InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – PT Teladan Prima Agro Tbk (TLDN) reported solid first-quarter 2026 results, posting revenue of Rp1.37 trillion, up 6.8% year-on-year, supported by stronger crude palm oil (CPO) sales volumes and improved average selling prices for palm kernel (PK) and crude palm kernel oil (CPKO).
The company’s largest revenue contributor remained CPO sales, which reached Rp1.21 trillion, rising 8.2% from the same period a year earlier. Growth was primarily driven by higher sales volumes, despite a roughly 2% decline in average selling prices during the quarter.
Palm kernel sales remained relatively stable at Rp96.92 billion, supported by a 5.3% increase in average selling prices, although shipment volumes softened compared with the previous year.
Meanwhile, revenue from crude palm kernel oil fell 6.1% year-on-year to Rp54.56 billion due to lower sales volumes. However, a 5% rise in average selling prices helped cushion a steeper decline in earnings from the segment.
Overall, TLDN booked gross profit of Rp348.22 billion, EBITDA of Rp322.31 billion, and net profit of Rp181.77 billion during the first three months of 2026.
Wishnu Wardhana, President Director of TLDN, said the company remained focused on balancing topline growth with long-term operational strengthening.
“We continue to maintain a balance between revenue growth and long-term operational improvement. While production dynamics remain varied across segments, our first-quarter performance shows that our strategy to preserve plantation productivity and optimize mill performance continues to deliver amid dynamic market conditions,” Wishnu said in an official statement received by InfoSAWIT.
Fresh Fruit Bunch and CPO Production Show Positive Momentum
Operationally, TLDN produced 253,459 tons of nucleus fresh fruit bunches (FFB) during the quarter, down slightly by 0.9% from the same period last year. However, plasma plantation output rose sharply by 14.4% to 40,378 tons, highlighting the growing contribution of partner Smallholders to the company’s raw material supply chain.
Total FFB processed reached 346,609 tons, up 5.9% year-on-year, supported by stronger plasma harvest volumes and additional fruit sourced from third-party suppliers.
Mill performance also improved. CPO production increased 6.3% to 78,997 tons, while Oil Extraction Rate (OER) climbed to 22.79%, reflecting stronger processing efficiency and improved fruit quality management.
Palm kernel production rose 6.4% to 12,791 tons, while CPKO output reached 3,215 tons with an extraction rate of 40.25%, exceeding the level recorded in the corresponding period last year.
“Technology adoption, implementation of best plantation practices, optimized fertilization, and continuous estate infrastructure maintenance remain critical foundations for sustaining efficiency and operational productivity,” he added.
Technology and ESG Remain Core Growth Pillars
To support long-term expansion, TLDN continues to strengthen implementation of its Teladan Productivity Technology Science (TPTS) program—a data-, science-, and technology-driven productivity platform designed to improve plantation yields and mill efficiency.
The company is also broadening adoption of Teladan Green Metrics (TGM) as part of its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework, ensuring business expansion remains aligned with sustainability principles.
With stronger operational fundamentals, disciplined business execution, and growing technological innovation, TLDN said it remains confident in maintaining competitiveness and delivering healthy, sustainable growth amid evolving global palm oil market dynamics. (T2)
