Cinema XXI Posts IDR 2.8T Revenue, IDR 324B Profit in H1 2025

PT Nusantara Sejahtera Raya Tbk (Cinema XXI, stock code: CNMA), Indonesia’s largest cinema chain, has announced a total revenue of IDR 2.8 trillion for the first semester of 2025. The company also reported a net profit of IDR 324 billion and an EBITDA of IDR 842.4 billion, demonstrating stable performance in a dynamic economic climate.

Cinema XXI President Director Suryo Suherman attributed the positive results to a solid business foundation and a consistent, measured strategy. “The company’s performance stability is a result of the effective implementation of targeted and adaptive strategies to industry dynamics, as well as the consistent and sustainable strengthening of the operational network,” said Suryo.

The performance in the first half of the year was significantly driven by a surge in viewership, with total admissions reaching 42.5 million. This increase was bolstered by the Eid holiday period and strong audience enthusiasm for both national and international blockbuster films.

A key driver of this growth was the remarkable success of Indonesian cinema. Domestic films accounted for over 65% of total admissions at Cinema XXI during the first semester of 2025. According to data from filmindonesia.or.id, nine national movies surpassed one million viewers each across all cinema networks in Indonesia during this period. The top three performers were

Jumbo (10,197,790 viewers), Pabrik Gula (4,726,760 viewers), and Petaka Gunung Gede (3,242,843 viewers).

Key Financial and Operational Highlights for H1 2025:

• Total Revenue: IDR 2.8 trillion.
• Net Profit: IDR 324 billion.
• EBITDA: IDR 842.4 billion.
• Total Admissions: 42.5 million.
• Operational Network: 259 cinemas with 1,360 screens across 66 cities and regencies in Indonesia.

Cinema ticket sales remain the primary revenue source, contributing 62.4% of the total, while the food and beverage (F&B) segment contributed 33.6%. The company noted a healthy increase in F&B sales, with the average spend per head (SPH) rising to approximately IDR 25,000 from around IDR 23,000 in the first semester of 2024. “This increase in SPH is an important indicator that audience interest in our F&B products continues to grow healthily,” Suryo explained.

In a move reflecting its strong financial position, the company paid a final dividend of IDR 4 per share for the 2024 financial year, totaling IDR 333 billion. This followed an interim dividend of IDR 5 per share paid in November 2024, bringing the total dividend for the 2024 financial year to IDR 9 per share, which corresponds to a 103% dividend payout ratio.

“Dividend distribution is a form of the company’s commitment to provide added value to shareholders while maintaining a healthy financial position and sustainable company growth,” Suryo concluded.
