Bumitama Agri's net profit declines 13.3% YoY in FY23

Revenue for the period also dropped by 2.4% YoY.

SGX-listed Bumitama Agri reported a 13.3% YoY decrease in its profit attributable to owners of the company in FY23, reaching IDR2.5t ($210.4m).

Revenue for the period likewise fell, dropping 2.4% YoY to IDR15.4t ($1.3b), mainly due to lower palm product sales prices, partly offset by an increase in sales volume.

In 1H24, the company expects a slight upward trend of palm oil prices due to the anticipated weather impact of El Nino on the output of palm oil and the potential tightening of palm oil supplies arising from
the lower palm production and Ramadan seasons.

Despite a decline in some key financial metrics, the company said its 2023 figures were its second highest in history.

The company's EBITDA margin reached 30% in 2023, higher than the five-year average of 29%.

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.
