Hope so

At this price, probably very few holders will subscribe to the RI, Malacca Securities will take up the unsubscribed portion ......

GROUP'S PROSPECT
a) Secured Order Book
As at 22 May 2023, the Group's total outstanding secured order book in hand for the construction and cranes division is RM1,709 million.

b) Prospect
The group had secured several oil & gas and building construction projects of total RM611 million over the last six months period.

Global oil & gas prices has recovered over last 2 years and hence the oil and gas investment is expected to move in an upward trend, including investments that reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of natural gas and its related infrastructure.

As such, there will be higher demand for offshore platform structures, offshore cranes, automation of offshore
platforms systems and offshore support vessels from global market, which are the core businesses of Muhibbah Group's Construction, Cranes, Intelligent Automation and Shipyard Divisions respectively.

With the China boarder re-opening in January 2023, this has positive impact on airport traffic flow as compared to corresponding period last year. The airports concession is expected to have better performance as well.

COMPARISON WITH PRECEDING QUARTER RESULTS (Q1 2023 vs. Q4 2022)
The Group reported lower consolidated revenue (including share of associates' revenue) of RM278.2 million as compared to RM343.2 million in the preceding quarter mainly due to lower revenue from Cranes mitigated by higher sales from Infrastructure Construction division and Concession division in the current quarter.

This quarter reported higher profit before tax of RM12.8 million as compared to RM10.5 million in the preceding quarter mainly contributed by Concession division and also better performance from Infrastructure Construction division with commencement work for new projects secured.

REVIEW OF GROUP PERFORMANCE (YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022)
The Group reported higher consolidated revenue (including share of associates' revenue) of RM278.2 million with higher profit before tax of RM12.8 million for the financial period ended 31 March 2023 as compared to consolidated revenue (including share of associates' revenue) of RM219.2 million and profit before tax of RM1.3 million respectively for the corresponding year ended 31 March 2022.

The improvement is mainly contributed by Concession division with the increase in airport passengers following China boarder reopening in January 2023 and better performance from Cranes division.

Ha Ha！

Thank hng for the news

Listing twice on KLSE and every time makes Malaysia investors lose like heck ！！
very clever Koreans

1Q23
The Group reported operating loss in current quarter as compared to operating profit a year earlier. Loss before tax of the Group was RM2.05 million, versus profit of RM9.66 million recorded in the prior year period while loss after tax of the Group was RM1.22 million, compared to profit of RM7.40 million in the prior year period.

Prospects for the remaining period of current financial year
RVIA reports wholesale shipments remain low compared to 2022, though the volume is starting to rebound. Production of RV was at record high levels in the beginning of the year 2022, so volume feel even lower than what they are in relation to historical trend. However, our US customers have started placing orders although the order volume is still low as compared to a year earlier. Price of plywood had declined much compared to its peak in previous year but it seems that bottom had been found in the first quarter of the year 2023.

worsen ... revenue shrunk, lost more .....

Price pressed down for PP issuance?

Going to announce another 11sen div /cap repayment soon ......

From the market reaction to the huge loss, can see that how powerful the manipulators are ...... I guess the foreign funds /IBs

Definitely not good news for plantation stocks

Revenue / Earning retraces substantially ......

The Group recorded revenue and net profit from continuing operations of RM354.047 million and RM9.898 million respectively for the current quarter ended 31 March 2023, representing a reduction of 16.6% and 80.7% respectively as compared to the revenue and net profit of RM424.445 million and RM51.180 million achieved in the same quarter a year ago. The decrease in revenue and net profit was primarily attributable to lower sales volume in line with softer market conditions.

Fair value loss of RM8.0 million was recognised post acquisition of Queensbay Mall as the capitalised investment property and incidental costs exceeded the independent external valuation of RM1 billion. The fair value loss represents the write-off on a portion of incidental costs incurred.

Finance costs for 1Q 2023 of RM14.0 million was higher than 1Q 2022 as the Group’s borrowings have increased by RM763.3 million to part finance the acquisition of Queensbay Mall. Additionally, floating rate borrowings were subjected to higher interest costs after several Overnight Policy Rate hikes totalling 100 basis points over the past one year. The average cost of debt was 3.58% p.a. for this quarter against 1Q 2022’s 3.06% p.a.

Overall, distributable income to Unitholders for 1Q 2023 was RM19.8 million, a slight decline of RM0.6 million or 3.1% compared to 1Q 2022 due to the abovementioned factors.

Many are losing now ..... some are still rational, but some are in emotional, if they are not over react, people will not tease them.....

u lose a lot? until can't take objective narration?

only 11sen, very disappointed

Seaports& Logistics - Global Trade Hit by Slowdown and Regulations

We maintain our NEUTRAL call on the sector. Amid the global economic uncertainty, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) projects the global merchandise trade volume to only inch up by 1% in CY23, down sharply from a 3.5% expansion in CY22. This does not augur well for seaport operators like WPRTS (MP; TP: RM3.65). Additionally, stricter regulations on carbon emissions may pose new challenges to global trade. However, we see a bright spot in the domestic logistics sector as: (i) it is driven internally and less directly exposed to external headwinds, and (ii) it is a beneficiary of the booming e-commerce. Our sector top picks are BIPORT (OP; TP: RM6.00) and SWIFT (OP; TP: RM1.00).
。
。
SWIFT for: (i) its leading position in the Malaysian haulage business commanding close to 10% market share, (ii) its value-adding integrated offerings resulting in a superb pre-tax profit margin of 10% compared to industry average of 4%, and (iii) the tremendous growth potential of its warehousing business, riding on the booming domestic e-commerce.

Next support level ?

The Group’s revenue of RM39.8 million for Q2FY2023 and RM78.7 million for the 1HFY2023 decreased by 42.2% and 38.2% respectively compared with the corresponding period last financial year. The decrease in revenue of Q2FY2023 was mainly attributed to the decrease in the volume sold. The revenue of the previous corresponding periods (September 2021 to February 2022) were exceptionally high as the Group enjoyed a spike in top line production after temporarily stop work which started from 1 June 2021 until mid of Sept 2021 during Movement Control Order 3.0 (“MCO 3.0”).

The Group’s PBT of RM6.869 million for Q2FY2023 and RM15.277 million for the 1HFY2023 decreased by 50.4% and 38.4% respectively compared with the corresponding period last financial year. This was mainly attributed to the decrease of revenue as a result of decrease in volume sold.

We maintain our OVERWEIGHT call with our focus still on the retailers. Despite sustained high inflation, we expect consumer spending to stay resilient in the absence of any immediate plan by the government to rationalise subsidies or reintroduce the GST, while the B40 group continues to benefit from various financial assistance programmes especially direct cash handouts. Also helping, are a relatively stable economy and a healthy job market, coupled with a strong household balance sheet of the M40 group. Our sector top picks are AEON (OP; TP: RM1.80), PADINI (OP; TP: RM6.00) and QL (OP: TP: RM6.66)

Today movement is puzzled

On behalf of the Board, Malacca Securities wishes to announce that the disposal of 20,000,000 ordinary shares in Seng Yip Furniture, representing 100% equity interest in Seng Yip Furniture by SYF to Mieco for a total disposal consideration of RM50.0 million has been completed on 14 March 2023.

This announcement is dated 14 March 2023.

16. Prospects
The Group’s business operations environment remains challenging and volatile. Although the prices of raw materials and shipping costs remain relatively high but slowly trending downward, the foreign exchange rate of the United States Dollar versus Ringgit Malaysia reversed to trending upwards.

The increase in electricity and gas tariffs since 1 January 2023 has become major cost component in the current financial quarter and beyond. Coupled with higher cost of borrowing, the Group has incurred higher loss in the current quarter. While the demand for tissue paper and personal care products remain stable in the shorter term, competition is intensive in our export market. The Board will continue to be resilient in the changing business environment, control production costs and seize new customers to efficiently utilise its installed production capacity.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, it aims to achieve operationally about break-even in the coming quarter.

Foreign exchange (gain)/ loss (1,300) ; (296); 6,290; (6,413)

Group revenue for Q3FY2023 was RM215.7 million, an increase of 3.0% as compared to RM209.5 million for Q3FY2022. The increase was due to the increase in sales of tissue paper products.

The Group recorded a loss before tax of RM6.2 million for Q3FY2023, a decrease of 158.8% over a profit of RM10.5 million registered in Q3FY2022. Higher costs for raw materials, distribution, operating utilities such as electricity and gas and the weakening of Ringgit Malaysia against US Dollars had a negative impact on the margin. Besides, higher interest expenses and administrative expenses have further widened the gap in the quarter-to-quarter financial performance.

Like to be in bondage ..... finally sinks faster than it master US, let;s see hoe this develops .....

Hope it is not confined to Crypto firm Circle but also other fields .......

Although gave higher valuation to the asset, all looking good .... but the only thing that material to shareholders is, stripped 21 sen from them.

The 21 sen keep within the co. is good? who knows?

Variations to original proposal, among others, Proposed special dividend cum capital repayment of RM1.1098 reduced to RM0.90 per share.

WA expires on 09Nov this year end, if they keep the price above 1.50 (at least at that time), there would be conversion that could bring in >80m ..... otherwise WA would be ended as waste paper and they get nothing ;D
