ANOTHER YEAR OF RECORD PROFITS AND INCREASING SHAREHOLDER RETURNS

The Group has, once again, achieved record-breaking results during the year. Pricing for the Group’s key products, crude palm oil and palm kernels, remained strong during 2025, and the Group focused on processing a greater proportion of its own, high-quality crop, benefiting margins. Planted hectarage under management increased during the year, now exceeding 70,000 hectares.
