Sime Darby Berhad -- Moody's: Sime Darby's interim results to December 2013 -- top line growth still a challenge
Singapore, March 04, 2014 -- Moody's Investors Service says that Sime Darby Berhad's (Sime) results for the half year to 31 December 2013 reflect the ongoing pressure on the mining related Industrial division but with the group's dominant palm oil operations benefitting from higher crude palm oil (CPO) prices in the December quarter. In the light of its continued strong liquidity, there is no impact on Sime's A3 stable ratings and we expect Sime's revenue and cash generation to improve in the second half of the year.
