Such Is Life: How Berjaya Food Berhad (KLSE:BJFOOD) Shareholders Saw Their Shares Drop 56% Simply Wall St 7 days ago
We think intelligent long term investing is the way to go. But that doesn’t mean long term investors can avoid big losses. Zooming in on an example, the Berjaya Food Berhad (KLSE:BJFOOD) share price dropped 56% in the last half decade. That’s an unpleasant experience for long term holders. Unhappily, the share price slid 2.2% in the last week.
There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. By comparing earnings per share (EPS) and share price changes over time, we can get a feel for how investor attitudes to a company have morphed over time.
Looking back five years, both Berjaya Food Berhad’s share price and EPS declined; the latter at a rate of 8.3% per year. Readers should note that the share price has fallen faster than the EPS, at a rate of 15% per year, over the period. So it seems the market was too confident about the business, in the past.
It’s probably worth noting that the CEO is paid less than the median at similar sized companies. But while CEO remuneration is always worth checking, the really important question is whether the company can grow earnings going forward. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on Berjaya Food Berhad’s earnings, revenue and cash flow.
What About Dividends? As well as measuring the share price return, investors should also consider the total shareholder return (TSR). The TSR incorporates the value of any spin-offs or discounted capital raisings, along with any dividends, based on the assumption that the dividends are reinvested. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. As it happens, Berjaya Food Berhad’s TSR for the last 5 years was -50%, which exceeds the share price return mentioned earlier. This is largely a result of its dividend payments!
A Different Perspective Berjaya Food Berhad’s TSR for the year was broadly in line with the market average, at 4.2%. To take a positive view, the gain is pleasing, and it sure beats annualized TSR loss of 13%, which was endured over half a decade. While ‘turnarounds seldom turn’ there are green shoots for Berjaya Food Berhad. Is Berjaya Food Berhad cheap compared to other companies?
We met with Bfood and came away feeling neutral about the group’s prospects going forward. As the meeting yielded no major surprises, we keep our forecasts unchanged. We keep our BUY call and TP of RM1.85 based on an unchanged 25x PE tagged to FY20 EPS of 7.4 sen. While we are optimistic on KRR business strategy of closing high rent locations in favour of small format stores, Bfood’s key value comes from the robust growth of Starbucks Malaysia, which we expect to continue to open 25-30 stores per annum.
We met with Bfood and came away feeling neutral about the group’s prospects going forward.
Starbuck’s GrabFood tie up to add volumes. Bfood shared that Starbucks has recently been made available for sale on GrabFood platform. With approximately 50 stores on the platform, this makes up is 1 in 6 operational Starbucks outlets, as Bfood currently has 300 operational Starbucks outlets. While we understand that orders generated through the platform have thinner margins than orders sold in store (as Grab takes a cut of up to 25% of the sale), we are positive on this venture as we estimate that this venture could add between 5-10% of sales volume for outlets listed on the platform.
KRR continues tweaking its business model. KRR will continue to close unprofitable large format stores and open small format outlets instead (Figure 1). Since the closure of KRR in Sky Avenue (Genting), Bfood have closed a further 3 unprofitable stores in 1Q20. In FY20, Bfood intends to open 10 more KRR outlets, with just 2 of those being regular format stores and the remaining 8 being small format ones. We note that small format store requires just a fifth of the capex requirements of regular store’s start-up cost given the smaller real estate required in addition to lower rent. This is due to small format store having minimal seating area as it focuses on take away transactions.
High effective tax rate to remain. We expect the group’s high effective tax rate of ~40% to remain for the foreseeable future. We understand that this is due to (i) a large chunk of the group’s interest cost being non-tax deductible as the borrowings are held at the holding company level (which was borrowed to fund the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake in Starbucks Malaysia operations); as well as (ii) much of the renovation costs for Starbucks outlets being non-tax deductible.
Outlook. We believe Bfood’s profitability will continue to be driven by the opening of 25-30 new Starbucks outlets annually. Despite posting wide EBIT losses of RM12.4m in 14MFY19, we expect KRR Malaysia to narrow this in FY20 as we understand the bulk of the losses stemmed from one-off expenses associated with the closure of non performing stores. Going forward, we expect Bfood to continue to roll our small format outlets (small real estate requirement and minimal seating space) which have been successful for the group in recent times.
Forecast. As the meeting yielded no surprise, we keep our forecasts unchanged.
Maintain BUY, TP: RM1.85. We keep our BUY call and TP of RM1.85 based on an unchanged 25x PE tagged to FY20 EPS of 7.4 sen. While we are optimistic on the KRR business strategy of closing high rent locations in favour of small format stores, Bfood’s key value comes from the robust growth of Starbucks Malaysia, which we expect to continue to open 25-30 stores per annum.

if interested in starbucks in malaysia, can only invest in bjfood? :)
Is Starbucks a franchise in Malaysia?
Yes, Starbucks in Malaysia is NOT a franchise. It's owned by Berjaya & Starbucks International. Well, unfortunately was informed that it only belongs to Berjaya group which is not open to public.
At Caring Pharmacy Group Bhd, a total of 18.67 million shares, or 8.58% of its share base, were transacted off market in direct deals at RM2.45 apiece between Dec 4 and 10.
Last month, 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Bhd announced its plans to acquire 55.2 million shares, or 25.35% equity interest, in Caring Pharmacy via its subsidiary Convenience Shopping (Sabah) Sdn Bhd, for RM2.60 per share or a total cash consideration of RM143.51 million.
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 30): The ringgit extended its upward momentum last week to open higher against the US dollar this morning, backed by positive sentiment for the local currency. AxiTrader chief Asia market strategist Stephen Innes said the ringgit's outlook remained positive as trade risk had abated with the United States (US)-China trade deal development. At 9am, the ringgit was traded at 4.1180/1230 versus the US dollar, compared with Friday's close of 4.1260/1290.
For Berjaya group of companies, only bjfood and bjtoto have dividend and analyst coverage, the rest is penny stock without dividend and analyst coverage. mau play VT punya stock, hanya bjtoto and bjfood adalah berbaloi :)
Malaysia THIS REPORT HAS BEEN PREPARED BY MAYBANK INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD SEE PAGE 6 FOR IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES AND ANALYST CERTIFICATIONS PP16832/01/2013 (031128) Note: FYE changed to June from April, from FY19 onwards (14 months in FY19) Jade Tam jade.tam@maybank-ib.com (603) 2297 8687
Berjaya Food (BFD MK) 1QFY20 results missed Maintain BUY; Expect sequential profit improvement 1Q20 core net profit missed our and consensus estimates on higher-thanexpected finance cost and MFRS16 adoption. We lower our FY20-FY22 earnings estimates by 8%-16% but expect sequentially better earnings from robust sales in BStarbucks given several upcoming festivities. Maintain BUY with 10% lower MYR1.80 TP (-20sen) pegged to unchanged 27x FY20 PER (-0.5SD to historical mean). Results below expectations Excluding a net one-off gain of MYR0.4m from a forex gain and writedown of PPE, BFD‟s 1QFY20 core net profit of MYR4m was below expectations reflecting only 14%/13% of our/consensus full-year earnings estimates. The shortfall was mainly due to higher-than-expected finance cost and BFD‟s adoption of MFRS16. BFD announced a first interim dividend of 1sen, as expected. This is the 1st quarter under BFD‟s revised FYE (June); no comparable YoY or QoQ data was provided (see Fig. 1). Slow start for BStarbucks With the absence of major holidays during 1QFY20, BStarbucks reported flat SSSG (FY19 SSSG: +3%), while Kenny Rogers Roasters (KRR) Malaysia and Singapore reported -2.0% and +1% SSSG, respectively. On outlet expansion, we understand that BStarbucks opened +12 new stores but closed 3 underperforming KRR Malaysia stores in 1QFY20. This brings total store count of BStarbucks to 303 stores and KRR Malaysia to 77 stores. Note that BFD adopted MFRS 16 in 1QFY20 where a „right-of-use approach‟ is required to be used by lessees to reflect the rights and obligations from lease contracts on their balance sheet. As a result, this adversely impacted BFD‟s 1QFY20 pre-tax profit by -MYR2.2m. Lowered FY20-FY22 earnings estimates by 8-16% Into FY20, bottomline should improve in sequential quarters driven by BStarbucks‟ (i) ongoing store expansion; and (ii) higher sales during the year-end holiday festivities in 2Q and Chinese New Year in 3Q. Our model has imputed for +25 new BStarbuck stores p.a. in FY20-FY22. Meanwhile, KRR Malaysia‟s earnings could continue to underperform given stiff competition in the near-term. Upon factoring the soft 1QFY20 results, we lower our FY20/FY21/22 earnings estimates by 16%/11%/8%
