Lower almond yields and high-interest rates lower Olam Group’s H1 PATMI

The SGX-listed group posted $47.9m PATMI in the first half (H1) of 2023.

Olam Group revealed that its PATMI declined by 88.8% year-on-year to $47.9m in H1 2023 due to higher interest prices and lower almond yields in Australia.

The group’s financial report also showed that the lower PATMI was attributed to a net exceptional loss of $136.1m, which is significantly higher interest costs of $245.9m and reduced contribution of Olam Agri due to the sale of the stake.

Its revenue also dropped 13.2% to $24.7b on reduced sales volumes coupled with lower commodity prices across several products in its portfolio.

The group is expecting a proposed listing on the premium segment in London, with a concurrent listing in Singapore, which could take place after the Olam Agri IPO on a sequential basis.

Olam Group Co-Founder and CEO, Sunny Verghese, said the focused and differentiated strategies of their operating groups will continue to allow them to grab opportunities across the food, feed and ingredients space.

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.
