PRESIDENT DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Overview
The Group experienced lower revenues within its heavy equipment
and mining, and agribusiness activities, while the revenue
contribution from Astra's Toyota sales operations was also reduced
following the introduction of a two-tiered distribution model at
the beginning of the year.
The Group's net income for the period fell, despite higher
automotive profits that benefited from new model launches, as weak
coal prices adversely affected its heavy equipment and mining
contracting operations, and a significant increase in loan-loss
provisions at Permata Bank led to a lower contribution from
financial services.
Performance
The Group's consolidated net revenue for the nine months ended
30th September 2016 was down 4% at Rp132.3 trillion, while net
income was 6% lower at Rp11.3 trillion.
The net asset value per share of Rp2,611 at 30th September 2016
was 4% higher than at the end of 2015.
Net cash, excluding the Group's financial services subsidiaries,
was Rp5.5 trillion at 30th September 2016, compared to net cash of
Rp1.0 trillion at the end of 2015. The Group's financial services
subsidiaries had net debt of Rp41.9 trillion, compared to Rp44.6
trillion at the end of 2015.
Business Activities
Net income attributable to Astra International's shareholders by
business segment for the period was as follows:

Automotive
Net income from the Group's automotive businesses increased by
12% to Rp6.0 trillion for the nine months largely due to new model
introductions, which also had a positive effect on margins.
The wholesale market for cars increased by 2% to 783,000 units.
Astra's car sales were 10% higher at 422,000 units, resulting in an
increase in market share from 50% to 54%. The Group launched ten
new models and seven revamped models during the period.
The wholesale market for motorcycles decreased by 10% to 4.4
million units. Astra Honda Motor's domestic sales were 3% lower at
3.2 million units. Its market share, however, increased from 68% to
73%, supported by the launch of six new models and eight revamped
models during the period.
Net income at Astra Otoparts, the Group's component business,
increased 59% to Rp284 billion with higher revenue from its OEM,
after market and export segments.
Financial Services
Net income from the Group's financial services businesses
declined 31% to Rp2.1 trillion. Higher earnings at Federal
International Finance and Toyota Astra Financial Services were more
than offset by a decline in the contribution from the Group's other
financial services businesses, mainly Permata Bank which recorded a
net loss following a significant increase in loan-loss
provisions.
The consumer finance businesses saw an 18% increase in the
aggregate amount financed, which rose to Rp53.7 trillion, including
balances financed through joint bank financing without recourse.
The car-focused Astra Sedaya Finance reported net income 10% lower
at Rp653 billion due to lower revenue mainly caused by a reduction
in used car financing, whereas Toyota Astra Financial Services
recorded net income 11% higher at Rp251 billion. Motorcycle-focused
Federal International Finance's net income was up 21% at Rp1.3
trillion, benefiting from an improved market share and loan product
diversification.
The aggregate amount financed through the Group's heavy
equipment-focused finance operations increased by 4% to Rp3.3
trillion. Surya Artha Nusantara Finance, which specialises in small
and medium heavy equipment financing, reported net income 43% lower
at Rp60 billion.
Astra's 44.6%-held joint venture, Permata Bank, reported a net
loss of Rp1.2 trillion during the first nine months compared with
net income of Rp938 billion in the same period last year. The
decline was due to a significant increase in loan-loss provisions
as non-performing loans rose to 4.9% from 2.7% at the end of 2015.
In order to strengthen its capital base, the bank completed a
rights issue in June which raised Rp5.5 trillion.
Net Income at Asuransi Astra Buana, the Group's general
insurance company, was slightly lower at Rp697 billion, primarily
due to reduced underwriting income.
During the first nine months, the Group's life insurance joint
venture with Aviva plc, Astra Aviva Life, acquired more than 97,000
individual life customers and more than 121,000 participants for
its corporate employee benefits programmes, compared with 28,500
and 186,000, respectively, in the whole of 2015.
Heavy Equipment and Mining
The Group's net income from its heavy equipment and mining
businesses decreased by 43% to Rp1.9 trillion.
United Tractors, which is 59.5%-owned, reported net income 44%
lower at Rp3.1 trillion, due to lower heavy equipment and mining
contracting revenue, caused largely by low coal prices. There was
also a negative impact of the stronger rupiah on translation of its
US dollar monetary assets, whereas the previous year saw a positive
impact on translation. In its construction machinery business,
Komatsu heavy equipment sales fell by 12% to 1,588 units, while
parts and service revenues also declined. The mining contracting
operations of Pamapersada Nusantara recorded a 3% reduction in coal
production to 79 million tonnes and 12% lower overburden removal at
524 million bank cubic metres. United Tractors' mining subsidiaries
reported 46% higher coal sales at 6 million tonnes.
General contractor Acset Indonusa, a 50.1% subsidiary of United
Tractors, reported net income of Rp40 billion in the first nine
months, 210% higher than the same period in 2015. Acset secured new
contracts worth Rp2.5 trillion during the period, compared with
Rp3.1 trillion in the whole of 2015. To support its business
growth, Acset completed a rights issue in June raising Rp600
billion.
Agribusiness
Net income from the Group's agribusiness division increased
significantly to Rp913 billion from Rp116 billion.
Astra Agro Lestari, which is 79.7%-owned, reported net income of
Rp1.1 trillion, up from Rp145 billion, due to the benefit of the
stronger rupiah on the translation of its US dollar monetary
liabilities. Excluding the foreign exchange translation gain, the
results were flat, with higher crude palm oil selling prices
achieved offsetting the impact of a lower sales volume. Crude palm
oil sales were 12% lower at 730,000 tonnes, while average crude
palm oil prices were 5% higher at Rp7,588/kg compared with the
prior year. Olein sales were 23% lower at 231,000 tonnes. To
strengthen its balance sheet, Astra Agro Lestari completed a Rp4.0
trillion rights issue in June.
Infrastructure and Logistics
Net income from the Group's infrastructure and logistics
businesses increased by 148% to Rp213 billion, mainly due to higher
earnings from its toll roads, used vehicles and logistics
businesses.
The 72.5km Tangerang-Merak toll road, operated by 79.3%-owned
Marga Mandalasakti, achieved a 3% increase in traffic volumes to 35
million vehicles. Construction continues at the wholly-owned 40.5km
Jombang-Mojokerto toll road, where 14.7km is already operational.
22.8km of the 72.6km Semarang-Solo toll road, in which the Group
has a 25% interest is now operational. Taken together with its 40%
interest in the 11.2km Kunciran-Serpong toll road and 25% interest
in the 30.0km Serpong-Balaraja toll road, both of which are
greenfield, the Group has an interest in 226.8km of toll roads.
PAM Lyonnaise Jaya, which operates the western Jakarta water
utility system, experienced a 3% improvement in sales volume to 120
million cubic metres.
Serasi Autoraya's net income increased by 43% to Rp68 billion.
Higher net margins in used vehicle sales and logistics businesses
outweighed the effect of a 6% decline in contracted vehicles in its
car leasing and rental business.
Information Technology
Net income from the Group's information technology division
decreased by 15% to Rp105 billion.
Astra Graphia, which is 76.9%-owned, reported a 15% decline in
net income to Rp137 billion, despite an increase in revenue mainly
due to lower net margins.
Property
Net income from the Group's new property division was Rp84
billion, significantly higher than the Rp5 billion achieved in the
same period in 2015.
Construction continues to progress at the 92%-sold Anandamaya
Residences, the Group's 60%-owned luxury residential development
project located in Jakarta's Central Business District which,
together with the Group's adjacent grade A office tower, Menara
Astra, are on schedule for completion in 2018.
Prospects
The Group's full-year result is expected to reflect continued
good performances from its automotive businesses together with some
improvement in agribusiness and a modest recovery in the heavy
equipment and mining operations, although concerns remain over the
level of loan-loss provisions at Permata Bank.
