based on the internal agreement, ESSB plans to distribute 30% of its profit as a dividend, says Law, and this could start as early as 2025.
“Our capacity expansion will lead to multifold growth in ESSB’s revenue, with significant cost savings arising from the greater economies of scale. Hiap Teck looks forward to much greater contributions from ESSB in the immediate future,” he adds.

Law said from next year onwards, ESSB’s product focus will shift to the production of HRCs, which are widely used in downstream products such as CRCs, galvanised and pre-painted steel coils, welded steel pipes and tubes for industries such as manufacturing, automotive, electrical and electronics, oil and gas, and shipbuilding.
It is learnt that Malaysia’s demand for HRCs in 2022 was around two million tonnes, which was mainly met by imports that reached RM6 billion in value based on the current exchange rate.
Law said that ESSB aims to bridge the gap by producing 2.7 million tonnes of HRC a year.

Capitalisation rate, indicates the income a property asset is expected to generate versus how much it cost
Assuming a cap rate of 5.5%, KSL current investment properties generate more than RM 100m could therefore fetch RM2 billion, which represent 1.8 times its current market capitalisation,
Capitalising investment properties on the REIT investment theme is a huge catalyst for the company as KSL can park its properties investment income under tax rate 10% instead of company holding level at 25% tax rate on condition at least 90% income from REITS payout as dividends

Director deserve salary and entitle remuneration in line with increasing company growing net asset.
It is far better than award cheap share option or free share incentive to directors or discount private placements which are highly dilutive to EPS and at expense to minority shareholders interest.
As the long overdue esplanade mall and esplanade hotel, drag and delay 2 year due to covid have finally completed and operation now in Feb for hotel and mall open in May to generate another stream of investment properties income, shareholder can expect tailing end major capex, increasing free cash flow forward and resume dividend for fy 2023 and can expect bonus share anytime now.

KSL massive capex on KSL Esplanade mall and KSL esplanade hotel have over as mall and hotel both already completed and operation since May and fed 2023 respectively.
Therefore, aside normal yearly land replenishment to keep its total landbank siza at around 2500 acres, there is no major capex forward.
KSL now have huge reserve and in net cash position of 40sen/share. It is therefore normal for KSL to resume bank dividend policy these year and due to declare bonus share to capitalize on its huge reserve.
