Share price too expensive. If u minus Project Facilitation fee which is one off in nature, the net profit will only be RM 10 to 14 million. Using PE of 15, this company is worth at most RM 200 million, translated to share price, PTRANS fair value is only RM 0.32.

Project Facilitation fee won't last long, this share is actually very expensive.

SECOND, this company is paying much less tax than other companies because of tax incentives, which do not last forever. Without it, profit is much lower

No. I rather buy Dataprep. At least got sentiment support. This stock no sentiment and poor fundamentals.

Read the annual report and analyse the figures carefully. The terminal business is not a profitable business and offer a mediocre after tax return on capital. Heavy Capex and low returns are a bad combination. My FV for this company is only RM 0.45, which is actually quite high compared to its Adjusted Earnings per Share. I give it a premium because the moat for this business is strong.

Did you deduct the project Facilitation fee? Without that, the terminal business has quite returns

There are 100 terminal owned by local council out there. I think project facilitation fee still able to sustain for several years.
Whether IPTT is profitable. Try look at profit margin of reits that collect rental and promotional fees which is more or less same as IPTT

Actually management has disclose PFF before. PFF is to redevelop the old bus terminal, whether ptrans own it after the renovation, or ptrans charges on the PFF fees.

I also watched the interview. The PFF is clearly not sustainable and the current earning is clearly not sustainable. Which means we cannot use current EPS to project its fair value. If you remove the PFF, the net profit is only RM 10 million.

SECOND, its current tax rate is too low and is not sustainable. When the reinvestment allowance runs out, it has to pay 24% tax rate. Its actual net profit therefore is only RM 7 million. At PE of 20 since this is its long run growth rate, the stock is only worth RM 140 million.

It is not about pandemic or not. It is expensive because the Project Facilitation Fee which comprises RM 29 million or almost 80% of the net profit is one off and is not sustainable. Plus, the tax rate is abnormally low because of incentives. If you remove the two unsustainable components, the net profit falls to RM 7 million ringgit. Which reflects the actual earning power of this company

Different player different perspective. PFF contributes to earnings and cash flows to the company, as well as lower tax payment. In fact, management can utilise the money to expand their business, like BIDOR and TRONOH terminal.

well the qr is within my expectation as bus and petrol station biz only make a small contribution to the profit. It is quite misleading when everyone think ptrans is a bus operator like some other rubbish bus operators in the bursa. The only concern is how long can the current pff last and how soon can they replenish the order book, which i hv completely hv no idea.

steve, pff is something like the revenue from construction project. u lose the revenue once the project is finished unless u get another project. That's y order book is important.
Like · 3 years · translate

Adama what baffles me is the they said the PFF is usually 2% of the bus terminal GDV. But they have recorded RM 30 million in PFF last year. Are they suggesting that two bus projects have RM 1.5 Billion in total GDV? I think it is very not clear where the money is exactly coming from. And the PFF is actually even higher this year.

Terminal Meru has recorded a flat RM 10 to 13 million since IPO from A&P and rental. But the construction cost is almost RM 200 over million, the ROI is stupidly low.

The A&P and rental combined is yielding only around 6% return on investment. Could be higher if we don't use the net profit, but the gross profit instead. Subsequent terminals will show the exact ROI. Difficult to assess the ROI for the first

Yes the PFF is from third party and it's getting higher every single year. They said it's 2~3% from the total project cost. But it is highly unlikely we have billions of bus terminal project every year. Even more expensive than building Airport

Kim, normally project that big will be reported by news. Based on last year PFF, the project value in 2020 itself has to be around 1.3b to 1.98b. Try compare to the total cost of terminal kampar abt 280m.

128m is the cost of terminal (The Edge). 284m is the total cost (Annual report key audit matters). FYI, cost of KLIA2 is around 4B. So the GDV of projects that they involved in past 3 years is about an international airport lol

Based in the info from the latest investor briefing, the rm39m pff for FY20 was derived from 6 projects instead of one, which means each project has only average project development cost of rm260m. Now this value looks more reasonable.

IMO pff should be able to last for quite some time since government is still pushing for a better and modern bus terminal services and there r still many lousy old school bus terminal out there.
