Key Highlights
Palm Oil Operation
· H1 2022 revenue of €20.7m, a 5.1% increase from €19.7m in H1 2022 – includes sales of CPO, Palm Kernel Oil (‘PKO’), Palm Kernel Cake (‘PKC’) and Nursery Plants
· We achieved a 49% increase in H1 2023 CPO production compared to H1 2022, however, the H1 2022 gross margin – €3.5m, EBITDA – €2.3m and net profit after tax €1.2m were below H1 2022 comparisons due to the timing difference of a high volume of sales occurring post H1 2023 due to the late and strong production high season:
o H1 2023 CPO inventory of 4,870 tonnes compared to 650 tonnes at H1 2022
o H1 2023 PKO inventory of 1,080 tonnes compared to 300 tonnes at H2 2022
