My notes based on 2011 quarter 4 report (number in '000):-
- Plantation division registered a 56% increase in profit due to the better average crude palm oil (CPO) price realised of RM2,906 per tonne coupled with the higher fresh fruit bunches (FFB) production and offset by the lower oil extraction rate

- Overall the Group’s FFB yield at 21.5 MT was higher compared to that in the prior year of 20.6 MT. The higher FFB yield was mainly driven by higher production in Indonesia attributable to the additional hectarage coming into maturity

- Downstream operations however registered a loss of RM74.6 million largely due to the impairment provision for biodiesel and bioganic assets of RM114.0 million and the thin refining margins caused by the narrowing price spread between CPO and refined products

- Property division’s contribution fell by 8% primarily due to the slower off-take of certain products, deferment in project launches, write off of project costs of RM19.7 and impairment of overseas properties of RM77.7 million

- Industrial division achieved a commendable performance of RM1,068.0 million which is an increase of 41% from that of the previous financial year. This was achieved on the back of strong sales in Australia/ Pacific Islands, China and Malaysia and better price realisations

- Motors Division posted a 64% jump in contribution due to the strong and sustained demand across all regions, and particularly due to the demand generated by new models produced by BMW, Hyundai and Ford during the financial year

- Energy & Utilities recorded positive turnaround was largely due to the RM98.5 million provision write-back following the Close-Out Agreement with Maersk Oil Qatar and better earnings from the Port and Water operations in China

- The results from Healthcare increased by 19% mainly due to the higher turnover, additional revenue stream from management consultancy services in Vietnam and increased number of student intake in the education sector

- Other businesses suffered a loss due largely to the impairment provisions made on an available-for-sale investment and assets totaling RM79.1 million and the lower returns from the insurance sector

- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q4 result announced = 0.6098*1.1 = 0.6708, estimate PE on current price 8.05 = 11.55(DPS 0.11)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q3 result announced = (0.146+0.1365)*2 = 0.565, estimate highest/lowest PE = 16.27/14.94 (DPS 0.11)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q2 result announced = (0.146+0.1089)*2 = 0.5098(cpo price decreasing but offset by contracts awarded), estimate highest/lowest PE = 18.22/17.01 (DPS 0.11)
- Estimate next 4Q eps after 2011 Q1 result announced = 0.1271*4*1.1 = 0.5592(ROE 3.5% per quarter with condition CPO price continue maintain high), estimate highest/lowest PE = 16.79/15.22 (DPS 0.1)
