The company's gross profit and EBITDA also declined.

Golden Agri Resources (GAR) recorded a net profit of $50m (US$37m) in 1Q24, a 60% drop from $124m (US$92m) in 1Q23.

The company's gross profit and EBITDA also declined in 1Q24, falling by  12% to $577m (US$427m) and 6% to $311.78m (US$231m), respectively.

On the other hand, revenue for the period increased 1% YoY to $3.46b (US$2.56b), driven by higher sales volume.

GAR's fruit yield decreased by 6% YoY, from 4.16 tonnes to 3.89 tonnes per hectare, affected by last year's El Niño. 

Meanwhile, the average CPO market price (FOB Belawan) decreased by 8% YoY to US$910 per tonne from US$990 per tonne in the previous year.

As of March 31, GAR's total planted area stood at 532,000 hectares, of which 494,000 hectares were mature. Nucleus estates comprised 417,000 hectares, and plasma estates made up 115,000 hectares.

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.
