Smartnews - March 2026 SMART reported a robust first quarter 2026 performance, with an increase in EBITDA and net profit to Rp 1.66 trillion and Rp 830 billion, respectively This achievement underscores the resilience of our integrated business model and the continued execution of our strategy to drive value creation across the business value chain FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE In billion Rupiah 1Q 2026 1Q 2025 Change Net sales 20,734 21,158 -2% Cost of goods sold 17,782 19,089 -7% Gross profit 2,952 2,069 43% Income from operations 1,325 462 187% EBITDA 1,659 1,106 50% Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company 830 134 518% Net sales in the first quarter 2026 declined slightly by 2% to Rp 20.7 trillion, primarily due to lower sales volumes and partly offset by higher average selling price. With our focus on pursuing higher value-added products, the contribution of refined branded and unbranded products (including biodiesel and oleochemicals) expanded to 93% from 84% of total sales in the first quarter of last year. CPO and other non-refined product sales represented the remaining 7%. Cost of goods sold for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 decreased by 7% to Rp 17.78 trillion from Rp 19.09 trillion in the previous year, mostly due to lower raw material costs following a decline in sales volume. In line with the increase in gross profit, income from operations for the quarter also expanded to Rp 1.32 trillion, partly offset by a modest increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was largely due to higher general and administrative expenses related to an increase in salaries, wages, and employees' benefits. As a result, EBITDA increased by 50% to Rp 1.66 trillion, from Rp 1.11 trillion in the first quarter of 2025. The bottom line was further supported by an 80% reduction in foreign exchange losses and a 27% decline in financial expenses. Consequently, net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company surged to Rp 830 billion, resulting in earnings per share of Rp 289. 1 FINANCIAL POSITION In billion Rupiah 31-Mar-26 31-Dec-25 Change Assets 45,894 45,203 2% Liabilities 22,610 22,768 -1% Equity attributable to owners of the parent company 23,269 22,420 4% Debt to Equity ratio (times) 0.68x 0.73x As of 31 March 2026, the Company's total assets grew by 2% to Rp 45.9 trillion from Rp 45.2 trillion at the end of 2025. The increase was mainly attributable to higher accounts and other receivables, fixed assets, bearer plants as well as long-term investments, partly offset by a decrease in inventories. Total liabilities as per end of March 2026 stood at Rp 22.6 trillion, slightly lower compared to that at end of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower bank loan balance, partly offset by the issuances of bond and sukuk ijarah in February 2026. As of 31 March 2026, bank loans (including bonds payable and sukuk ijarah) totaled Rp 15.9 trillion, a slight decrease compared to Rp 16.4 trillion at the end of 2025.
