FINANCIAL OVERVIEW 2020 was an unprecedented year fraught with uncertainty and volatility as the world battles the widespread pandemic caused by Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”), which resulted in a slowdown in many economies and industries globally. In Malaysia, the domestic economy was severely affected by a nationwide Movement Control Order (“MCO”) and the necessary measures taken to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The MCO had temporarily disrupted some of our Group’s operations but thankfully, this was quickly lifted for the upstream and downstream operations of the palm oil industry, which is regarded as an essential sector. The uncertainties in the global economy brought on by the pandemic led to significant volatility in crude palm oil (“CPO”) prices over the course of the year. CPO prices had started the year strongly at above the RM3,000 per metric tonne (“mt”) mark but soon began experiencing a pullback as demand uncertainties surfaced due to the pandemic in major importing countries. After falling to a low of RM2,021 per mt in early May 2020, CPO prices started recovering swiftly during the second half of 2020 to end the year on a high note at RM3,788 per mt, hitting levels not seen since 2011. This was mainly aided by the tight supply situation of palm oil and its substitutes as well as the recovery in demand from major consuming countries, especially China and India, following the reopening of global economic sectors. Ultimately, the market dynamics that prevailed in 2020 resulted in palm product selling prices averaging for the full year at considerably higher levels compared to the previous year amid a decline in Malaysian palm oil stockpiles. Our Group’s average CPO price achieved for the year rose 23% to RM2,511 per mt from RM2,048 per mt in 2019. Likewise, the average palm kernel price achieved was 29% higher at RM1,519 per mt compared to RM1,179 per mt in the previous year. The positive undertone for CPO prices proved to be a decisive factor for our Group’s financial performance in 2020, where we reported a 10% increase in revenue to RM2.5 billion for the year while pre-tax profit rose 74% to RM323.2 million. CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT 03 OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE opening of new luxury brand stores such as Burberry, Fendi and Steve Madden. For our mainstay Plantation Division, total fresh fruit bunch (“FFB”) production for 2020 saw a decline of 5% year- Meanwhile, our Biotechnology Division continues to strive on-year, mainly owing to the lagged effect of dry weather in delivering value through its genomics research and conditions in 2019. Consequently, the Group’s FFB yield development (“R&D”) of high yielding planting materials also declined to 17.9 mt per hectare compared to the 18.5 and microbial solutions. mt per hectare recorded in the previous year. DIVIDENDS In December 2020, the Group expanded our processing capacities following the commissioning of our fifth palm oil Our Group recognises that the sharing of financial success mill in Indonesia.

In this regard, the Board of Directors has recommended 2020 saw our Group’s Downstream Manufacturing Division a final single-tier dividend of 4.0 sen per ordinary share operating in a tough environment for the greater part of for the 2020 financial year. The Board has also declared a the year, where the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic special single-tier dividend of 11.0 sen per ordinary share. in the first half of 2020 had devastating effects on demand If approved by shareholders at the coming Annual General in key importing countries.

In comparison, the total dividend paid out for the These factors led to lower sales, and correspondingly lower 2019 financial year amounted to 13.0 sen per ordinary capacity utilisation during the year for both the refinery share, equivalent to a payout ratio of 82%. and biodiesel plants. LOOKING FORWARD Having to contend with lacklustre demand since 2019, the property market in Malaysia was dealt with yet another As the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic continued to rage blow in 2020 as the outbreak of the pandemic led to an on particularly on the home front, we maintain a cautious even more cautious investor sentiment. outlook for 2021.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: August 8, 2015 Accepted: January 18, 2016 Online Published: February 23, 2016 doi:10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5539/ass.v12n3p14 Abstract This study investigates the relationships between financial hegemony groups, global diversification strategies and firm value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies listed in FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Series during 2009 to 2012 period. We chose Malaysia as an ideal setting because the findings contribute to the phenomenon of the diversification–performance relationship in the Southeast Asian countries. We apply hegemony stability theory to explain the importance of financial hegemony groups in deciding international locations for operations. By using panel data analysis, we find that financial hegemony groups are significantly important in international location decisions. Results reveal that the stability of financial hegemony in BRICS and G7 groups enhances the financial value of the Malaysia’s 30 largest companies, whereas the stability of financial hegemony in ASEAN groups is able to enhance the non-financial value of the firms.

  • PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release GENTING
    Registration No. 196801000315 (7916-A) PRESS RELEASE For Immediate Release GENTING BERHAD ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 KUALA LUMPUR, 25 FEBRUARY 2021 - Genting Berhad today announced its financial results for the fourth quarter (“4Q20”) and full year (“FY2020”) ended 31 December 2020. Revenue of the Group in 4Q20 of RM3,048.1 million represented a decline of 8% compared with revenue of RM3,298.8 million recorded in third quarter of 2020 (“3Q20”). Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”) however improved to RM1,175.7 million in 4Q20 compared with RM1,095.3 million in 3Q20 mainly due to the Leisure & Hospitality Division and Plantation Division. The improvement in EBITDA of the Leisure & Hospitality Division was mainly due to Resorts World Sentosa (“RWS”) as it rolled out a series of attractive packages and specially curated staycation experiences whilst the increased EBITDA from the leisure and hospitality businesses in United States of America (“US”) and Bahamas was mainly due to higher volume of business recorded following the resumption of Resorts World Casino New York City (“RWNYC”) operations in early September 2020. The Plantation Division’s EBITDA increased in 4Q20 on the back of higher fresh fruit bunches (“FFB”) production and better palm product selling prices. In comparison with the previous year’s corresponding quarter (“4Q19”), the Group revenue declined by 43% from RM5,303.0 million to RM3,048.1 million. The main contributor to the lower revenue was the Leisure & Hospitality Division. Revenue and EBITDA of RWS was lower than that of 4Q19 as it was impacted by regulatory restrictions, border closures and operating capacity due to the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
