Astra posts lower FY2025 profit on softer coal, car markets; trims dividend, completes share buy-backs

SGX Filings02-27

PT Astra International Tbk (“Astra”) reported on Feb, 26 2026 that full-year 2025 net income fell 3% to about 3.0 billion Singapore dollars, as a 2% decline in consolidated revenue to roughly 29.9 billion Singapore dollars reflected weaker coal prices and softer demand in Indonesia’s new-car market.

The earnings slide was driven by a 24% drop in the Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction & Energy division and muted car sales, partly offset by stronger contributions from gold mining, financial services and the motorcycle and components businesses. Earnings per share slipped 3% to Rp810, while net asset value per share rose 8% to Rp5,692. Group net cash (excluding financial services) stood at around 0.7 billion Singapore dollars at year-end, down from about 0.8 billion a year earlier.

By business line, net income was broadly stable in Automotive & Mobility at Rp11.4 trillion, rose 9% in Financial Services to Rp9.0 trillion, but fell to Rp9.1 trillion in Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction & Energy. Agribusiness, Infrastructure, Information Technology and Property all recorded double-digit percentage growth, with Property income surging 224% on new industrial warehouse assets and negative goodwill from the Mega Manunggal Property acquisition.

Astra will propose a final dividend of Rp292 per share, taking the full-year payout to Rp390 per share and implying a 48% payout ratio. The group also completed a second share buy-back tranche of about 63 million Singapore dollars on Feb, 25 2026, following the conclusion of a 185 million Singapore-dollar programme in Jan 2026.

Management said a comprehensive strategic review of the business portfolio is progressing, with findings due in the latter part of the first half of 2026. Despite ongoing challenges in certain segments, the company expects an improvement in overall consumer sentiment and will prioritise operational efficiency and disciplined capital allocation.
