Wilmar net profit doubles to a record-breaking US$450.2m

All of the food processing firm's core business segments grew in the first quarter.

Wilmar International had a record breaking net profit of US$450.2m for the first quarter, the highest since it was listed on the Singapore Exchange.

This first quarter figure is also more than double the $224.1m recorded for the same period last year.

Sales in its Food Products segment grew by 13.1% at US$6.98m, and its Feed and Industrial Products segment grew by 1.5% to US$11.76m.

Wilmar expects the sustained high palm oil prices to benefit its oil palm plantation business in the coming months, while earnings from feeds and industrial products is expected to be lower due to lower crush margins.

The company has not experienced significant disruptions in India and Myanmar despite the ongoing pandemic and political disruptions.

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.
