Olam Group H1 profit soars nearly fivefold on $1.75b one-off gains

The board declared a total dividend of $0.07 per share.

Olam Group Limited’s net profit rose 488.7% to $1.9b in the six months ended June 30, 2026, largely due to one-off gains of $1.75b.

The gains came from the disposal of a 44.58% stake in Olam Agri, the sale of Olam’s entire interest in Mindsprint, and a fair-value gain from valuing the put and call options covering its remaining stake in Olam Agri.

However, revenue fell 18.3% to $12.5b, mainly because lower cocoa and coffee prices reduced input prices at ofi, whilst OGH recorded lower volumes.

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) dropped 34.2% to $455m.

Excluding $187.4m in significant non-cash foreign-exchange revaluation gains recorded in the first half of 2025, EBIT was down about 10% from a year earlier.

Net gearing fell to 0.93 times from 2.09 times a year earlier, helped by debt reduction at OGH using proceeds from divestments and lower working-capital-related debt at ofi.

The board declared a total dividend of $0.07 per share, consisting of a $0.01 interim ordinary dividend and a $0.06 special dividend.

Olam said it expects the businesses within OGH to maintain their operational performance in 2026, whilst monitoring risks from the global environment, including a possible escalation of the Middle East war that could affect results.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
