Business Model Transformation Helps Curb Losses
The management of the food and beverage network, PT Platinum Wahab Nusantara Tbk (PWN), recorded significant improvements in financial performance throughout 2025. The company succeeded in cutting losses by up to 74% year-on-year thanks to operational efficiency strategies and diversification of non-retail business lines.
This fundamental improvement was driven by a change in the company’s business direction, now focusing more on scalable and sustainable business models. This momentum marks a new phase for the company in pursuing future profitability.
PWN Director, Maulana Hakim, explained that 2025 was a crucial period for the company to restructure its strategy.
“Our focus is no longer just on expanding the number of outlets, but on maximising productivity per asset and cutting non-essential costs to achieve a stronger bottom line,” said Maulana in his official statement on Thursday (9/4/2026).
One of the main drivers of this performance improvement is the significant contribution from the new business unit in the non-retail segment. The frozen meat business line contributed revenue of Rp 32.8 billion in 2025. Meanwhile, the beverage segment remains an important contributor to the company’s portfolio with earnings of Rp 8.6 billion.
This diversification step marks a gradual shift for PWN from a retail outlet-based business model towards strengthening products and distribution. With this new portfolio, the company is now able to reach the Business-to-Business (B2B) market, such as the catering industry, hospitality, and modern trade.
“This expansion allows faster penetration into the B2B and modern retail markets with more stable margins in the long term,” added Maulana.
Throughout the previous year, the company disciplinedly carried out operational restructuring. This strategic step included closing unproductive sales points and centralising the supply chain. This strategy proved effective in reducing the overall business burden.
To maintain positive momentum in 2026, PWN plans to continue strengthening operational readiness through supply chain optimisation and increased inventory capacity. Management is optimistic that the transformation undertaken will become a strong foundation for healthier and more sustainable company growth.
With a focus on revenue quality and distribution channel development, PT PWN targets a increasingly solid financial position and soon achieving a profitability phase in the future.
