@Daily8. No need to explain to him. You can only see his posting when FGV price go down. I don't know what is the use. may be can make him happier or may be from call warrant maker.
Henry888, it’s ok. I can understand some people who are ill hearted due to their own losses .
Transformation plan was done during Azhar helm ( Jan 2019) and we have witnessed the all the plans are taking into effect.
Implications of impairments on APL is not a scrutiny but a blessing in disguise, I hope. ( I hope management can source the right buyers and after the sales of APL, the sales from the proceeds can translate into the company report).
While in the transformation as promised by Azhar for year ending 2018 and whole year 2019 is taking into place, we shareholders will see the results instead. New PH government are working hard to deminish the ill image of our Palm Oil Plantations and steps are taken into it and can directly be seen in local and international settings.
“There are persistent rumours on the potential delisting of FGV.” Quoted by open Letter from Datuk Azhar.
“With the transformation plan in place, there is tremendous upside potential for FGV’s shareholders. As a listed entity, FGV is also expected to uphold the highest standards of integrity and good governance as required by Bursa Malaysia, and The Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance (MCCG). As a result, we are committed to transparency and timely disclosures. Our commitment is evident in the actions we have taken thus far, including leadership changes and pursuing legal action against those responsible for the losses suffered by the co.”
I hope Politicians like Azmin Ali can take a step back to allow FGV to work efficiently into the transformation plan.
Note: It’s been said and informed that the impairment loss will also affect the latest quarter and that’s been done.
FGV’s transformation plan was approved by the board and phased implementation started in October 2018.
The early initiatives to plug leaks and change processes are already showing early signs of success.
“We have been tracking the performance of estate by estate for the last few months and can clearly see where the gaps are and how to address them.
"To date 59 per cent of FGV’s estates have met their budget numbers or exceeded them,” Haris said.
At the mill level, initiatives to tighten controls and reduce milling losses were underway, FGV is monitoring its mill utilsation rate and has put in place steps to increase sourcing of FFB from independent smallholders and other third parties.
FGV’s replanting regimen is also on track to normalise palm age profile by 2026.
In 2019, FGV has targeted to replant 15,000 hectares of with oil palm..
“At a strategic level, plans to exit non-core businesses are underway. Similarly, manpower rationalisation efforts are being implemented,” he added.
FGV also said APL has been loss making since acquisition, despite efforts undertaken by management to improve its performance due to several challenges faced by APL in particular due to its geographical location, labour shortages and weather. APL had also suffered crop losses over the years, which require significant efforts to rehabilitate the estate assets. Due to lack of synergy derived since the acquisition of APL, management has decided to reorganize its reporting structure to review APL operations separately from the other Palm Upstream operations with effect from the quarter ended Sept 30, 2018. Accordingly, the goodwill on the acquisition of APL has been retained in APL. “Based on the impairment assessment performed subsequent to the reorganisation of its reporting structure, an impairment loss of RM513mil has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2018,” it said.
“Through its transformation plan, FGV will correct its legacy issues and restore operational integrity. It is estimated that at an average CPO price of RM2,500 per MT, FGV should be able to earn profit before tax (PBT) of RM1.0 billion a year. All shareholders, especially FELDA will stand to benefit.”
Keyword: IF CPO price going up to 2500 per MT , profit is 1billion per year.
Tun M already wet his feet in discussions with international leaders. News of Monday delivered Norway will incorporate 20% of bio diesel till year 2020. This is huge revenues coming in. Let FGV run the show.
FGV is now in the international arena. I believed news of bio diesel and FGV transformation will attract more foreign investors coming in, So, please AZMIN Ali, step aside.
KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 28): FGV Holdings Bhd said it has undertaken the worst of its impairments during the financial year ended Dec 31, 2018 (FY18) and does not expect any more major impairments of a similar scale to be made in the current financial year.
FGV group chief executive officer Datuk Haris Fadzilah Hassan said the group's total impairment for FY18 amounted to RM966 million, largely due to significant impairments related to three companies, namely Asian Plantation Ltd, FGV Green Energy Sdn Bhd and Cambridge Nanosystems Ltd.
He said the impairments related to the three companies totalled over RM700 million out of the total impairment for the year, which had dragged its financial results for FY18, despite making good progress in its turnaround plan.
"We have taken a lot of impairments last year, so hopefully FGV's performance in 1QFY19 will reflect more of the results of our turnaround initiatives," he told the media at a briefing following the release of the group's 4QFY18 results today.
Haris said FGV will hopefully be free of its legacy issues in 1QFY19, adding that there will no longer be any more big impairments in the current financial year.
"I don't think there will be an impairment of this size. This has been a milestone in FGV's history. A lot of the investments put in post-IPO did not give the kind of returns that were expected at the time of investment," he said.
Meanwhile, Haris said there will be some impairments this year related to the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards 9 (MFRS 9) regulations regarding accounts receivables.
Asked if the group could return to the black in FY19, given that most of the impairments have been done, Haris said: "That's the whole point of the turnaround plan. If the financials don't improve I would be out of the job."
When entities are operated by Pirates. No integrity. It's not about KWAP or any funds selling or buying. RM1 item inflated to RM1000. Loot is shared among them. "Itu untuk kau, ini utk aku, eh utk kau, aa utk aku...." It is a common disease in govt and GLCs. PILFERAGE.
All the bad investments have been impaired. The company is totally clean now. From now on, just fully focus to run the profitable oil palm plantation and sugar manufacturing. Future is bright.
Share market investment is talking about company future prospects and future earnings. As all the bad branches had been cleared, this FGV tree now is left with healthy branches and green leaves. More new branches and new leaves (earnings) will grow in near future.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
