SIG Profit Jumps 446 Percent on Stronger Domestic Cement Demand

RRI.CO.ID, Jakarta - State‑owned building materials company PT Semen Indonesia (SIG) posted a strong profit surge in the first half of 2026, driven by recovering domestic cement demand and the strengthening of its business ecosystem.

SIG recorded sales volume of 18.28 million metric tons, up 5.6 percent year‑on‑year (yoy). Domestic sales rose 9.7 percent to 14.18 million metric tons, supported by increased activity in construction, infrastructure, industrial investment, and downstream processing.

SIG President Director Indrieffouny Indra said business transformation has helped the company withstand pressures in the domestic cement industry. “Discipline and consistency in implementing business transformation have made SIG increasingly resilient amid challenging conditions in the domestic cement industry,” he said in a statement in Jakarta on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, as quoted by Antara.

SIG’s revenue rose 13.1 percent to IDR 17.65 trillion, while EBITDA increased 2.6 percent to IDR 2.15 trillion. Net income surged 445.9 percent to IDR 207 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent entity grew 471 percent to IDR 228 billion.

SIG’s performance was supported by business model transformation, cost efficiencies, the development of derivative products and building solutions, and stronger resources and governance. The company is also implementing the SIG Group Entity Streamlining initiative to simplify its business structure and improve efficiency.

SIG is strengthening its market presence through nine cement brands, including the relaunch of Semen Kujang in West Java. The brand has partnered with the PERSIB Bandung soccer club as its Official Cement Partner to expand retail market penetration.

The company is also optimizing digitalization and artificial intelligence (AI) across its supply chain. SIG’s network includes 10 integrated cement plants, 26 packaging plants, six grinding plants, seven ports, more than 300 distributors, and more than 63,000 retail stores.

Indrieffouny expressed optimism that second‑half sales will remain positive. “With an integrated business ecosystem and an extensive distribution network, SIG has a strong foundation to drive sales performance and achieve profitable business growth,” he said.

In terms of sustainability, SIG’s products marketed in Indonesia contain a Domestic Component Level (TKDN) of more than 90 percent, and their carbon emissions are up to 38 percent lower than those of conventional cement. SIG is also increasing the use of alternative fuels and raw materials and improving energy and production efficiency. ***
