Lower almond yields and high-interest rates lower Olam Group’s H1 PATMI

The SGX-listed group posted $47.9m PATMI in the first half (H1) of 2023.

Olam Group revealed that its PATMI declined by 88.8% year-on-year to $47.9m in H1 2023 due to higher interest prices and lower almond yields in Australia.

The group’s financial report also showed that the lower PATMI was attributed to a net exceptional loss of $136.1m, which is significantly higher interest costs of $245.9m and reduced contribution of Olam Agri due to the sale of the stake.

Its revenue also dropped 13.2% to $24.7b on reduced sales volumes coupled with lower commodity prices across several products in its portfolio.

The group is expecting a proposed listing on the premium segment in London, with a concurrent listing in Singapore, which could take place after the Olam Agri IPO on a sequential basis.

Olam Group Co-Founder and CEO, Sunny Verghese, said the focused and differentiated strategies of their operating groups will continue to allow them to grab opportunities across the food, feed and ingredients space.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
