• PAT from Malaysian Operations in 4Q 2022 was RM96.7 million.
• FY2022 PAT from Malaysian Operations of RM281.3 million is the Group’s highest ever PAT.
• The higher WACC contributed to the larger impairment of RM81.0 million recognised by EcoWorld Malaysia in 4Q 2022 (which does not involve a cash outflow) on its investment in EcoWorld International.
• Arising from the impairment of investment and higher share of loss in EcoWorld International, EcoWorld Malaysia recorded a PAT of RM1.8 million in 4Q 2022.
• Notwithstanding the share of EcoWorld International’s losses and the RM81.0 million impairment recognised in 4Q 2022, EcoWorld Malaysia remained profitable in FY2022 with RM157.2 million PAT achieved due to record high PAT of its Malaysian operations.

HOC 2.0 is on the way.

"The National Housing Department DG Datuk Jayaselan Navaratnam said the extension of the Home Ownership Campaign (HOC) is currently pending on the government’s approval.

“We are hoping that the additional 10% discount under the HOC will be available for this carnival and would cushion the rising interest rate and inflationary pressures to provide affordable prices for the people,” Navaratnam told reporters in the same press conference.

Ireka, Japan's Hankyu Hanshin in RM400m property project in Nilai

KUALA LUMPUR: Ireka Corporation Bhd is teaming up with Japan's Hankyu Hanshin Properties Corp to undertake the Rimbun Kasia property development in Nilai with a GDV of over RM400mil.

Ireka said on Monday it had entered into agreements with Osaka-based Hankyu Hanshin – a unit of Hankyu Hanshin Holdings, Inc. Ireka will hold a 55% stake in the JV company Meadowfield Sdn Bhd while Hankyu Hanshin will hold the other 45%.

The Rimbun Kasia development is a new residential enclave covering five parcels of a residential project, and one parcel of commercial project, over a 30.56-acre piece of land located in the town of Nilai.

Initially, the JV will develop the Dwi@Rimbun Kasia project, consisting of 382 residential units in a nine-storey block, and another parcel of land which will have 465 residential units in two blocks of 29 and 19-storeys.

“These projects will have a combined GDV of over RM400mil. The remaining land parcels at Rimbun Kasia shall be developed by Meadowfield at subsequent stages following the launch of the first two developments.

“These properties will be developed under the ZenZ brand, the sister brand to Ireka’s iconic i-ZEN brand, and also leveraging off Hankyu Hanshin’s highly successful Geo brand of properties,” it said.

Ireka group managing director, Datuk Lai Voon Hon stated: “I look forward to the joint venture with Hankyu Hanshin because it will enhance the Rimbun Kasia development, leveraging on their vast experience in the affordable housing sector, track record and financial strength.

“This is very exciting for us because the collaboration will also provide a strong foundation and a competitive advantage to the Rimbun Kasia development. I am very proud that Hankyu Hanshin has selected Ireka to be their development partner as they seek to expand their operations in Malaysia. The Rimbun Kasia development will be their first project in Malaysia.”

中国中车撑腰
毅成-WB明年(2018年)有看头/温世麟

2017年12月10日

毅成(IREKA,8834,主板建筑股)在上周一宣布,中国中车集团旗下中车城市交通(欧洲)有限公司,将通过私下配售成为持有公司股权8.5%的大股东之一。

该公司母股在消息出炉后稳步上涨,最高在上周四升至68仙。不过,该股在上周五调整至65仙结束上周交易。该公司凭单毅成WB(IREKA-WB)则以12.5仙收市。

中国中车是是全球规模最大、品种最全、技术领先的轨道交通装备供应商。

2019财年料唱丰收

该集团也是财富全球500强企业。这次入股毅成并和后者组织联营公司,是要在本区域交通基建项目分一杯羹。

毅成在11月底宣布的2018财年首半年(截至2017年9月30日),营业额增长15%至1亿4348万令吉,并获得401万令吉的净利。

毅成的盈利很受旗下英国上市的联号公司ASEANA产业影响。

ASEANA产业旗下如玛酒店(The Ruma)预料在2018年次季开张营业,这将为ASEANA产业带来过亿令吉的盈利,同时,直接持有如玛酒店30%的毅成,将在2019财年大唱丰收。

母股潜力不容小觑

毅成WB目前的估价虽高,但其母股在未来一年的上升潜力不容忽视。

有了中车集团这样的大股东在背后撑腰,毅成有望参与我国基建建筑项目如东海岸铁路以及隆新高铁,该公司凭单也就有望成为马股未来一年的黑马。

CRRC UT, STO EXPRESS AND IREKA ESTABLISH FORMAL WORKING RELATIONSHIP FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

KUALA LUMPUR, 24 January 2018 – Ireka Corporation Berhad (“Ireka”), CRRC Urban Traffic Co Ltd (CRRC UT) and STO Express Co Ltd (STO) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to establish collaborative working between them.

CRRC UT is a member of the China based CRRC Group and is the world’s largest manufacturer of rolling stock, rail and transportation related products and systems. On December 4, 2017, CRRC UT also took up a strategic stake in Ireka, emerging as a substantial shareholder, holding approximately an 8.48% equity interest in the Company. At the same time a complementary MOU was signed with Ireka to exclusively
pursue, among others, urban transportation and logistics business areas.

STO is China’s largest integrated logistics services company, focusing on express delivery of courier items.

The MOU signed today between Ireka, CRRC UT and STO establishes a formal and exclusive working relationship to cover the Logistics business area focusing on:

- Investment and development of logistics warehouses, distribution centres and other ancillary real estate facilities to support STO’s business expansion in Malaysia and South East Asia; and

- Investment and supply of infrastructure and equipment including logistics, commercial and special purpose vehicles to support STO’s business expansion in Malaysia and South East Asia.

STO has vast experience of supporting the exponential growth of e-commerce business in China over the last decade. STO’s expansion to the fast-growing South East Asia region is part of its continual growth plans in international markets. In March 2017, Malaysia launched its Digital Free Trade Zone (DFTZ), (the world’s first outside of China) where it will support internet companies to trade goods, provide services and cocreate solutions. It is also anticipated to create 60,000 jobs in the country by 2025. Ireka and CRRC UT will be STO’s exclusive partner in developing a strong support infrastructure for STO’s operations, both in terms of real estate, as well as in logistics and transport vehicles

For CRRC, a giant in the world’s railway transportation industry, they already have a presence in Malaysia and is an active player in the country’s rail industry through its supply of contracts for the LRT System, Express Rail Link and KTM Komuter. In its collaboration with Ireka, CRRC UT will be bringing the best of China’s green urban
transportation technology to Malaysia to improve the latter’s urban traffic. This includes super-capacitor powered electric buses and the Autonomous-Rail Rapid Transit (ART) vehicles. The ART is a first of its kind people-mover that integrates the best of a conventional tram technology with that of a leading edge rail-less and autonomous
driving technologies (see pictures). ART, already in operation in Zhuzhou, Hunan Province, China, and soon in other parts of China will also hopefully be on the roads of Malaysia in the near future. The partnership with CRRC UT will see Ireka venturing into a new business direction of urban transportation which is in line with Malaysia’s
Economic Transformation Programme, to upgrade the country’s public transportation and infrastructure system.

The partnership of Ireka, CRRC UT and STO will create a strong strategic alliance that provides an important platform for this tri-partite relationship to leverage on each other's technical knowledge, expertise and experience for expansion and growth in Malaysia and South East Asia.

Commenting on the partnership, Ireka’s Group Managing Director, Datuk Lai Voon Hon said, “Ireka has a good track record of delivering what we have agreed to do and also in diversifying our operations. Over the last 50 years, we have successfully diversified and expanded from being in construction, to property development to real estate and to
information technology. We are excited about diversifying into urban traffic solutions and rail infrastructure related projects; as well as into the world of logistics. I know that Ireka is ideally positioned to take on this new challenge because of our long track record and I
am delighted that both CRRC and STO have selected us as a trusted partner to grow their presence in Malaysia and South East Asia.”

It provides a platform for both parties to leverage on each other's technical knowledge, expertise and experience for expansion and growth in these four areas. Ireka’s Board is confident that the investment from this joint venture will provide the ideal opportunity to diversify into a number of exciting new areas, in particular, urban traffic solutions and rail infrastructure related projects.

The partnership with CRRC UT will see Ireka venturing into a new business direction that is in line with Malaysia’s Economic Transformation Programme, to upgrade the country’s public transportation and infrastructure system with the aim to increase modal share of public transport to 40% by 2030. Ireka envisages this partnership with CRRC UT to provide urban traffic solutions to develop efficient integrated public transport systems will contribute positively to this goal.

A giant for the railway transportation industry in the world, the CRRC Group already has a presence in Malaysia and is an active player in the country’s rail industry through its supply of contracts for the LRT System, Express Rail Link and KTM Komuter. Ireka is ideally positioned to take on this new challenge because it has a fifty year track record in building a number of major national infrastructure projects. Ireka played a significant part in the construction of notable projects like the North-South Highways, KLIA International Airport, Cheras-Kajang Highway and the most recent MRT1 Package V7.

Commenting on the partnership, Ireka’s Group Managing Director, Datuk Lai Voon Hon said, “We are particularly pleased to welcome CRRC UT as our new strategic shareholder in the Company. The stake that CRRC UT has invested in Ireka and the upcoming joint venture is another great step forward for our Company’s growth. I am also proud that CRRC UT has selected Ireka as a trusted partner to grow their presence in Malaysia and South East Asia; and we are delighted to have a financially strong partner in the world’s largest manufacturer of rail rolling stock and urban transportation products. There is no doubt that CRRC’s technical know-how and our wide business network accumulated over the last 50 years will complement each other well. We will now begin working earnestly on our partnership plans to explore exciting business opportunities.”

There are some reasons why the share price has been on pressure but there's an important one. The main issue for the depressed share price is the uncertainty of the leader. There has been speculation that Dr.Yeoh will quit the job as CEO. Although the company already clarified that Dr.Yeoh will stay but the market still speculate that he will leave soon. The departure of Dr.Yeoh will incur some uncertainties. Investing is about looking at the future. How can the share price move up if this is how its future looks like? Although I believe the company can still do well without Dr.Yeoh, I think the other vivo's supporters here think the same. It should not affect the long term prospect of the company. But this kind of uncertainties has negative impact on the share price in short term. Nobody can clarify the issue except Dr.Yeoh himself. We haven't seen Dr.Yeoh for some time. I think for the sake of shareholders Dr.Yeoh should come out and say something.

If we are investing for long term, there shouldn't be too much to worry about. This company won't go into trouble because based on its current orderbook, even deducting those HOAs, it can still make profit for the next two years. The problem is its large share base resulting in less eps. But who says the company cannot secure any more contracts next year? I think its strategic partnership with CRCC and Zhonghe Huaxing is a huge advantage that differentiate it from other construction companies.

Vivocom helped solving others problems including KLIA2 Airport Project and turning around other problematic projects. When you help solving problems, you won't cause problem for yourself. Also if you can solve problems, many people want to seek for your help. That's why Vivocom can secure many contracts. But the company is not financially strong enough yet, so they must check the background of every company they deal with before taking a project to avoid delayed payment. Taking government projects is good because government always pay on time. Even without CRCC they can obtain many contracts. But since they are CRCC's Project Delivery Partner so any subcontract from CRCC will be an added value to them.
