Kuala Lumpur, 20 February 2009 – Although exports around the region took a beating in the fourth quarter (4Q) of 2008, Main Board listed BP Plastics Holding Bhd (BPPLAS) announced today that the company achieved a cumulative revenue of RM233.34mil and net profit of RM11.74mil.

“I see our result as a monumental feat taking into account the adversely affected market, major trading partners succumbing to negative economic pressures and the high rate of unemployment which generally slows demand of goods in the international arena,” said Lim Chun Yow, Chairman and Managing Director of BPPLAS.

Overall, the group’s total cumulative 4Q revenue ended December 2008 still improved by 14%, although net profit declined slightly by 0.85% in comparison to the cumulative 4Q in 2007.

Lim added that BPPLAS is also declaring a one-time first and final dividend of 4% tax exempted at RM0.02 per share for its investors.

With projected outlook for 2009 being sluggish with major trading nations experiencing drastic contractions in exports and imports, the company is taking extra measures such as constant stock and inventory reviews, minimisation of operating costs to combat the soft market and ensure profitability in financial year 2009.
