the good and bad of the company and the company still has the balance of 65% for reserves/expansion. I am confident and optimistic of this line of business. If every things progress well, the price of this counter will be much higher except you need to be patient. I generally collect when things are quiet , right prices by me and the potentials are there.
PNB has disposed off CCM. MNRB will be next. It is a matter of right price. If the offer is reasonable, MNRB will be sold because it is not the core business of PNB. Hence do keep on buying at the current price. Big gains are awaiting us.

No mention of interim dividend . Hopefully, the company will follow up with interim dividend soon.
