Cosco

Cosco - 1Q 2018 Net Profit of $2.8m.
If you look further into their financial report, it stated "Other gains for Q1 2018 were mainly due to foreign exchange gain of $3.0 million".

Also the Share of profit of an associated company of $0.6 million was mainly due to share of profit from newly acquired 40% shareholdings in PT Ocean Global Shipping.




I think is still too early to see how the company will perform well for the next 1-3 quarters.
As also mentioned, the shipping revenue was decreased owing to reduce fleet of 3 bulk carriers.




I think investor may want to look further into their cash flow statement.
I think the cash flow is still showing negative cash in flow.




I think the company recently has taken on a loan of about $300+m.

NAV of 23.07 cents.





Not a call to buy or sell.

Please do your own due diligence.


Highlights: 

• The Group recorded net profit attributable to equity holders of $2.8 million for Q1 2018 as compared to a loss of $78.9 million for Q1 2017. In Q1 2018, the Group transformed into one of Singapore’s leading logistics management service providers with the acquisition of 100% interest in the equity of Cogent Holdings Limited.



• Group turnover from continuing operations increased by 256.1% to $40.6 million for Q1 2018 as compared to Q1 2017 mainly due to turnover of $32.1 million from newly acquired logistics businesses.

• Turnover from shipping revenue decreased owing to a reduced fleet of 3 bulk carriers.



• The increase in cost of sales, distribution, administrative and finance expenses were mainly due to the newly acquired logistics businesses.
