CHANGE OF OPERATING RESULTS
Ref. T. 19/2000 29 February 2000
To: The President
The Stock Exchange of Thailand
Re: Change of Operating Results
BJC notifies net income for the fourth quarter of 1999 was Baht 170.2 million, a
13.5 percent decrease from the comparative quarter in 1998. Sales revenues
grew by 14.0 percent to Baht 2,900 million, with the core businesses of
Packaging, Consumer Products and Technical Products all registering sales
revenue increases. The Group's gross margin for the quarter was 26.2 percent, a
slight decrease from that of the comparative quarter in 1998, affected by rising
raw material costs in the Packaging and Consumer Products businesses. Net
income for the fourth quarter of 1998 was positively affected by investment
disposal proceeds of Baht 57.4 million post tax. Absent this factor, net income
would have risen 22.2 percent between 1999 and 1998.
Yours faithfully,
BERLI JUCKER PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED
David John Nicol
President
