InfoSAWIT, JAKARTA – PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana Tbk (SSMS) has decided to distribute Rp800 billion in cash dividends to shareholders, equivalent to Rp83.99 per share, or 68.92 percent of profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent entity. The decision was approved at the company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) held today.
The dividend distribution will be allocated proportionally to all shareholders based on their respective ownership stakes. This policy reflects the company’s commitment to continuously deliver added value to shareholders, while maintaining operational performance amid the dynamics of the palm oil industry.
Meanwhile, the company’s remaining net profit of Rp360.69 billion, or around 31.08 percent of net income, has been designated as other reserves, which will strengthen retained earnings to support future business development needs.
During the AGMS, shareholders also approved the reappointment of Rimbun Situmorang as Commissioner of the company. The decision forms part of efforts to maintain leadership continuity while ensuring the company’s supervisory function remains effective and consistent.
President Director of PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana Tbk, Jap Hartono, emphasized that the company continues to strengthen its sustainability governance through the development of supply chain traceability systems, implementation of sustainable plantation practices, and compliance with both national and global certification standards, including Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) and Indonesian Sustainable Palm Oil (ISPO).
According to Jap, these efforts are not only intended to ensure compliance with applicable regulations, but also to reinforce the company’s position as a responsible palm oil producer with strong competitiveness in international markets.
“Through disciplined operational management and strengthened sustainability governance, the company has been able to maintain performance stability amid continuously evolving industry dynamics,” he said in an official statement received by InfoSAWIT on Thursday (30/4/2026).
Entering 2026, the company sees the palm oil industry’s outlook as remaining on a positive growth trend. This optimism is supported by projections of rising global demand for vegetable oils, in line with world population growth, expansion of the food industry, and increasing demand for more sustainable alternative energy sources.
With a combination of measured business strategy, strengthened sustainability practices, and continued access to global markets, SSMS believes the palm oil industry will remain one of Indonesia’s strategic sectors supporting national economic growth in the years ahead. (T2)
