Prices and Financial Metrics Interpretation
In Java, cement prices rose 8% to IDR 1.25 million per ton in 2022, proving that while building a nation's infrastructure is noble, it's also a fantastically profitable way to move heavy rocks from one place to another, especially when a 38% gross margin and a 22% industry EBITDA can absorb a IDR 150,000 freight cost and still leave room for a IDR 5 trillion dividend party.
