investment in GoTo, was Rp18.2 trillion, 106% higher than the first half of
2021. Excluding this unrealised gain, the Group's net income increased by 64%
to Rp14.5 trillion, reflecting stronger performances from almost all of its

*Profit attributable to owners of the parent.

 

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.
