BANPU PROFITS SURGE BY 54% TO RECORD B14BN ON BRISK SALES
 Banpu Plc, Asean's largest coal miner, said its earnings surged to a record high of 14.23 billion baht last year, an increase of 54% on the previous year.
Higher-than-expected coal sales and solid results in the power sector helped create the record profits, said chief executive Chanin Vongkusolkit.
Coal sales totalled 21.09 million tonnes last year, up 14% and beating the company's forecast of 20.5 million, he said.
Banpu's average selling price was $71.70 per tonne, on par with the $72 quoted the previous year. Even though the average benchmark coal price dropped by 44% during the year, the company started fixing prices for coal contracts from mid-2008 when the market price was strong, he said.

“ The new Indominco East Block also began production, resulting in 14% higher output to 12.16 million tonnes at Banpu's biggest mine. As well, the Kitadin-Embalut mine resumed operations after being shut down for a few years, contributing 610,000 tonnes”

"Lower rainfall allowed better Indonesian coal output," said Mr Chanin. "China coal operations reported solid performance and favourable coal prices as a reflection of sustained domestic consumption."
All of the company's mines in Kalimantan, in Indonesia, operated with higher efficiency. Trubaindo and Jurong ran at full capacities of 5.13 million and 2.96 million tonnes, respectively.
The new Indominco East Block also began production, resulting in 14% higher output to 12.16 million tonnes at Banpu's biggest mine. As well, the Kitadin-Embalut mine resumed operations after being shut down for a few years, contributing 610,000 tonnes.
Coal revenue rose 15% to 52.7 billion baht, or 91% of Banpu's total sales of 57.86 billion, which also rose by 15% year-on-year, he said.
"The coal business performed in line with our projection in the final quarter of last year with shipments of 7.2 million tonnes, up 35% from the previous quarter. This helped offset the 7% quarter-on-quarter decrease in coal prices to $64.7 a tonne," Mr Chanin said.
The power business also reported sound results with sales of power and steam rising 13% to 5.16 billion baht. Thanks to lower coal costs and higher prices of electricity and steam in China, net profit at Banpu's three plants on the mainland rose to 591 million baht in 2009 from 160 million the year before.
BLCP, in which Banpu holds an equal share with Electricity Generating Plc (Egco), continued to run at high capacity and contributed 3.4 billion baht in equity income, a rise of 8% from 2008.
Earnings per share rose 54% to 52.36 baht from 33.96 baht in 2008.
Banpu also booked a "significant gain" of 2.87 billion baht from a coal swap, compared to a loss of 218 million loss the year before, said Mr Chanin.
BANPU shares closed yesterday on the SET at 536 baht, up 4 baht, in trade worth 770 million baht.
