Matched some lots at RM1.43&1.44, as the borrowing of Malakoff mainly on RM and very snall portion wad in USD &AUS due to operation need. It sales almost certain withbthe contact. Good opportunity to accumulate at attractive price.
KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 21): Malakoff Corp Bhd reported a 27% drop in second quarter net profit from a year earlier as revenue fell after its gas-fired power plants generated less electricity.
In a statement to the exchange today, Malakoff said profit also fell as the group's bottom line a year earlier included fair valuation gains from the acquisition of the remaining 75% stake in Port Dickson Power (PDP).
For the quarter in review, Malakoff said net profit declined to RM86.29 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2015 (2QFY15) from RM118.08 million. Revenue dropped to RM1.3 billion from RM1.47 billion.
"This (profit drop) was mainly due to recognition of fair valuation gains from our acquisition of the remaining 75% equity in PDP in corresponding quarter, share of losses recorded by an associated company, which was partly offset by lower finance cost following the redemption of the unrated junior sukuk musharakah from initial public offering (IPO) proceeds in the current quarter," Malakoff said.
Malakoff said revenue fell on "lower capacity factor" at its gas-fired power plants.
Cumulative 1HFY15 net profit, however, rose to RM190.2 million from RM120.73 million a year earlier. Revenue was lower at RM2.64 billion compared to RM2.7 billion.
Looking ahead, Malakoff expects its FY15 financials to improve compared to the preceding year.

I also just barely escape as capital need to swap back to YTL, therefore, quick realize contra gain first at 1.46 without notice that share slump is actually to response to its poor coming financial result, thought just due to crazy selloff
The visibility of Malakoff is still very clear (even the economy is cloudy recently) and present profit down mainly due to one of the plant which still manageable. The debt majority was in RM (is visibility good with secure contact, the risk can be mitigated compare with looking for sales). 70%dividend policy will give a plus...
