However, amidst the weakening national trend, the market in the Southern Sumatra (Sumbagsel) region actually showed positive growth of 2.4% compared to last year.\n \n \n This relatively resilient regional market performance is one of the supporting factors for PT Semen Baturaja Tbk (SMBR) as a subsidiary of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG), to record impressive growth throughout Q1-2025.\n \n \n Throughout January to March 2025, cement sales volume reached 533,337 tons, growing 10% compared to the same period last year of 486,643 tons. Not only supported by cement sales growth, the increase was also supported by the positive performance of the product diversification line. White clay sales volume was recorded at 9,125 tons, a 104% jump compared to the same period last year of 4,468 tons.\n \n \n Along with the increase in sales volume, the company's revenue grew 22% to IDR527.82 billion from the previous IDR432.4 billion. This growth was driven by sales contributions to related parties of IDR487.11 billion, sales to third parties of IDR34.27 billion, and sales from the non-cement business segment (product diversification) which also provided an additional IDR6.42 billion.\n \n \n SMBR's financial performance also showed a significant jump, with a net profit of IDR48.96 billion or a jump of 864% compared to the same period last year of IDR5.07 billion. EBITDA also increased 62% to IDR130.08 billion, reflecting continued improvement in efficiency in the production and operational processes.\n \n \n In addition to recording solid financial performance, SMBR recorded an increase in sustainability performance in Q1-2025. The reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions was successfully suppressed to 548.42 kgCO₂/ton cement eq, down from 594.51 kgCO₂/ton cement eq in the same period last year. This decrease was driven by the optimization of the use of alternative fuels or Alternative Fuel and Raw Material (AFR) which increased by 82% to 5,273 tons from the previous 2,897 tons. Along w...
