Niki

You earlier worried the expansion only grow 30%....actually, it is 30% initially... with potential to DOUBLE the existing capacity ! :)

Looking at the QR closely, TOTO is right on, that the profit before tax dropped a little yoy. The previous quarter had a tax write back of RM 690K and this quarter a tax of RM1.251M making a sharp difference of 1.941M

I think this is a buying opportunity....I will add...:)

This sozai stock...what expansion, current capacity also cannot maintain profits, when Nike is making record profits. Because of this crap magni is going to be dragged along. Even taking into account its net cash, this stock nowhere near magni. And dont even get started on its warrants. It does not have economies of scale, and with the latest results, clearly it does not enjoy the same relationship with nike

I bought Prlexus for its expansion and Growth Story ...

1) its new plant in Vietnam which is supposed to start operation in 1QFY18, i.e. Aug-Oct 2017, just a few months away, which will initially enlarge the co's capacity by 30% and with the potential of doubling the capacity in future.
2) its new fabrics factory in Kluang which is supposed to start operation in 2QFY18 i.e Nov17-Jan18. This will ENHANCE the margin apart from generating additional revenue from sales of the fabrics to other manufacturers.

Prlexus invested heavily in the past 3 years since 2014 in Plant and equipment which has increased to RM88million book value as at 30th April 2017 from about RM42million as at 31st July 2013.

This excludes the land use right of about RM12million..for the land in Vietnam...

The company has a long time business relationship with Nike since 1987 which accounts for approx 60%- 70% of its revenue and other branded apparel manufacturers account for approx 30%.

With the expansion, the machineries and equipment would be relatively new and thus should be more efficient.

However could the management deliver upon the completion of the capacity expansion?

Prolexus' RM88million in Property and equipment is relatively high as compared to others...

To my surprise, Magni has far less than that and yet
produced more than RM 1 Billion in revenue for its FY17.

The expansion programme is just about completing and will commence production in the 2nd half of this Calendar year amidst disappointing current quarter results and the unknown next quarter....

Should I sell for the disappointing current quarter results or should I buy for the "exciting" expansion and Growth which is just round the corner...?

Yeah I know, 30% initially, but we don't know how soon/how fast they can ramp up production to increase utilization rates. Even the 30% initially is a question mark.

But just look around you...many younger and middle age people are becoming health conscious today. Surely the sports apparel market is on a secular upward trend for the mid to long term. Prolexus business should be secure, but it may take time to bear fruits and reach economics of scale at the new plants.

I share this quote by Charlie Munger about long-term investment orientation:

Niki,
Thanks for the quotation.
:)

Btw,

I further checked from AR16 that the PPE of Prolexus as at 31st July, 2016, RM49million in the factory buildings and land ...other machineries and equipment maybe around RM40 millions..

Niki,

After the capacity expansion, the company would be in a position to receive big orders from customers like NIKE....otherwise the management would not have go for the expansion if there is no market out there for the surplus capacity built with hard cash raised from the rights issue....:)

Skliew,
u may apply the Recently appreciation of the 5 years for Land & Properties value ; over time Magni acquire period.
That, u may have a better answer.

Nike's revenue for last FY is USD8.68 Billion. Certainly Very BIG to accommodate good and quality players..

Those who can deliver would have a cut of the cake!

If Prolexus' management cannot deliver, someone please go and take over!! LOL!

This is bcoz of under provision of prior year tax about 1.02mil ,a profit co only need to pay tax. Somemore this is a prior year adjustment. Based on historical data, the 3rd quarter result not so high as compare from 1st, 2nd & 4th quarter, which is foreseeable due to seasonality lowest revenue quarter.

Magni's 4th Quarter (Feb-April) revenue also used to be the lowest of the 4 quarters. This year is exceptionally good. ... don't know the reasons?

Nike FY17 Revenue is USD 8.68 Billions. So do you think out there are people buying their products ?

1,251....... (690) ......5,813 .....3,649
Individual Quarter... Cumulative Quarter
30 April..................... 30 April
The cumulative quarter effective tax rate of the Group is lower than the statutory tax rate due principally to
utilisation of unabsorbed tax losses brought forward in the local subsidiaries and tax incentives being enjoyed by the
foreign subsidiaries.

The individual quarter effective tax rate of the Group is higher than statutory tax rate due to inclusion of under
provision of prior year tax of RM1,017,000.
