Olam Group H1 profit soars nearly fivefold on $1.75b one-off gains

The board declared a total dividend of $0.07 per share.

Olam Group Limited’s net profit rose 488.7% to $1.9b in the six months ended June 30, 2026, largely due to one-off gains of $1.75b.

The gains came from the disposal of a 44.58% stake in Olam Agri, the sale of Olam’s entire interest in Mindsprint, and a fair-value gain from valuing the put and call options covering its remaining stake in Olam Agri.

However, revenue fell 18.3% to $12.5b, mainly because lower cocoa and coffee prices reduced input prices at ofi, whilst OGH recorded lower volumes.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) dropped 34.2% to $455m.

Excluding $187.4m in significant non-cash foreign-exchange revaluation gains recorded in the first half of 2025, EBIT was down about 10% from a year earlier.

Net gearing fell to 0.93 times from 2.09 times a year earlier, helped by debt reduction at OGH using proceeds from divestments and lower working-capital-related debt at ofi.

The board declared a total dividend of $0.07 per share, consisting of a $0.01 interim ordinary dividend and a $0.06 special dividend.

Olam said it expects the businesses within OGH to maintain their operational performance in 2026, whilst monitoring risks from the global environment, including a possible escalation of the Middle East war that could affect results.

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.
