Melaka, Malaysia, 2 December 2019 – Leading flexible packaging manufacturer Daibochi Berhad (Daibochi; 耐慕志; Bloomberg: DPP:MK; Reuters: DPPM.KL) is poised to achieve new heights in the financial year ending 31 July 2020 (FY2020), after its first quarter ended 31 October 2019 (1Q FY2020) delivered best-ever top and bottomline quarterly performance in its 47-year history.

The Group returned to the black with net profit of RM11.0 million in 1Q FY2020, compared to a net loss of RM0.3 million in the preceding quarter ended 31 July 2019 (7Q FY2019).

The Group also recorded minimal write down/off of inventories and merger and acquisition costs amounting to RM0.8 million in 1Q FY2020, compared to RM6.8 million in 7Q FY2019.
