JAKARTA - PT Karya Pacific Energy Tbk (IATA) spoke out regarding the decline in net profit in the first half of 2026. For information, IATA's net profit in the first half of 2026 was recorded at US $ 596,324 if compared to the same period last year which was recorded at US $ 5.47 million.
IATA President Director, Suryo Eko Hadianto admitted that the financial condition in the first six months of 2026 on the bottom line experienced a significant decline.
"But if you look at the cost per ton, we can still maintain it well. From the price it is also quite good, the price has improved this year," said Suryo, Monday, August 10.
According to him, this decline in profits is due to the limitations of production quotas set by the government through the Work Plan and Budget (RKAB).
On the other hand, the company said coal prices this year actually showed improvement. Thus, the pressure on the performance of the first semester is not solely due to selling prices and production costs, but is more related to production volume restrictions.
"Maybe almost 80 percent of coal mining companies in the first half of last year in Indonesia have all experienced it. This is a fairly heavy problem faced by all mining companies related to production quotas set by the government," he explained.
To overcome this problem, he continued, IATA is currently submitting a revision of the RKAB to the government. The company hopes that the revision of the production quota that is being processed can be approved immediately so that production volume increases again and the company's performance can recover.
"We are taking care of, we are processing the revision of the RKAB. The revision of our production quota. With the change or the revision of the RKAB, it is hoped that the company will recover soon, that is the first. But fundamentally, our coal mining business activities are still going quite well. Infrastructure has been built," he said.
With the readiness of infrastructure and plans to increase capacity, management is optimistic that IATA's performance can improve again if the revision of the RKAB goes smoothly.
"We are very confident that if we can get RKAB, RKAB will be smooth for us," said Suryo.
