Net profit of First Resources dwindles to US$145.4m in FY23

It fell by 55.3% YoY.

First Resources posted a net profit of $195.5m (US$145.4m) in FY23, a 55.3% decrease from the $437.3m (US$325.2m) in FY22.

The company attributed the decline to the moderation in market prices, with the average crude palm oil (CPO) price on a free-on-board (FOB) basis declining to $1,210 (US$900) per tonne in FY23 from the all-time-high of $1666 (US$1,239) per tonne in FY22.

The company’s FY23 EBITDA was $379.2m (US$282.0m), a 44.6% decrease from the previous year’s $684.1m (US$508.8m).

Despite recording a lower net profit, the company proposed a final dividend per share of $0.0370 for FY23.

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.
