        "content": "<p>PT Antam Tbk (ANTM) demonstrated business resilience amid global\neconomic turmoil by recording its best financial performance in the\ncompany\u2019s history in 2025. This achievement led the company to\ndistribute dividends amounting to Rp5.04 trillion to shareholders while\nalso preparing funds for business expansion and strategic downstream\nprojects. The decision was approved at the Annual General Meeting of\nShareholders (RUPST) for the 2025 Fiscal Year in Jakarta on Wednesday\n(10\/6\/2026). From the total net profit attributable to owners of the\nparent entity, Antam allocated 70 per cent, or Rp5.04 trillion, as\ndividends, while 30 per cent, or Rp2.16 trillion, was retained to\nsupport the company\u2019s business development and strategic projects. The\njumbo dividend distribution was supported by a surge in Antam\u2019s\nfinancial performance throughout 2025. The company booked revenue of\nRp84.64 trillion, a 22 per cent increase from the previous year. Net\nprofit soared 106 per cent compared to the 2024 achievement. Antam\u2019s\nPresident Director, Untung Budiharto, said this achievement is an\nimportant milestone for the company amidst challenging global market\ndynamics. \u201cAmidst global market dynamics and industry challenges, we\nsuccessfully recorded the best operational and financial performance in\nthe company\u2019s history. This reflects the strong business fundamentals,\nthe effectiveness of disciplined strategies, and the commitment of all\ncompany personnel in optimising the potential of national mineral\nresources to create sustainable added value,\u201d said Untung. According to\nhim, this success was supported by increased productivity, operational\nefficiency, optimisation of asset and mineral resource management, and\nsupply chain strengthening. The company also recorded an increase in the\nproduction and sales of its main commodities, especially nickel and\nbauxite, to the highest level in more than a decade. \u201cAmidst economic\nuncertainty and world commodity price volatility, we are optimistic\nabout maintaining growth momentum by strengthening business\nfundamentals, operational digitalisation, cost management discipline,\nand accelerating mineral downstreaming that provides greater added value\nfor the national economy,\u201d he said. Antam\u2019s Director of Corporate\nStrategy, Business Development, and Commercial, Handi Sutanto, explained\nthat although the dividend value increased from the previous year, the\ncompany maintained investment room to finance long-term growth.\n\u201cNominally, dividends increased, but the payout ratio decreased from 100\nper cent to 70 per cent. This is part of our effort to prepare for\nAntam\u2019s future through various business development projects currently\nunderway. We retain some of the profits to finance projects that will\nbecome new sources of growth for the company,\u201d said Handi. He added that\nthe company\u2019s current strategy focuses on strengthening the core\nbusiness and building a foundation for future growth through operational\ntransformation and downstream development. \u201cStrengthening the core,\nbuilding the future. We are strengthening our business foundation to be\nready to step further and generate greater value for shareholders,\u201d he\nstated. Besides approving the use of net profit, the RUPST granted\napproval for Antam to accept a strategic government assignment in\naccelerating nickel downstreaming and developing the national electric\nvehicle battery ecosystem. Through cooperation with PT Industri Baterai\nIndonesia and the HYD Investment Limited consortium, Antam is involved\nin building an integrated electric vehicle battery ecosystem from\nupstream to downstream, ranging from nickel mining, refining facilities,\nprecursor and cathode production, to battery cell manufacturing and\nbattery recycling facilities. \u201cThis step is considered a new source of\neconomic growth for the company while strengthening Indonesia\u2019s position\nin the global electric vehicle industry supply chain,\u201d said Handi. At\nthis RUPST, Antam refreshed its management as part of efforts to\nstrengthen business transformation and accelerate the national mineral\ndownstreaming agenda. During the meeting, shareholders approved the\nappointment of Aryanto Wibowo as the Company\u2019s Commissioner.\nAdditionally, Antam appointed I Dewa Wirantaya as Director of Downstream\nStrategy and Downstream Operations and Arini Kasmira as Director of\nFinance and Risk Management.
