- Consumer health decreased -23.7% QoQ to IDR 820.59 billion in 3Q2020 due to higher consumer health product demand earlier in the covid-19 outbreak in 2Q2020. Distribution and logistics also decreased by -10.7% QoQ to IDR 1.74 trillion in 3Q2020.
- Nutrition and Pharmaceutical sales still maintained a positive QoQ growth in 3Q2020. Nutrition recorded sales of IDR 1.72 trillion or growth of +6.8% QoQ and Pharmaceutical sales recoded +3.3% QoQ growth to IDR 1.2 trillion in 3Q2020.

Margin Improved
- Despite the 3Q2020 sales decrease, KLBF still maintained their margin due to price increases on selected products.
- Profit before tax grew +4.4% YoY to IDR 2.68 trillion, mostly due to lower operating expenses and forex gains. The margin slightly improved from 15.3% to 15.7% in 9M2020.
- The net income margin also increased slightly to 11.9% and net income grew by a single digit +5.8% YoY to IDR 2.02 trillion.
- We are expecting KLBF can at least maintain their margin in 2020F and the bottom line will reach IDR 2.69 trillion or growth of +8% YoY.
