Wilmar International’s net profit dwindles to US$1.5b in FY23
The FY23 net profit was 36.5% lower than the FY22 record.
Wilmar International’s net profit fell 36.5% YoY to US$1.52b ($2.04b) in FY23, its latest financial statement showed.
The company’s core net profit also decreased, falling by 35.3% YoY to US$1.57b ($2.11b).
In a bourse filing, the agribusiness company attributed the decline in the net profit to the weaker performance of its business segments in 1H23.

Despite a lower net profit, the board proposed a final tax-exempt, one-tier, dividend of $0.11 per share, including the interim dividend of $0.06 per share paid in August 2023.
The total dividend paid and proposed for FY23 is $0.17.
