cannot even make 1 sen eps. ALP fat salary and incentive and LSS4 has made number of shares issued ballooned to over 2 billion. How much LSS4 profit can be? RM 10 million per year with capital of RM 200 million ?
The lower profit was mainly due to lower share of profit in the Vietnam joint venture of RM28.3 million as compared to RM33.9 million recorded in the first quarter of the preceding year as the joint venture had incurred higher interest expenses, in view of rising interest rates.
Quarter ended March 2023 RM'000 Other Operating, Administrative Expenses: (14,875) Finance cost: (5,723)
With local business continues bleeding. Aseng can kiss goodbye to his TP.
At least local loss making construction work have reach tail end, by just eliminate these loss making business will boost up jaks profit forward. Additional profit from 50MW solar power by next month will also contribute higher profit to jaks forward.
After 2 year Vietnam power operation, Jaks investment in 30% stake in JV have increase from RM 610m to RM 820m, mainly due to 2 year of share of profit about RM 280m (2021: RM 135m and 2022: RM 146m). Jaks have opt to receive first dividend payout RM 71m from share profit last year, therefore, the balance share of profit retain in JV investment is about RM 190m.
Jaks have another 1 year due to opt to subscribe additional 10% to up its share of profit from 30% to 40%. The cost to increase 10% is RM 200m. Therefore, Jaks no need to raise additional cash to subcribe these 10% portion as jaks retain profit in JV about RM 190m is sufficient enough to self feed its top up 10% equity, boots up its share to 40% now.
The IPP is now Paper profit without solid cash dividend. Looking at the local biz, company still need some time to stop the bleeding, especially Mall & the property div, Empty mall and keep burning cash flow of RM10 to 20 mil per Q, the high admin and interest expenses don't seem to stop so fast. With current PP of RM24 mil which can last for another Qs. From the past years, the company is living on fresh cash, PP, borrowing and RI. Wondering how much the 50 MW cash flow can help the company to subsidy the local loses and high admin cost. Expexting another PP or RI in the near future? or waiting the IPP to declare more div coming year end...?
IPP is NOT paper profit, but is real profit as shown by Jaks last Q4 2022 result which indicate RM 71m dividend payout from JV power plant. Bear in mind, RM 71m payout is 25% retain profit payout after 2 year operation. The balance cash profit in JV still have about RM 190m, which is sufficient to capitalize for additional 10% equity funding which require RM 200m to subcribe
Please do some home work by calculating Jaks JV assest since COD 2 year ago, which show the JV assest have increase from RM 610m to current latest RM 829m after nett off RM 71m dividend payout
So moving forward more tender jobs and more losses.
Moving forward, the construction segment will focus onto the completion of outstanding orderbook of c.RM200.0m. We gather that the tenderbook remains healthy at RM2.00bn, mainly for hospital-related and water-related infrastructure jobs in relation to flood mitigation projects. We have imputed an orderbook replenishment assumption of RM50.0m for FY23f
Why cannot??? every quarter jaks record share of profit from JV and these profit is accumulating under its JV assest. Since COD, jaks JV asset already increase by more than RM 200m from RM 610m to RM 830m which is correspond to jaks share of profit in 2021 RM 135m and 2022 ( RM 145m), nett of dividend payout RM 71m back to Malaysia.
The reason Jaks cannot opt to cash out all its retain profit from JV is to working to subcribe additional its 10% equity stake in JV.
Vietnam power plant is operating positive cash flow, in which is aim to declare maximum all profit to JV. Jaks is free to cash out from its profit in JV anytime if wan after meet minimum reserve cash buffer in JV.
Under Jaks JV assest, RM 610m back by its 30% equity stake in power plant assets in JV, another RM 220m in JV is jaks retain profit accumulating more than 2 year operation. Therefore, Jaks can use its retain profit to subscribe its option to top up additional 10% equity stake now.
I do not have any share in Jaks. I believe I know the information correctly. It is true that Jaks can use the interest to buy up another 10% of the power plant. This information is in the agreement. Thank you.
Recent private placement should raise fund RM 22m, at least meet 2 quarter cash flow needed. Next month when 50MW reach COD, should give some positive cash flow to jaks. Within next 2 quarter, jaks should meet milestone to increase stake to 40% after put aside some reserve cash in JV.
Thereafter, jaks should start record positive cash flow onward through quarterly cash dividend declaration.
SHAREHOLDERS’ QUESTIONS EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF THE COMPANY Date : 3 March 2023, Friday Time : 3:00pm Location : Tricor Leadership Room, Unit 32-01, Level 32, Tower A, Vertical Business Suite, Avenue 3, Bangsar South, No. 8, Jalan Kerinchi, 59200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia No. Queries Responses
1 Has JAKS received dividend from its’ joint venture entity, JAKS Hai Duong Power Co Limited (“JHDP”)? A total of RM70.12 million of dividend has been remitted to JAKS for year 2022. Please refer to the cashflow statement in our quarterly result for 31 December 2022.
2 What is the status of the subscription of additional 10% stake in JHDP? We are in the process of negotiating with financial institutions on the 10% option subscription JHDP. Any decisions made in regards to the exercise will take into account the interest rate climate and financing terms which are favourable to us. Any material updates on the matter will be announced.
Jaks still have about 6 to 9 month meet dateline to subscribe 10% additional stake. If JV need higher reserve cash as buffer in power plant, then, jaks cannot use all its retain profit in JV to use for subscription for 10% stake now.
However, any short fall of RM 200m is rather limited due to strong cash flow in JV every quarter. A fraction or even half of requirement fund to subcribe equity can easily source from short term banking bridge loan
