BUMA Internasional Grup Reports Improved Operational Performance in Q3 2025

Continued Operational Improvements

PT BUMA Internasional Grup Tbk (DOID) has demonstrated significant operational improvements in the third quarter of 2025. The company achieved a 25% increase in overburden (OB) removal from Q2 2025 to Q3 2025, continuing the positive trend established in the previous quarter when OB removal rose 4% from Q1 to Q2 2025. This consistent improvement reflects the strengthening operational foundation of the company.

Key Operational Highlights

The enhanced performance was driven by several key factors:

1. Equipment Working Hours: Increased by 29% from January to September 2025, supported by higher equipment readiness and stronger utilization.
2. Non-Productive Hours: Reduced by 53% due to drier weather conditions and faster post-rain recovery.
3. Cycle Time: Improved by 12% through better operational planning that reduced dump-time and queuing, along with improvements in disposal areas, haul roads, and geological material handling.

Financial Implications

These operational improvements have translated into significant cost reductions:

• Cash Costs per BCM: Decreased by 28% from Q1 to Q3 2025
• Labor Costs per BCM: Down 45% due to stricter shift discipline that reduced the operator-to-equipment ratio by 13%
• Fuel Costs per BCM: Reduced by 14% through 10% lower fuel consumption, supported by cycle time improvement initiatives
• Repair and Maintenance Costs per BCM: Fell by 13% due to condition-based maintenance and better component planning that increased average component life by 28%

Financial Performance

Despite these operational and cost improvements, BUMA Internasional Grup still reported a loss of US$81 million for the period. The company's financial performance continues to be impacted by various factors that have prevented it from returning to profitability.

Outlook

The consistent operational improvements demonstrated by DOID in 2025 suggest a positive trajectory for the company's performance. Continued focus on operational efficiency and cost management is expected to further strengthen the company's position in the coming quarters.
