Semen Indonesia Posts Rp80 Billion Profit in Q1 2026

JAKARTA - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) recorded a current period profit attributable to owners of the parent of Rp80 billion in the first quarter of 2026 amid domestic cement industry pressures.

Corporate Secretary of SIG Vita Mahreyni said that this performance was supported by an increase in sales volume, revenue, and the results of business transformation carried out by the company.

"The business transformation carried out by SIG focuses on three main strategies, namely improving the management of the micro market, cost efficiency, and optimizing derivative products of cement and the portfolio which are the catalysts for the company's performance growth," said Vita based on his statement which was reported by Antara, Jakarta, Friday.

In the first quarter of 2026, SIG recorded sales volume of 8.71 million tons or an increase of 1.7 percent year on year (year on year/yoy) compared to the same period last year of 8.57 million tons.

The increase was driven by domestic sales which grew 5.4 percent (yoy), mainly from the bagged cement segment which increased 11 percent (yoy) and exceeded the national demand growth of 7 percent.

Meanwhile, regional sales contracted by 8 percent (yoy) in the same period.

In terms of revenue, SIG recorded Rp8.29 trillion with the main burden of revenue of Rp6.62 trillion.

The company also recorded a pre-tax profit of IDR 156 billion, as well as operating profit measured through EBITDA (profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of IDR 1.06 trillion.

Vita said the performance showed a positive trend that continued since the fourth quarter of 2025, even though the cement industry is still facing overcapacity conditions and cost pressures due to global dynamics.

"In addition to the increase in sales performance, revenue also increased by 8.3 percent accompanied by an increase in profit of 88.7 percent," he said.

On the cost side, the main cost of income increased by 8.6 percent (yoy) due to an increase in sales volume and fuel and energy prices.

Operating expenses also increased by 9 percent (yoy), but net financial expenses were successfully suppressed to fall by 35.4 percent (yoy) through more efficient financial management.

Furthermore, he said that SIG also encourages export market expansion through the development of production facilities to strengthen performance.

The Company through its subsidiary PT Solusi Bangun Indonesia Tbk together with Taiheiyo Cement Corporation has completed the construction of a pier and production facilities for exports in Tuban, East Java.

The facility is targeted to start operating in mid-2026 to increase production utilities while expanding the export market.

"Exports will be an important segment not only to mitigate overcapacity in the domestic industry, but also to increase utility and support stable performance growth," said Vita.
