• BATA will focus on efficiency to return to profit in 2025
Sepatu Bata (BATA) is facing major challenges after the COVID-19 pandemic which disrupted
its business structure. Even though it has closed its only factory in Purwakarta and recorded
significant losses, the company remains optimistic about reaching profits again in 2025. As
of 9M24, BATA still recorded a loss before tax of IDR 131.27B more than double or 151%
compared to an IDR 52.33B loss in 9M23. The increase in losses occurred in line with BATA
sales, which fell 26% yoy to IDR 363.27B. Without the burden of factory costs, BATA is now
focusing more on strengthening the distribution and sales sector through existing stores, as
well as strengthening online sales. This step aims to increase profitability even without an
internal production process. BATA has also moved its distribution center from Purwakarta to
Jakarta and established partnerships with logistics companies to manage product
distribution to stores. Despite facing huge losses, the company continues to maintain its
presence in the Indonesian market, relying on a leaner and more adaptive business model.
