<strong>Boustead</strong> <strong>Holdings</strong> <strong>Berhad</strong><br />

2009 Annual Report<br />

TRADING DIVISION<br />

In spite of the tough economic conditions, the<br />

Trading Division registered a strong profit of RM47<br />

million compared with a loss of RM13 million<br />

previously. This turnaround was mainly due to solid<br />

contributions from <strong>Boustead</strong> Petroleum Marketing<br />

Sdn Bhd and <strong>Boustead</strong> Engineering Sdn Bhd.<br />

<strong>Boustead</strong> Petroleum Marketing Sdn Bhd (BH<br />

Petrol) ended the year with a profit of RM52<br />

million, compared with a nominal profit prior year.<br />

The positive result is a reflection of our effort to<br />

optimise cost structures and at the same time<br />

achieve volume growth. Inventory holding gains also<br />

led to an increase in our operating margin.<br />
