Bumitama Agri’s net profit down 45.4% YoY in H1

It went down to IDR 759.76b ($67.34m) in the first half (H1) of 2023.

The net profit of SGX-listed Bumitama Agri fell 45.4% in H1 2023 to IDR 1.18t ($104m) from IDR 2.1t ($186m) reported in the same period last year.

This was due to the weakening of palm product prices and fertiliser and fuel prices, the firm said in a financial report.

For the second quarter of 2023, its net profit declined 41.8% to IDR 759.76b ($67.34m) from IDR 1.305t ($116m) in Q2 2022.

Its revenue also declined by 16.4% in H2 2023 to IDR 7.4t ($656m) from IDR 8.9t ($788m).

In its statement, Bumitama said they are increasingly confident that the low cycle is behind them and production proportion in the second half of 2023 will be the bigger share of the year.

“Hence, the robust performance in the 2Q23 period could serve as the transition towards a more supportive environment, after having gone through soft performance in the previous two quarters which were dominated by subdued output, falling palm oil price, and elevated cost pressure from fertilizer,” said Bumitima Agri.

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.
