The Board of Directors’ View on Business Prospects

The Board of Commissioners has carefully reviewed and examined the business prospects prepared by the Board of Directors taking into account the anticipated dynamics of the global and domestic economy. The Board of Commissioners concurs with the Director’s assessment that the national economy is expected to remain on a positive growth path, despite facing relatively high level of global uncertainty. Indonesia’s economic growth is projected at around 4.7%–5.5%, as presented at the 2025 Bank Indonesia Annual Meeting under the theme “Tangguh dan Mandiri: Sinergi Mendorong Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Lebih Tinggi dan Berdaya Tahan” (“Resilient and Independent: Synergy Driving Higher and More Sustainable Economic Growth”).

Consumer loyalty is a key factor. Business developments within the food and beverage as well as pharmaceutical sectors also contribute to the Company’s growth.

The Board of Commissioners assesses that the 2026 targets and projections are aligned with the Company’s vision, mission, and long-term strategy, which are deemed acceptable as they reflect a realistic and optimistic direction for business development. Growth prospects are also supported by planned market expansion for both domestically and internationally, product diversification and innovation, as well as a strong brand foundation.

At the same time, the Board of Commissioners also notes several potential challenges the Company may face in the future, including rising industry competition, cost pressures, and increasingly dynamic market conditions. Nonetheless, supported by the strategies developed by the Board of Directors, strong brand positioning, and solid operational performance, the Board of Commissioners remains optimistic that the Company has sufficient capacity to sustain revenue growth and positive performance in 2026.

All in all, the Board of Commissioners concludes that the Company’s future business prospects are remain constructive, supported by a strong national economic foundation and a stable financial system.

This monitoring is conducted by emphasizing the importance of good corporate governance as the foundation for managing the business in a healthy, prudent, and ethical manner.

These positive developments are further reflected in the strengthening of GCG mechanisms, including the existence and utilization of the Whistleblowing System (WBS), the conduct of Audit Committee meetings, and regular joint meetings of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors. These meetings are not merely formalities but serve as constructive forums for discussions and exchange of views. Audit Committee meetings are consistently attended by at least one Management in charge, while meetings of the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Directors are attended by all members. Recommendations and inputs from the Board of Commissioners are discussed in these forums, followed up by the Board of Directors, and subsequently reported back to the Board of Commissioners.
