Contrary to our expectations of stronger 2H18, JAKS Resources’ (JAKS) earnings performance in 3QFY18 took an unexpected turn by swinging back to a net loss of RM2.8m. YTD, the Group’s net profit of RM27.8m only constituted c.35% and c.37% of our and consensus full year estimates. This earnings discrepancy is mainly due to unexpected lower billings from its Vietnam EPC contract which registered revenue and profit after tax of RM32.8m and RM7.6m, which were even lower when compared to similar period a year ago. To recap, the project started in March 2016, with target completion by 2H2020 or c.4.5 years construction period. So far, only RM591m has been recognized or only 31% of total construction cost of RM1.89bn with c.1.5 years to targeted completion date. That said, management still believes that the power plant is on track to complete on schedule. We would rather err on the side of caution as power plant earnings continue to be erratic even though construction progress is believed to have been ahead of schedule just a few months ago. As such we cut our FY18-20 earnings estimates by 52%/22%/18% respectively. We are also wary over the various dilutive equity fund raisings done so far and the legal row with Star Media Group. Factoring higher execution risk and potential losses from the Pacific Star legal row, we revise our TP lower to RM0.65 (from RM1.10 previously), derived from higher c.60% discount to our SOTP estimates of RM1.60 or effectively pegged at c.6x PER. Maintain Neutral.
- Outstanding orderbook at RM1.9bn (from RM2.0bn in 2QFY18). Vietnam IPP EPC 2 contract registered RM32.8m in revenue and remained the largest net profit contributor with RM7.6m during the quarter. However, the profit after tax was lower c.26% YoY which was attributed to construction works which have now been refocused on completion of key components of the main power plant mainly undertaken by the Chinese partner, CPECC. We understand that of the total RM1.89bn order book for the Vietnam EPC contract, only RM591m has been billed so far.
As for the property division, unbilled sales as at 3QFY18 stood at RM160.5m, mainly from the Pacific Star development. The business division continued to bleed with higher losses due to reversal of LAD totaling RM12.1m, relating to Tower A of Pacific Star. As for its mall, the Evolve Concept mal is still incurring losses totaling RM6.4m. We still expect property to continue dragging earnings in the near term while waiting for completion of Pacific Star and also improvement of mall occupancy which is now only has 55% open tenants.

This company never pay any dividend at all, like operating a kedai runcit. Theoretically there is no limit to downside, price can go down till 0.005.

Icon8888, please come & read here, here got more facts and solid references. And a more reliable and realistic Target Price is now revised to 0.65.
I normally don’t trust merchant banker’s tp, but still thousands miles better than Icon8888’s one, because one get info directly from management and the other one get from newspapers. Guess who is who? Winner get some sweets.
