Prospect: The higher US furniture sales were driven by the Covid-19 recovery stimulus and high demand following the lockdowns. Although purchase orders particularly from US customers remain strong, going forward we expect the continuous inflationary pressures may somewhat dampen demand. Nevertheless, the ongoing trade war between the United States and China, the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the resulting sanctions have driven importers to secure their sources of supply from SEA countries, including Malaysia
Homeritz reported good results, supported by strong USD. by same extension, i reckon Wegmans shld be reporting good results in Aug too then?... majority of Wegmans sales are also in USD. and they export a lot to US market too. looking at the price chart.. price seems low now. downside shld be limited? assuming they can do RM15mln... it's only PE 7x...
Base on my BRIEF study on the QR3 2024 (The latest QR) of Wegmans:
(Note: A comparative figures from QR2 2024 included)
A: Revenue, profitability and NTA.
Revenue PBT Net Profit EPS NTA QoQ(%) YoY(%) 21,798K -1,477K -1,189K -22sen 24sen Down 177% Down 40%
B: Sitting on positive reserve / Retained profits of RM 84,110,000. It means, the company is a profitable company.
C: Has a moderate cash and cash equivalents of RM 16,495,000.
D. Total assets > Total liabilities, Total current assets > Total current liabilities, and its total current liabilities below 50% of its current assets – Means has a low indebtedness risk.
THE FINDINGS:
1. NTA 24 sen _ , QR2 2024 @ 24 sen. 2. NOSH 550.04 mil _ , QR2 2024 @ 550.04 mil.
The Group’s revenue for the current financial quarter ended 30 September 2024 has decreased by RM11.71 million or 34.94% to approximately RM21.80 million as compared to approximately RM33.51 million in the preceding year corresponding quarter ended 30 September 2023.

The lower revenue was mainly attributed to the lower sales volume from North and South America.
The Group registered a loss before tax of approximately RM1.48 million for the current financial quarter ended 30 September 2024 as compared to loss before tax of approximately RM0.45 million for the preceding year corresponding quarter ended 30 September 2023.
The loss before tax was mainly due to the lower revenue generated and the weakening of United States Dollar (“USD”) against the RM resulting in a loss on foreign exchange of RM1.51 million during the current financial quarter.
For the current financial period ended 30 September 2024, the Group registered a profit before tax of approximately RM6.30 million as compared to profit before tax of approximately RM4.41 million for the preceding corresponding financial period ended 30 September 2023.
The higher profit before tax, despite a decline in revenue, was mainly attributed to the absence of an impairment loss on a trade receivable of RM8.00 million for the preceding corresponding financial period ended 30 September 2023.
Note 2: QoQ
For the current financial quarter ended 30 September 2024, the Group’s revenue has decreased by RM0.43 million or 1.91% to approximately RM21.80 million as compared to approximately RM22.22 million in the preceding financial quarter ended 30 June 2024. The lower revenue was mainly attributed to the lower sales volume.
The Group registered a loss before tax of approximately RM1.48 million for the current financial quarter ended 30 September 2024 as compared to a profit before tax of approximately RM2.21 million for the preceding financial quarter ended 30 June 2024. The loss before tax was mainly due to the weakening of United States Dollar (“USD”) against the RM resulting in a loss on foreign exchange of RM1.51 million and incurrence of exhibition expenses of RM0.41 million during the current financial quarter.
Note 3: Prospects
The Group confronts global economic uncertainties, increased production costs, and foreign currency fluctuations.
Despite the challenging global economic outlook, the Board will regularly review the performance and progress of the Group’s operations and financial performance as well as introduce measures to minimise our operating costs. The Board expects that the Group’s operations for the financial year ending 31 December 2024 to remain profitable amidst a challenging business environment.
