KUALA LUMPUR, May 20 ― Sime Darby Plantation Bhd posted a higher net profit of RM718 million in the first quarter ended March 31, 2022 from RM562 million in the same period last year.In a filing with Bursa Malaysia today, the plantation company said the performance was driven by higher crude palm oil and palm kernel prices in the upstream segment and improved downstream performance.
“PBIT from the downstream sector increased to RM132 million in the current quarter mainly due to higher margins generated by the Asia Pacific bulk operations which benefited from Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil premiums on crude palm kernel oil sales, mitigating lower sales volumes and margins in Asia Pacific differentiated and European operations,” it said.
