Indofood recorded consolidated net sales of Rp18.22 trillion; declined 3.7% from Rp18.92 trillion in the same semester last year mainly due to the decline in CPO price, despite higher volume sales achieved by Consumer Branded Product  (“CBP”) and Bogasari Groups.

The Consumer Branded Product Group, which consists of Noodles, Dairy, Food Seasoning, Snack Foods, Nutrition & Special Foods Division, contributed 43% to consolidated net sales, an increase from 30% in the same period last year, partly driven by increase sales volume across the divisions.

Bogasari Group contributed 30% to consolidated net sales, unchanged from the same period last year. Contribution from Agribusiness Group declined to 19% from 28% due to lower CPO and rubber prices. Contribution from Distribution Group also declined to 7.4% from 11.4% principally because the dairy sales is now included in the CBP Group.

Gross profit declined 2.5% to Rp4.86 trillion from Rp4.99 trillion, while operating profit declined to Rp2.22 trillion from Rp2.50 trillion. Gross margin and operating margin was 26.7% and 12.2% respectively. Net profit declined to Rp799.7 billion from Rp811.2 billion. Core profit declined to Rp595.2 billion from Rp826.0 billion in the same period last year as a result of lower operating profit.

Anthoni Salim, the President Director and Chief Executive Officer of Indofood, said: “Lower inflation rate has positively impacted domestic consumer purchasing power; demand for most of our products is stronger as compared with the same period last year. Amidst the improving global economic climate, demand for CPO is expected to remain resilient for the rest of 2009. Supported by our resilient business model, we remain positive that we will continue to deliver sustainable results to our stakeholders.”
