First Resources Limited’s full-year profit soars 61.6% YoY to $218.23m

This is on the back of its record-breaking sales of $1.4b in FY21.

First Resources Limited saw its net profit soar 61.6% year-on-year (YoY) in the financial year (FY) 2021 to $218.23m (US$161.1m), the company’s latest financial statement showed.

The palm producer likewise saw a spike in its sales which rose 56.3% YoY to a record of $1.4b (US$1.032b), driven by higher average selling prices and stronger sales volumes.

In the same financial year, the group registered growth in production volumes and yields of its fresh fruit bunches (FFB) and crude palm oil (CPO).

FFB production rose 2.9% YoY to 3,367,668 tonnes, whilst CPO production increased 1.6% to 869,241 tonnes.

Both FFB and CPO yields also came in higher in FY 2021 at 17.2 tonnes per hectare, and 3.9 tonnes per hectare, respectively.

Given the strong performance of the company, the board of directors has proposed a final dividend of $0.0510 per share for FY21 ended 31 Demceb 2021, bringing the full-year ordinary dividend to $0.0635 per share, representing 50% of the group’s underlying

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
