This positive performance was supported by a net revenue growth of 48.9%, from Rp258.63 billion in the first semester of 2024 to Rp385.17 billion in the first semester of this year. Sales of crude palm oil (CPO) became the largest contributor with revenue of Rp332.19 billion, up from Rp237.92 billion.
Additionally, sales of palm kernel also showed significant improvement, from Rp18.61 billion to Rp52.40 billion. However, sales of palm shells experienced a sharp decline from Rp2.09 billion to only Rp571.13 million.
Although the cost of goods sold increased to Rp242.45 billion from Rp211.28 billion previously, the company's gross profit still soared to Rp142.71 billion, far above last year's figure of Rp47.35 billion.
Improvements in efficiency and operational management were also reflected in operating profit, which surged from Rp32.89 billion to Rp119.09 billion in the first half of this year.
From a financial balance sheet perspective, PGUN's total assets as of the end of June 2025 were recorded at Rp2.64 trillion, a slight increase from the end of 2024 position of Rp2.63 trillion. Meanwhile, the company's liabilities decreased from Rp846.24 billion to Rp781.26 billion. This condition also encouraged an increase in equity from Rp1.79 trillion to Rp1.86 trillion.
With these achievements, PGUN asserts its position as one of the strong players in the national palm oil industry, proving its ability to adapt and innovate in managing business amid commodity price fluctuations and global challenges. (T2)
