HIAPTEK result in actual was boosted by unrealize forex gain RM 145m, which if without these gain will only record small profit only. Take note these unrealize forex gain is till end July which USD is still holding strong above RM 4.70.
Eastern steel currency gain may reverse to loss as USD have tumbling from RM 4.70 to RM 4.12 now
Heng sifu3, last time ESSB reported huge forex translation loss you said RM strengthen will reverse and reported profit back. How come this time RM strengthen will results in forex translation loss? What lar you, confuse3 me like Confucius...
Hiaptek result is almost due to ESSB UNREALISE foreign translation gain RM 147m (remark: these foreign translation gain is due to ESSB trading USD account which is at highest strength against RM during April-July period. As much as 87% of ESSB steel are export oriented, therefore, most of earning are USD denominated, only 17% is local sale in Msia. https://htgrp.com.my/corporate-presentation/
HLIB Research said the results had beat its expectations. The showing accounted for 114.5% of the research firm’s estimate, due mainly to a better-than-expected contribution from joint-venture firm Eastern Steel Sdn Bhd (ESSB).
Remark: Extreme bias HLB research to omit ESSB profit is mainly due to UNREALISE foreign translation gain RM 147m, which could reverse in next Q result due to significant weakness in USD currency.
Additionally, the scheduled completion of ESSB’s hot rolled coil plant – expected by the fourth quarter – will enhance the group’s product offerings in both domestic and export markets.
ESSB foreign translation gain RM 147m mean ESSB have big exposure in USD account during April-july period. These translation will become loss as USD exchange rate tumbling after July from RM 4.70 to RM 4.12 now. ESSB export 83% of its product in USD denominated
