Inability to raise prices crimped profits. PATAMI of RM165.7m was 6.7%
lower YoY, but there was RM20m once off cost (we estimate) relating to
the disposal of Save More business unit. Excluding this item, core net
income of RM187.7m (+4.6% YoY) was slightly ahead of our expectations of
RM180m. Business outlook is expected to perform well in 2012 as prices
of raw rice has receded and Bernas will no longer bare loss making unit.
Maintain Hold with unchanged target price of RM3.40/share based on DDM.
