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.

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.
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.

  • 3. 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. 3 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.
