Automotive
Net income from the Group's automotive division decreased by 7% to Rp8.5 trillion, mainly due to the impact of lower car sales in a softer national market, which offset a higher contribution from the motorcycle business.
● The wholesale car market in the first nine months of 2024 was 16% lower at 633,000 units (source: Gaikindo). Astra's car sales were 15% lower at 358,000 units, which resulted in its market share increasing from 56% to 57%. Twelve new models and eleven revamped models were launched during the period.
● The wholesale market for motorcycles grew by 3% to 4.9 million units in the first nine months of 2024 (source: Ministry of Industry). Astra Honda Motor's sales amounted to 3.8 million units, 1% higher than the same period last year, with a decline in market share from 79% to 77%. Four new models and nine revamped models were launched during the period.
● The Group's 80%-owned components business, Astra Otoparts, reported a 16% increase in net income to Rp1.5 trillion, mainly due to higher earnings from exports.
● The Group's used car business, OLXmobbi, recorded sales of almost 20,000 units, triple the same period last year.
Financial Services
Net income from the Group's financial services division increased by 6% to Rp6.2 trillion in the first nine months of 2024, mainly due to higher contributions from consumer finance on larger loan portfolios.
● The Group's consumer finance businesses saw a 9% increase in new amounts financed to Rp96.8 trillion. The net income contribution from the Group's car-focused finance companies increased by 3% to Rp1.7 trillion. The net income contribution from the Group's motorcycle-focused finance company, Federal International Finance, increased by 9% to Rp3.3 trillion.
● The Group's heavy equipment-focused finance companies recorded an 18% increase in new amounts financed to Rp9.8 trillion. The net income contribution from these businesses increased by 28% to Rp171 billion.
● The Group's general insurance company, Asuransi Astra Buana reported a 9% increase in net income to Rp1.1 trillion, benefiting from higher underwriting and investment income. The Group's life insurance company, Astra Life, recorded a 2% increase in gross written premiums to Rp4.5 trillion.
Heavy Equipment, Mining, Construction and Energy
Net income from the Group's heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy division increased by 1% to Rp9.6 trillion, with improved performances in mining contracting services and gold mining offsetting declines in heavy equipment sales and coal mining.
● 59.5%-owned United Tractors reported a 2% increase in net income to Rp15.6 trillion.
● Komatsu heavy equipment sales decreased by 24% to 3,300 units and revenue from the parts and service businesses was also lower.
● Pamapersada Nusantara, which provides mining contracting services to mine concession owners, recorded 921 million bcm of overburden removal, a 9% increase compared with the same period last year, and 111 million tonnes of coal production for its clients, a 17% increase from the same period last year.
● United Tractors' coal mining subsidiaries recorded a 19% increase in coal sales to 10.2 million tonnes, including 2.4 million tonnes of metallurgical coal.
● Agincourt Resources, 95%-owned by United Tractors, reported 12% higher gold sales at 165,000 oz and benefited from higher gold selling prices.
● United Tractors' nickel businesses comprise majority-owned Stargate Pasific Resources ("SPR") and 19.99%-owned Nickel Industries Limited ("NIC"). United Tractors recognised equity income from NIC for the 9-month period in arrears based on NIC's results up to the first half of 2024, owing to the timing of NIC's results announcements. SPR reported 1,369,000 wet metric tonnes of nickel ore sales in the first nine months of 2024, while NIC's RKEF operations reported nickel metal sales of 34,400 tonnes in the last quarter of 2023 and 65,000 tonnes in the first half of 2024.
● General contractor Acset Indonusa, 87.7%-owned by United Tractors, reported a net loss of Rp286 billion, compared with a net loss of Rp151 billion in the first nine months of 2023.
Agribusiness
Net income from the Group's agribusiness division in the first nine months of 2024 was stable at Rp638 billion, despite lower sales volumes of crude palm oil ("CPO") and its derivative products, supported by higher CPO selling prices.
● The net income of 79.7%-owned Astra Agro Lestari was stable at Rp801 billion.
● CPO and derivative product sales decreased by 6% to 1.2 million tonnes.
● CPO prices were 12% higher at Rp12,492/kg.

● The Group's toll road concessions saw 5% higher daily toll revenue during the period from its 396km of operational toll roads along the Trans-Java network and in the Jakarta Outer Ring Road.
● Serasi Autoraya reported 5% more vehicles under contract at 26,800 units and a higher contribution from its logistics services business.
Information Technology
The Group's information technology division, represented by 76.9%-owned Astra Graphia, reported a 21% increase in net income to Rp116 billion, primarily due to improved operating margin.
Property
The Group's property division reported a 42% increase in net income to Rp162 billion, due to improved occupancy at Menara Astra and higher earnings from the residential business.
Recent Corporate Actions
In October, the Group completed the acquisition of 95.8% of Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital for Rp643 billion. Heartology is one of Indonesia's largest private cardiac specialist hospitals, located in Jakarta. This investment is part of Astra's expansion in the healthcare sector. Combined with previous investments in Halodoc and Hermina, the Group's total investment in the healthcare sector is now Rp4.2 trillion. The Group remains committed to growing its healthcare portfolio and creating synergies with Astra's extensive ecosystem.
Prospects
The Group's performance in the first nine months of 2024 demonstrated the resilience of our well-diversified portfolio. While the car market remains subdued, we expect the Group to maintain its strong performance for the remainder of the year. We remain confident in Indonesia's economic potential and are committed to pursuing new opportunities that enable us to further strengthen our portfolio in line with the nation's long-term growth.
