First Resources’ net profit slipped 38.5% to $36.9m in Q1
Due to lower palm oil prices.
First Resources reported that its net profit slipped 38.5% year-on-year to $36.9m (US$27.7m) in the first quarter.
The decline was blamed on lower average selling prices and sales volumes of palm based products, with the group’s sales plunging 45.9% to $128.3m (US$96.3m).
The overall decline in sales volumes was mainly due to lower purchases of palm oil products, a net build-up in inventory, as well as slowing down of processing activities at the Group’s refinery, fractionation and biodiesel plants.
