GAR Profits Surge in Competitive Market Environment During the First Quarter of 2025
Net profit for the quarter surged by 47% year-on-year to US$55 million. Growth in plantation output helped to offset softer downstream performance, resulting in a first quarter 2025 EBITDA margin of over 8.5%. SINGAPORE, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Golden Agri-Resources Ltd ('GAR' or the 'Company') continued to improve its financial performance in the first quarter of 2025, driven by increased plantation output and appreciation in crude palm oil (CPO) prices. CPO market prices (FOB Belawan) for the quarter averaged US$1,156 per tonne, up 27% from the same period last year. This supported a 19% growth in revenue to US$3.04 billion, offsetting a dip in sales volume during this period.
