Supported by National Economic Recovery, Saratoga’s NAV Grows Positively in 2021

Jakarta, March 14, 2022 – PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk. (Saratoga, ticker code: SRTG), an active Indonesia-based investment company, has booked the highest Net Asset Value (NAV) in the company’s history, amounting to IDR 56.3 trillion, in large due to increase in the unrealized mark-to-market value of the company’s portfolio. This figure is an increase of 78 percent from the company’s NAV of IDR 31.7 trillion in 2020.

Saratoga President Director Michael William P. Soeryadjaya said that Saratoga’s portfolio companies’ ability to tap into opportunities during the national economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 was key to the stellar performance of the company. Supported by strong fundamentals and a strategic business sector, the share prices for the majority of Saratoga’s portfolio soared last year.

“One of the factors that contributed to the growth of Saratoga’s NAV last year was the surge in share prices of virtually our entire investment portfolio especially PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk. (TBIG), PT Adaro Energy Tbk. (ADRO), PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk. (MDKA), and PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk. (MPMX),” Michael said in an official statement in Jakarta on Monday, March 14, 2022.

Michael explained that the increase in share price was in line with the solid financial performance. This is evident from the contributions of the companies to Saratoga’s dividend income, which reached IDR 1.65 trillion throughout 2021, up 120 percent from 2020’s IDR 750 billion.

“We appreciate the strategic and tactical steps taken by Saratoga portfolio companies, as it has allowed them to optimize the momentum of economic growth, which has continued to gain traction since last year. Moving forward, Saratoga will continue to be actively involved in the process of growing and strengthening the business fundamentals of each of the companies in our investment,” Michael explained.

Investment in Start-ups

In accordance with Saratoga’s commitment to driving national economic growth, the company also continues to seek and optimize opportunities through new investments. In 2021, the company undertook a number of monumental steps by investing in three start-ups, namely Xurya Daya Indonesia (Xurya), SIRCLO, and Fuse. Saratoga also invested in the digital and advertising company, City Vision. Furthermore, by the end of December 2021, Saratoga had increased its stakes in PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk. (MPMX) and PT Aneka Gas Industri Tbk. (AGII) compared to 2020 – from 52.21 percent to 56.69 percent and from 8.39 percent to 9.31 percent, respectively.

Saratoga Investment Director Devin Wirawan explained that new investments, be that in a start-up or digital media, are further reflections of the company’s strategy in which it is actively tapping into the opportunities within the ever-growing digital and infrastructure sectors. Saratoga is also proactively assisting the new investment in developing their future strategies and executing their business plan in a measured and optimal manner.

“Throughout 2021, Saratoga’s total investments reached approximately IDR 1.32 trillion. We are confident that this investment strategy will be able to keep the company’s performance on a strong trajectory and sustain our business longevity,” he explained.

Devin also said that amid a highly dynamic economy in 2021, Saratoga did exceptionally well in maintaining its operating efficiency and strong balance sheet capability. “The ratio of our operating costs to NAV was 0.3 percent, while the loan ratio was around 5.8 percent. We will continue to ensure that there is further room for operating cost and borrowing cost efficiencies,” Devin added.

Saratoga Investment Portfolio Enjoys Encouraging Growth, Books IDR 45.8 Trillion in Net Asset Value in Q3 2021

Jakarta, October 29, 2021 — PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk. (ticker code: SRTG) has successfully booked Net Asset Value (NAV) of IDR 45.8 trillion at the end of the third quarter of 2021. The NAV increased by 44.45 percent from IDR 31.7 trillion at the end of 2020. As of September 2021, Saratoga also posted a net profit of IDR 14.1 trillion – attributable to owners of the parent company. This is more than ten times compared to the performance of the first nine months of 2020, amounting to IDR 1.2 trillion.

Saratoga President Director Michael Soeryadjaya said that the promising economic recovery in 2021 had strengthened the company’s investment portfolio performance. This is consistent

with the gradual decline in the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

“The sustained momentum of Saratoga’s investment portfolio business fundamentals is the key to the Company’s positive performance in comparison to the same period in 2020. We are optimistic that the ongoing economic recovery and the highly encouraging success rate of the COVID-19 vaccination program will continue to strengthen our business portfolio going forward,” said Michael in an official statement in Jakarta (29/10).

Saratoga’s NAV growth this year is mainly attributable to the increase in share prices of PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk. (ticker code: TBIG), PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk. (ticker code: MDKA), PT Adaro Energy Tbk. (ticker code: ADRO), and PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk. (ticker code: MPMX).

The strength of Saratoga’s investment portfolio fundamentals also had an impact on the Company’s dividend income. As of the end of the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a dividend increase of 35.01 percent to IDR 871 billion, with the largest dividends contributed by ADRO, TBIG and MPMX.

Michael added that to optimize business opportunities, Saratoga had invested in new sectors,

particularly technology. The investments include SIRCLO, the leading e-commerce solution company in Indonesia and Fuse insurtech platform (insurance distribution channel technology), which aims to reach a wider insurance market in Indonesia.

“Our investment portfolio in the technology sector is a strategic initiative for Saratoga to optimize opportunities in the industry, which we project will continue to gain traction in the future. We will be actively involved in the development process and business strategy of the new investee companies,” Michael explained.

Supporting Investment Company Business Development

Saratoga Director of Investment Devin Wirawan added that amid today’s highly dynamic business challenges, Saratoga remained disciplined and consistently maintained operational efficiency. This includes maintaining the debt ratio of Loan to Value at a healthy level of 6.3 percent and operating costs at 0.4 percent of NAV.

“Our commitment is to ensure that Saratoga is able to execute each of its investment strategies efficiently. Saratoga consistently encourages our investee companies to make the most of every

business opportunity, allowing us to play an active role in Indonesia’s economic recovery,” added Devin.

A number of Saratoga investee companies continue to accelerate their business by carrying out expansions. Primaya Hospital – under PT Famon Awal Bros Sedaya – has opened five new hospitals since the beginning of the year. Primaya Hospital currently operates as many as 14 hospital units.

MDKA consistently shows promising progress in follow-up drilling at the Tujuh Bukit Copper Mine Project. The copper mine drilling was carried out in the southern and western ends of the Upper High Grade Zone.

In the automotive business, MPMX introduced OtoDeals or www.otodeals.com, an innovative used car sales platform, in September. The platform is designed to assist buyers in finding the right, high-quality, and guaranteed used cars according to their needs.

To tap into opportunities in the industrial gas sector, Saratoga increased its holding in PT Aneka Gas Industri Tbk. (ticker code: AGII) from 7.84 percent to 8.84 percent. This year, AGII has taken a series of strategic steps. For example, the company completed the acquisition of two business units from PT Samator worth IDR 600 billion. AGII is also set to supply industrial gas for the smelter owned by PT Timah Tbk. (ticker code: TINS) in the Province of Bangka Belitung Islands for 12 years.

Saratoga NAV Reached IDR 46.5 Trillion in Semester I-2021

Jakarta, July 29, 2021  PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk (stock code: SRTG) reached a net asset value (NAV) of IDR 46.5 trillion in semester I-2021. This value increased from NAV at the end of 2020 of IDR 31.7 trillion. The company also recorded a net profit – attributed to owners of the parent entity – of IDR 15.3 trillion, compared to a net loss of IDR 2.1 trillion in semester I-2020.

Saratoga President Director Michael Soeryadjaya said that the success of our portfolio companies in maintaining a resilient performance in 2021 has increased the value of Saratoga’s portfolio. The positive performance is also accompanied by their consistent dividend distributions, which further strengthened Saratoga’s business fundamentals.

“The rising share price performance of our portfolio companies has supported Saratoga’s NAV growth during semester I-2021. This is proof that Saratoga’s portfolio companies are able to stay resilient during this pandemic,” said Michael, in an official statement in Jakarta, on Thursday (29/7).

Saratoga’s NAV growth in semester I-2021 was due to appreciation in share price of several portfolio companies; mainly contributed by PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk (stock code: TBIG), PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk (stock code: MDKA), PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk (stock code: MPMX), and PT Provident Agro Tbk (stock code: PALM).

Saratoga also posted dividend income of IDR 866 billion in semester I-2021, an increase of 35.3 percent, from IDR 640 billion during the same period in the previous year. This dividend income is mainly contributed by PT Adaro Energy Tbk. (ADRO), TBIG, and MPMX.

Michael added that Saratoga will continue to implement a diversification strategy in deploying investments and disciplined financial management to maintain long-term business sustainability. Debt and cost ratios will continue to be managed and maintained at an efficient level. Currently, annualized operating costs to NAV is at 0.4 percent with loan to value at 5.7 percent.

Saratoga Investment Director Devin Wirawan explained that in semester I-2021, Saratoga continued to encourage portfolio companies to expand their business into new regions. For example, Primaya Hospital – under PT Famon Awal Bros Sedaya – has opened three new hospitals since the start of the year. The three hospitals were Primaya Hospital Bhakti Wara in Pangkal Pinang-Bangka Belitung, Primaya Hospital Sukabumi in West Java, and Primaya Hospital Pasar Kemis in Tangerang-Banten.

“The launch of these three new hospitals adds to Primaya Hospital’s existing operational assets, bringing them to 12 hospitals by end of semester I-2021. This expansion is also part of Saratoga’s initiative in supporting the government’s efforts to provide the best healthcare service amid the ongoing pandemic,” he said.

Devin also explained that one of Saratoga’s strategic portfolio companies, MDKA, has further strengthened its long-term business fundamentals. He revealed that the latest drilling test from the Tujuh Bukit Copper Project in Banyuwangi resulted in a significant intercept of copper and gold.

MDKA has also completed a feasibility study for the Acid, Iron, Metal (AIM) Project, which is projected to have a net present value (NPV) of IDR 5.8 trillion. The AIM Project is operated by Merdeka Tsingshan Indonesia (80 percent MDKA, 20 percent Tsingshan) and located in the Indonesia Morowali Industrial Park in Morowali Regency, Central Sulawesi. Construction has begun in quarter II-2021 and production is targeted to start in quarter II-2022.

Amid rising demand in the logistics sector, Devin said that Saratoga’s portfolio company, MGM Bosco Logistics, is currently constructing the second phase of its cold-storage facility in Bekasi. The new facility is expected to start operating in quarter IV-2021.

“Saratoga will continue to assist all of our portfolio companies in exploring new opportunities and growing their business value. We are also open to new investment opportunities, including in the technology sector, which is now growing rapidly in Indonesia,” Devin stated.

Saratoga General Meeting of Shareholders Approves IDR 298 Billion Dividend Distribution and Stock Split as Investment Portfolio Enjoys Positive Growth

Jakarta, 28 April 2021 – The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGMS) of PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk. (Saratoga, ticker code: SRTG) today approved the distribution of dividends of up to IDR 298.43 billion or IDR 110 per share. Additionally, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) which was held following the AGMS also approved Saratoga’s management’s suggestion to conduct a stock split with a ratio of 1:5.

Saratoga President Director Michael W.P. Soeryadjaya explained that Saratoga’s consistency in distributing dividends to shareholders is part of the company’s commitment to continue providing optimal added value. This illustrates that Saratoga’s investment strategy is on the right track.

“We would like to express our gratitude for the support of our shareholders who have made it possible for the company to execute every investment plan. We are certain that this dividend and stock split decision will make Saratoga more attractive as an investment partner in the Indonesian capital market,” Michael explained at the conclusion of the AGMS and EGMS which were held online in Jakarta, Wednesday (28/4).

Michael commented that the COVID-19 which started in early 2020 has created a lot of uncertainty and drove down economic activity both globally and nationally. However, in such a highly dynamic and challenging situation, Saratoga managed to sustain positive growth momentum in its investment portfolio. This is reflected in the company’s net asset value (NAV), which went up by 39% to IDR 31.70 trillion by end of 2020.

“During the pandemic, the focus of our strategy is to maintain operational resilience, both at the parent company and all of our investment portfolio companies. By continuing to prioritize prudence in managing all risks and consistently implementing a diversification strategy, we are grateful that the target for operational resilience could be well-achieved,” he said.

In 2020, Saratoga’s investment value in PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk (MDKA) increased 120% to IDR 10.18 trillion and the investment value in PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk (TBIG) increased 56% to IDR 12.64 trillion. Saratoga also managed to book dividend income in 2020 of IDR 750 billion, most of which was contributed by PT Adaro Energy Tbk (ADRO) with IDR 215 billion, PT Tower Bersama Infrastruktur Tbk (TBIG) IDR 214 billion, PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk (MPMX) with IDR 210 billion and PT Provident Agro Tbk (PALM) with IDR 105 billion.

Saratoga Investment Director Devin Wirawan said that to support the government in carrying out economic recovery efforts from to the COVID-19 pandemic, Saratoga will continue to optimize investment across business lines which represent the vital sectors for Indonesians. The company will also encourage members of its investment portfolio to venture out on a business expansion so that they will be able to reach more markets and provide solutions for the community.

Devin pointed out the expansion of PT Famon Awal Bros Sedaya (Primaya Hospital) which continues to provide the best medical services in various regions in Indonesia. In 1H21, Primaya Hospital is set to launch 4 new hospitals to complement the 9 hospitals that have been operating through the end of 2020. To support the acceleration of digitalization in Indonesia, PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk (TBIG) also continues to strengthen its telecommunication infrastructure, including through an acquisition of 3,000 towers from PT Inti Bangun Sejahtera Tbk. (IBST)

To support the expansion of its investment portfolio, Devin continued, Saratoga is also consistent in undertaking corporate actions and shoring up investment. For example, our investment in Mulia Bosco Logistik where the company’s share ownership increased from 7.5% to 23.7%. Saratoga has also increased the company’s share ownership in MPMX by 4.34% this month.

“Apart from the stock split, today’s EGMS also approved the company’s share buyback plan of up to 25 million shares or 0.92% of the paid-up shares. These corporate actions are Saratoga’s commitment to optimize every opportunity amid dynamic business challenges,” Devin said.

Saratoga Remains Robust by Booking Stellar Performance in 2020

Jakarta, March 9, 2021 – PT Saratoga Investama Sedaya Tbk. (ticker code: SRTG) posted a solid performance in 2020. The company’s net profit increased by 20 percent to IDR 8.82 trillion. This was supported by an increase in the value of the investment portfolio, evidenced from the net asset value of Saratoga surging 39 percent to IDR 31.70 trillion at the end of 2020.

Saratoga President Director Michael Soeryadjaya remarked that the solid performance of Saratoga’s investee companies during the 2020 pandemic was the key to the company’s achievement. This was reflected in the increase in the value of Saratoga’s investments in a number of portfolio companies as well as consistent dividend payments.

“We are grateful that amid a difficult situation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Saratoga has succeeded in sustaining its growth momentum and achieved a robust performance. As an investment company with long-standing experience in Indonesia, Saratoga prioritizes prudence by managing all risks involved and consistently implementing a diversification strategy. This approach has kept us strong amid uncertainty and allowed us to be responsive in addressing all the dynamic changes,” Michael said in Jakarta, Tuesday (9/3).

Throughout 2020, Saratoga directed its focus in developing corporate strategies to maintain operational resilience during the pandemic, both for the parent company and its investee companies. By the end of 2020, this target of operational resilience has proved to be achievable.

In 2020, Saratoga’s investment value in PT Merdeka Copper Gold Tbk. (ticker code: MDKA) rose 120 percent to IDR 10.18 trillion and the investment value in PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk. (ticker code: TBIG) increased by 56 percent to IDR 12.64 trillion. Saratoga also managed to book a total dividend income of IDR 750 billion in 2020, which was mainly contributed by PT Adaro Energy Tbk. (ticker code: ADRO) at IDR 215 billion, PT Tower Bersama Infrastruktur Tbk. (ticker code: TBIG) at IDR 214 billion, PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk. (ticker code: MPMX) at IDR 210 billion and PT Provident Agro Tbk. (ticker code: PALM) at IDR 105 billion.

Michael added that Saratoga will continue to seek new investment opportunities and support the government’s efforts to accelerate economic recovery from the impact of COVID-19 pandemic. “We hope that the current vaccination program can swiftly break the COVID-19 chain of transmission and put this pandemic to a stop. Saratoga will continue to actively implement its strategy to ensure that the growth of the company will be even more optimal after the pandemic ends,” he added.

Saratoga Investment Director Devin Wirawan explained that a number of Saratoga’s investee companies found their business growth momentum during the pandemic. He described that MDKA’s performance continued to strengthen thanks to the steep increase in gold and copper price in 2020. Amid economic uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, gold is a “safe haven” commodity which will remain as the most sought-after investment instrument in the world. This opportunity will further strengthen MDKA’s fundamentals going forward.

Devin continued, society’s increasingly rapid adoption of the online digital ecosystems has provided greater opportunities for PT Tower Bersama Infrastruktur Tbk. as a provider of telecommunication infrastructure services. Meanwhile, in the consumer sector, PT Deltomed, which produces herbal medicines, has succeeded in optimizing the strong public demand for health products during this pandemic. PT Famon Awal Bros Sedaya, our hospital group, also continued to support the government’s efforts in controlling the pandemic by providing special rooms for COVID-19 patients as well as rapid test drive-thru services.

“As an active investment company, Saratoga continues to assist investee companies to grow and optimize every available opportunity. In a situation that remains highly dynamic and challenging, Saratoga’s cost ratio to net asset value, which is still low at around 1 percent, will help the company’s performance to remain solid,” Devin said.
