Sales dropped again by another -19% in the third quarter to Rp .9 trillion, the fifth negative growth quarter in a row. Average quarterly growth is now at -9%. We expect growth to turn back to positive with a quarterly average +11% in this next 12 months & sales to rise to Rp 2.8 trillion by the third quarter, 2021.
Cashflow
Operating cashflow was still negative but positive investment cashflow made total cashflow positive again +Rp 63 billion in the third quarter. Average quarterly cashflow is still negative at -Rp 138 billion. We assume low investment spending Rp 30 billion a quarter which with higher sales gives a positive average quarterly free cashflow of +Rp 34 billion in this next 12 months.
