Indofarma's Restructuring Efforts Show Positive Momentum

Financial Performance Improvement

PT Indofarma Tbk (INAF), a state-owned pharmaceutical company, is demonstrating positive signs in its ongoing restructuring and business recovery efforts. By the third quarter of 2025, the company has managed to reduce its net loss by 23.66% year-on-year to Rp127.09 billion. This financial improvement is attributed to the company's successful cost management strategies.

Key Factors in Performance Enhancement

Analysts from BRI Danareksa Sekuritas highlight that Indofarma's improved financials are primarily due to significant reductions in operating expenses. The company achieved an 83.5% decrease in sales expenses and successfully lowered financial costs, demonstrating effective fiscal discipline and operational efficiency. These measures have contributed to a sharp decline in the operating expense to sales ratio.

Challenges Ahead

Despite the positive developments, analysts emphasize that Indofarma's recovery process still requires strong financial backing. The company's ability to maintain its current trajectory will depend on continued support and effective management of its financial restructuring.

Market Implications

The progress made by Indofarma is being closely monitored by market participants as it reflects the potential for recovery in the pharmaceutical sector. Successful restructuring could have positive implications for other companies in similar situations.
