SINGAPORE – Olam International Limited (“Olam”) has today published further information for investors with respect to the planned demerger and IPO of Olam Food Ingredients (“OFI”), a global leader at the forefront of food and beverage consumer trends.
‘Introduction to OFI for investors’ highlights OFI’s attractive portfolio and strong growth prospects, driven by a proven and repeatable growth model which is expected to deliver low to mid-single digit annual volume growth and mid to high-single digit annual EBIT growth in the medium-term.
The presentation also reiterates OFI’s strong momentum going into the second half of 2021, with H1 2021 year-on-year EBIT growth of 29.5% and continued EBIT margin expansion.
OFI was created in early 2020 following a re-organisation of Olam to unlock and maximise Olam’s long-term value, including an IPO and concurrent demerger by the first half of 2022. It was announced in August 2021 that OFI intends to seek a primary listing on the premium segment of the London Stock Exchange. OFI will concurrently seek a listing in Singapore.
OFI works with some of the world’s best-known food and beverage brands, food manufacturers, retailers, and food service outlets, as well as several niche and premium regional players.
