39 LEADERSHIP MESSAGES | FINANCIAL REVIEW It is the Group’s strategy to invite strategic partners to participate in our projects to manage our overall portfolio mix and maximise shareholder value. Thus, shareholders should refer to Profit after Tax and Minority Interests (“PATAMI”) to determine the amount of profit attributable to them. The Group recorded higher PATAMI and Core PATAMI in FYE 2024 of RM964 million and RM931 million respectively due to factors disclosed in the previous profitability section. The Group’s Basic Earnings per Share (“EPS”), computed based on PATAMI, reflected similar trends. Core EBITDA and Core PAT, which excludes the impact of exceptional or non-core items, were 54% and 50% higher at RM3.0 billion and RM1.1 billion respectively. Our healthy profitability is even more noteworthy considering our finance costs increase of RM386 million. The higher finance costs supported our increased investments into our offshore production, renewables and green technologies businesses, in line with our business plans.
