Golden-Agri's net profit crashed 83% to $23m in Q1

Blame it on a forex loss.

Golden-Agri Resources reported that its net profit crashed 83% to $23m (US$17.2m) in the first quarter.

The decline was attributed to a forex loss worth $46.7m (US$35m), compared to a forex gain of $44m (US$33m) recorded in the same period last year.

Low palm oil prices also caused the group's EBITDA to decline 16% year-on-year to $168.1m (US$126m).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
