PT SEMEN BATURAJA (PERSERO) TBK JAKARTA - In the midst of the condition of the national cement industry which is still experiencing contraction, PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR) as a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), was able to record positive performance in the third quarter of 2023. These results were presented directly at the Public Expose event ( Pubex) SMBR 2023 which will be held in a hybrid manner on Tuesday (24/10) at the Bidakara Hotel, Jakarta, as well as live streaming via the Ms Teams platform.
On this occasion, the presentation was delivered directly by the Main Director of SMBR Daconi Khotob who was accompanied by the Director of Finance & HR Functions Rahmat Hidayat, Director of Operations Functions Suherman Yahya and Vice President of Corporate Secretary Basthony Santri.
Daconi said that by the end of September 2023, SMBR had managed to record an increase in revenue of 1.45 trillion or an increase of 10% compared to the same period last year. This income was driven by cement sales of IDR 1.42 trillion, plus White Clay sales of IDR 27.62 billion, which grew 13% from the same period last year.
"This encouraged an increase in net profit which grew significantly to Rp. 53.96 billion or an increase of 25% compared to the same period last year. "The increasing net profit was also supported by a decrease in interest expenses as a result of refinancing bank debt and accelerating principal payments on syndicated credit loans," said Daconi during his presentation.
