Food Empire net profit down 11.4% in 2024

Net profit in H2 was down by 10.1%

Food Empire Holdings Limited reported a net profit after tax drop of 11.4% from $75.52m (US$56.46m) in 2023 to $66.92m (US$50.03m) in 2024.

Revenue for the year went up 11.9% EBITDA slipped 9.9%.

In H2 2024, revenue was up 10.4% whilst EBITDA went down 8.3%. H2 net profit also slipped 10.1%.

The group said its revenue was boosted mainly by strong double-digit growth from its Southeast Asia, South Asia and Ukraine, Kazakhstan and CIS segments, and partially offset by a slight dip from its Russia segment due to the depreciation of the Russian Ruble against the US dollar. For the purpose of comparing underlying performance, Russia had achieved a 7.3% increase in revenue in local currency terms.

The Board of Directors has proposed a first and final dividend of 6.0 Singapore cents per ordinary share and a special dividend of 2.0 Singapore cents per ordinary share.

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.
