消费工业销售推动
味之素下半年业绩更佳

2017年12月7日
（吉隆坡6日讯）次季净利大涨38%的味之素（AJI，2658，主板消费产品股）表示，有信心在3月31日截止的2018财年的下半年的表现会更佳。

董事经理兼总执行长山本直子，今日在汇报会上向媒体指出，2017财年全年营业额有望胜过去年。

“我们有信心，可录得较上财年更高的营业额。”

截至九月杪的第二季度，该公司净利增至1652万2000令吉，较去年同季的1201万3000令吉佳。营业额则年增16.22%至1亿1542万令吉，归功于消费者和工业业务销售的提升。

不过，累计首九个月，公司净利稍微下滑2.26%至2440万令吉；营业额则扬6.98%至1亿9802万令吉。

山本直子指出，双业务的销售将继续推动盈利增长；展望未来，公司也专注降低成本。

另外，她透露，公司也在计划多元化产品种类，希望可在未来两财年内推出。

“在泰国、越南和印尼的业务，已经进行相似计划，因此，大马也可从中参考学习。”

扩充中东业务

目前，国内销售贡献了味之素75%的营业额，而中东地区（以沙地阿拉伯为主）的出口销售，则占营收的四分之一。山本直子称，公司意欲扩充中东业务。

“我们在中东市场有优势，因为公司的产品有清真认证。味之素将会在该区继续扩展。”【e南洋】

味之素8608万买地建厂

2018年2月13日
（吉隆坡12日讯）味之素（AJI，2658，主板消费产品股）砸下8607万令吉，购入位于森美兰芙蓉的土地，面积近203万117平方尺（约188.6公顷），以建设新厂房来提高产能。

味之素今天向大马交易所报备，该公司于本月12日，与朝圣基金局和THP Enstek发展私人有限公司，达成买卖协议，向后两者购买上述永久地契土地。

该土地占地203万116.58平方尺，买价为8607万6943令吉，或每平方尺42.4令吉，由现有资金完成支付。

经独立估价师Messrs Jordan Lee & Jaafar私人有限公司估算，截至本月6日，其土地市值为每平方尺41令吉。

味之素指出，上述土地收购符合该公司长期发展计划，扩大制造设备规模，以满足市场日益增加对旗下产品的需求。

加强供应产品效率

据文告，味之素打算在新购土地上盖新制造厂房，料能加强供应产品的效率。相关发展成本，预计通过内部集资或贷款完成。

不过，现阶段仍处在初步规划，还未确定总发展成本和新购制造设备的开销数额。

受上述正面业务发展消息带动，味之素今早高开18仙，于19.80令吉开盘，盘中涨至19.98令吉。【e南洋】

溢价账户纳入缴足资本　味之素无意拆细送红股

財经 最后更新 2018年08月27日 22时40分
（吉隆坡27日讯）味之素（AJI，2658，主板消费股）表示，公司不打算將股票溢价账户（Share Premium Account）的结存用作派送红股，同时也没有计划进行附加股和分拆股票，以提高流通量；相反，该公司已將股票溢价账户內的款项纳入缴足资本。

一名不愿具名的小股东今天出席股东大会后，向《东方財经》引述味之素管理层在大会上回应股东提问时，如是指出。

根据2018年报，味之素的股票溢价账户有430万3700令吉，將之纳入缴足资本后， 其缴足资本提高至6 5 10万2 2 34令吉。

目前， 母公司味之素株式会社（Ajinomoto Co）持有50.38%的控制权。

该名小股东表示，管理层在大会上针对令吉兑美元匯率走低的课题时指出，公司已对80%作为销售和採购原材料所需的外匯进行对冲，因此匯率波动对公司影响不大。

此外，儘管小股东在大会上多次询问管理层关于新厂房的发展期限和成本，但管理层以买卖协议尚未完成为由，不愿透露更多详情。

今年2月12日，味之素宣佈斥资8607万6943令吉，在森美兰恩思特高科技工业园收购一片土地，以建设新厂房，以及其他相关设施和物流设施。【东方网财经】

http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/次季费用增加-味之素净利跌6

（吉隆坡28日讯）味之素（Ajinomoto (Malaysia) Bhd）截至今年9月杪第二季（2018财年第二季）净利按年减少6%至1553万令吉，一年前为1652万令吉，主要是广告与销售增加，导致费用增加。

每股盈利从27.17仙，跌至25.55仙。

季度营业额则按年增加2.1%至1亿1784万令吉，上财年同季报1亿1542万令吉。

截至现财年首半年，该集团净赚2670万令吉或每股43.92仙，比上财年同期的2440万令吉或每股40.14仙，按年增长9.41%。2018财年首半年营业额则按年微扬0.58%至2亿1307万令吉，上财年同期为2亿1184万令吉。

该集团指出，鉴于全球经济欠稳和外汇波动，预计市场状况将继续面临挑战。

“令吉兑美元欠稳，导致生产成本承压。”

该集团补充说：“管理层将继续密切关注销售行动计划和成本管理，同时注重提高销售和盈利。”

Description	AJINOMOTO (MALAYSIA) BERHAD ("AMB" or "The Company") - Construction of a new plant located in Techpark@Enstek, Bandar Baru Enstek, Daerah Seremban, Negeri   Sembilan
1. INTRODUCTION Further to the announcement made by the Company on 13 August 2019 regarding the completion of the proposed acquisition of a piece of freehold land located in Techpark@Enstek, Bandar Baru Enstek, Daerah Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, a Halal Hub, (“the Land”), the Board of Directors of AMB (“the Board”) wishes to announce that a new plant will be constructed on the Land at a total capital investment of approximately RM355.0 million. The Land will be home for the Company’s new plant and support facilities (“New Plant”), which will include its Corporate Office, and recreational space and facilities for its staff. 2. RATIONALE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW PLANT The Company plans to strengthen the development and production for halal-compliant products as the recognised and established halal food and seasoning manufacturer. The New Plant will enable AMB to meet this plan which will contribute to the Company’s continuing profit growth and sustainability for the future business expansion. 3. INTENDED USAGE OF THE NEW PLANT The New Plant will initially be for manufacturing of AMB’s current range of halal consumer and industrial products, viz., Umami seasoning AJI-NO-MOTO®, flavour seasonings, menu specific seasonings and products for the industrial food producers with capacity and space for manufacture of new products that the Company may launch. The introduction of advanced technology will enable the Company to further improve its overall efficiencies and productivity. The New Plant is designed to be eco-friendly as well as provide a work-friendly and safe environment for the Company’s staff. 4. EXPECTED COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION DATE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW PLANT Construction is planned to commence in October 2019 and barring any unforeseen circumstances, is expected to be completed by March 2022. 5. SOURCE OF FUNDING The costs of the New Plant will be funded through a combination of internally generated funds and external borrowings. 6. FINANCIAL IMPACT The cost of the New Plant is not expected to have any effect on the share capital of the Company and the shareholding of the shareholders of the Company. However, it is expected to impact on the earnings of the Company in the initial few years of operating at the New Plant due to depreciation of the new assets and repayment of external borrowings. 7. DIRECTORS’ AND MAJOR SHAREHOLDERS’ INTERESTS Save and except for the purchase of special and customised equipment and machineries from Ajinomoto Affiliated Companies, being related parties, none of the Directors and/or major shareholders of AMB and/or persons connected with them have any interest, direct or indirect, in the contracts relating to the construction of the New Plant. 8. DIRECTORS’ STATEMENT The Board having considered all aspects, is of the opinion that the construction of the New Plant is in the best long-term interests and sustainability of the Company. 9. APPROVALS REQUIRED The construction of the New Plant is subject to all applicable approvals which AMB will obtain accordingly but does not require shareholders’ approval. This announcement is dated 13 August 2019.
