Fgv continues to make losses but share price doubled from 52-week
Because investors look at future value due to continuous improvement and better pricing for its products. Same things for pos.


KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 28): FGV Holdings Bhd narrowed its net loss to RM262.41 million for the third financial quarter ended Sept 30, 2019 (3QFY19), from RM849.46 million in the previous year's corresponding quarter, amid lower impairments.

The group attributed the loss for the quarter to impairments amounting to RM304 million, lower crude palm oil (CPO) price realised and losses in the sugar business.

For comparison, the group made asset impairments amounting to RM788 million in 3QFY18.

The plantation group's revenue increased 11% during the quarter to RM3.55 billion from RM3.19 billion in the previous year's corresponding quarter, despite the sharp decline in CPO price and lower average selling price for sugar.

CPO prices averaged at RM1,983 per metric tonne (MT), it said, which was 11% lower than the average CPO price realised of RM2,224 per MT in the previous year's corresponding quarter.

The plantation sector posted a 15% increase in fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production to 1.24 million MT from 1.08 million MT in 3QFY18.

It saw a marginal increase in its CPO oil extraction rate during the quarter, which supported a 21% increase in CPO production to 832,000 MT, versus 689,000 MT in the previous year.

The better production volumes and operational efficiencies resulted in lower ex-mill costs of RM1,500 per tonne for the quarter, compared with RM1,852 per tonne in 3QFY18.

The downstream sector also saw improved performance, with the gross profit margin for the palm kernel processing business improving to 7%, compared to 2% in 3QFY18.

Meanwhile, the sugar segment posted RM220 million of loss for 3QFY19, versus a profit of RM22 million in the previous corresponding quarter, due to an impairment of RM145 million for property, plant and equipment.

The business was also hit by a 3% and 4% decline in average selling price for MSM Malaysia Holdings Bhd's domestic and industry segments respectively, which was attributed to an increase in the issuance of approved permits.

For the nine months ended Sept 30, its net loss was lower at RM317.98 million, compared with its net loss of RM871.77 million a year earlier, while revenue fell 1% to RM10.1 billion to RM10.2 billion.

In a statement, FGV group chief executive officer Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said the group's transformation plan was bearing fruit, evidenced by the significant improvement in operational performance.

"With higher CPO price in the fourth quarter, our improving operational numbers bode well for the future," he added.

FGV shares fell two sen or 1.61% to RM1.22, giving a market capitalisation of RM4.45 billion.

Pos Malaysia partners China’s STO Express for international courier services

Monday, August 5th, 2019 at , Business | News

It will help SMEs accelerate the growth of e-commerce in the country and contribute positively to the GDP, says Syed Md Najib

By TMR

POS Malaysia Bhd has entered into a collaboration with STO Express International Co Ltd, a China-based express business leader to jointly explore crossborder cooperation.

The cooperation will provide the businesses in the South-East Asia especially to the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the region, an end-to-end logistics platform with improved efficiency in international courier services at an affordable rate. This positions Malaysia as a gateway to the Asean region.

Pos Malaysia group CEO Syed Md Najib Syed Mohd Noor said both Pos Malaysia and STO Express International are leaders in the courier, express and parcel segment in their respective countries, so this tie-up will strengthen their positions through the exchange of best practices and technology in establishing an end-to-end logistics platform for SMEs, as well as individual consumers, thus providing a one-stop solution platform for international courier services.

“This will help SMEs accelerate the growth of e-commerce in the country and contribute positively to the GDP.

“Both parties will fully realise their common vision and goals in building a faster, stable, transparent, comprehensive and customised product and service offerings by cross leveraging their current infrastructures from logistics, warehousing and best practices in the South-East Asia. In time, the services will be offered to other countries including the US and Europe.

“This serves as a catalyst of business growth in the area of e-commerce and it will further propel SME businesses to expand in the South-East Asia market. In fact, it will be an excellent ground to promote Malaysian products into China and vice versa,” he said in a statement last Friday.

The project kick-off will include the integration of information technology system between both companies and the launch of the pilot delivery model plan by the middle of this month.

The next phase will be expanded into synergistic sharing of assets and new product development.

The aim is to provide SMEs and consumers with an enhanced customer experience through a seamless cross-border delivery services at an affordable price.

The memorandum of intent was penned by Syed Md Najib and STO Express International CEO Danny Liu. Pos Malaysia chairman Datuk Yasmin Mahmood and STO Express International chairman Zhu Qun witnessed the event.

Pos said it would revise its international postage rates in tandem with the increase by the Universal Postal Union starting January 2020 to align its operation cost.

The company guided for postage rates for delivery to increase by 30% to 210% starting next year, and may further increase by up to another 50% in 2021.

This is due to the US increasing its terminal dues rates, as well as other countries reaching an agreement to increase their own postal rates.

International mails/parcels make up about 5% of total postal traffic of Pos.

Pos logistics can do more biz related to proton cars, etc from drb. KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 28): DRB-Hicom Bhd reported a net profit of RM40.08 million for the three months ended Sept 30, 2019, compared with a net loss of RM11.42 million a year ago, boosted by the better fortunes of its subsidiary Proton Holdings Bhd.

The group said its better profitability was helped also by an exceptional gain on disposal of its partial equity interest in Motosikal dan Enjin Nasional Sdn Bhd (Modenas) amounting to RM33.59 million, although its services sector was affected by the unfavourable results of Pos Malaysia Bhd.

Revenue rose 12.9% on-year to RM3.59 billion, from RM3.18 billion previously, contributed mainly by its automotive sector, its exchange filing today showed.

For the six-month period ended Sept 30, 2019, DRB-Hicom registered a net profit of RM86.29 million, versus a net loss of RM78.02 million in the corresponding period last year. Cumulative revenue rose 20.4% to RM7.03 billion, from RM5.84 billion previously.

DRB-Hicom, which changed its financial year end from March 31 to Dec 31, said it expects to achieve satisfactory operating results for the full financial year that covers a nine-month period ending Dec 31, 2019.

The group said it has been steadfast in improving its financial performance under the current challenging environment.

"Backed by its well performing automotive sector, the national carmaker Proton has underpinned this sector's growth with its market share increasing to 15.8% year-to-date from 10.8%. Apart from its first-ever sports utility vehicle, the X70, demand for other revamped models such as the Saga, Persona, Iriz and Exora has also boosted the brand's appeal to the market.

"This has enabled Proton to register as the second best-selling automotive brand in the country. Meanwhile, the group's other automotive marques will seek to gain momentum with year-end sales promotions," DRB-Hicom said.

For its other businesses, DRB-Hicom said the focus will remain on prudent cost management efforts and improving operating efficiency.

Particularly, for Pos Malaysia, the group said the challenging landscape is being managed with the application on tariff rebalancing which is expected to conclude positively to improve its overall performance.

DRB-Hicom shares closed 4 sen or 1.65% lower at RM2.39, with 2.95 million shares traded, valuing it at RM4.62 billion.

asset-based micro-financing provider, Pos ArRahnu
successfully transformed into a one-stop gold centre that
provides micro-financing services, buying and selling of
physical gold, retailing of gold jewellery and safe-keeping of

We will continue to expand ArRahnu business given its
significant value proposition and potential to contribute
towards Pos Malaysia’s growth.

2. Pos Digicert
Pos Digicert is our digital certification business. As a licensed
certificate authority, we offer digital IDs, authentication and
validation services, digital signing, managed security and
consultancy services. To date, the total active subscribers
for the eFiling application alone is more than 4.5 million. In

INTERNATIONAL
Our international business connects Malaysia to the rest of the
world. The primary work of our international business unit consists
of the cross-border business, in which eCommerce customers
deliver their items to various destinations across the globe. This
is supported by our international hub and gateway in KLIA, as
well as our global postal network.
In FY2019, our international business revenue decreased by
RM13.2 million (8%), which is primarily due to the impact of
regulated pricing coupled with a rise in terminal dues. To overcome
this, we are working with our regulator to revise the international
tariff to allow cost recovery on the terminal dues that we pay.
The increase in cross-border eCommerce volume will drive the
growth of international business. Where appropriate, we will seek
to establish bilateral arrangements with relevant postal
administrations, as well as liaising with high-value aggregators
and regional marketplace platforms.
We will also strengthen international postal collaborations through
the Universal Postal Union (UPU), Asian-Pacific Postal Union,
ASEAN and other forums, thus forging closer alliances with other
postal administrations. We will also continue to actively participate
in the Asia Pacific Post Cooperative, which conducts research
and projects that increase the competitive edge of regional postal
services. As cross-border eCommerce continues to expand at
a rapid rate, our international business will diversify its services
to satisfy the increasing demand.

AVIATION
Pos Aviation is the only licensed independent ground handler in
Malaysia. This business segment offers a comprehensive range
of services that provide a seamless and reliable experience to
flight passengers. We implement systems and technology that
ease passenger handling, baggage services and charter flights.
Our services extend beyond ground-level, as we also accommodate
air cargo handling, in-flight catering, eCommerce and engineering
services.
In FY2019, Pos Aviation achieved a 55% market share of foreign
airlines in KLIA, handling 7 of the top 10 airlines in the world. This
is due to the successful securement of 3 new airlines, namely
Royal Brunei, PT Citylink and Condor, which take up 52% of the
warehouse space in KLIA Air Cargo Terminal 1 (KACT1). Revenue
from Pos Aviation increased by 5% for FYE2019 (RM288 million),
which is mainly due to the aggressive business growth from
Ground Handling, Sabah and Sarawak Stations, Aircraft Engineering
and In-flight Catering.

We also managed to secure an additional catering contract to
provide meals for the primary routes of two major Malaysia
Airlines flights. Additionally, our ground staff at the cargo terminal
handled 235,166 tonnes of items, a 2% increase from FY2018.
Pos Aviation remains optimistic moving forward as air traffic
between emerging countries is expected to grow at 6.4% per
annum, and will represent a growing share of world air traffic
from 25% in 2018 up to 40% in 2036. Asia-Pacific, specifically,
will lead the world traffic with a three-fold increase in the traffic
serving this region by the end of the forecast period.
The thriving eCommerce sector, which has grown rapidly by 71%
in ASEAN over the past 4 years, will also present a growth
opportunity for Pos Aviation. The total value of eCommerce sales
for the end of 2019 is expected to reach US$64.8 billion within
the ASEAN region, and eCommerce providers will require fast
responses and strategic logistics.

REVIEW

To revive our competitive edge, we are maximising the efficiency
of the logistics operations. We are establishing mechanisms that
improve our end-to-end supply chain and processing capabilities,
i.e. automated warehousing, which consequently increases Pos
Logistics’ competitive edge.
We are optimistic with Pos Logistics’ outlook for the coming year.
For the automotive industry, Proton has revived its collaboration
with Geely by introducing the X70 SUV. Since its release, the
sales volume for the first two (2) months of 2019 experienced a
42% growth. As a vendor for transportation and warehousing,
Pos Logistics will benefit directly from the increase in production
volume.

In addition to the conventional haulage services, Pos Logistics
diversified into specialised haulage services, which is a niche
market that provides long-term contracts and higher profit
margins. Pos Logistics is expected to benefit from the
Government’s recent announcement to reinstate two (2)
megaprojects: The Bandar Malaysia Project worth RM140 billion;
and East Coast Rail Link Project worth RM44 billion. This will
certainly provide Pos Logistics with the opportunity to participate
in the projects by providing freight forwarding and transportation
services.
Similarly, the completion of the Jimah East Plant is forecasted
to increase coal demand to 30 million tonnes per annum by the
end of 2019. As a major carrier amongst the four (4) appointed
carriers to manage the import shipment of the coal from
Kalimantan, Pos Logistics will directly benefit from this rise in
coal demand.

LOGISTICS
Pos Logistics offers multi-modal logistics services including
automotive, e-commerce, marine, and supply chain solutions. This
addition to our postal and courier logistics capability reinforces
our commitment to creating an end-to-end logistics chain for our
customers.
Revenue from our Logistics segment dropped from RM425 million
in FY2018 to RM301 million in FY2019. The reduction was mainly
caused by the lack of sizeable projects to replace the almost
completed RAPID project logistics contract. However, a number
of significant logistics contracts were secured towards the end
of the financial year.

COURIER
Pos Laju is the nation’s leading courier provider with the largest
courier fleet in Malaysia and the widest delivery network coverage.
Our presence extends to even the most remote areas in the
country, providing better accessibility and connectivity to all of
Malaysia and beyond.
The growing eCommerce sector in Malaysia presents a great
opportunity for our courier business. We are in the process of
increasing our touchpoints which will capture a higher volume
of business. Therefore, we are improving our digital capabilities
and deploying technology that will increase the efficiency of our
operations and processes to handle the increased volume.
As the Group’s largest business unit, Pos Laju contributed over
35% to our overall revenue. For FY2019, due to the higher volume
of delivered items from the eCommerce growth, our courier
revenue experienced a 6% rise to RM824 million.

We launched a number of new products that cater to different
customer needs. EziFulfilment, for instance, allows SMEs to
enjoy end-to-end services, ranging from the managing of
inventory at the warehouse to the last-mile delivery. We also
rebranded the Pos Express Service as Xpres Drop, which offers
economic-value offerings to micro-entrepreneurs.
Pos Laju is focusing on elevating customer experience, such
as introducing a Pos Rider Mobile app that enables customers
to determine where and when they receive their deliveries with
better visibility. We also established an e-connote system for
the digitisation of acceptance, saving manual processing.

POSTAL SERVICES
Our postal services business covers basic mail services and
retail business. In FY2019, Postal Services’ revenue of RM698
million contributed 30% to the Group’s total revenue, a slight 5%
decline from the last financial period. This is mainly due to the
continued structural decline in mail volumes.
In response to the decline in mail volume, we are shifting our
business model to meet the demands of the booming eCommerce
sector. For example, we are transforming our retail stores as
touchpoints for eCommerce fulfilment, elevating customer
convenience. Our mail delivery personnel will be offered
opportunities to be further involved in eCommerce delivery so
that they continue to be fully productive in light of declining mail
volumes.

GOING FORWARD
A tariff rebalancing will not be sufficient
to ensure our business sustainability. We
have a transformation plan where cost
leadership is the main theme. Part of our
plan is to examine and change our cost
structure to be more variable and to
reduce our fixed cost base. This includes
revising how we pay our people and
rationalising our touchpoints. We are also
changing our operations to be more agile
and efficient. These and other initiatives
will reduce our cost and increase our
efficiency

We understand that postal operators around the world are moving towards a more deregulated pricing model and this allows them
increased pricing flexibility to responsibly balance their universal service obligations against the ever-rising costs and coverage
needs of the community. We are working with our regulator on the appropriate mechanisms to manage the changes in the technology
and marketplace.
Although disruptive and emerging technology is causing the mail volume decline, it also provides new business opportunities. The
booming eCommerce sector in Malaysia is projected to grow at 15% per annum. Thus, competition for last-mile delivery is intense
with over 100 courier companies sharing the market.
Increasingly we are in competition with new-age tech-based industry players, namely the aggregators and resellers as well as foreign
players that are creating a deeper presence in Malaysia. Despite the competition, we are confident in our ability to leverage on our
strengths and meet this competitive environment. We continue to invest in building our digital capacity and automation capability,
which will result in enhanced efficiency and lower costs, enabling us to be more competitive in the market.

Pos Malaysia partners China’s STO Express for international courier services

Monday, August 5th, 2019 at , Business | News

It will help SMEs accelerate the growth of e-commerce in the country and contribute positively to the GDP, says Syed Md Najib

By TMR

POS Malaysia Bhd has entered into a collaboration with STO Express International Co Ltd, a China-based express business leader to jointly explore crossborder cooperation.

The cooperation will provide the businesses in the South-East Asia especially to the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the region, an end-to-end logistics platform with improved efficiency in international courier services at an affordable rate. This positions Malaysia as a gateway to the Asean region.

Pos Malaysia group CEO Syed Md Najib Syed Mohd Noor said both Pos Malaysia and STO Express International are leaders in the courier, express and parcel segment in their respective countries, so this tie-up will strengthen their positions through the exchange of best practices and technology in establishing an end-to-end logistics platform for SMEs, as well as individual consumers, thus providing a one-stop solution platform for international courier services.

“This will help SMEs accelerate the growth of e-commerce in the country and contribute positively to the GDP.

“Both parties will fully realise their common vision and goals in building a faster, stable, transparent, comprehensive and customised product and service offerings by cross leveraging their current infrastructures from logistics, warehousing and best practices in the South-East Asia. In time, the services will be offered to other countries including the US and Europe.

“This serves as a catalyst of business growth in the area of e-commerce and it will further propel SME businesses to expand in the South-East Asia market. In fact, it will be an excellent ground to promote Malaysian products into China and vice versa,” he said in a statement last Friday.

The project kick-off will include the integration of information technology system between both companies and the launch of the pilot delivery model plan by the middle of this month.

The next phase will be expanded into synergistic sharing of assets and new product development.

The aim is to provide SMEs and consumers with an enhanced customer experience through a seamless cross-border delivery services at an affordable price.

DRB was so confident, profit for POS once revised :) end of the year, next month, xmas gifts for All :0

DRB-HICOM, the parent company of Pos Malaysia, had in April said it was confident the latter would be back in the black once the government approves its proposed tariff increase on stamps.

The conglomerate’s group managing director Datuk Seri Syed Faisal Albar noted that the last time domestic postage cost were raised – to the current 60 sen – was about 10 years ago in 2010.

Prior to that, the cost of stamps remained at 30 sen from 1992, when the Postal Department was corporatised as Pos Malaysia.

“If you are a highway operator, you cannot survive. Any business can’t survive. After 2010, there was supposed to be a small increase every three years. But it has been nearly 10 years (without increment),” he said.

When the rate was increased in 2010, Pos Malaysia’s earnings improved noticeably and the postal group is hoping the government would approve another hike.

“If you are a highway operator, you cannot survive. Any business can’t survive. After 2010, there was supposed to be a small increase every three years. But it has been nearly 10 years (without increment),” he said.

When the rate was increased in 2010, Pos Malaysia’s earnings improved noticeably and the postal group is hoping the government would approve another hike.

Pos Malaysia to revise postage rates starting January 2020

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 — Pos Malaysia Bhd will have to revise its postage rates in tandem with the price increase by the Universal Postal Union (UPU) starting January 2020 to align its operation cost.

“Despite the challenges, Pos Malaysia will continue to serve the nation in providing postal services for all, leveraging on its vast delivery network coverage across the country,” it said in a note to Bernama today.

The UPU is a United Nations agency that coordinates postal policies among member nations, in addition to the worldwide postal system.

Recently, the United States (US) has threatened to pull out from the UPU as it complained that the system allowed China to pay heavily subsidised rates as the system was designed to help developing nations.

The country claimed that it was cheaper for companies in China to send outbound items to the US compared to items sent domestically within the US.

In late September, the UPU held an extraordinary congress in Geneva, which resulted in a compromise which allowed the US to remain as a member of the UPU while being given the flexibility to self-declare its own rates.

According to media reports, the US will raise prices for packages arriving from other countries, in exchange for a contribution into the UPU’s “voluntary fund,” which covers security and pensions.

Other countries can also adjust prices on US inbound packages next July and on packages from elsewhere by set amounts each year. — Bernama
