But\nonce again, this will depend on what is announced during the RUPS.\nBecause, ultimately, dividends are the prerogative of the shareholders,\u201d\nhe explained.<\/p>\n<p>Previously, the Company decided not to distribute dividends for the\n2025 financial year. This was due to BTN\u2019s need for significant capital\nto fund large-scale business expansion plans, including the direct\npurchase of third-party credit portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>BTN recorded a consolidated net profit of Rp2.4 trillion throughout\nthe first half of 2026, an increase of 40.8 per cent year-on-year. This\nprofit was supported by credit and financing disbursements, which rose\n11.2 per cent year-on-year to Rp418.11 trillion as of the end of June\n2026.<\/p>\n<p>This credit growth was accompanied by a gross non-performing loan\n(NPL) ratio of 3 per cent, an improvement compared to the June 2025\nposition of 3.3 per cent.<\/p>",
