百乐园檳打造大学城

财经 2014年3月25日
（乔治市25日讯）大马房產发展商--百乐园（PARAMON，1724，主板產业股）週二宣布，將在峇都加湾一片面积12.14公顷的永久业权土地，打造大学城综合发展项目。        

百乐园执行副主席拿督张昌炯指出，百乐园以6556万令吉，向檳州发展机构（PDC）购得这片土地，以便在发展迅速的峇都加湾打造其第一个大学城。这將包含KDU大学学院院校和一系列的综合发展计划。」

他指出，该计划对百乐园非常重要，因为这是集团旗下两家子公司--Paramount Properties私人有限公司和KDU大学学院私人有限公司首次合作的综合发展计划。

张昌炯和檳州发展机构于週二签署收购协议后，如此指出。

在场见证的是檳州首席部长林冠英。

张昌炯预计，在12.14公顷的土地中，將会拨出4公顷的土地作为KDU大学学院建设项目，並预料將在未来五年內完成。

另外，他也表示，剩余的8.1公顷土地將会打造一个围绕著KDU大学学院的城镇项目，並计划在未来10內完成。

他指出，该集团在檳城建立新的KDU校园，主要是KDU升格为大学，因此，该公司希望在促进开发人力资本，为大马年轻人提供更多优质教育的机会方面，做出更大的贡献。

至於峇都加湾的新KDU大学学院，他表示，「它將是一个绿色校园，拥有全面的学术专业课程、体育和娱乐设施，以打造一个生活与学习，工作和娱乐的读书环境。」

他预测，这所新校园在未来8年的入学率，预计將比檳城KDU原有的入学人士增加1倍，目前檳城KDU的入学率为2500人。

他也指出，该发展计划的概念將类似与百乐园去年在莎阿南打造的Utropolis大学城发展计划。【东方网财经】

購檳地段建大學園‧百樂園可增8億發展值

2014-03-26 17:41      
（吉隆坡26日訊）百樂園（PARAMON,1724,主板產業組）日前宣佈收購檳城峇都交灣一塊約30.7英畝土地興建大學園；興業研究認為，相信該公司要复制在雪州格林馬利Utropolis大學城鎮計劃的成功模式，使該公司旗下產業發展總值添加8億令吉。

百樂園以6千700萬7千令吉，或每平方尺50令吉代價收購上述土地，與最近交易價格一致。

該公司是向檳城發展機構收購上述永久地契土地，將分成兩塊為10.40及20.32英畝土地，分別充當建築新KDU大學學院校園及綜合發展計劃。

興業預料，有關大學校園將在未來4至5年完成，預料在8年裡可容納5千名學生，而綜合產業發展計劃則在10年內建峻完成。該計劃首階段料在2年後才開始推介。

興業指出，隨著檳島人口有增無減，由就業機會及商業活動所推動，預料高等教育及產業需求也跟著“水漲船高”。該公司也可調動在雙溪大年的人員啟動有關的發展計劃。

興業指出，該公司於2013年1月推介旗下Utropolis大學城鎮計劃後取得成功，由於發展概念及學生人口賣點，使該計劃首兩期的產業全面售出。

有鋻於此，興業看好在檳城的這項發展計劃，特別是靠近建議中的高檔商店及宜家（IKEA）賣場，是產業發展的策略性地點。

興業對百樂園的淨利預測保持不變，2014年財政年為5千930萬令吉，以及2015年則為6千500萬令吉，惟將評級，從“中和”上調至“買進”，合理價為1令吉88仙。（星洲日報／財經‧報道：李文龍）

百乐园发附加股集资9290万

财经 2014年4月14日
（吉隆坡14日讯）百乐园（PARAMON，1724，主板產业股）建议，以4配1比例发售附加股，筹集9290万令吉，作偿还银行贷款和营运资本用途。其中，5097万令吉將用作营运资本、4000万令吉用以偿还银行贷款，剩余193万令吉充作附加股计划开销。百乐园披露，筹资偿债將可为其每年省下190万令吉的利息成本。        

该公司补充，上述计划將以全数认购的基础来进行。除了將寻求2名大股东──ParamountEquities私人有限公司和拿督张昌炯的认购承诺外，其余未获其它股东认购的附加股，也將全数获得包销。

上述计划预料將在第三季完成，百乐园的缴足资本预料將从1亿6891万令吉，扩大至2亿1113万令吉，负债率从0.36倍，降至0.27倍。【东方网财经】

附加股沖淡效應適中‧百樂園前景可期

2014-04-15 17:01      
（吉隆坡15日訊）百樂園（PARAMON,1724,主板產業組）建議4配1附加股，集資9千萬至1億令吉。

分析
興業研究認為，上述資金可能撥作檳城購地開銷、伯樂大學學院（KDU）建築費用等。

上月，百樂園建議以6千700萬令吉向檳城發展機構收購峇都交灣的30.7英畝永久地段，將發展成為伯樂大學學院校區。

根據建議書，附加股所得資金中，除了4千萬令吉用以付還銀行貸款，餘額扣除發股開銷後，將全數充作營運資本。

還債後，百樂園負債比將從2013年12月的0.36倍減至低於0.3倍。

興業認為，股本增加數量是“適當”的，不會過於沖淡每股估值。

興業指出，檳城房產市場看俏，百樂園可望受惠，因此將重估淨資產值（RNAV）折價從55%調低至45%，並在納進附加股因素後，維持1令吉88仙目標價，仍保持“買進”評級。

週二收市，百樂園跌5仙，報1令吉65仙。（星洲日報／財經）

傳周勝忠7月上任百樂園CEO

財經18 May 2014 16:29
（吉隆坡18日訊）大馬華僑銀行（OCBC Bank）總執行長兼董事周勝忠將在6月正式離職，消息指出，他將在7月加盟百樂園（PARAMON，1724，主要板房產），接掌懸空1年的總執行長職務。

百樂園為中型房地產發展商，在吉打雙溪大年、檳城與雪蘭莪莎阿南及賽城都有地庫，同時也有教育事業，經營伯樂大學（KDU University College），高達70%營業額來自房產業務。

財經週刊《The Edge》引述消息報導，周勝忠加入百樂園一事已眾所皆知，據悉他將在7月1日正式加入百樂園。

但百樂園說，現階段無法透露任何資訊；周勝忠亦拒置評。

大馬華僑銀行上月22日宣布，周勝忠將在6月正式離職，轉往其他行業發展。

周勝忠在2003年加入大馬華僑銀行，2008年被委為總執行長兼董事，任職大馬華僑銀行11年，上任總執行長有5年。【中国报财经】

周胜忠接掌百乐园

财经新闻 财经  2014-06-01 11:06
（吉隆坡31日讯）百乐园（PARAMON，1724，主板产业股）宣布，委任周胜忠为新任总执行长，为自去年4月悬空已久的掌舵人之位找到适合人选。

百乐园发文告指出，曾担任大马华侨银行（OCBC Bank）董事兼总执行长的周胜忠，任期将从今年7月1日开始生效。

据悉，周胜忠在银行、金融及审计领域，拥有28年的经验。

他在普华永道（Pricewater houseCoopers）展开职业生涯，之后在2003年加入大马华侨银行，担任中小企业业务主管。

他在2004年担任企业银行主管，并在2008年8月受委为董事兼总执行长。

去年4月15日，百乐园原任总执行长曾世扬，毫无预警地辞职。

当时，市场传出，百乐园第二大股东———万津福兴园私人有限公司不赞成长期奖励计划（LTIP），是造成曾世扬离职的原因。【南洋网财经】

百乐园今年推3亿项目 双溪大年巴生谷4 综合计划

财经新闻 财经  2014-06-10 12:17
（吉隆坡9日讯）百乐园（PARAMON，1724，主板产业股）执行副主席拿督张昌烱指出，该公司将在今年将推出4项发展总值（GDV）达3亿令吉的新项目，推动未来业绩增长。

张昌烱结束股东常年大会和特大后表示，将于双溪大年和巴生谷，分别推出2项综合发展计划。

“首季营业额表现逊于上财年同期，因为缺乏新的产业计划，而且我们也已停止承接其他建筑工程，专注于内部工程。”

减接建筑工程

截至3月杪首季，百乐园营业额按年跌10.6%，报9877万5000令吉，但净利年增33%至，达1956万令吉。

“我对本财年整体表现有信心，因为房产需求还是很强劲，加上我们的产品符合市场需求。我认为，未来季度表现会有所改善。”

他表示，近1、2年来，已逐渐减少承接建筑工程。目前，手上仅有一项医院工程，料可在今年杪竣工。

“这是我们的方针。随着内部计划增加，建筑团队应接不暇，我们决定日后只做内部工程。”

他表示，停止承接其他工程不会有显著影响，因为比例不高。

累计投资产业建长期收入

张昌烱指出，除了住宅和商业发展计划，该公司也正在建立和累计投资产业。

“除了卖房子，我们正在建立和累计投资产业，希望这可为我们带来长期且稳定的经常收入。”

他预料，可在2016年，租金收入将开始进账。

“站在公司立场，我们都是看长远的，季度业绩变化并不代表一切。我们现在投资，都是为了永续发展和稳定长远收入。”

问及是否为产业投资信托（REITS）铺路时，他并没有否认，但表示这无法在一朝一夕完成，而且言之过早。

目前，百乐园的产业发展和建筑业务，贡献约75%营业额，教育业务则贡献25%。

威省土地收购料落实

今年3月，百乐园以6700万令吉购买了峇都加湾的30.7英亩土地，准备在此复制旗下雪州Glenmarie的Utropolis大学综合发展计划概念。

股东们也在特大中，通过了发售8445万2864股附加股，以筹资9290万令吉的建议。

张昌烱因而预测，收购活动数月内完成，并料可如期在2018年竣工。

“此外，我们也一直在搜寻合适地皮。

很快，或会落实数块在威省的土地收购，但现在不便公布详情。”

目前，公司共有750英亩地库，若上述收购活动顺利，料可增至800英亩。【南洋网财经】

前投资银行家新血加入 百乐园迈向新阶段

二零一四年七月九日 晚上七时四十分
(吉隆坡9日讯)前华侨银行（马）有限公司首席执行员兼董事周胜忠，于本月1日起走马上任成为产业与教育事业——百乐园机构有限公司（PARAMON，1724，产业组）的集团首席执行员。

市场观察员对于在商业银行处于高调的银行家，为什么会委屈在一个低调的公司令人费解。

其次，在产业或教育领域缺乏经验的周氏要怎样来振顿-百乐园机构的业务?

业者称，周氏对于加入百乐园机构感到兴趣，这是因为他与该公司副主席兼主要股东拿督赵清权（译音）为好友所致。

此外，在银行区服务逾20年的周氏，而带头挑战一些与众不同的东西。

周氏加入百乐园机构始标志着公司的增长步入新的阶段。与他一起加盟该公司人士，尚有毅成机构有限公司的马春忠（译音）受委为百乐园机构产业组的副区域首席执行员，至于黄苏珊乃受委为伯乐学院八打灵再也的首席执行员，以及兼任伯乐大学学院与伯乐学院八打灵再也的首席市场执行员。

据一名分析师称，周氏是一个促销公司“愿景和抱负”的最恰当人选。

据一名观察员称：“一名银行家加盟产业公司并不是一件新鲜的事，我们的一些最强的物业公司是由银行家开始。他们包括实达集团有限公司（SPSETIA，8664，产业组）丹斯里刘启盛和阳光集团拿督童贵旺。”

毫无疑问实达的品牌在房地产行业是最强，刘氏是一名前投资银行家，在他策划下于1996年在一项倒置收购中收购了实达集团，并在他英明领导下，使到该公司成为大马其中一间最赚钱的产业公司。

前身为分析师与银行家的童贵旺，在2011年通过其产业公司阳光有限公司创造了Mont'Kiara公寓的这强大品牌声名大振，他于事后以14亿令吉价格将阳光卖给UEM置地控股。

一名分析师评论称：“最重要的是基本没有问题。它已经是一个有利可图与运作良好的公司。它现在需要一些新血的加入，一些创造力和更多的市场。”

他补充称：“周氏与百乐园机构是熟悉的，他们是有一个工作关系，去年有3间银行协助百乐园发行两项高达5亿5000万令吉的私人债务，华侨银行便是其中的一间银行。”

分析师称：“鉴于他在帮助该公司发行债务时所扮演的主要角色，他必须对公司的一些深入的了解。他非常适合将公司出售的“愿景和抱负”，他是最恰当人选。”

目前，有鉴于该公司的股票交易每天不到百万股，由于考虑到它拥有70亿令吉总发展价值，该公司拥有的市值5亿3700万令吉是微薄的。

兴业研究行分析师梁国文（译音）在一项投资报告中称，该公司于6月份成立的完整管理层，公司会有能力释放其地库的价值。

该公司股价今日午余时落3仙挂1.51令吉，有43万8000股易手。【光华日报财经】

產業和教育報捷‧百樂園次季淨利猛漲70%

2014-08-15 11:21      
（吉隆坡14日訊）產業和教育業務雙雙向晴，推動百樂園（PARAMON,1724,主板產業組）截至2014年6月30日止第二季淨利按年猛漲70.15%，上半年淨利也走高至3千774萬1千令吉，按年揚46.39%。

不過，第二季營業額按年下滑6.51%至1億3千324萬1千令吉，上半年營業額則萎縮8.29%至2億3千201萬6千令吉。

派息2.5仙

另外，百樂園也建議派發每股2.5仙股息，8月28日除權。

該公司董事部透過文告說，上半年營業額下滑，主要因產業部門開始放棄外部建築工作，把焦點放在內部，產業和教育業務分別在第二季取得21%和12%營業額成長率。

展望未來，董事部認為在可觀鎖定銷售額和安排中產業項目的支持下，產業部門料能保持良好表現，而這將連帶讓建築部門受惠。

“教育業務方面則繼續充滿挑戰，大馬教育全球服務（EMGS）課題、積極促銷和獎學金等繼續在高教市場盛行，中小學市場則繼續面對新業者、產能過剩和積極折扣等問題挑戰。”

董事部相信旗下中小學教育業務的強勁價值定位和品牌聲譽，料繼續支持教育業務取得良好表現；高教業務方面，董事部表示過去數月落實的一些策略已開始出現效果，搬遷至新校院雖將提昇短期營運成本和壓抑賺幅，卻強化長期持續性。

整體而言，排除不可預見狀況，董事部預計集團將繼續在今年裡表現良好。（星洲日報／財經）
