THP Group's FFB production fell short by 4.7% to 20.58 MT per Ha from the targeted FFB yield of 21.60 MT per Ha mainly due to unfavourable weather patterns of hot and dry conditions from El Nino phenomena in the first half year and excessive rainfalls from La Nina phenomena experienced in the second half of the year.

Commentary of Headline KPIs

1. We will diligently stay focus on a multi-pronged strategy involving Good Agriculture & Milling Practices and accelerating our replanting with improved high-yielding planting materials. A strong Research & Development team coupled with reliable support management would also ensure a sustainable and balanced growth.

2. It is the policy of THP's Directors in recommending dividends to allow shareholders to participate in the profits of THP Group as well as retaining adequate reserves for the future growth of THP Group.

THP will take into consideration among others the Group's level of cash, gearing, return on equity, retained earnings, the availability of tax credits to frank dividends, projected level of capital expenditure, investment plans and its financial position in recommending and determining the level of dividend payments if any, in any particular financial year or period.
