Their bakery profit margin is much better than primary production (pork business).
So no need to worry too much

Haha $9+ valuation for QAF,more than Wilmar or Olam.

Cons:
-Illiquid stock
-Earnings have declined by 25.5% per year over the past 5 years.Business/profit is good now due to Covid-19 similar to SS and Wilmar.With gradual lifting of movement restrictions and vaccine available in a years time or so, growth will not be exponential like now.
-Dividend of 6.41% is not well covered by earnings.Probably payout using their bank borrowings.
-Not much analysts coverage even my stock apps have zero data/ news development on this counter.

QAF multiplies H1 earnings 13 times to S$28.2 million
FRI, AUG 07, 2020 - 7:30 PM

WITH a pandemic-fuelled bread boom, QAF, the maker of Gardenia bread, has multiplied its net profit 13 times on-year to S$28.2 million for the six months ended June.

Revenue for H1 was up 10 per cent to S$462.6 million, driven by a strong showing in all three segments: bakery, primary production, and distribution and warehousing.

Sales in the bakery unit rose 23 per cent to S$220.7 million for H1, as Gardenia enjoyed higher demand during the Covid-19 pandemic in Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines. QAF also changed its product mix and production scheduling to maintain cost efficiency and profitability.

The surge was partly dampened by lower sales of Bakers Maison Australia, as food service outlets were hit by the lockdown period.

Nevertheless, with better plant utilisation and more streamlined production, the bakery segment&rsquo s Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) rose 113 per cent to S$43.1 million.

Distribution and warehousing revenue was similarly robust, rising by 13 per cent to S$60 million, mainly contributed by higher domestic sales to retail supermarkets and exports.

QAF also enjoyed a 75 per cent rise in other interest income to S$5.3 million, on the back of one-off government grants of $3.5 million to cope with the pandemic.

The primary production segment was more tepid, with revenue remaining flat. Despite a lower sales volume, the segment benefited from higher average selling prices, given the tightening of general market supply, lower grain prices and better performance from its pork processing business.

Commodity prices shone in favour of QAF. Pork prices were 12 per cent higher than a year ago. Meanwhile, flour prices were stable and grain prices were lower, bringing down the overall cost of materials by 1 per cent to S$230 million.

However, QAF will be launching a sale process for its primary production arm in H2, so that it can better focus on the remaining two units.

&ldquo Following nearly 20 years of ownership by QAF, the primary production business is now an ideal platform and has reached the necessary scale for a new owner with a strong focus on the animal protein segment to bring it to its next growth phase,&rdquo QAF said.

It expects its bakery business to eventually normalise from H2, with the reopening of businesses. &ldquo As such, the group&rsquo s focus continues to be on sustainable long-term growth,&rdquo it said.

To increase its product range in Malaysia, QAF&rsquo s joint venture GBKL will add a new line at Bukit Kemuning. Investment for plant and equipment will be mainly funded by external bank loans and the remaining by internal resources.

An additional bread line at Farmland Malaysia to supply both Malaysia and Singapore markets, alongside an upgrade to the bread production lines in Singapore are currently being studied.

The devil is in the details. Pls read the full detail in the manilastandard.net website provided by the company. It says that the bakery production is fully automated. In other words, it will not be affected by COVID-19. It also means less staff needed (less overheads). It also mention the strong demand would extend until year end. What I share here is not exhaustive. Read the news for more details.

This type of peanut news need halt two days?? Ridiculous

Something brewing good still hidden, my 2cents

Trading Halt just because of this news article:

PRESS REPORT IN THE MANILA STANDARD
Reference is made to a report published by the Manila Standard on 4 August 2020 where it was stated inter alia that &ldquo Bread maker Gardenia Bakeries Philippines, Inc. reported a 35% sales increase in the second quarter despite harsh lockdown measures to contain the spread of COVID-19.&rdquo (https://manilastandard.net/business/economy-trade/330491/gardenia-says-bread-sales-in-q2-up-by35-hike-in-2nd-quarter.html).

The Company wishes to clarify that it called a trading halt as the Company was planning to release its half year results announcement on 7 August 2020. This was to enable shareholders to be fully apprised of the Group&rsquo s financial results for 1H 2020, as such announcement would contain more detailed and material information which would better reflect the Group&rsquo s performance as a whole. Shareholders are advised to refer to the Company&rsquo s announcement released today relating to the Group&rsquo s 1H 2020 financial results.

That' s the way I like it. Closely guarded results without insider intervention. If there is, hardly noticeable. There was a moment I thought I bought a dud. But in the end, it turns out well.

Continue to hold.
