MRCB sells Kia Peng land to Socso for RM323m
MARCH 19, 2018 @ 9:39PM BY NST BUSINESS
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB) is selling a piece of prime land along Jalan Kia Peng to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) for RM323 million.
The sale would see the company recording a profit of RM56 million.
The infrastructure-property company announced today that its unit Legasi Azam Sdn Bhd had inked a deal to sell the freehold land measuring 1.866 acres to Socso, also known as Pertubuhan Keselamatan Social (Perkeso).
MRCB said the net book value was RM269 million based on the audited accounts for the financial year ended December 31, 2016.
Its market value was RM323 million based on the valuation ascribed by IM Global Property Consultants on February 19, 2018. The original cost of investment was RM267 million, purchased on April 7, 2015.
“The proposed disposal is expected to realise an estimated after-tax gain of approximately RM30 million to the MRCB Group which is expected to improve MRCB Group’s consolidated earnings per share for the financial year ending December 31, 2018,” it said.
MRCB added the proceeds from the sale would be used for the group's working capital (including defraying expenses in connection with the proposed disposal) and property development activities within 12 months from receiving the purchase price.
I think mrcb is really undervalued... HSR has not even started. No financial impact yet on mrcb...
Now, HSR is just being delayed and not cancelled. It should return to around RM1 like before.
HSR postponed, not scrapped’ comes as a relief to construction companies Affin Hwang Capital

Construction sector Maintain neutral: The ongoing reviews of public-sector infrastructure projects have raised uncertainties over the status of ongoing and planned infrastructure projects. This has led to volatility in the share prices of construction stocks. Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project has been postponed, and not scrapped as stated previously, leading to a relief rally for impacted firms.
These developments indicate that the infrastructure spending cuts may not be as severe as initially portrayed in statements made by the new government previously. We believe part of the reason is due to costly cancellation clauses in government-to-government contracts signed for the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and the HSR. If the HSR is revived, companies involved such as Gamuda Bhd, Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd, YTL Corp Bhd and HSS Engineers Bhd are potential beneficiaries.
If construction of the ECRL project continues, Malaysian contractors pursuing subcontracts such as IJM Corp Bhd, WCT Holdings Bhd and Advancecon Holdings Bhd are potential beneficiaries. The cancellation risk for HSS’ ECRL contracts, worth about RM130 million (19% of its order book of RM673 million), is also reduced.
There was good investor interest in our recent macroeconomics/construction-sector outlook analyst meetings. We met up with 23 foreign institutional investor firms in Singapore and Hong Kong. Most investors were concerned about the short-term impact from the transition to a new government but acknowledged the good long-term prospects of a more transparent and efficient government.
We reiterate our “neutral” call on the construction sector due to potential delays in implementation of infrastructure projects and a reduction in government infrastructure spending. This will reduce the order book replenishment prospects of contractors. Our top buys are IJM (large-cap), Sunway Construction Group Bhd (mid-cap) and HSS (small-cap). — Affin Hwang Capital, June 14
Malaysian Resources Corporation (MRC MK) - 1Q18: Benefits From Deleveraging; Upgrade To BUY. Author: UOBKayHian | Publish date: Thu, 31 May 2018, 05:56 PM
1Q18 results are considered in line to meet full-year expectations as we expect substantially stronger quarters ahead. The huge sell-off (-43% since GE14, -51% ytd) reflects over-bearish sentiment on the impact of the new government’s belt tightening on mega projects, and ignores the deep value from the company’s strengthened balance sheet and ability to substantially enhance value in its partnership with substantial shareholder EPF. Upgrade to BUY but with a lower target price of RM1.01.
RESULTS Within expectations. While Malaysian Resources Corporation’s (MRCB) core net profit of RM22m (-48% qoq, +150% yoy) represents only 14.6% of our full-year forecast, we expect stronger earnings in the quarters ahead. The significant yoy profit improvement reflects lower finance costs (after rights issue) and the absence of EDL highway’s losses following the government direct non-tolling of EDL highway. Property development: Earnings within expectations. In 1Q18, the segment recorded revenue of RM220m (+11% qoq, -7% yoy) and EBIT of RM24m (-62% qoq, -50% yoy). Key earnings contributors to the segment were its Australian project and its ongoing highrise developments - 9 Seputeh and Sentral Residences. Construction: Margins to stabilise. The segment recorded revenue of RM191m (+5% qoq, -18% yoy) and EBIT of RM16m (-65% qoq, +>100% yoy). We expect EBIT margins to stabilise at the current 8.4% level. STOCK IMPACT Ability to complete disposal of EDL swiftly a key catalyst... Having followed the previous government’s instructions to stop tolling since the 2018 Budget was announced (in Oct 17), EDL’s balance sheet has further shrunk to have only sufficient cash to make one more interest payment of about RM40m to bondholders due in June. Hence, it is hoped that the new government would expedite the acquisition of EDL before the next biyearly interest payment. …even if government compensation implies modest ROE. Our SOTP valuation incorporates only an effective RM300m equity value for EDL, which is about the equity portion of the project’s start-up capital (the equity portion was funded mostly via shareholders’ advances). This valuation methodology is considered highly conservative as it assumes zero equity return, which is even more conservative than in a government expropriation scenario which entails compensating: a) bondholders the full principal plus coupon payments, and b) equity owners’ equity clawback plus returns. Modest-to-moderate reliance on mega projects. Despite investors’ misgivings, MRCB’s valuation is not overly dependent on federal government projects, and in fact, the federal government accounts for 11% of the group’s construction orderbook post completion (expected mid-18) of the Bukit Jalil property development sale to EPF. Moreover, the company does not expect any changes to federal government projects that have already commenced, including the LRT3 extension (currently 10% completed) which the MRCB-George Kent consortium is the appointed project manager (PDP). Construction orderbook to swell from RM6b as of 1Q18, or 3.4x 2017 construction revenue. To-date, the group has RM6.2m worth of gross orderbook on hand, which will swell to RM17.2b after it completes the sale of the Bukit Jalil property development project to EPF. Long-dated projects like Kwasa Land and Bukit Jalil (20 years) ensure continuity of healthy contract flows even after the federal government turns off the tap on new mega projects. Strengthening balance sheet. MRCB’s gearing is expected to drop significantly from the current 58% to as low as 10% should its asset monetisation programme be fully carried out (see RHS table). EARNINGS REVISION/RISK None. Key risks include: a) the derailment of the planned sale of EDL to the federal government, and b) changes to its PDP role for LRT3. VALUATION/RECOMMENDATION Upgrade to BUY with a lower target price of RM1.01 (from RM1.10) after we cut our SOTP valuation to RM5.5b as our previous assumption of its EDL highway had been overly bullish. Our target price is based on a 20% discount to our SOTP valuation of RM1.26/share, implying 24.3x 2019F PE.
SHARE PRICE CATALYST a) Sale of EDL, b) sale completion of Bukit Jalil Project, and c) various asset monetization programmes.
MRCB: Only 23% of Construction Orderbook Is From the Government Author: kltrader | Publish date: Tue, 22 May 2018, 10:03 AM
Malaysian Resources Corp Bhd (MRCB) sees its business operations as sustainable going forward, despite the potential impact of Pakatan Harapan’s pledges to review certain mega infrastructure projects. Executive director Mohd Imran Mohd Salim said that MRCB has no exposure to the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) and that there is no financial impact from the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail (HSR) project as the project has not started.
Ongoing Projects In an article on The Star (22 May), further according to Imran at the company’s Annual General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting yesterday, MRCB has been implementing “prudent and sustainable approaches” over the years and has a number of ongoing projects that will bolster the company’s earnings. He said that Pakatan Harapan’s victory would not have an impact on MRCB’s ongoing projects as the nature of MRCB’s developments is that they are transit-orientated developments (TODs). Imran added that the company is not just looking into housing developments, and that they are looking into integrated developments.
Imran said that MRCB was excluded from most of Malaysia’s mega-infrastructure projects (which have since been under question following the win of the Pakatan Harapan coalition), and emphasized that MRCB has no exposure to the ECRL and never participated in the mass rapid transit line 3 project. The only project that MRCB is a part of is the HSR, but the review of this project will have no financial impact to MRCB as the project has not started.
MRCB’s chief corporate officer Amarjit Chhina added that only 23% of their construction orderbook is from the government.
Working Toward Sustainability Amarjit said that MRCB has gone beyond being a “single-project” company. Where previously there was a question of sustainability, MRCB has been working on reducing concentration risk; it currently has projects with a gross development value of RM57 bil; on the property side, 80% comprise TODs; its construction business has also been registering good growth over the years.
The company said that the proposed disposal of the Eastern Dispersal Link (EDL), which they hope to conclude by year-end, would help reduce the company’s gearing further. MRCB posted a net profit of RM167.6 mil for the financial year 2017, as revenue climbed to RM2.82 bil. Amarjit said that the company’s financials are “in great shape”.
“We have no exposure to the East Coast Rail Link and we never participated in the mass rapid transit line 3 project. The only project we are a part of is the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore high-speed rail. However, there is no impact financially because the project has not started.”
