Bumitama Agri net profit drops by 27.9% in H1 2024

Their gross profit also fell by 16.5%.

Bumitama Agri Ltd. reported a net profit attributable to the owners drop by 27.9% to IDR856.8b ($71.3m) in H1 2024 from IDR1.2t ($98.9m) in H1 2023.

The company's net profit dropped by 29.5% from IDR1t ($83.4m) due to foreign currency losses and an increase in the average purchase price of external Fresh Fruit Bunch (FFB).

The group also reported a decrease in their gross profit by 16.5% to IDR1.8t ($149.7m).

However, their revenue increased by 1.4% to IDR7.6t ($632.3m) due to the average selling prices of palm products, especially palm kernels (PK).

The average sales of PK grew by 10.6% to 6,201 rupiah per kg, while crude palm oil (CPO) only increased by 1.7% to 11,921 rupiah per kg.

Bumitama Agri also recorded a net foreign exchange loss IDR64.6b ($5.4m) in H1 2024, mainly due to translation loss on USD denominated borrowings resulting from the depreciation of IDR against USD during the period.

General and administrative expenses fell by 7.6% to IDR 317b ($26.4m) in H1 2024 due to reduced pension fund payments and lower performance bonuses.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
