PT AKR Corporindo Tbk (AKRA) posted an increase in net profit of 30% to Rp925 billion in 2020, compared to the same period in 2019  of Rp714 billion, an increase in profit margins supported this growth.

"The balance sheet has also shown a strong performance with a decrease in the portion of the debt to equity to 22%," he said in Jakarta, Thursday (25/3).

According to Haryanto, this net profit growth shows the company's robust business model. The reason is, even amid the Covid-19 pandemic, AKR was able to survive and record consistent performance.

This can be seen from the operating profit margin, which increased to 7.1%, and the net profit margin reaching 5.2%.
