KLBF’s operating expenses increased by 11.1% YoY to IDR6.97 trillion in 9M25. This increase was mainly due to an increase in selling expenses of 13.7% YoY to IDR5.6 trillion and research and development expenses of 10.2% YoY in 9M25. Despite the increase in operating expenses, KLBF still booked a growth in operating profit of 10% YoY to IDR3.85 trillion in 9M25.
