KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 26): Sarawak Oil Palms Bhd’s (SOP) net profit surged to RM32.9 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, from RM1.2 million in the previous corresponding quarter.

Revenue doubled to RM655.35 million, from RM313.99 million in the same quarter last year.

In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the plantation firm principally attributed its stellar net profit to improved realised prices for palm products, increase in palm products sold and larger fresh fruit bunch production from plantation estates.

Meanwhile, the quarterly earnings in the previous corresponding quarter was dragged down by losses from subsidiaries having young mature areas that had eaten into the group's margin, according to previous announcement. 

For the half-year period, net profit chalked RM66.6 million versus RM22.2 million in the previous period, while revenue generated RM1.202 billion against RM741 million from a year earlier.

On prospects ahead, SOP said its performance would continue to be driven by the palm products price movement.

It added that this in turn was dependent on the world edible oil market, movement of the ringgit and economic situation.
