SD Guthrie posts earnings jump in 1H to RM1.07bil
SD Guthrie group managing director Datuk Mohamad Helmy Othman Basha KUALA LUMPUR: The crude palm oil (CPO) price is expected to remain volatile in the second half of the year amid the ongoing volatility of the global economic and operating environment, said SD Guthrie Bhd in its outlook for the remainder of the year The group, formerly known as Sime Darby Plantations, said the industry is entering its peak output cycle, supported by improved weather conditions, softer biodiesel demand amidst the low crude oil price environment, and the ongoing global macroeconomic uncertainty. "Whilst the price discount of palm oil relative to other vegetable oils is likely to support stronger demand from key markets, persistent macroeconomic headwinds, coupled with uncertainties in the global trade environment following the US' revised tariff measures, are adding further volatility to the overall operating environment," it said in a statement. The group anticipates its fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production to improve in the second half of the year, supported by better operating conditions as well as productivity enhancement efforts across our operations in Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands. In the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, SD Guthrie posted a net profit of RM505mil, up from RM415mil in the year-ago quarter, which translates to a higher earnings per share of 7.3 sen against six sen previously. The group reported revenue of RM5.17bil compared to RM4.97bil in 2QFY24. Over the six-month period, net profit came to RM1.07bil against RM626mil in 1HFY24, while revenue rose to RM9.99bil from RM9.31bil in the year-ago period. 'The group's performance in this period bears testament to our robust strategy and disciplined execution, as we continue to prioritise operational excellence. Even as our core business segments regain momentum, the new and expanded strategic focus to pursue broader growth initiatives is starting to take shape," said group managing director Datuk Mohamad Helmy Othman Basha. The group declared an interim dividend of 7.75 sen per share, with ex-date on Oct 16, 2025, and payable on Oct 31, 2025. SD Guthrie noted an impressive performance its upstream segment in 1H25, as it benefited from higher year-on-year average realised CPO and palm kernel (PK) prices - up 3% and 50% y-o-y to RM4,146 and RM3,247 per tonne respectively. The group's fresh fruit bunch (FFB) production was higher across segments for a 4% increase overall. However, SD Guthrie's downstream segment registered a 44% y-o-y slump in pre-tax profit in 2QFY25 to RM126mil amid a challenging business landscape. The group said operations across Asia Pacific and Europe were impacted by lower demand and tighter margins. However, encouraging performance was achieved in Oceania which recorded commendable operating profits with higher sales volumes and margins.

Anwar: Malaysia to continue mediating Cambodia-Thailand talks
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia will continue playing a key role in facilitating peace and coordination between Cambodia and Thailand amid ongoing border tensions, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Speaking to reporters after the Budget 2026 consultation session here, today, Anwar said both countries' defence ministers met with him earlier and expressed their commitment to uphold a ceasefire agreement. 'Alhamdulillah, they want Malaysia to continue coordinating. 'Both sides have given their commitment to observe the terms and maintain the ceasefire,' he said. Anwar added that while minor issues still persist, they can be resolved amicably. Asean defence attachés are expected to be involved, but a full-scale Asean intervention is not required at this stage. 'This remains a bilateral matter between Cambodia and Thailand, with Malaysia helping to coordinate. 'China and the US have offered logistical assistance, but they are not directly involved in border monitoring,' he said. When asked why both countries were able to reach an initial agreement, Anwar said the ceasefire alone marked meaningful progress. 'These border disputes go back hundreds of years. What's important is that differing views don't necessarily lead to tension. 'As a maritime nation, Malaysia too has had disagreements with its neighbours, but that has never stopped us from maintaining close and friendly ties,' he said. On Tuesday, Anwar said talks to resolve the border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia are expected to conclude by Thursday. The two countries had previously agreed to an unconditional and immediate ceasefire during a special meeting in Putrajaya on July 28, which was chaired by Anwar himself.

Miti: Malaysia's solar panel exports hit RM11.2b in 2024, India takes bigger slice
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 7 — Malaysia recorded an 88 per cent increase in photovoltaic (PV) cell exports to India valued at RM4.65 billion in 2024 versus RM2.47 billion in 2023, said the Investment, Trade and Industry (Miti). In a written reply on the Dewan Rakyat portal, Miti said through the Malaysia International Halal Showcase's (Mihas) Greentech category and the involvement of local solar companies, Malaysia has also identified the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia as potential export markets. This is to counter the decline in PV cell exports to the United States (US) market, it said. 'Miti acknowledges that the US is the largest market for PV cells. Exports to the US started to decline even before it introduced 'reciprocal tariffs. The decline started when the US ended the solar product tax exemption for South-east Asian countries in June 2024. 'The US had granted tax exemptions for solar PV cell imports from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam from June 7, 2022, to June 6, 2024, to boost its solar industry,' Miti said in respond to a question from Datuk Seri Sh Mohmed Puzi Sh Ali (BN-Pekan) on the latest export figures and the main importing countries of solar panels from Malaysia. He also asked what measures the ministry is taking to ensure that export volume and revenue of local solar manufacturers are not severely affected if the US imposes import tariffs on solar panel products. Based on Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade) data, 2024 PV cell exports in the form of modules and panels totalled RM11.2 billion. Of this, RM5.05 billion, or 45 per cent, was exported to the US; RM3.69 billion, or 33 per cent to India; RM1.34 billion or 12 per cent to Vietnam, and the remaining 10 per cent to Pakistan, Ukraine, Türkiye, the Philippines, South Korea and Argentina. Miti has also held several engagement sessions with related ministries such as the Finance Ministry and the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Ministry to introduce policies that support the local industry, such as a localisation policy by setting quotas for local goods in domestic projects. — Bernama
