IN TIMES OF HIGHER PRICES
Jakarta, 30 April 2014 – PT Sampoerna Agro Tbk and subsidiaries “a poe a Ag o" o the Co pa
released its financial and operational results for the period ending in 31 March 2014 1Q14 .
Global CPO commodity price traded in Malaysian markets, when measured in terms of quarterly
average, has been strengthening steadily since the final quarter of 2012. In fact, the rate of increase has
accelerated within the past two quarters to reach close to Rm2,700 per ton by 1Q14. This is 7% higher
tha a e age p ice i fou th ua te of
Q
o 6% highe versus first quarter of 2013
Q
. Management has an optimistic view that CPO market prices should sustain at about 15%
p e iu e sus last ea ’s pe fo a ce.
Within 1Q14, Sampoerna Agro sold its CPO at an average price of Rp9,011 per kg, which meant 10% rise
versus 4Q13 average or a robust 47% increase against 1Q13. As a result, revenue contribution from CPO
in 1Q14 climbed 13% versus 1Q13 to reach Rp534.72 billion despite 23% lesser volume sold this year.

CPO contributed 82% to total consolidated revenue for the Company that amounted to Rp649.63 billion
in 1Q14, a rise of 13% against 1Q13 figure.
FFB harvest from the Company nucleus estates managed to book 13% rise in 1Q14 to reach 163,676
tons. However, total CPO output within the same period retreated 10% primarily due to lower
contribution from external production which declined 36% year on year. Production growth booked
during 1Q14 was wholly attributable to estates in the Kalimantan region that saw 35% increase while on
the other hand, Sumatra region booked 31% lower volumes.
Notably though, production trend in 2014 have started to pick up in the month of March, unlike 2013
when it only picked up in July, or more visibly, in August. Therefore, management remained upbeat on
this ea ’s olu e g o th especiall co side i g that weather pattern in 2013 was mostly pleasant.
Following the receipt of International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) certificates for couple
of company subsidiaries late last year, Sampoerna Agro managed to engage in selling ISCC certified palm
oil with premium pricing this year. The Company, through several of its subsidiaries, was also awarded
the Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO) certification in February 2014.
