Golden Agri-Resources posts $710m EBITDA for H1 2021

The recorded EBITDA is a 176% increase from the previous year’s period.

Golden Agri-Resources announced today that they have accumulated $710m (US$523m) in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for the first half of 2021, a 176% increase from the same period last year. 

This is despite the higher export tax and levy charged during this year.

Underlying profit and net profit, meanwhile, also saw an increase to $334.3m (US$246M) and $207.91m (US$153m).

GAR Chairman and CEO Franky O. Widjaja also announced the distribution of an interim dividend of 0.53 Singapore cents per share. 

“The Board is proud of the continued strong performance delivered by GAR during the first semester of the year. Our financial position is also healthier resulting in lower leverage and a strengthened liquidity position. With its confidence towards the company’s performance and industry outlook, the board declares the distribution of an interim dividend of 0.528 Singapore cents per share.”

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.
