Olam’s net profit triples to $94.7m in 2Q

On back of improved margins.

The agri-business company continued its strategy of restructuring by deprioritizing lower margin businesses, but still saw a robust growth for its net profit in 2Q.

Easing priority from lower margin businesses, however, caused a drop in Olam's revenue by 16% to S$4811.6m.

"1H15 revenue was down 14% at S$7516.3m, meeting 44% of our full-year forecast, while reported NPAT tumbled 70.6% to S$126.0m; operational NPAT was actually up 48% at S$223.7m, or about 51% of our FY15 forecast," a report from OCBC said.
