Food Empire's net profit dips 6.0% YoY to $56.5m in FY23

Despite a decline, the board proposed a dividend of $0.10 per ordinary share.

Food Empire saw its net profit after tax slip by 6.0% YoY to $56.5m in FY23.

Its normalised net profit after tax, however, rose 25.3% YoY to $56.5m. The normalised net profit after tax excludes the one-off gain from the disposal of non-core assets of US$15.0m recorded in FY22.

The company attributed the increase to higher revenue and better operating margins.

Revenue for the period was $425.7m, 6.9% higher than the FY22 record.

Despite a lower net profit after tax, the company's board proposed a first and final dividend of $.0.05 per ordinary share and a special dividend of $0.05.

The proposed first and final dividend and special dividend are subject to shareholders’ approval at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting of the company scheduled for 19 April.

If approved, the company will pay the first and final dividend and special dividend on 17 May.

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.
