Financial Services

Net income from the Group's financial services division increased by 26% to Rp1.9 trillion in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the first quarter of 2022, due to higher contributions from consumer and heavy equipment finance .

-- The Group's consumer finance businesses saw a 24% increase in new amounts financed to Rp30.6 trillion. The net income contribution from the car-focused finance companies increased by 45% to Rp557 billion, due to larger loan portfolios and lower loan loss provisions.

Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy

Net income from the Group's heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy division was 27% higher at Rp3.3 trillion, mainly due to higher contributions from heavy equipment sales, mining contracting and coal mining, all of which benefitted from favourable coal prices.

-- Komatsu heavy equipment sales increased by 6% to 1,791 units and revenues from its parts and service businesses were also higher.

-- General contractor Acset Indonusa, 82.2%-owned by United Tractors, reported a higher net loss of Rp30 billion, compared with a net loss of Rp25 billion in the first quarter of last year, mainly due to higher financing cost.

Agribusiness

Net income from the Group's agribusiness division decreased by 54% to Rp179 billion, largely due to lower crude palm oil selling prices and sales volumes.

   --      The net income of 79.7%-owned Astra Agro Lestari decreased by 54% to Rp225 billion. 
   --       Crude palm oil prices were 19% lower at Rp12,032/kg.

-- Serasi Autoraya's net income increased by 6 % to Rp38 billion, largely due to a 3% increase in vehicles under contract to 25,400 units, despite a lower contribution from used car earnings.

Information Technology

The Group's information technology division, represented by 76.9%-owned Astra Graphia, reported a 58% increase in net income to Rp19 billion, primarily due to higher revenue and improved operating margin.

Property

Net income from the Group's property division saw a 15% decrease in net income to Rp45 billion, primarily due to lower handover of units in the Asya and Anandamaya Residences residential projects, which was partly offset by a higher occupancy rate at Menara Astra.

Recent Corporate Actions

In April, Astra formed a joint venture with Equinix, Inc ., one of the world's largest digital infrastructure companies, with 25% and 75% ownership, respectively. The joint venture will develop data centres in Indonesia.

Prospects

The Group's results were satisfactory in the first quarter of 2023, supported by improved performances by most businesses. Although the Group's performance for the rest of the year is likely to be affected by the global economic environment and softening commodity prices, the Group is cautiously optimistic about Indonesia's economic resilience and is well-positioned to benefit from its continued economic recovery.
