A big portion of the company’s profit is actually distributed to the non-controlling interest of its subsidiaries. Even when the company managed to deliver a PAT of RM 19.4mil in FY18, shareholders of Bina Puri ends up with only a profit of RM500k.
This is due to the fact that most of its profitable ventures (in property development) are in subsidiaries where the company holds less than 60% interest. For the property development projects, most of it is park under Aksi Bina Puri Sdn Bhd a 60% subsidiary of Bina Puri. In addition to that, most of the development projects are based on JV’s. For example, Sumbangan Lagenda and Karak Land are profitable subsidiaries that are involved in property development projects. Both of these subsidiaries are parked under Aksi Bina. However the interest of Aksi bina in these subsidiaries are only 60% and 70% respectively. This brings the total interest of Bina Puri in these 2 subsidiaries to only 36% and 42% respectively. Hence why most of the profit attributed by property developments projects are actually distributed back to the non-controlling interest.
Construction projects which delivered 60% of the group revenue is still loss making mainly due to the high financing cost (PBT of construction division in FY18 was -RM19.2mil). The company has always had an issue with very thin profit margins for their construction projects which why some investors believes that they are actually undercutting competitors when tendering for projects by submitting very low bids. This is a risk to the company if they could not deliver on budget and on time (most of the cases they failed to do so).
Until the company can proof that they can be profitable in their construction projects, investors need to be prepared for similar level of profit to shareholders for FY19.
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 7.0x PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi and sales of the new SUV Aruz . 1Q19 result is expected to be better than 1Q18 given that Perodua managed to sell 60,670 cars during the period vs 1Q18 sales of only 55,570 units.
MBMR is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil in 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at only 5.8x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
That is if you want to get exciitement in life and trying to outdo the market. If you are investing: Binapuri is welcoming yout to buy a stake in the company at whatever volume you want at a price of 21 sen. Looking at the company Portfolio, the jobs that it has undertaken and the clientele; this company is not a play play company. Let the management team run the company and we investors buy the company at whatever size of stake that we want. No drama no headache.
Just think like this. Binapuri invites us to be part owner of the company. Say you buy 500 lots at .21 sen. This means you own the company which someone else let go. Then you look at the activities of the company: what projects it has in hand, the management team, the P/L. Imo, the price ia cheap. Keep your equity ownerhip and sell later when someone else wants to buy from you. By thinking like this, you will not be stressed out to outdo the market; infact you are buying a company. You dont hv to buy a shoplot, do proposals, execute the projects. The management team does this for you. Of course better if this company is Amazon or McD,but the price will be different.

TEE's FAMILY LOSING GRIP Author: kokokai1993 | Publish date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019, 12:33 PM
BPURI - TEE's FAMILY LOSING GRIP
With the recent headwinds of Bina Puri unable to carry forward its special resolution due to failure of obtaining the 75% voting for the special resolution, we can suspect there is something fishy going on in the board.
Firstly, Bina Puri announced the proposal on 28 August 2018 which contains “Proposed Acquisition” and “Proposed Amendments”.
The proposal mainly sums up to tell us that Bina Puri is in consideration of purchasing 54.50% equity interest of Ideal Heights Properties Sdn Bhd (IHP) by issuing ordinary shares and new redeemable preference shares at an issue price of RM0.2498.
To let you readers to understand better on this proposal, I have done some summaries on the acquisition proposal.
1) In order to purchase 54.50% of IHP, Bina Puri has to acquire 2,477,108 ordinary shares of IHP
Special resolution - Proposed Amendments – Required majority votes of 75% (failed)
I) Issuance of new Bina Puri shares @ 95,112,573 shares which could help Bina Puri to gather a sum of RM23,759,121
AND
II) Consideration RPS at an issue price of RM0.2498 – a sum of RM10,110,565 (in details please refer to Bursa)
III) Retention RPS at an issue price of RM0.2498 – a sum of RM8,812,657 (in details please refer to Bursa)
TOTAL – RM 42,682,343
Take note that without both proposals approved, this acquisition would not be succeeded.
3) What’s the outcome of EGM?
The outcome of the meeting was unexpected, as the special resolution was failed to go through.
Below is the results of the EGM:
Well, this is something worth looking into it.
Let us go through the board ownership in the Company first….
If you calculate the directors and controlling shareholders ownership, based on the picture above, it will total up to 15.7%. Obviously, this indicates us that the Management do not have sufficient ownership to pass the resolutions themselves and they need other shareholders’ support.
Looking at a bigger picture, we believe that the controlling shareholders would have considered the success rate. Retail investors would have mostly thought that the acquisition will go through as they assume discussion had held within the board with the votes they had in hand for a win.
Unfortunately, the outcome was out of expectation. As the result, the special resolution for the company to obtain funding to activate the acquisition was not approved.
So what happened?
There were a few possibilities.
Retail shareholders did not agree to this acquisition: This possibility is quite unrealistic as normal shareholders are hoping for wealth maximization. Moreover, we can see that this acquisition is a growth driver for Bina Puri– which is a good thing isn’t it?
Besides that, looking into the votes casted in the EGM, it didn’t seem like retail investors were rejecting the resolution. Retail investors normally do not attend general meeting, and now they are against both resolutions. Another point to take note, the 37million shares against the resolutions is close to 10% of total outstanding shares.
There is civil war happening right now in the board: Why do I say so?
Well, looking at the votes involved in the EGM, there were about 85million of shares (22% of the total outstanding shares) being casted in the EGM.
Wow, the Management owns 15.7% shares and 10% of the total outstanding shares were against the resolutions. What does this mean?
We believe that there is a board tussle in Bina Puri right now! It looks like another party with substantial shareholding is emerging.
Tracing back to one to two months earlier, there were private placements which actually caught our attention. In this case, we see the placements could actually be related to the failed resolution.
There were total 3 tranches of private placements:
1st Tranche
2nd Tranche
3rd Tranche
For your information, the EGM meeting were carried out on 24th December 2018.
So, you can see that almost 16% of the new shares were issued prior to the EGM.

’s subsidiary has won an arbitration case against the Pakistan National Highway Authority (NHA) over the termination of a concession agreement dated jan 16, 2012
Bin Puri said Bina Puri Pakistan Private Ltd had won the case involving the construction of a 136km motorway under the build-operate-transfer for a contract value of 24.93bil Pakistan rupees (RM864mil).
The contract was for the expansion of the existing four-lane Karachi-Hyderabad superhighway into a six-lane motorway (M-9).
To recap, on April 23, 2013, the High Court of Sindh referred the dispute to two arbitrators.
The matter was subsequently referred to the umpire on Sept 27, 2018 upon difference of opinion between the arbitrators.
In the latest development, on March 27, 2019, the umpire held in its decision to allow Bina Puri Pakistan’s claims against NHA with a declaration that the termination notice issued by NHA was an unlawful repudiation and breach of the concession agreement.
“With the decision by the umpire, Bina Puri Pakistan will be entitled to the actual pre-development cost and actual development cost to be determined by joint auditor.
“Bina Puri Pakistan shall apply to enforce the arbitration award and will make the necessary announcement in due course,” Bina Puri said.

If you are looking to hedge your portfolio outside of Bina Puri (due to its weak earnings outlook), I would recommend you to look at MBMR. (https://klse.i3investor.com/servlets/stk/pt/5983.jsp)
MBMR is a direct proxy to Perodua via its 22.6% interest in the company. Valuation is cheap at only 7.0x PE based on FY18 profit of RM166mil. PB is low at only 0.7x BV.
FY19 should deliver another profit growth year to the company driven by the performance of Perodua (via MBMR 22.6% holdings in Perodua) from the still strong sales of new Myvi and sales of the new SUV Aruz . 1Q19 result is expected to be better than 1Q18 given that Perodua managed to sell 60,670 cars during the period vs 1Q18 sales of only 55,570 units.
MBMR is expected to achieve a profit of RM200mil in 2019. At the current share price, the company is being valued at only 5.8x which is a lot lower than the industry average of 15x PE. As an example, UMW (another company with exposure to Perodua) is currently trading at a PE multiple of almost 20x.
Good luck.
