Most of the other businesses also recorded growth in revenue. The Group recorded 2% marginally lower profit before tax of RM732 million compared with RM748 million in the same period last year due mainly to lower profit contribution from PPB’s associate, Wilmar International Limited (Wilmar) of RM443 million against RM546 million previously. Profit for the period under review reduced to RM658.1 million compared with RM711.2 million in 2013.
