Currency woes overshadow Bumitama's revenue rise in 1Q24

Net profit for the period fell 23.5% YoY to IDR 328.4b.

Despite higher revenue, Bumitama Agri’s 1Q24 net profit dropped 23.5% YoY and 15.1% QoQ to IDR 328.4b.

Revenue for the period was IDR3.87t, up 8% YoY on the back of rising volume. Crude palm oil (CPO) sales comprised 91% of total revenue for the period, while palm kernel made up 9%.

The company attributed its lower net profit to the "strengthening US Dollar effect” due to the Fed's higher-for-longer rates.

Excluding the forex loss of 1Q24 versus the gain in 1Q23, core earnings spiked 23% YoY to IDR 373.69b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
