Semen Indonesia Strengthens Transformation to Maintain Positive Performance Trend

Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) is committed to maintaining its positive performance trend through consistent business transformation, focusing on increasing sales, cost efficiency, and strengthening the product portfolio and company competitiveness. “Not standing still with the industry conditions experiencing a slowdown in 2025, SIG is taking strategic steps to increase growth opportunities,” said SIG President Director Indrieffouny Indra in an official statement in Jakarta on Friday. He conveyed that management’s decision in the second half of 2025 to undertake transformation focused on competitiveness, targeting market share growth and profitability strengthening, has shown positive results. He mentioned that the business transformation implemented since July 2025 focuses on three main strategies: improving micro-market management, cost efficiency, and optimisation of derivative cement products and portfolio. “This continues to yield positive results. The company’s performance has improved consistently, particularly in the second semester of 2025 with strong momentum in the fourth quarter of 2025,” said Indra during the SIG FY25 (Audited) Results Call. He explained that domestic cement demand in 2025, which contracted by 1.5% year-on-year, also impacted SIG’s domestic sales decline. However, SIG demonstrated its ability to recover stronger. Throughout 2025, Indra continued, SIG recorded a sales volume of 37.93 million tonnes. One significant improvement indicator is the sales volume of 10.47 million tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2025, contributing to a total sales volume growth of 1.1% year-on-year. “This achievement proves the effectiveness of the transformation strategy implemented by SIG, especially in major markets with high margins,” he stated. According to him, overall in the second semester of 2025 since implementing the business transformation strategy, SIG has experienced a sales increase trend from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. Even in the fourth quarter, SIG’s bagged cement sales volume grew rapidly by 5.7% year-on-year, significantly exceeding the market which only grew by 2% year-on-year. On the other hand, export sales also became an important pillar in supporting SIG’s total volume amid weakening domestic demand. Export volume increased significantly by 14.9% year-on-year to around 6.4 million tonnes. “The positive trend continues. In the first two months of 2026, SIG successfully recorded a 9.7% increase in domestic sales, where significant growth occurred in the bagged cement segment by 14.6%,” he explained. Indra added that the positive performance achievement at the beginning of the year becomes a solid foundation for SIG to navigate 2026 and strengthen optimism in the sustainability of the transformation strategy focused on strengthening the cement business model. In addition, cost efficiency, acceleration of derivative business ecosystem growth and building solutions, as well as improvements in governance and company resources. “We are confident that SIG is currently on the right track. Therefore, we are fully committed to continuing the transformation in a disciplined and consistent manner to create sustainable growth and deliver value to shareholders and customers,” said Indra.
