They have no choice to keep banking system safe.  Ah tiong just come and embloc, then buy and buy, then a lot of local money also follow. Then later when China crash and those developer bankrupt, our local property sector will crash and destabilise the financial sector. 

So now go after developer.

In the first seven months, PropNex had led in the sales performance for 12 out of 15 of the project launches, having closed the most number of units ahead of the other joint marketing agencies.

PropNex has been mandated for another 20 upcoming New Project Launches with approximately 10,800 units for 2H2018/2019. Within the next 5 months, PropNex is expected to launch 15 projects, totaling 5,462 units, which will present more opportunities for PropNex’s salespersons.

CONTRAST WITH APAC REALTY (ERA)

To date, ERA has launched 15 projects in the first 7 months of 2018, or a total of 8,625 units. Another 10 projects, or 4,383 units, are due to launch in the next 5 months which signifies growth potential for the Group and more opportunities for ERA salespersons in the second half of 2018.

-------

1H for Propnex
profits for owners = 10.374m
add back 1.113m of IPO expenses = 11.48m.

So for 1H, they did 15 projects. 2H going to do 20 projects.
If we assume same earnings, annualising it 11.48m x 2 = 22.96m

According to PropNex prospectus, it will have roughly 63.1m of cash and no debt. the latest financial results do not reflect the cash yet because the financial quarter ended before IPO, so cash hasn't came in yet.

PropNex's current market cap is 210.9m minus cash of 63.1m, you'll get 147.8m of business value or enterprise value.

147.8m (enterprise value) divided by earnings of 22.96m = (EV/Profits) of 6.4x

APAC Realty is trading around 5.5x (EV/profits). Market seems to give a premium to PropNex for its market leadership and its growth.

Financial Results 1H2019

Highlights :
1. For 1H2019, 26% decline in revenue to $166 million, compared to $224 million in 1H2018.
2. For 1H2019, 46% decline in net profit to $6.4 million, compared to $11.7 million in 1H2018.

"11. A commentary at the date of this announcement of the significant trends and competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months.

The sales performance of the second quarter tends to outperform the first quarter largely due to the festivities in the beginning of the year and sales momentum picking up thereafter. Due to the line-up of possibly over 26 new launches in the 2H2019 that are captivating the interest of buyers and investors, the Group expects the sales activities to continue for the remainder of the year, with momentum and demand staying resilient.

To fully capitalise on the numerous project launches this year, the Group will continuously conduct consumer seminars to articulate the opportunities to potential buyers. These consumer seminars are often conducted by the Company’s executive directors Mr Mohamed Ismail S/O Abdul Gafoore and Mr Kelvin Fong Keng Seong.

While private home prices may see a positive price growth in 2019, the Group anticipates the private resale market to be relatively subdued due to the property cooling measures as owners are postponing and holding off the decision to sell their properties.

On the public housing front, the HDB resale market is reflecting continuous demand and price stabilization."

PropNex reports lower Q2 earnings, declares 1.25 cents dividend
Tue, Aug 13, 2019 - 6:43 PM

REAL estate agency PropNex saw its bottomline shrink in its fiscal second quarter, as it took in lower commission income while bearing higher staff costs and depreciation expenses.

Revenue for the three months ended June 30 fell 24 per cent to S$92.1 million from S$121.6 million the year before.

PropNex said this was due mainly to the decrease in commission income from agency services and project marketing services. Commission income from agency services decreased as the year-ago period saw much en bloc activity before the cooling measures took effect, which contributed to strong resale activities.

Commission income from project marketing services decreased because a significant number of option-to-purchase projects were not completed by the end of the quarter.

Meanwhile, expenses such as staff costs and depreciation of plant and equipment increased during the period.

As such, PropNex's net profit attributable to shareholders fell 12 per cent to S$3.7 million from S$4.2 million.

Earnings per share were one cent, compared to 1.36 cents the year before.

The company has declared a dividend of 1.25 cents per share for the period...

Rags to riches story ....

Was surprised to learn abt the $1mil pension offered by SAF for 'A' levels qualification of a full time army personnel in those days. During SG's early dev days, I think $1mil is a lot of money, and our population is not as well educated.

Newspaper delivery boy to real estate leader
29 Nov 2019

From delivering newspapers as a boy to becoming the CEO of Singapore's largest real estate company, it has been an eventful 49 years for Mr Ismail Gafoor.....

Army life was comfortable, but Mr Ismail was not sure if he would progress further in his career with only an O-level certificate.

The army gave him a choice to retire with a pension of $1 million if he signed on full-time. He also had to complete his A levels......

Mr Ismail briefly dabbled in insurance before starting a real estate business with his wife on Jan 1, 1996. Called Nooris Consultants, the name coined from his and his wife's names, it soon made a mark.

But Mr Ismail realised that he was only king of the Malay-Muslim property market with about 250 agents and about $10 million in annual revenue.....
