Wilmar's net profit grows 40.5% to $440.5m

Thanks to healthy yields from Tropical Oils and Oilseeds & Grains.

Agri-giant Wilmar reported a robust set of numbers for the past quarter, with both revenue and net profit shooting up 17% and 40.5%, respectively.

According to OCBC Investment Research, revenue increased 17% YoY to US$10.6b, whilst the net profit rose 40.5% to US$312.6m ($440.5m).

"This set of results was attributable to decent performance from Tropical Oils and Oilseeds & Grains segments as well as higher contributions from the group’s China associates," the brokerage firm said.

Here's more from OCBC Investment Research:

Separately, the group is carrying out an internal restructuring of its China operations with the possibility of a separate listing. As the proposed listing is still at the evaluation stage, there is no certainty or assurance that it will happen.

Recall that back in 2009, the group was evaluating the feasibility of listing its China operations but did not proceed with the listing then.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
