Jakarta, June 24, 2021 – Pertamina's success in maintaining positive performance during the pandemic has received excellent responses from the public, including investors. In the future, Pertamina is ready to strengthen its business foundation by accelerating new businesses.
Despite facing the challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic, Pertamina managed to save USD 4.7 billion in costs and recorded an EBITDA of USD 7.6 billion and a net profit of USD 1.05 billion in 2020.
Not only scoring a positive performance, but Pertamina also carved a new milestone with the formation of 6 sub holdings, namely in the Upstream, Gas, Commercial & Trading, Refining & Petrochemical, Integrated Marine, and New & Renewable Energy sectors.
At the Pertamina Investor Day 2021 event, Deputy Minister I of SOE Pahala N Mansury highlighted that the establishment of a subholding, which had full support from the Government as Pertamina's shareholder, represented Pertamina's commitment to increase total market value.
"We have aspirations to increase the overall market value of Pertamina's holdings and sub holdings to reach around US$ 100 billion. Several corporate actions are needed. It includes finding partners, whether it is through Indonesia Investment Authorities or several corporate actions. We hope that all of these initiatives are going to be supported by all of our investors. We hope that all of this will eventually be very positive to the value of your investment in Pertamina," he said on Wednesday (23/6).
