Despite the subdued CPO price for the majority of 2019, our Earnings before Interest, Taxation, Depreciation, and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) has improved by 85% to RM50.1 million as compared to 2018 of RM27.1 million. Concurrently, our Loss Before Taxation has shrank by 63% to RM68.8 million as compared to 2018 of RM184.1 million, in spite of notching a 16% drop in revenue.
