History  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  Amway  Malaysia  started  its  distribution  services  in  1976  with  only  five  staffs  in  a  small  

office  and  warehouse  facility  in  Jalan  Ipoh.  In  that  year,  Amway  Malaysia  was  one  of  the  

earliest  direct  selling  industries  in  the  country.    

 

AMWAY  Malaysia  was  the  first  direct  selling  company  to  be  listed  on  the  Main  Board  of  

the  Kuala  Lumpur  Stock  Exchange  in  1996.  On  the  other  hand,  the  Ministry  of  Domestic  

Cooperatives  and  Consumerism  awarded  a  10-­‐year  Direct  Selling  License  AMWAY  

Malaysia  in  2010,  being  the  first  to  achieve  this  feat.    

 

Recent  Developments  One  of  the  most  recent  developments  by  AMWAY  Malaysia  is  the  new  smartphone  

application  create  by  them,  which  is  called  ‘AMWAY  Central  App’.  The  main  function  of  

the  application  is  to  provide  updates  and  tools  of  AMWAY  products.  For  example,  for  

AMWAY  users  that  owns  an  eSpring,  which  is  a  water  filtration  system  by  AMWAY,  the  

application  provides  tips  for  the  users  to  maintain  the  functioning  of  their  eSpring  

system  and  to  also  enhance  the  knowledge  of  users  to  know  the  importance  of  clean  

water  and  share  it  with  others  that  does  not  own  an  eSpring  yet.    

 

AMWAY  Malaysia  will  also  be  celebrating  the  Amway  Universal  Children's  Day  on  20th  

November  2013,  having  to  launch  the  AMWAY  One  By  One  campaign  back  in  2003.  

Through  the  campaign,  many  of  AMWAY's  distributors  and  employees  have  travelled  to  

over  50  countries  where  the  children  are  in  need  of  help.  They  have  conducted  over  300  

projects  to  brighten  the  children's  future  by  building  homes  for  them,  giving  them  free  

education  and  all  physiological  needs.

ROE  has  decreased  from  47.4%  to  47.2%  during  2012  to  2013  period.  This  means  that  

the  owner  is  simply  getting  less  return  from  his/her  capital  than  last  year.

Price/Earning  (P/E)  Ratio  Share  price  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  as  at  12th  November  2014:  RM  11.560  

Earnings  per  share  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  as  at  12th  November  2014:  RM  0.64  

 

P/E  Ratio=  !"  !!.!"!"  !.!"

 

                               =  18.06  times    

Interpretation:  As  it  can  be  seen  from  the  P/E  ratio  calculated  above,  the  outcome  is  

18.06  times.  This  means  that  the  share  price  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  is  high  and  if  an  

investor  purchases  the  share  of  AMWAY  Malaysia,  he  would  have  to  wait  for  18  years  to  

recoup  his  investment.  

 

Investment  Recommendation  Based  on  the  profitability  ratios  calculated,  most  of  the  ratios  have  good  outcomes  and  it  

has  improved  during  the  2012-­‐2013  period,  except  for  the  return  on  equity,  where  the  

shareholder  is  getting  less  from  his  capital.  Looking  at  the  other  ratios,  such  as  the  net  

profit  margin,  gross  profit  margin,  selling  expenses  ratio  and  general  expenses  ratio,  the  

overall  profitability  ratio  seems  to  be  stable  and  the  shareholder  are  benefiting  based  

on  the  calculation  of  the  ratios.    

 

As  for  the  stability  ratios  on  the  other  hand,  the  calculation  shows  that  there  are  good  

outcomes  of  the  working  capital,  total  debt  as  well  as  the  stock  turnover.  All  of  the  

outcomes  are  getting  better  during  the  2012-­‐2013  period.  Based  on  both  the  

profitability  ratios  and  the  stability  ratios,  it  can  be  seen  that  AMWAY  Malaysia  has  not  

made  much  loss  during  the  2012-­‐2013  period.    

 

Finally,  the  share  price  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  seems  to  be  high  at  RM  11.56.  The  earnings  

per  share  are  also  considered  low.  Having  a  high  share  price  and  low  earnings  per  share  

can  result  in  a  high  P/E  ratio.  The  current  P/E  ratio  of  AMWAY  Malaysia  is  18.06  times.  

If  an  investor  were  to  purchase  the  shares  of  AMWAY  Malaysia,  he  would  have  to  wait  

for  18  years  to  recoup  his  investment.  A  conservative  investor  would  purchase  a  share  

with  a  P/E  ratio  of  15  times  or  less.    

Page 13: Basic accounting assignment

  13  

In  conclusion,  an  investment  in  AMWAY  Malaysia  doesn't  look  as  bad  as  it  is  because  

overall  the  company  is  doing  very  well  year  by  year  and  they  always  strive  to  improve  

every  period.  The  stability  ratios  and  profitabilty  ratios  has  proved  it.  The  biggest  

downside  of  investing  in  AMWAY  Malaysia  is  to  have  a  high  P/E  ratio.  Overall,  we  would  

not  recommend    an  investment  in  AMWAY  Malaysia  because  the  share  price  is  high,  

which  makes  the  P/E  ratio  too  high  for  a  good  investment.
