Golden Agri’s net profit surged to $645.5m in 2021

Upstream and downstream businesses contributed to Golden Agri’s stronger performance.

The net profit of SGX-listed Golden Agri-Resources, grew to $645.5m (US$476m) in the fiscal year of 2021 from $43.39m (US$32m) in 2020 on the back of the strong performance of its upstream and downstream businesses.

The Indonesia-based firm said that its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation increased by 81% to $1.646b (US$1.214b) from $907m (US$669m), whilst  gross profit soared by 105% to $3.193b (US$2.355b) from $1.559b (US$1.150b) in the same period.

Its revenue was on an “all-time high” as it went up by 44% to $13.809b (US$10.183b) last year, driven by stronger crude palm oil (CPO) market prices.

Further, the agriculture company attributed its “stronger performance” to the contributions of both the upstream and downstream business which was due to sustained high palm oil market prices and robust margins from the downstream business.

Golden Agri Chairman and CEO Franky Widjaja pointed out that the company’s firm set of results in 2021 showed their resilience and competitive work of their employees amidst the tight edible oil supply.

“Moving forward, we expect the tight vegetable oil situation to persist. Palm oil, as a key contributor to meet the world’s demand for edible oils, is facing production challenges such as labour issues in Malaysia and under-fertilised smallholder plantations. Dry weather conditions in South America further strain global vegetable oil supply,” said Widjaja.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
