Taann has the best of 2 worlds: CPO is so robust, timber / plywood price is very high too!
Forecast earnings will exceed $1 per share should CPO and timber price hold steady for 2-3 qtrs .

Important to consider if the Management is consistently paying reasonable cash dividend from the cash hoarding . If they don't, minorities will not get to enjoy it and the share will remain undervalued for a long time.
( DY yiled of 4-5% is deemed reasonable to me ).

Ya, don't rule out special dividend in view of expected robust Q1 2022 results and 15sen/share capital gain from Kulai estate land which is already in pocket.

The 4th qtr result also affected by the much higher Cost of sales by $49mil. Don't quite understand why ?
Finance cost increase by 12mil due to drawdown of $300 mil sukuk since 2nd qtr and incurring additional interest.
Cash is 260 mil .Why is there need to standby such much cash thru borrowing since 2nd qtr 2021 ? Up to everyone to make speculate.

Why is the change of accounting treatment in Q4? UPto everyone to make intelligent guess.

Stock

2022-02-22 21:37 | Report Abuse

what Calvin elaborated is correct. THplant's Q4 2021 result is indeed very good if there is no -ve $56.6mil fair value change in biological assets.
In Q4 2021, the company decide to CHANGE THE ACCOUNTING TREATMENT in fair value accrual on biologically asset ( ie immature FFB on the trees). Prior to Q4 2021, the company made accrual for immature FFB upto 3 months before harvesting. Now the company decide to only accrual for immature FFB that are ready to be harvested in 1 month only. This has resulted reversal of all the previous qtrs accruals.
In Q4 2021, there is +ve $7.5 mil of fair value change for the forestry segment was recognised . -ve $64.1 mil (reversal) in fair value change for Oil palm segment. Overall change is therefeore -ve 56.6 mil (+7.5 -
64.1mil).

The accounting change is one off thing and has no impact to future qtr result.
If we add back the fair value change reversal for oil palm of -ve $64.10 mil, PBT Q4 2021 would be 11.2+ 64.1 = 75.30 mil which in fact very impressive.

Average realized CPO selling price for Q4 is $4,508 which is in fact better than many big guys.

Receive good amount of cash dividend from the company’s profit is definitely different from selling your own share to pay yourself. Already, the current share + the total cash dividend received in the past 2 years for the 2 companies already tell you the difference. Bear in mind that the huge freehold development land bank of Bplant in west Malaysia is something Jtiasa can not match.
I share my honest view between the two. Choice is absolutely yours .

No need to expect CPO keep going up. Plantations will make a new record amount of profit even if average price of $5,000 is achieved for 2022. Let's be realistic and don't over react to the day-to-day or week-to-week CPO price movement.

Overall, excellent performance!
Q4 2021 PBT of about $137 mil comes in line with my estimate, However, PAT is a bit lower than my expectation due to higher tax.
By comparision, PAT Q4 2021 is 3.26 times higher or 226% increase YOY. Full year PAT is 5.62 times higher or 462% increase YOY. You can't complain , can you?
4th Interim dividend of 4 sen surprised me and total dividend adds up to 8.35sen
DY is 8.9% based on today's closing .
Dividend payout is therefore 78%, deem very generous like before.
PE is 8.7x deem very cheap in view of high DY. Should fetch PE of 15X.
Net cash generated from operations during 2021 is $441 mil, $240 mil used to repay loans, balance used to pay dividend, interest and finance current assets.
CPO price realised for Q4 2021 was $5,044 and FY 2021 is $4,341 which are excellent.
The contribution of disposal gain and cashflow from Kulai land disposal is not in 2021 account except 43 mi deposit is taken in.

FY2022 is expected to be even much better. Cheers!

Some asked whether Taann or Swkplant is better buy . Both essential under same leadership. I think we can't judge from share price per se.
Taann estimated EPS 2021 is 75sen. Based on last traded price of $4.68, PE is 6.24x
Swkplt estimated EPS 2021 is 51sen. Based on last traded price of $2.98, PE is 5.84X
Technically, Swkplt is deemed slightly "cheaper".
But, that's not all how we value the stocks.
Dividend yield of Taann seem higher and Taann is more than double in FFB production. Theredore, Taann should command fair amount of share price premium.
Both are still very undervalued even with some price run up last 2 weeks.
I think the long term fair value for both should be 15- 20 times PE which has been the case in the past 10 years.
At 15x PE , Taann fetches $11.25 and Swkplt fetches $7.65
Just my view for sharing
