Mr. Haryanto Adikoesoemo, President Director of AKRA, said;
"The Company maintained the growth momentum in 1H 2020, particularly in a very challenging 2Q 2020. This is a testament to our 1) Stable and proven business model, 2) our product portfolio comprising essential products, 3) wide geographical presence supported by strong logistic infrastructure, and 4) hard work and experience of our management and employees to produce strong performance.
AKR business model is based on pass-through of volatility in product prices and exchange rates, eliminating inventory loss risk. This is reflected in another quarter of steady Gross Profit growth by our Trading and Distribution segment, despite sharp drop in Oil prices. JIIPE continues to see investor interest, translating into land sales and regular lease and utilities revenue. With the planned passing of Omnibus Law, this process is expected to accelerate.”
He further added, “In 2H 2020, we will do our best to maintain the current growth momentum. Recent increase in FAME quota by 45% will support this effort. We are closely monitoring the environment under which our customers are operating and the development of Covid-19 infection rate. But since we have been able to achieve significant milestone in the first half, we hope to be able to achieve our year- end target also.”
Strong balance sheet, Fundamentals remain Solid
