WATCH: KAP CEO Frans Olivier unpacks 32% interim earnings surge

Better performances from Unitrans, Feltex and Sleep Group have given KAP a boost, but it’s largely the easing in operating costs related to the ramp-up of PG Bison’s new MDF line that has contributed to the group’s 32% rise in headline earnings per share. The other two units, Optix and Safripol, weighed in, with the former’s operating loss widening while the latter saw a profit plunge of 40%. Business Day TV unpacked the performance with the company’s CEO, Frans Olivier.
