Automotive
Net income from the Group's automotive division increased by 29% to Rp4.3
trillion, reflecting higher sales volumes. Key points are as follows:
· The wholesale market for cars increased by 21% to 475,000 units in the first
half of 2022 (source: Gaikindo). Astra's car sales were 23% higher at 259,000
units, and its market share increased from 53% to 54%. 18 new models and 10
revamped models were launched during the period.
· The wholesale market for motorcycles decreased by 8% to 2.2 million units in
the first half of 2022 (source: Ministry of Industry of the Republic of
Indonesia). Astra Honda Motor's sales decreased by 13% to 1.6 million units
due to production constraints caused by semiconductor supply issues which
impacted the business more than competitors. As a result, its market share
also decreased, from 77% to 73%. 1 new model and 7 revamped models were
launched during the period.
· The Group's 80%-owned components business, Astra Otoparts, reported a net
income of Rp432 billion, a 62% increase compared to the equivalent period last
year, mainly due to higher revenues from the original equipment manufacturer
and replacement market segments.
Financial Services
Net income from the Group's financial services division increased by 36% to
Rp2.9 trillion in the first half of this year due to higher contributions from
the consumer finance businesses. Key points are as follows:
· The Group's consumer finance businesses saw an 18% increase in amounts
financed to Rp47.2 trillion. The net income contribution from the Group's
car-focused finance companies increased by 47% to Rp827 billion on larger loan
portfolios. The net income contribution from the Group's motorcycle-focused
finance company, Federal International Finance, increased by 60% to Rp1.5
trillion mainly due to lower loan loss provisions.
· The Group's heavy equipment-focused finance companies saw a 112% increase in
amounts financed to Rp5.7 trillion. The net income contribution from these
businesses increased by 54% to Rp43 billion, mainly due to larger loan
portfolios.
· General insurance company Asuransi Astra Buana reported a 6% increase in net
income to Rp633 billion, due to higher underwriting income and investment
income. The Group's life insurance company, Astra Life, recorded 3% higher
gross written premiums to Rp2.9 trillion.
Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy
Net income from the Group's heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy
division increased by 131% to Rp6.2 trillion, mainly due to higher
contributions from heavy equipment sales, mining contracting and coal mining,
all of which benefitted from higher coal prices. However, there were some
adverse impacts on the coal operating volumes arising from Indonesia's
temporary export ban on coal in January. Key points are as follows:
· 59.5%-owned United Tractors reported a 129% increase in net income to Rp10.4
trillion.
· Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased by 111% to 2,900 units and saw higher
revenue from its parts and service businesses.
· Mining contractor Pamapersada Nusantara recorded a 7% increase in overburden
removal volume at 437 million bank cubic metres, while there was a 13% decline
in coal production to 50.4 million tonnes.
· United Tractors' coal mining subsidiaries recorded 8% lower coal sales at 5.8
million tonnes, including 1.3 million tonnes of metallurgical coal. However,
this volume impact was more than offset by higher coal selling prices.
· Agincourt Resources, 95%-owned by United Tractors, reported 18% lower gold
sales at 144,000 oz.
· General contractor Acset Indonusa, 82.2%-owned by United Tractors, reported a
lower net loss of Rp114 billion, compared with a net loss of Rp153 billion in
the first half of 2021. The net loss was mainly due to the slowdown of several
ongoing projects and reduced construction project opportunities during the
pandemic.
Agribusiness
Net income from the Group's agribusiness division increased by 25% to Rp645
billion, mainly due to improved crude palm oil prices. Key points are as
follows:
· The net income of 79.7%-owned Astra Agro Lestari increased by 25% to Rp809
billion.
· Crude palm oil prices rose by 46% to Rp15,023/kg.
· Crude palm oil and derivative product sales fell by 32% to 635,000 tonnes,
impacted by Indonesia's temporary export ban on palm oil in the second
quarter. The uncertain situation in agribusiness is expected for the remainder
of the year.
Infrastructure and Logistics
The Group's infrastructure and logistics division reported an increase in net
income from Rp91 billion in the first half of the previous year to Rp353
billion, mainly due to improved performance in its toll road businesses. Key
points are as follows:
· Astra has interests in 396km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java
network and the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.
· The Group's toll road concessions saw 34% higher toll revenue, including
contribution from the recently acquired Pandaan Malang toll road.
· Serasi Autoraya's net income decreased by 2% to Rp79 billion, mainly due to
lower used car sales and a reduction in operating margin, despite a 9%
increase in vehicles under contract to 25,100 units.
Information Technology
The Group's information technology division, represented by 76.9% owned Astra
Graphia, reported higher net income of Rp24 billion compared with Rp14 billion
in the same period last year, primarily due to improved operating margin,
despite lower revenue from its office business services.
Property
The Group's property division reported a 12% decrease in net income to Rp73
billion, compared with the first half of the previous year, primarily due to
lower earnings from Anandamaya Residences from the last few remaining units.
Recent Corporate Actions
· During the first half, the Group purchased a 5.43% stake in PT Medikaloka
Hermina Tbk, one of the largest hospital groups in Indonesia.
· In March and April, respectively, the Group also increased its investment in
Sayurbox, an e-commerce grocery platform, bringing the Group's total
investment to US$13.6 million, and Mapan, a digital community-based social
commerce platform, bringing the Group's total investment to US$5.4 million.
· In June, the Group led the funding round of Paxel, a technology-based
logistics business, of US$14.5 million.
· In July, the Group, signed a Shares Subscription Agreement to subscribe for a
49.56% stake in PT Bank Jasa Jakarta for Rp3.9 trillion. Completion of this
transaction is subject to fulfilment of all conditions precedent in the
agreement, including approval of the Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (the Indonesian
Financial Services Authority).
· In July, United Tractors announced a share buyback programme of up to Rp5
trillion.
Prospects
In the first half of 2022, the Group recorded good performances from almost
all of its business divisions, which was supported by the improvement of
economic conditions and significantly higher commodity prices. The Group's
results for the rest of the year are expected to remain strong, although the
Group anticipates that it may still face an unstable and uncertain trading
environment.
