R.E.A. Holdings (RE.): Weak commodity prices dampen road to recovery
REA’s 1H’19 results showed a small, 3.1%, increase in own-crop production levels to 335,177mt and a 7.7% increase in CPO production to 96,514mt. Revenue for the period was up 17.5%, to $56.6m (1H’18: $48.2m), despite a plunge of more than 20% in the CIF palm oil price compared with 1H’18. The revenue increase was due partly to the sale of excess inventory carried forward from the end of 2018. REA continues to focus on improving its oil extraction efficiency, with an average OER of 22.9% in 1H’19; however, higher OERs are being achieved in some of the mills in recent months.R.E.A. Holdings is principally engaged in the cultivation of oil palms in the province of East Kalimantan in Indonesia and in the production and sale of crude palm oil and crude palm kernel oil. Ancillary to these activities, Co. generates renewable energy from its methane capture plants to provide power for its own operations and also for sale to local villages via the Indonesian state electricity company. As of Dec 31 2016, Co. held interests in respect of two stone deposits and two coal mining concessions, all of which were located in East Kalimantan in Indonesia.
