it quite confuse to conclude margin down due to higher material cost. according to world milk powder price for Oct -DEC 2017 is reletively low compare to previous quarter & Strong ringgit wil reduce the purchase value.it should be benefit johotin,am i right.
"For the F&B segment, revenue increased by RM30.09 million from RM343 million to RM373.09 million mainly due to higher sales from dairy products. The profit before tax decreased by RM8.2 million from RM30.92 million to RM22.72 million mainly due to higher raw material cost and allowance for doubtful debts in the current year under review."
"Higher Raw Material Cost" quoted from their financial report, "Doubtful debt" is a problem too, they have to be more careful with retailer credibility.
that milk powder price news is true, but result turn out like that, i am speechless.
When the QR 2017-03-31 profit start go down, My friend take profit at 1.60+ but I still believe on this company until today , drop 0.5+ finally lost of hope already. Give up for better counter. Wasted 1 more year tim e it's enough..
@sapurakencana, may be company used Q3 or Q2 high price raw materials to make their end products, so the margin drop. Q4 low raw materials price may be reflected in Q1/Q2 2018. So, let's see the May result.
Another main reason is the reversal of RM3.01 million that was recognised in the first quarter of the current year as gain on disposal of machinery. The equipment supplier decided that they do not need the equipment and instead of a trade-in, they gave us a discount of RM3.01 million. This also another un acceptable reason-did company engage unqualify engineer to make the wrong dicision to purchase the wrong machinery,until the company need to back charge under this quarter. Doubtful debt appear 2 time in current financial year. If this 2 issue continue happen,is unfair to the long term investor. Management ,pls do the necessary step (SOP) to protect the shareholder interest. Pls dont be silent,pls show the result to convience us.
Profit decreased by RM4.14 million from RM3.8 million in the previous quarter as compared to the current quarter’s loss before tax of RM0.34 million, mainly due to higher material and operating costs in the current quarter under review
-From the above statement, i agree there is a possibility of high material cost for the quarter under review. But why operating cost also increase when revenue decrease / production decrease . From my understanding " for example if company engage 100 people for production line,monthly cost for manpower should be fixed .Electrical & water incurred in production should be reduce when production decrease. Anybody who know this issue please highlight.
If no answer given,i wil treat this as a wastage in production.This is bad practice in manufacturing line.
Itg100y- from my point of view, i dont see Q4 low raw materials price may be reflected in Q1/Q2 2018. if gain on disposal of machinery & doubtful debt appear again in the coming quarter.Think logically before invest.I rather down grade this counter to 90cent before any improvement.
@Sapura 1) that is not wrong machine, it just older machine (used for few years) with less effective/productivity/old features. usually company will trade in and get a new one to improve the efficiency.
Example: Label Printing Machine or Packaging Machine, maybe the speed is slower by 0.5 seconds.
Since they give discount of 0.03 million (3.04m-3.01m), Johotin untung.
2) operation cost = "allowance of doubtful debt" + "material cost" + "utility" + all others cost.
Mr Lew : 1.may i know are you the employee of this company,how you know the machine is clasify as old machine & not the new machine that i mention above.
2. i not agree your statement : 2) operation cost = "allowance of doubtful debt" + "material cost" + "utility" + all others cost. , from the accounting principal : operation cost = manpower + utility + other production overhead. material cost & allowance of doubtful debt are difference categories.
3. How you know when the milk power price is lower at Jan & Feb compare to DEC, Q1 should be higher margin as they purchase powder by batch due to it easily spoil .
my intention above is to double confirm the true of the statement.not to hurt somebody.anyway thanks for your reply.
@sapura 1. i not the employee,after i search through the Q12017 & AR2016, not much details. But some how i start agree with you it could be a disposal of the New Machine.
in Annual Report 2016, They have 8 million budget for "Purchase of machineries and equipment", it could be they wanna return 3.01million machine back to supplier. or it is not.
For your info,since i m a long term investor for this company & never sell 1 lot of share until now ,so i really need to get the true info from the company.are you serious on your investment?pls share why u invest in this company?
In the most recent 5 years, Johotin has spent total CAPEX of RM82mil for expansion.
Which is more than sum total of net profit for 2015 + 2016 + 2017 = RM79mil.
The business owner will only spent such a big amount of CAPEX if there is potential to grow and the company has the intention to grow.
As at end of Dec 2017, the new plant still haven't started to contribute to the company revenue and bottom line as per confirmation with the investor relation department.
Refer to Master ColdEyes book in 2018, normally the result from expansion of Johotin could only be shown after 1-2 years from the completion of the expansion. Johotin is one of the 4 companies that ColdEyes identified as growth company that he mentioned in his new book.
The 3rd QR 2017 also mentioned that Able Diaries Marketing started its operation since 3rd quarter 2017 therefore more distribution cost needed for start up.
The full year result of 2017 if add back the provision for doubtful debt of RM8.2mil, the NPAT will be RM34.8mil = EPS 11.22 cents
Looking at the potential revenue growth from the expansion, the projected 2018 EPS would be 15 cents.
If PE 10 = RM1.5 If PE 15 = RM2.25 (For F&B sector and growth company)
@sapurakencana, i agree with you, if the doubtful debts come back in next quarter, it will impact the net profit again. I notice that the management always give this kind of unexpected and unacceptable reasons (reverse of disposal gain & doubtful debt & products quality issue) when the result is bad. I will continue monitor one more quarter, if the management still give unacceptable reasons, i will cut it.
As at end of Dec 2017, the new plant still haven't started to contribute to the company revenue and bottom line as per confirmation with the investor relation department.
CY1214,if you the boss of this company,do you willing to wait 1 more year to start contribute to company after spend 82mil for the past 5 years.rediculous
if this issue not solve asap,i'm not afraid to said that this company may be incurred loss for the coming quarter.. Dont forget high material cost & doubtful debt issue still not settle. I rather down grade this counter to 90cent before any improvement
only invest: beside stay in 5 star hotel,you need to monitor the daily transaction whether player take this opportunity to sell off their share before /may2018
never mind.let see what the stock price if new plant (82mil) still not contribute for thecoming quarter.i think coldeye also wil leave this counter soon.
5 years spend 82 million still can not contribute revenue and profit, it is too long. Normally other company's expansion just need 2~3 years to contribute sales & profit. Next quarter, lower raw materials price, doubtful deb have been settled, no more reversal of disposal gain, local sales of dairy products start contribute. The revenue & profit should up.
Risks: new plant overheads, new plant & equipment depreciation charges, selling & distribution cost increase, salary increase. (hopefully these factors won't impact much to profit)
IF the profit still not improve, it does not consider growth company anymore. Who know we still need to wait how many years to see the growth.
My 2 cents after reading the Q4 report: In Q1, Johotin disposed an old machine and recognise the gain of RM3 million based on trade in value. In Q4, the machine supplier decided that they don't want the machine traded in and give discount of RM3 million instead. In other words, Q1 results have been overstated. Q1 purchase amount of machine has been overstated by RM3 million. These are reversed in Q4.
