.



  • The decrease in commodity prices for soybean and sugar, coupled with lower seasonal working capital requirements, led to an improvement in net debt to equity ratio, from 0.94x in FY2024 to 0.87x in 1H2025.

    Business Outlook
  • The Group's results for 1H2025 improved despite the difficult operating conditions. Refining margins for the tropical oils business are expected to remain challenged, while the plantations business should be favourable for the rest of the year. Our crushing operations are expected to remain stable.



  • Our final results for 2025 will depend on the resolution of various issues relating to our operations in Indonesia by the Indonesian authorities. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we are cautiously optimistic that the performance of our core segments will be satisfactory.

  • Profit grew by 34% to US$195.7 million in 1H2025, mainly driven by better performance in the Group's flour and rice divisions in China.



  • In addition, the Group achieved higher volume of sales during the period, with volume growth noted across its main business divisions. Consumer products sales volume increased by 5% to 4.3 million MT while medium pack and bulk sales improved by 4% to 12.0 million MT. Correspondingly, overall revenue for the segment increased by 5% to US$14.32 billion.

    • Profit was weaker at US$381.6 million as operating conditions for tropical oils business remained challenging, impacting refining margins for the current period. Despite an improvement in sales volume by 5% to 12.6 million MT in 1H2025, contributions from tropical oils business were weaker than 1H2024. Sugar merchandising activities were also lower, with sales volume declining by 22% to 5.1 million MT in 1H2025. Nevertheless, these were partially offset by better performance in the oilseeds and grains business, especially in China. This was largely from an improvement in crush margins and higher demand for its products in 1H2025. Sales volume for oilseeds and grains business increased by 20% to 14.0 million MT during the period.



    • For 1H2025, overall revenue for the segment increased by 7% to US$20.27 billion on the back of stronger sales volume in tropical oils and oilseeds and grains businesses. This was further fuelled by higher commodity prices for tropical oils, but partially offset by weaker sugar merchandising activities.

    • Profit for the segment increased more than threefold to US$202.0 million in 1H2025, mainly on the back of better performance in the palm plantation business as higher palm oil prices during the period drove up margins. Furthermore, the palm plantation business saw a 5% improvement in fresh fruit bunch production to 2,042,802 MT in 1H2025. Sugar milling business benefited from higher sales volume, which increased by 15% to 0.9 million MT in 1H2025.



    • Correspondingly, revenue for oil palm plantation business improved by 17% to US$1.11 billion in 1H2025 while revenue for sugar milling business improved by 14% to US$421.7 million.

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.

  • Inventories decreased by 10% to US$11.64 billion as of 30 June 2025, largely due to the post-Chinese Spring Festival seasonal impact, leading to lower inventory stockholding in China compared to December 2024. However, this was partially offset by longer inventory turnover during the period, which increased from 68 days in 1H2024 to 72 days in 1H2025.

  • Trade receivables decreased by 9% to US$6.88 billion as of 30 June 2025, mainly due to timing of sales. Average turnover days increased to 35 days for the period.



  • Trade payables decreased by 1% to US$3.96 billion as of 30 June 2025, mainly due to timing of purchases. Average turnover days increased to 21 days for the period as the Group enjoyed higher credit terms for its payables through supplier financing arrangements with banks.
