MAKASSAR (ISL News) - PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim (PJM) once again demonstrated an encouraging financial performance trend for the period from January to August 2026. Based on an analysis of the company's consolidated financial statements, net profit for the year, which is the right of the parent entity's owners, grew significantly by 69% compared to the same period in the previous year. This growth confirms the increasingly strong business foundation of the PJM Group amidst the dynamics of the national port and maritime services industry.
Not only did this achieve annual growth, it also far exceeded the targets set in the Company's Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) for the current period. Net profit realization for the period January–August 2026 reached 128% of the RKAP target for the SD–August 2026 period. This indicates that the company's performance is moving much faster and stronger than the initial projections prepared by management at the beginning of the year.
This solid profit growth is also consistently reflected in various other profitability indicators. The company's operating income grew 51% year-on-year, achieving 111% of the current period's RKAP target. This indicates that the operational efficiency and productivity of PJM Group's business lines are improving over time. Meanwhile, profit before tax also experienced equally impressive growth, at 56% year-on-year, with the achievement rate against the RKAP target reaching 118%.
Overall profit for the year grew 69% compared to the same period last year, with realization against the Company's Work Plan and Budget (RKAP) reaching 128%. This consistent series of growth figures demonstrates that the PJM Group's improved financial performance is the result of comprehensive improvements.
Tubagus Patrick, SVP Corporate Secretary of PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim, stated, "This positive trend further confirms the recovery and strengthening of PJM Group's performance, which has been ongoing since early 2026. This aligns with Danantara's strategic transformation direction to create value for economic growth. Furthermore, this achievement makes the company optimistic about potentially exceeding the targets set in the 2026 RKAP overall. The consistent month-to-month profit growth also reflects the increasingly mature cost management, business synergy between subsidiaries, and optimization of various strategic lines within the PJM Group."
As we enter the second half of 2026, the profit growth momentum established since the beginning of the year is expected to be maintained and even strengthened, along with the continuation of operational efficiency programs, accelerated strategic investment realization, and strengthened business synergies across all entities within the PJM Group. This positive financial performance trend can be maintained through the end of the 2026 fiscal year.
