Insights

Davis Commodities reports substantial financial deterioration with 30.6% revenue drop and $3.5M net loss, reflecting serious operational challenges across all segments.

Davis Commodities Limited's FY2024 results reveal severe financial deterioration across all key metrics. Revenue plummeted 30.6% to $132.4 million, while the company swung to a net loss of $3.5 million from a profit of $1.1 million in the previous year. Particularly concerning is the 66.9% collapse in gross profit to just $2.3 million, with margins contracting sharply from 3.7% to 1.8%.

The decline affected all product segments: sugar sales (representing 65.5% of revenue) fell 25.6%, rice sales dropped 29.3%, and oil and fat products decreased 44.1%. Management attributes these results to external factors including regulatory constraints, supply chain disruptions, and payment challenges in African markets.

Geographically, performance was equally troubling. While Africa remained the dominant market at 51.7% of revenue, it experienced a 15.1% decline. More alarming were steeper drops in key Asian markets, with the Philippines collapsing by 85.3%.

Despite shrinking revenue, operating expenses increased 2.4% to $6.0 million - displaying negative operational leverage. General and administrative expenses rose primarily due to costs associated with being a listed company, now comprising approximately 35.4% of total G&A expenses - a substantial burden during a downturn.

The company's financial position has weakened significantly, with cash and equivalents falling to $0.68 million from $1.3 million a year earlier, while reporting negative operating cash flow of $0.8 million.

Management characterizes these challenges as "temporary headwinds" navigable through their "robust logistics supply chain," but offers only generic strategies focused on market expansion rather than specific tactical initiatives to address the comprehensive financial deterioration.

SINGAPORE, April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Davis Commodities Limited (Nasdaq: DTCK) (the "Company" or "Davis Commodities"), an agricultural commodity trading company that specializes in trading sugar, rice, and oil and fat products, today announced its financial results for the fiscal year 2024.

Revenue

Total revenue was $132.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of 30.6% from $190.7 million for last year. This decrease was primarily attributable to a moderation in sales of sugar and rice products across key markets, particularly in Southeast Asia and Africa.

  For the year ended December 31, 
  2022  %  2023  %  2024  % 
  US$’000     US$’000     US$’000    
                   
Sale of sugar $154,757   74.9  $116,443   61.0  $86,599   65.5 
Sale of rice  34,200   16.5   26,440   13.9   18,680   14.1

Sale of others  192   0.1   218   0.1   448   0.3 
Total revenue $206,717   100.0  $190,724   100.0  $132,369   100.0 
                         

In 2024, our operations in the sugar, rice and palm oil sectors faced a decline in revenue, driven by a range of supply chain disruptions, rising cost, regulatory challenges, and shift in market demand.

 Revenue from sales of sugar was $86.6 million, a decline of 25.6% from $116.4 million in 2023. The sugar segment saw lower volumes due to regulatory constraints and the limited availability of USD payments in certain African countries.
   
 Revenue from sales of rice was $18.7 million, down 29.3% from $26.4 million in 2023. Rice sales were affected by ongoing restrictions on exports from India, which disrupted sourcing and impacted pricing competitiveness.
   
 Revenue from sales of oil and fat products was $26.6 million, a decrease of 44.1% from $47.6 million in 2023. Sales of oil and fat products, which had grown significantly in the prior year, adjusted during 2024, reflecting a normalization in demand and pricing.
   
 Revenue from sales of other products (e.g., creamer and tomato puree) was $0.4 million, reflecting a 105.5% growth from $0.2 million in 2023. Sales of other products, consisting primarily of creamer and tomato puree, reflect a gradual expansion in niche product offerings.
   

A breakdown of revenue by geographic regions for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 is summarized below:

 Indonesia recorded approximately $12.7 million, or 9.6%, reflecting a decrease of approximately $9.8 million, or 43.7%.
   
 Philippines recorded approximately $2.9 million, or 2.2%, reflecting a decrease of approximately $16.5 million, or 85.3%.
   
 These four regions represented the most material changes in our geographic revenue mix for the year.
   

Cost of Revenue

Our cost of revenue decreased by approximately $53.7 million, or 29.2%, to approximately $130.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from approximately $183.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly driven by lower costs across all major product segments. The cost of sugar sales fell by approximately $27.7 million, or 24.5%, while rice and oil and fat products declined by approximately $6.7 million, or 26.6%, and $19.4 million, or 43.0%, respectively. The decline reflects lower sales volumes, product mix changes, and softer raw material prices. The cost of others, primarily creamer and tomato puree, rose slightly in line with increased sales volume, amounting to approximately $0.4 million.

Gross Profit and Gross Margin

For the year ended December 31, 2024, our gross profit decreased by approximately $4.7 million, or 66.9%, to approximately $2.3 million, compared to approximately $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Gross margin declined to 1.8% from 3.7%, due to lower sales volumes, reduced pricing flexibility, and higher input costs arising from commodity price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses of the Company were $6.0 million for fiscal year 2024, which increased by 2.4% from $5.9 million for fiscal year 2023.

 Selling and marketing expenses decreased by approximately $0.7 million, or 29.4%, to approximately $1.7 million, compared to approximately $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was mainly due to lower sales commissions and reduced business development activities.
   
 General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $4.3 million, compared to approximately $3.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in 2024 was primarily attributable to higher listed company-related expenses, which accounted for approximately 35.4% of the total general and administrative expenses. These included legal and professional fees, listing fees, and other associated costs such as transfer agent fees, director fees, investor relations, audit fees and consultancy fees. In addition, an allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $0.3 million was recognized in 2024.
   

Other Income and Interest Expense

Other income was $0.5 million for fiscal year 2024, which increased by 143.4% from $0.2 million for fiscal year 2023. This increase was primarily due to an increase in interest income charged to a related party compared to the previous fiscal year 2023.

Interest expense increased by approximately $0.023 million, or 20.9%, from approximately $0.11 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to approximately $0.13 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was mainly due to full-year interest accrued to a related party, compared to interest that only began accruing from July 2023. The Company also acquired a motor vehicle in 2023 under a finance lease arrangement, which resulted in additional interest expense.

Net Income

Taking into account all of the above, the Group recorded a net loss of approximately $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to a net income of approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and approximately $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Condition

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $0.68 million, compared to $1.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $0.8 million, primarily reflecting our net loss of approximately $3.5 million, as positively adjusted by (i) non-cash expenses such as depreciation, unrealized loss on derivative contract at fair value, allowance for expected credit losses of approximately $0.3 million, and interest expenses totaling approximately $0.1 million, and (ii) a decrease in accounts receivable of approximately $9.4 million. These were offset by (i) a decrease in accounts payable, accruals and other payables of approximately $6.2 million, (ii) a decrease in income tax payable and lease liabilities totaling approximately $0.7 million, and (iii) an increase in margin deposits of approximately $0.04 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.01 million, primarily for administrative and operational purpose.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $0.1 million, mainly attributable to advances from a related party of approximately $0.5 million, partially offset by repayment of bank borrowings of approximately $0.2 million, finance lease repayments of approximately $0.03 million and interest payments totaling of approximately $0.09 million.

FAQ

Why did Davis Commodities (DTCK) stock report a net loss in fiscal year 2024?

Davis Commodities reported a $3.5 million net loss in FY2024 due to a 30.6% revenue decline to $132.4 million, lower sales volumes across sugar and rice products, increased operating expenses, and supply chain disruptions affecting their key markets in Southeast Asia and Africa.

What caused DTCK's revenue to drop by 30.6% in fiscal year 2024?

The revenue drop was primarily due to decreased sales in sugar (down 25.6% to $86.6M), rice (down 29.3% to $18.7M), and oil products (down 44.1% to $26.6M). This was caused by regulatory constraints, limited USD payments in African markets, and Indian export restrictions.

How much cash does Davis Commodities (DTCK) have as of December 2024?

As of December 31, 2024, Davis Commodities had cash and cash equivalents of $0.68 million, down from $1.3 million in December 2023, with net cash used in operating activities of approximately $0.8 million.

What is DTCK's gross profit margin for fiscal year 2024?

DTCK's gross margin declined to 1.8% in FY2024 from 3.7% in FY2023, with gross profit decreasing by 66.9% to $2.3 million due to lower sales volumes, reduced pricing flexibility, and higher input costs.

Which geographic region contributed the most to DTCK's revenue in 2024?

Africa remained DTCK's largest revenue contributor in 2024, accounting for $68.4 million or 51.7% of total revenue, though this represented a 15.1% decrease from 2023.
