For 2025, group is focused on earnings recovery, expecting 5% growth in FFB production and explores new revenue streams, looking at coconut plantations.


Past performance:
FY 2023: record breaking performance
FY 2024: slight decline
FY 2025: Capex projected at RM 60mm, for upgrading mill equipment and replanting efforts. Additional USD 80m formconstruction of new mill in Sarawak over the next 2-3 years.
Dividend policy: targets 30% profit distribution, in recent years this has consistently paid out over 80%. FY24, dividend payout slightly reduced in keeping with earning pressure.

Plantation Operations:
Replanting about 1000 ha per year over the next 5 years
Striving to increase production to 350k tonnes from estimated 330k tonnes in FY24.
The three biogas plants, now provide excess power to the grid for some additional revenue, though the impack on profitability may not be substantial.

FFP Production Growth
FY 2025: projected a %% increase in FFB production growth. and hopeful the volatile CPO prices stabilise and averaging at RM 4000 / tonnes. Rising cost environment poses tremendous challenges. New revenue streams from selling palm shells to 3rd parties, and frommits solvent extraction plants, helped counterbalance the increased expenses.

Expansion & Land Acquisition
Challenges faced are high land prices and ESG restrictions.
Group is exploring coconut plantation, in experimental stage, as a potential area for growth and earnings diversification.
Carbon credits market, particularly for its plantations, could provide an additional revenue stream

Renewable Energy & Future Plans
Supply electricity from its biogas plants to Tenaga.
Exploring solar farm prunects on its plantation land, but may not be feasible, due to the remote locations of the group's properties.

VALUATION
TP RM 2.50/share, based on CY25 PER OF 16X.
Due to LIMITED UPSIDE POTENTIALS at current price level, TA Research downgrade KIMLoong from Buy to HOLD.
