Meanwhile, the Cost of Goods Sold experienced an increase, including components of royalty fees, rail transportation, and mining services.

Therefore, PTBA continues to strive to maximize domestic market potential and export opportunities to maintain good performance. The company also consistently prioritizes cost leadership in every line of the company, so that the implementation of sustainable efficiency can be carried out optimally.

Apart from that, the Company hopes that the formation of a Management Agency Partner (MIP) can be realized soon and will have a good impact on PTBA’s financial performance.
