Delfi's net profit up 7.8% to US$8.4m in Q1

Thanks to higher profit margins.

Delfi, previously known as Petra Foods, reported a net profit of US$8.4 million for the first quarter. This marks a 7.8% increase excluding exceptional items in the comparative period last yer.

Delfi's first-quarter performance was boosted by higher profit margins, which rose to 31.9% from 30.3% in the comparable quarter.

The group's revenue in Indonesia rose 3.2% to US$75.9 million, while revenue in regional markets dropped 15.3% to US$27.7 million. The group's overall revenue dropped 2.5% to US$103.6 million during the quarter.

Delfi expects that consumers in its markets will continue to face tough economic conditions that will impact consumption across a number of consumer categories, including chocolate confectionery.

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.
