Olam Group EBIT jumps 51.4% to $641.6m

The company plans to list Olam Food Ingredients in both the London Stock Exchange and SGX soon.

Olam Group reported increased earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $641.6m for the first half of the year, 51.4% higher than the same period last year.

This is its strongest operational earnings since its establishment, according to Olam Co-Founder and CEO Sunny Verghese.

“Our strongest operational earnings since inception reflect the underlying strength and resilience of our business despite the impacts of COVID-19,” Verghese said in a press statement.

The group reported a 22.9% EBIT growth in Olam Food Ingredients (OFI) and 58.9% EBIT growth in Olam Global Agri (OGA), two new operating groups formed after a recent re-organisation.

Moving forward, Olam is working on the initial public offering (IPO) of OFI in both the London Stock Exchange and the Singapore Stock Exchange.

“Separately, we are evaluating various strategies to maximise OGA’s long-term growth potential and value enhancement within the group as it continues with its plan for carve-out, potential IPO and demerger by the first half of 2023,” Verghese added.

Initial public offering

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.
