KUALA LUMPUR: IOI CORPORATION BHD [] net profit for the first quarter ended Sept 30, 2010 rose 4.12% to RM498.13 million from RM478.38 million a year ago, due mainly to higher profit contribution from the PLANTATION [] segment and higher unrealised translation gain on foreign currency denominated borrowings.

The company recorded revenue RM3.52 billion for the quarter, compared to RM3.26 billion last year. Earnings per share was 7.81 sen, while net assets per share was RM1.65.

In a filing to Bursa Malaysia on Thursday, Nov 18,''IOI Corp said the plantation segment reported a 38% increase in operating profit to RM345.3 million for Q1FY2011 as compared to RM249.8 million for Q1 FY2010.

The higher profit was due mainly to higher CPO prices realised as well as a marginal increase in FFB production, it said.

Average CPO price realised for Q1 FY2011 is RM2,598/MT compared to RM2,294/MT for Q1 FY2010, it said,

IOI Corp said its property development and investment segment's operating profit of RM160.3 million for Q1

FY2011 was in line with Q1 FY2010.

The resource-based manufacturing segment's operating profit decreased from RM158.9 million in Q1FY2010 to RM40.4 million in Q1 FY2011 due mainly to lower volume and margins and fair value losses on the adoption of FRS 139, it said.
