Olam Group profit plunges 83.4% in H2 2024

For the full year, it declined 69% YoY.

Olam Group reported an 83.4% year-on-year (YoY) decline in profit after tax and minority interest (PATMI) to $38.3m in the second half of 2024.

Despite the drop in PATMI, the group's revenue rose 24.0% YoY to $29.2b.

For the full year, PATMI fell 69% YoY to $86.4m, whilst revenue grew 16.3% to $56.2b.

The board has proposed a final dividend of $.03 per share, bringing the total dividend for 2024 to $.06 cents, down from $.07 in 2023.

As part of its restructuring, Olam will sell a 44.58% stake in Olam Agri to Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC) for US$1.78b, valuing Olam Agri at US$4.00b. It also plans to divest its remaining 19.99% stake to SALIC after three years at the closing valuation plus a 6% internal rate of return (IRR).

The group said it will focus on unlocking value in its remaining businesses, including an IPO for Olam Food Ingredients (ofi).

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.
