The state-owned pharmaceutical company, PT Indofarma Tbk, recorded sales of Rp2.9 trillion (approximately US$197 million) in 2021. This represents a 69% increase from Rp1.72 trillion (approximately US$117 million) in 2020.
Indofarma's sales were dominated by drug sales, reaching Rp2.1 trillion (approximately US$143 million). Meanwhile, sales of medical devices and other products totaled Rp802.1 billion (approximately US$54 million).
Despite the increase in sales, Indofarma recorded a net loss of Rp37.58 billion (approximately US$2.5 million). This is in stark contrast to the Rp27.58 million (approximately US$1,800) profit achieved in 2020.
One reason for this loss was the 86% increase in cost of goods sold, which swelled to Rp2.45 trillion (approximately US$167 million). In 2020, the cost of goods sold was Rp1.31 trillion (approximately US$89 million).
Indofarma is part of the state-owned pharmaceutical holding company, which also includes PT Biofarma (Persero) and PT Kimia Farma Tbk. Biofarma acts as the parent holding company.
