@danielong1982.....how was your insurance business for Oct till today.? Marked improvement? What do think of Stmb business for Oct till today? Thanks in advance

business a bit slow during MCO, as i did not really go out and interact with customer. I'm with AIA so i can actually submit everything online with customer remote sign. However some customers still don't like the idea of remote sign. I believe insurance market will make a come back to pre-pandemic level.

Very bad quarter result! EPF predicted correctly! No wonder EPF dumping massively!

Among the analyst reports I manage to get hold, only Affin and RHB mention MFRS17. They are also more conservative with their TPs.

Affin expects a contractual service margin impact of 30% (what does it mean to book value, profit etc?)

RHB expects 15% to 20% drop in FY23 earnings, and 25% to 30% drop in shareholder equity. As pointed out by @wsb_investor, many analysts use PB or even PE valuation. All else being equal, a 30% drop in equity should mean a 30% reduction in intrinsic value. Say previously the value is RM5, the new value should be RM3.5.

However as earning decline is more gradual, ROE = earning/ shareholder equity will increase by around 13% if apply RHB figures. So all else being equal, a higher PB value is warranted?

The biggest problem is they never explain how they derive their estimate. This is like a guessing game.

No one will know the real impact unless you are the insiders in STMB. Not to mention the impact is up to management decision, they can set diff size of CSM where they deem fit (higher CSM = higher reduction in equity, in exchange for higher future profit). IFRS17 ultimately is just presentation, and will make insurance industry more comparable with other industry. STMB fundamental will not change, and will continue rely on MRTA. It is definitely way overpriced now due to recognition of large day1 profit, and its business will unavoidably fluctuate with MRTA sales, and indirectly home sales among bumis. With no more MOT next year, new home sales got limited prospect, and so is STMB profit.

For Allianz and Maybank, even if close for new business immediately, no new policies sold, or no new loan/deposit, the existing business can still continue to generate reasonable profit (insurance margin/net interest margin) for up to 10+ years. This is not the case for STMB, where it has a very low recurring profit. Any analysts that try to compare STMB directly with Allianz or Banks are just too naïve.

Future tense: Reduction in book value by ~29%, reduction of PAT and dividend by ~16%, change in CEO

FRS17 reduces the book value by 28.5%. To me, that's a serious issue. It instantly raises P/B ratio, which is the primary valuation for insurance companies. Also, PAT and dividend will be reduced by 16%. This is also an issue.

Change in CEO might also be an issue (although there's a possibility that the next CEO will do an even greater job).

Might be safer to enter after the implementation for the market to fully absorb the impact OR enter at a low price. IMO, current price is not low

what is the difference between Takaful and MNRB ?

Posted by wsb_investor > 2021-11-24 17:26 | Report Abuse

Takaful owns life and general business (90% profit from life), MNRB owns reinsurance (mainly general) + Takaful Ikhlas (50/50 life/general).

In any case, changes in accounting standards will not change the business nature and cash flow of a single contribution product. What I care more about is whether demand and profitability can continue to grow. If not, even if the accounting standards remain unchanged, it cannot be a reason for potential investors to buy stocks

Posted by wsb_investor > 2021-11-25 09:27 | Report Abuse

You still don't understand the issue. Takaful currently enjoying a unfairly high valuation due to current flawed accounting standard, which allows it to recognize big profit upfront. In Q1 2023, when analysts or normal investors look at the first IFRS17 financial statement, the valuation will be downgraded immediately.

Posted by davidkkw79 > 2021-11-25 09:34 | Report Abuse

yupe agree. According to current accounting way has exaggerated the profit of takaful, that's why malaysia insurance companies has been asked by international accounting standard organization to ammend it as soon as possible.

Posted by Bao2lai > 2021-11-25 11:41 | Report Abuse

potential impact of MFRS17 on the group’s earnings as it would have to amortise single premium policies over a longer period and lead to lower earnings which management had guided the impact to be roughly 15%.

From a share price valuation angle, the market should
accord the stock a higher P/B multiple from a higher ROE as there will be a day 1 downward adjustment to retained profit for accounting modification on legacy single premium policies.

As such, post MFRS17 ROE is anticipated to rise by 2-3ppts which will partially offset the earnings impact. There is also minimal risk to a cash call as its CAR ratio should remain well above 130% despite the one-off day 1 impact to retained earnings.

Well if u plan to keep the counter for 10years and in 10years time more people will use insurance. Probably not a bad investment at this price. Not fancy growth like semiconductors but a safe one.

A friend of mine drove the Aruz. Masuk air. Send workshop and they ask him to prepare 20K-25K if no flood insurance. Another friend drive branded continental car. Pomen says if submerge over car seats, no need for repair. Waste money. It is as good as getting a new car coz after fixed, sure here and then hv problems due to many electronic boards. Meaning,
1. There will be insurance claims but not sure what the % and if there is compensation, it will be huge.
2. There a'dy ppl start suggesting if a situation like this, after a few months go whack the car and claim total loss (It is illegal ok.....but you can't deny there are parties that resort to this.) More insurance claims.
3. There will be more new cars on the road because owner change car due to flood? This 1 gd for insurance business.
4. More 2nd hand cars....this 1 just simply mumbling only.........

My point? See 1 & 2 loh....

1. Not that many people purchase flood add-on
2. There is reinsurance/retakaful arrangement to cover scenario like this

Posted by KingKong_Doll > 2021-12-22 16:00 | Report Abuse

Not that many ppl buy which is true but those who bought, last time maybe few claims because it happen due to ppl go out and drive into flood area. Now the flood come to your area. Also, last time might be claim not so severe and mayb certain part of the car. Now mostly the entire car. Anyway, it will be one off la. hopefully next yr will be a better year.

=====================================

Wrong question!

Flood insurance comes under general insurance and the premium is not much for a hefty claim.

How much fund do they have to furnish claims?

Are they ready?
