The result is actually not bad. "The PBT for the current quarter is lower than the last quarter due to the determination of additional bonus in January 2017 in respect of the financial year ended 31 July 2016." Dividends paid to shareholders of the Company is 13.676m (10 cents div) VS 5.471m previously (4 cents div).
*The renewable energy segment has finally turnaround with PBT RM0.3 million for the current quarter compared to PBT RM0.2 million in the previous year corresponding period. The improvement was attributable to better operational efficiency and cost controls.
"The turnover and PBT for the current quarter were higher than the previous year corresponding period mainly due to higher turnover and improved market conditions," the group said.
I don't think the price will drop as organic growth is still intact. Most likely it will just consolidate around 1.36 - 1.39... Of course, you can't expect it too skyrocketing unless Alibaba wants to venture into Furniture manufacturing... haha... Insiders were not selling (much) too. Usually, insiders will have reacted ald at the afternoon of the Q result release day.
I think so. Most probably Jay Corp is confident with the future and need to reward directors while keeping staff esp foreign labours (earn less due to weak currency) to continue with furniture business.
Other than additional bonus payments may impact the profit, the most significant factor to bring Q2 profit down was loss on derivatives. Wonder why this didn't be mentioned in the "performance review" in the report?
KUALA LUMPUR (March 23): Jaycorp Bhd's net profit in the second financial quarter ended Jan 31, 2017 (2QFY17) contracted by 24.3% to RM4.63 million from RM6.11 million a year earlier due to lower operating profit, according to the company's filing with Bursa Malaysia this evening.
Jaycorp's revenue in 2QFY17, however, grew 5.4% at RM79.56 million from RM75.48 million in 2QFY16. The company's operating profit was lower at RM6.93 million versus RM9.12 million a year ago.
For the cumulative six months of FY17 (1HFY17), Jaycorp's net profit fell 12.7% to RM10.09 million from RM11.56 million in 1HFY16, whereas revenue was marginally higher by 1% at RM153.64 million versus RM152.17 million last year.
"The furniture industry remains the group's core business. The group will continue to focus on controlling cost structure and exploring new markets for products in order to achieve better profits and business growth," it said on outlook.
The furniture segment generated revenue of RM64.1 million compared with RM62.4 million, and profit before tax (PBT) RM7.9 million in the quarter under review compared with RM10 million a year ago.
The lower PBT was mainly due to a decision in January 2017 on additional bonus payments for the financial year ended July 31, 2016.
The kiln-drying segment, meanwhile, posted revenue of RM11.5 million and PBT of RM1.3 million as compared to revenue of RM9.4 million and loss before tax of RM40,000 a year earlier.
"The turnover and PBT for the current quarter were higher than the previous year corresponding period mainly due to higher turnover and improved market conditions," the group said.
The carton boxes segment contributed RM8.8 million in revenue and PBT of RM600,000 in 2QFY17 versus revenue of RM8 million and PBT of RM700,000 a year ago.
The renewable energy segment, on the other hand, contributed RM2.4 million in revenue and RM300,000 in PBT, from revenue of RM2.1 million and loss before tax of RM200,000 last year, on better operational efficiency and cost controls.
As for the engineering and construction segment, it posted revenue of RM600,000 and loss before tax of RM100,000 in 2QFY17.
Jaycorp's share price settled 0.7% higher to close at RM1.39, bringing its market value to RM190.1 million.
Q217 revenue is 79.5 million, already the highest record in a single quarter. If we exclude forex impact, actually Q2 PBT is better than Q1. And read to the notes, USD borrowings also reduced from Q1 of RM4.1 million to Q2 of RM1.6 million, that's mean JayCorp already cleared more than half of USD borrowings in a quarter, while registered forex loss in Q2. Forex position should look more positive in Q3 or Q4 result..
Donald Thump has failed to get two of his ideas (ban extremist countries, healthcare bill) implemented. What do you think his probability to implement other policies (including protectionism) successfully?
I think operators have sapu almost all the necessary stocks to control the transactions and volume. Thus, prices will be easily manipulated with news and results. Hopefully, it will go north instead of south i.e. totally opposite end where too much retail buyers trapped.
One of the most significant of these projects is the Pan Borneo Highway, connecting the states of Sarawak and Sabah on the island of Borneo with Brunei Darussalam.
The government is currently finalising technical and financial aspects of route’s phase two construction, which is expected to begin in 2018 and will run from the towns of Limbang and Lawas in Sabah through Brunei to Sarawak in west Borneo.
All 11 works packages having been awarded for the Sarawak section, and five of the 35 contracts for the Sabah stretch are expected to be handed out later this year.
