DJ Malaysia's Petronas Posts 21% Drop in 4Q Net Profit

Petroliam Nasional Bhd. or Petronas, Malaysia's national oil company, Friday said its net profit in the fourth quarter dropped 21% from year ago, mainly due to higher product costs, depreciation and amortization.

Net profit for the October-December period declined to 14.32 billion ringgit (US$3.5 billion) from MYR18.21 billion the same quarter a year ago, the company said in its financial statement.

Quarterly revenue, however, rose 13% to MYR69.90 billion ringgit from MYR61.79 billion a year earlier, mainly due to impact of higher average realized prices for all of its key products, according to notes accompanying the financial statement.
