Jakarta – President Director & Chief Executive Officer of Bakrie & Brothers (BNBR), Anindya Novyan Bakrie conveyed that his company managed to reach a net profit IDR348.31 billion throughout 2023.
"This figure increased by IDR116.38 billion or 50.18 percent compared to the same period the previous year which amounted to IDR231.93 billion," Bakrie said in a statement in Jakarta, on Thursday.
He explained the achievement was the result of good synergy between several strategic projects of business units, especially in two main sectors, namely manufacturing and information technology (IT).

With this debt settlement, the Company's debt-to-equity ratio has become much better and healthier from IDR12.08 trillion in the previous year to IDR589.27 billion in 2023.
"Thus, the condition of the Company's balance sheet becomes healthier. So it’s hoped that BNBR can move faster than before in the future," Sakti concluded.
