British American Tobacco declares 78 sen dividend; 4Q profit lower at RM189.9m

British American Tobacco (Malaysia) Bhd’s net profit ended Dec 31, 2013 fell 3.9% to RM189.93mil from RM197.78mil a year ago.

In a Bursa Malaysia filing on Wednesday, the group said its revenue fell 0.04% to RM1.0934bil from RM1.0939bil a year ago while earnings per share for the quarter stood lower at 66.2 sen from 68.9 sen a year ago.

The group has declared a 78 sen dividend for the quarter.

For its full year, the group’s earnings rose 3.42% to RM825.77 mil from RM798.39mil a year ago.

Revenue was up 3.5% to RM4.517bil from RM4.364bil a year ago while earnings per share stood at 288.4 sen from 279.4 sen a year ago.

The group said its growth in profit was due to export volume increase and operating cost savings, whilst the domestic market income has been impacted by on-year volume decline.

“Following the steep increase in excise in September 2013, the 2014 outlook for domestic volume is a higher rate of decline than experienced in recent years,” it said.

The group said it remains cautious for the year ahead.

BAT Malaysia reverts to pre-Sept 8 prices for all cigarettes

Its Managing Director Stefano Clini said the move was for the tobacco player to remain “competitive”.

"Our last price increase (by RM1 per pack of 20s) was to alleviate mounting inflationary cost pressure amplified by progressive loss of legal domestic volumes over the years to illegal trade, decline in contract manufacturing volume, and an overall very competitive trade and distribution channels,” he said in a statement today.

“However, in order to remain competitive, we have decided to revert to our prices before Sept 8,” he added.
