Performance for 3Q2025
Core net profit improved by 71.6% to US$357.2 million in 3Q2025 (3Q2024: US$208.1 million) on the back of stronger operational results across all the Group's core segments, coupled with higher contributions from its joint ventures and associates. The improvement in Food Products segment results was largely aided by better performance in China's oil, flour and rice businesses, and was further supported by steady sales volume growth during the quarter. Abundant South American soybean harvests and higher demand from the livestock industry allowed our soybean business to achieve higher crushing margins and volume in 3Q2025. In addition, higher sales volume in the tropical oils business led our Feed & Industrial Products segment to record favourable results. Our palm plantation business also continued to contribute favourably during the quarter as palm oil prices remained steady, boosting overall performance for the Group.
Overall sales volume for Food Products segment grew by 6.5% to 9.3 million MT in 3Q2025 (3Q2024: 8.7 million MT) while sales volume for Feed and Industrial Products segment grew by 3.2% to 18.8 million MT in 3Q2025 (3Q2024: 18.2 million MT).
The Group reported a net loss of US$347.7 million in 3Q2025 (3Q2024: US$254.4 million profit) as a result of a IDR 11.88 trillion (approximately US$712.3 million) payment arising from a decision of the Indonesia Supreme Court in relation to actions taken by the Group in FY2021 during a shortage of cooking oil in the Indonesian market.
For 9M2025, the Group reported core net profit of US$940.9 million (9M2024: US$814.4 million) and net profit of US$247.3 million (9M2024: US$834.0 million).
Cash Flow
The continued softening of soybean and sugar prices led to lower working capital requirements for the Group, reducing net debt to US$16.48 billion as of 30 September 2025 (31 December 2024: US$18.64 billion). Consequently, net gearing ratio for the Group improved to 0.82x as of 30 September 2025 (FY2024: 0.94x). Together with higher operating results during the period, the Group generated stable cash flows from operating activities of US$3.94 billion. At the end of the reporting period, the Group also had unutilised banking facilities amounting to US$36.94 billion.
Outlook
Operating results for 3Q2025 have improved from last year but the Group's overall results were unfortunately impacted by the compensation imposed on our Indonesia operations during the quarter. Nevertheless, we expect our business to remain resilient for the rest of the year, barring any adverse change in international government policies that could impact our operations. Overall, we are cautiously optimistic that performance for the rest of the year will be satisfactory.
