PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk (IDX Stock Code: UCID), a leading manufacturer of baby care products, sanitary napkins, healthcare and adult diapers, as well as pet food and toiletries, has announced its consolidated financial results for the first half of 2026. The company recorded a strong operational recovery and improved financial performance throughout the period.
Solid Financial Performance Recovery
During the first half of 2026, UCID recorded consolidated net revenue of Rp4.44 trillion, representing a 4.1% increase from Rp4.27 trillion in the same period in 2025. The growth was supported by stronger sales, with domestic sales reaching Rp4.02 trillion and export sales reaching Rp423.45 billion.
Through improved operational efficiency, the company recorded an operating profit of Rp116.36 billion, turning positive from an operating loss of Rp2.29 billion in the first half of 2025. Overall, UCID posted a current-period profit of Rp158.62 billion, marking a significant turnaround from the Rp6.15 billion loss recorded during the same period last year.
The company's improved fundamentals also received a positive response from the capital market. UCID's share price strengthened by approximately 11.8%, rising from Rp372 per share at the end of June 2026 to above Rp410 per share in early August 2026. While the increase reflects growing market confidence in the company's recovery, share price movements remain subject to broader market conditions, sector sentiment and other external factors.
Portfolio Strengthening and Distribution Strategy
Commenting on the company's performance, President Director of PT Uni-Charm Indonesia Tbk Yasutaka Nishioka said the positive results were driven by strategic efforts to optimize the company's business portfolio, particularly through increasing the contribution of its Feminine Care (FC) segment, which helped improve the gross profit ratio.
"At the same time, UCID strengthened its distribution channels to the General Trade (GT) network and increased product exposure. This positive growth was also supported by strong performance on the e-commerce platform, restructuring of the distribution network, and increasingly stable cash flow and receivables turnover management," Nishioka said.
Outlook for Semester II-2026
Looking ahead to the second half of 2026, UCID aims to maintain its growth momentum while responding to external challenges, including rising material and shipping costs linked to the situation in the Middle East and Indonesia's broader economic conditions.
The company plans to strengthen its management foundation by accelerating profitable business categories, making focused investments in distribution channel growth and continuing to develop products that meet evolving market needs.
"We carry out these business activities in line with our sustainability commitment to 'Ethical Living for SDGs' to provide long-term added value for society, the environment, and all stakeholders," Nishioka concluded.
