Net debt increased to US$19.96 billion as of 31 December 2025 due to the consolidation of AWL in 4Q2025. Excluding AWL, net debt declined compared to FY2024, in line with a decline in commodity prices. Nevertheless, net debt to equity ratio improved to 0.91x in FY2025 from 0.94x in FY2024, while adjusted net debt to equity ratio remained comparable at 0.34x.
Business Outlook2025 was a challenging year for the Group, as we operated in a complex global environment and faced issues in several markets. Geopolitical tensions, trade tariffs and evolving regulatory landscapes have required us to adapt our supply chain and business model. Leveraging on our global manufacturing and distribution network, and further supported by a dedicated and resilient workforce, we managed to overcome these challenges and reported a reasonable set of results for FY2025.
Operating conditions for 2026 are expected to continue to remain challenging. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we expect results for FY2026 to be satisfactory.

Profit decreased by 29% to US$254.0 million in 2H2025 mainly due to the absence of a pre-tax gain from the share swap exercise of the Group's China associates and joint venture (Luhua) that was recognised in 2H2024. Excluding the above pre-tax gain, profit for the segment in 2H2025 was comparable with 2H2024 and higher in 2025 compared to 2024. Improved profitability from the flour and rice businesses was offset by weaker results in the sugar business.
Overall sales volume for the segment grew by 5% to 34.7 million MT in FY2025, aided by volume growth from the
segment's existing businesses, as well as the consolidation of one month of AWL's results in 4Q2025.

Profit improved by 62% to US$479.4 million in 2H2025 mainly on the back of higher crushing margins and improved contributions from sugar merchandising activities, even though volume of sugar sales declined during the period. However, overall performance for the segment was impacted by compressed margins in the tropical oils business.
For FY2025, profit before tax improved by 4% to US$861.0 million while overall sales volume for the segment decreased by 1% to 68.0 million MT.

# Excludes oil palm plantation volume
Profit for the segment was weaker at US$154.5 million in 2H2025 as a result of lower profit from both the palm plantation and sugar milling businesses. Palm oil prices ended lower at the end of FY2025, resulting in losses arising from changes in fair value of biological assets recognised in 2H2025. This was further impacted by lower volume of fresh fruit bunch production, which declined by 8% to 1,996,961 MT in 2H2025 as a result of unfavourable weather conditions in Indonesia. The weaker results from sugar milling business were mainly impacted by lower sugar prices during the period, coupled with a 4% decrease in sales volume to 2.2 million MT in 2H2025.
For FY2025, overall profit for the segment improved by 32% to US$356.5 million, mainly backed by higher palm oil prices and stronger volume of sugar sales during the first half of the year. Nevertheless, overall fresh fruit bunch production for the year decreased by 2% to 4,039,764 MT.

Note :
* Net bank borrowings include proceeds/repayments of loans and borrowings net of fixed deposits pledged with financial institutions for bank facilities and unpledged fixed deposits with maturity more than 3 months.
Turnover days are calculated by averaging the monthly turnover days to better reflect the true turnover period in view of the seasonality of the Group's business. Monthly turnover days are computed using revenue and cost of sales for the month.
Cash Flow - Cont.Inventories increased by 13% to US$14.65 billion as at 31 December 2025 mainly due to the consolidation of AWL in 4Q2025. Average turnover days increased to 68 days in FY2025, mainly due to a later Chinese Spring Festival in 2026.
Trade receivables decreased by 3% to US$7.35 billion as of 31 December 2025, due to timing of repayments. Nevertheless, average turnover days increased to 33 days for the year.
Trade payables increased to US$4.89 billion as of 31 December 2025, impacted by both higher payables turnover days during the year and the consolidation of AWL in 4Q2025. Similar to 1H2025, average turnover days increased to 22 days during the year as the Group enjoyed higher credit terms for its payables through supplier financing arrangements with banks.
