The FMCG sector performed well during the first quarter registering revenue of LKR 2.9Bn, a strong growth in comparison to last year. The multiple re-launches that took place during 2 financial year have started to deliver results and operating profits have grown in line with sales. Reduction of palm oil prices would bode well for the GP margins of the sector since the commodity is the main raw material in most of the FMCG products. Newest addition, J. L. Morison experienced an 8% drop in sales due to production being disrupted by a machine breakdown, which resulted in the closure of the manufacturing plant for several weeks. According to company data, the plant is back in its full production. The power sector loss is mainly due to the heat rate reserve for Heladhanavi being charged to the income statement from this quarter onwards. The power sector overall earnings declined by LKR 128Mn compared to last year.
