Lotus's Malaysia to rebrand all 62 stores by year end

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Subscribe to our channel for the latest stories and updates.
Back in February 2021, Malaysians were shocked when news broke that Tesco Malaysia was leaving the country. In its place comes Lotus's Malaysia after Tesco Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd sold its businesses in Thailand and Malaysia to Thailand's Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group.

Today, Lotuss Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd launched its first flagship store in Kepong in the mall formerly known as Kepong Village Mall in Bandar Menjalara. If you're an avid fan of Tesco's products and shopping experience, here's everything you need to know about Lotus's Malaysia.

READ MORE: Bye Bye Tesco Malaysia, Retailer Changes Name to Lotus's

What is Lotus's actually?

Lotus's is a retail chain that originated in Thailand by CP Group and now has expanded to Malaysia through acquisition of Tesco Malaysia since December 2020.

With this acquisition, Lotus's assumes Tesco's existing operations which include 8,600 employees across one head office, two distribution centres, and 62 stores throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The entire rebranding process is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.

Bonus point here is that Lotus's has Malaysia's most extensive online grocery home shopping network with over 100 delivery trucks and operations in Penang, Johor Bahru, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Ipoh.

They're also partnering with Lazada, Shopee, HappyFresh and foodpanda for Malaysians to shop on their preferred online platforms.

What's up with the name "Lotus's"?

It is pronounced "Lotus" not "Lotuses".

Lotus's Malaysia President Kenneth Chuah explained that the 's' is supposed to be silent and it actually represents the company's "SMART values" which is defined as:

S is for Simple: "We simplify the experience for our customers."

M is for Motivated: "We try to always be one step ahead in anticipating our customer's needs."

A is for Agile: "We act and adapt fast to changing needs and trends"

R is for Responsible: "We are always professional and ethical in everything that we do"

T is for Transformative: "We innovate to help our customers to enjoy better lives"

The apostrophe seen in the name and logo is actually a GPS location drop pin, which is frankly a pretty clever way to tell people "come here for all your needs and wants."

New name, new stuff

Lotus's inclusion into the CP Group also means greater variation in the offerings of sister company, CP Food's ready-to-eat meals.

There's 7 new - and honestly delicious - varieties such as CP Korean Fried Chicken, CP Spicy Drummet, CP Tomyum Jumbo Popcorn, CP Tomyum Shrimp Wonton, CP Marinated Chicken Black Pepper, CP Marinated Chicken BBQ and CP Korean Popcorn.

But the biggest new surprise is actually the entrance of modest fashionwear brand Naelofar into Lotus's. Yep, this is the first time the super popular brand led by founder and celebrity Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor is sold at a hypermarket chain.

Lotus's says that more Naelofar products will be coming to their shelves closer to the Raya celebrations at selected stores.

Very cool. Now, what's going to happen to my favourite Tesco products???

Well, we have somewhat good news for you.

Kenneth explains that not much will change, actually. All the Tesco products that are produced locally will simply be rebranded to Lotus's with new packaging. The rebranding of Tesco Own Brand range to Lotus's Own Brand includes products such as the tempura nuggets, fried chicken, UHT milk, cat food, kitchen towels and many more.

However, you might see the same products with both Tesco and Lotus's names side by side for a while as they clear out the old stock.

As for the superfine Tesco stuff imported from the UK, Kenneth says that Lotus's will be partnering with Tesco to continue bringing them to Malaysia.

TRP understands that the talks are still ongoing but this would likely mean that this includes Tesco biscuits, condiments, spices and coffee.

Tesco Clubcard members can also breathe sigh of relief as your rewards points will be converted to Lotus's with no change. The new loyalty programme will allow customers the flexibility to choose and convert points to saving vouchers at their convenience while maintaining all existing collected points.

Now that your burning questions have been answered, look out for Lotus's second and third flagship stores launching in Penang and Johor in May. Stay tuned to TRP for more updates!

PETALING JAYA: Power Root Bhd is expected to post strong quarterly results ahead on higher export sales, improved operating efficiency and new product launches, according to CGS-CIMB Research.

The research house expected the group's earnings to be driven by improved sales to Saudi Arabia starting from the second quarter of its financial year 2024 (2Q24).

The group targeted to have its product listings on Abbar Foods' distribution channels by the end of June this year.

"The strong earnings will also be due to sustained demand momentum from its other segments on a pick-up in economic activities.

"In addition, we believe its margins could be enhanced by its efforts to improve operational efficiencies such as warehouse optimisation, sales automation, information technology platform rollout and the installation of new high-speed production lines, which could boost productivity," added CGS-CIMB Research.

Power Root's net profit was at RM15.29mil in 1Q24, down from RM15.26mil a year ago.

The group aims to launch a new premium tea brand in 3Q24 in Malaysia, further widening its product portfolio.

Domestically, the research house expected Power Root's aggressive marketing campaign for its premium Frenche Roast product series in 2Q23 to help elevate its brand equity and boost domestic sales starting from 2Q24.

The group is engaged in the manufacturing and distribution of beverage products, which are fast-moving consumer goods.

In a post-results report, Kenanga Research said it anticipated weaker quarters ahead for the pre-mixed instant powder beverage company amid persistently high inflation and slow economic growth.

Helping to mitigate the downside, however, is the group's product diversification and the expansion of its product lines.

Power Root announced its 1Q24 results last Monday, which showed a core net profit of RM15.3mil, below market expectations.

The results came in at 25% and 24% of Kenanga's and consensus full-year estimates, respectively, setting Power Root up for a disappointing year, given the coming quarters are expected to yield weaker earnings.

KUALA LUMPUR: The slowdown in demand in Power Root Bhd 's domestic and Middle East markets is likely to continue as the macro headwinds persist while elevated raw material prices narrow margins.

In a post-results report, Kenanga Research said it anticipates weaker quarters ahead for the pre-mixed instant powder beverage company amid the persistent high inflation and slowing economic growth.

Helping to mitigate the downside, however, is the company's product diversification and expansion of its product lines.

According to Kenanga, one of the key growth areas could be the high-margin ready-to-drink (RTD) products. A new RTD products plants is expected to be completed by 2024-2025.

"Meanwhile, there are eight SKUs for Malaysia (with three of them expected to hit the market in FY24) and five for the GCC countries in the pipeline," said the research firm.

Power Root announced its 1QFY24 results yesterday, which revealed a core net profit of RM15.3mil, below market expectations.

The result came to 25% and 24% of Kenanga's and consensus full-year estimates, which sets Power Root up for a disappointing year given the coming quarters are expected to yield weaker earnings.

"We cut our FY24-25F net profit by 8% and 14%, respectively, to reflect the softer domestic and export markets.

"Having also rolled forward our valuation base year to FY25F (from FY24F), we lower our TP by 7% to RM2.50 (from RM2.70)," said Kenanga.

The research firm reiterated its "outperform" call on the company as its target price of RM2.50 remains at a 36 sen premium to its Monday closing price of RM2.14.

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 21): Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd has returned to the black for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 (2QFY2023) after logging a net loss in the previous two quarters, thanks to a higher sales margin, as well as lower raw material and operational costs.

The wood panel products maker posted a net profit of RM4.81 million or 0.57 sen per share for the quarter, compared with a net loss of RM19.58 million or 2.32 sen per share in 1QFY2023. Revenue grew 37.8% to RM235.15 million from RM170.63 million.

On a year-on-year basis, however, the group's net profit was 73.8% lower than the RM18.34 million or 2.17 sen per share reported for 2QFY2022, as revenue declined 28.8% to RM330.11 million, and also due to a rise in operational cost on the back of an increase in electricity surcharge and minimum wage.

The group did not declare any dividend for 2QFY2023.

Evergreen said quarterly sales volume fell compared to a year earlier, as a result of continued soft furniture demand from the US and Europe in a high-interest-rate environment, which impacted its ready-to-assemble segment and panel board segment.

For the first half of FY2023, the group recorded a net loss of RM14.77 million and a revenue of RM405.78 million, versus a net profit of RM35.87 million and revenue of RM649.44 million in the same period of FY2022.

While furniture demand from the US and Europe remained underwhelming, the group said the bright note is that the demand for medium-density fibreboards in the Middle East has improved.

Evergreen said signs of improvement in sales persisted in 3QFY2023, although it is unsure if the improvements are sustainable and will depend on the resolution of the various challenges and consumer confidence.

"The group continues to restructure in order to mitigate and overcome the challenges from external and macro-economic factors. The relocation of the panel board line from Malaysia to Indonesia is ongoing. Management remains cautious and will maintain a healthy cash balance to ensure sufficient liquidity," it said.

As at June 30, Evergreen has RM113.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, while its loans and borrowings amounted to RM122.52 million.

Shares in Evergreen closed 0.5 sen or 1.56% lower at 31.5 sen on Monday (Aug 21), giving the group a market capitalisation of RM266.62 million. Over the past year, the stock has fallen 37%.

KUALA LUMPUR (May 6): Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research is maintaining a "buy" rating on Evergreen Fibreboard Bhd at 77.5 sen, with an unchanged target price of 94 sen, as it sees the group facing some near-term headwinds mainly caused by prolonged bad weather as well as global macro events.

In a note on Friday (May 6), the research house said it is not overly concerned on this as these challenges are not structural or permanent in nature.

"We believe Evergreen is well positioned to overcome these challenges due to its well-integrated operations as well as its diversified production bases.

"Overall, the group is still riding on a positive momentum driven by recovering demand in the panel board and furniture market."

HLIB Research said as average selling prices (ASPs) continued to rise while raw material costs remained flattish in 1QFY22 versus 4QFY21, Evergreen is likely to record commendable results in 1QFY22 comparable to the previous quarter.

Nonetheless, it said Evergreen may see some weakness in 2QFY22 due to the Hari Raya holidays and plant maintenance resulting in lower operating days.

It added that the group will use this downtime to perform plant maintenance and build-up wood stock.

"Management anticipates challenges to be well managed as they are not structural or permanent in nature.

"Overall, with ASP recovering from the lows of previous years and with its well managed integrated production and improving efficiencies, we believe the group will deliver sustained earnings growth going forward," said HLIB Research.

Investing in stocks comes with the risk that the share price will fall. Unfortunately, shareholders of Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad ( KLSE:EVERGRN) have suffered share price declines over the last year. In that relatively short period, the share price has plunged 64%. Longer term investors have fared much better, since the share price is up 56% in three years. Furthermore, it's down 31% in about a quarter. That's not much fun for holders.

So let's have a look and see if the longer term performance of the company has been in line with the underlying business' progress.

See our latest analysis for Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad

Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad isn't currently profitable, so most analysts would look to revenue growth to get an idea of how fast the underlying business is growing. Generally speaking, companies without profits are expected to grow revenue every year, and at a good clip. As you can imagine, fast revenue growth, when maintained, often leads to fast profit growth.

In the last year Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad saw its revenue grow by 17%. That's definitely a respectable growth rate. Meanwhile, the share price tanked 64%, suggesting the market had much higher expectations. It is of course possible that the business will still deliver strong growth, it will just take longer than expected to do it. For us it's important to consider when you think a company will become profitable, if you're basing your valuation on revenue.

The graphic below depicts how earnings and revenue have changed over time (unveil the exact values by clicking on the image).

Balance sheet strength is crucial. It might be well worthwhile taking a look at our free report on how its financial position has changed over time.

A Different Perspective

We regret to report that Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad shareholders are down 63% for the year. Unfortunately, that's worse than the broader market decline of 1.3%. However, it could simply be that the share price has been impacted by broader market jitters. It might be worth keeping an eye on the fundamentals, in case there's a good opportunity. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 7% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround. It's always interesting to track share price performance over the longer term. But to understand Evergreen Fibreboard Berhad better, we need to consider many other factors.
