Semen Baturaja Named the Best Public Company 2025, Thanks to Strong Fundamentals and Increasing Transactions

, ,

JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), once again achieved a remarkable achievement by winning the “Best Public Company 2025 in the Construction Materials Industry for Extravagant Demand on Transactions” award from Warta Ekonomi.

The award was presented at the Indonesia Best Public Company Awards 2025, held on Friday (October 31) at The Sultan Hotel & Residence Jakarta, and was accepted by SMBR’s President Director, Suherman Yahya.

With the overarching theme “Strengthening Public Companies as the Backbone of Indonesia’s Golden Economy 2045,” this award affirms the strategic role of public companies as key catalysts in realizing a resilient, inclusive, and globally competitive Indonesian economy.

This award recognizes public companies that have demonstrated strong financial fundamentals, good governance, and increased investor interest in the capital market. SMBR is considered successful in maintaining positive performance and is one of the issuers with a significant increase in stock transaction activity.

This achievement aligns with SMBR’s solid performance through the third quarter of 2025, where the Company recorded a net profit of Rp146.3 billion, a fourfold year-on-year increase compared to Rp35.6 billion in the same period the previous year.

This increase in net profit was driven by operating revenue growth, which reached Rp1.78 trillion, a 27% year-on-year increase from Rp1.4 trillion in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to increased cement sales volume in the key regions of South Sumatra, Lampung, and Jambi.

Contributions from non-cement products, such as white clay, also nearly tripled to Rp16.7 billion.
This increase in net profit also significantly boosted SMBR’s net profit margin, reflecting the effectiveness of its cost efficiency strategy, supply chain optimization, and consistent operational transformation.
SMBR President Director, Suherman Yahya, stated that this award is a clear reflection of the success of the Company’s strategy in strengthening market confidence.

“We are grateful for this recognition. This award not only reflects our strong financial performance but also reflects investor confidence in our long-term strategy. We will continue to focus on efficiency, innovation, and sustainable growth to create added value for shareholders,” said Suherman.

Furthermore, Suherman emphasized that SMBR’s growth momentum is the result of the hard work of all our employees and strong synergy with the holding company, SIG Group.
“We view 2025 as a critical year for Semen Baturaja’s business transformation. We will continue to strengthen market penetration in South Sumatra, Lampung, and Jambi, develop value-added products, and expand our contribution to sustainable development. Our goal is clear—to be a company that grows healthily, is trusted by the market, and provides optimal returns for investors,” he emphasized.
As part of strengthening its future business strategy, SMBR has also officially added a new business line based on KBLI 70209 (Other Management Consulting Activities). This step aims to support the implementation of the Sales Area Coordinator concept in Jambi, South Sumatra, and Lampung, with potential returns in the form of management fees.
This new business model allows SMBR to expand its role within the SIG Group’s value chain, drive distribution efficiency, and strengthen multi-brand penetration in regional markets. With this strategy, SMBR is believed to be able to strengthen its position in the Sumatran market while opening up new revenue growth opportunities in the future.
“This additional business activity is part of our business transformation to become more adaptive to market needs. With the support of the SIG Group, SMBR is ready to play a more strategic role in expanding the national building materials industry ecosystem,” added Suherman.
With increasingly solid fundamentals, ongoing transformation, and a targeted diversification strategy, SMBR is optimistic that it can maintain its growth momentum and strengthen the attractiveness of its shares to investors. (*)

Semen Baturaja’s Growth Momentum Continues, Reporting a Quadrupling in Net Profits Through Q3 2025

, ,

JAKARTA – PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR), a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), once again recorded solid performance through the third quarter of 2025. The company posted revenue of IDR 1.78 trillion, a 27% year-on-year (yoy) growth compared to IDR 1.4 trillion in the same period last year.

This increase in revenue drove a surge in SMBR’s net profit, which reached IDR 146.3 billion, a more than fourfold increase year-on-year (yoy) compared to IDR 35.6 billion in the same period last year.

This achievement was also reflected in the increase in EBITDA, which reached IDR 383.5 billion, a 46% increase compared to IDR 262.1 billion in the same period last year. This increase demonstrates the effectiveness of the Company’s efficiency strategy in strengthening profitability and competitiveness.

The growth in financial performance was also supported by an increase in cement sales volume, which reached 1.87 million tons, a 21% increase compared to 1.54 million tons in the same period last year. Strong demand in SMBR’s key regions, namely Jambi, South Sumatra, and Lampung, continues to be the Company’s primary growth driver.

According to data from the Indonesian Cement Association (ASI), cement demand in SMBR’s marketing areas grew 9.6% year-on-year (yoy) through the third quarter of 2025, providing positive momentum for SMBR to strengthen its position in the domestic market.

SMBR Vice President and Corporate Secretary, Hari Liandu, stated that this achievement reflects the tangible results of the company’s consistent transformation strategy.

“The positive performance through the third quarter of 2025 demonstrates the effectiveness of our cost efficiency and distribution strengthening strategies in our key regions. Cement demand in the Jambi, South Sumatra, and Lampung markets shows a solid growth trend, supported by strong synergy with the SIG Group in maintaining supply chain efficiency and expanding market reach,” Hari said.

In addition to its core cement business, SMBR’s revenue is also supported by the diversification of non-cement products, which has recorded significant growth, particularly in white clay products. By the third quarter of 2025, white clay sales had nearly tripled year-on-year (yoy) to IDR 16.7 billion, compared to IDR 5.8 billion in the same period last year.

Furthermore, Hari added that the non-cement business line is now a promising new pillar for SMBR.

“White clay products are proof of the success of SMBR’s diversification strategy. Its contribution to revenue continues to increase and strengthens our business fundamentals beyond the cement sector,” he explained.

This growth momentum will also be bolstered by the Company’s strategic move to add new business activities, approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on October 29, 2025. SMBR officially added the KBLI 70209 (Other Management Consulting Activities) business line to support the implementation of the Sales Area Coordinator concept in Jambi, South Sumatra, and Lampung, with potential returns in the form of management fees.

This new business model allows SMBR to expand its role within the SIG Group value chain, drive distribution efficiency, and strengthen multi-brand penetration in regional markets.

“This additional business activity is a strategic step to expand market potential while strengthening collaboration with other SIG subsidiaries. With a more flexible and integrated business model, we are ready to increase our contribution to the Group’s performance while creating sustainable added value for shareholders,” said Hari.

Looking ahead, SMBR is optimistic about maintaining strong performance until the end of 2025 by focusing on efficiency, increasing factory utilization, and diversifying our products.

“We are committed to creating sustainable growth by focusing on profitability, operational efficiency, and product innovation. SMBR will continue to strengthen its position in the regional market and maintain its attractiveness to investment in the national cement industry,” Hari concluded.

With this achievement, SMBR confirms its increasingly solid business fundamentals and promising growth prospects, strengthening its position as a major player in the cement industry in Sumatra and part of the SIG Group in supporting sustainable national infrastructure development. (*)
