Golden Agri plunges into the red with $23.5m loss in FY15

Blame it on weak CPO prices.

Flagging CPO prices have dragged Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) into the red, as the company posted a net loss of US$16.7m, or roughly $23.5m, in FY15.

According to OCBC, revenue tumbled 15% YoY to around US$6.5b, while core earnings were flat at US$221.4m.

For Q4, revenue dropped 15% YoY to around US$1.6b. In addition, a US$197.7m bio-asset fair value loss resulted in a wider net loss of US$88.4m, compared to its 4Q14’s net loss of US$21.9m. Core earnings would have climbed 13%, though, to US$51.5m.

In 2016, GAR is bracing for El Niño to hurt production, though the impact will likely be cushioned by an anticipated rebound in CPO prices.

GAR further asserts that it will continue to enhance margins through further vertical integration of its operations, as well as improving its yield and cost efficiencies.

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.
