Message From the

CHAIRMAN
Dear Stakeholders,
There was much to be positive about Kulim (Malaysia) Berhads
(Kulim or The Group) performance, not withstanding a
challenging operating environment for the financial year ended 31
December 2014 (FY 2014). The Group recorded revenue of
RM1.09 billion and Profit Before Tax (PBT) of RM95.5 million,
despite lower palm oil product prices and volatility in the
commodities market. Consistent with our policy of rewarding
shareholders, an interim dividend of 9.5 sen per share totaling to
RM126.11 million in respect of FY 2014 was paid on 29 December
2014.
