Bumitama Agri's net profit tumbled 41% to $18.4m in Q1

Due to low CPO prices, high finance costs.

Bumitama Agri reported that its net profit slipped 41% year-on-year to $18.4m (IDR 181b) in the first quarter, on back of persistently weak palm oil prices.

The group was also impacted by higher cost of sales, foreign exchange loss, and share of loss of associate companies.

In the quarter, Bumitama Agri recorded a net foreign exchange loss of $3.2m (IDR 32b) compared to a net gain of $3.2b (IDR 32b) in the same quarter last year, which was mainly due to translation of USD denominated borrowings in the group’s IDR financial statements as a result of the depreciation of IDR to USD during the period.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
