Thanks to the solid fundamentals of its investee companies, in 2019, Saratoga’s net profit from investment and other equity securities was IDR 6.22 trillion. While dividend and interest income amounted to IDR 2.01 trillion.
Saratoga’s Finance Director, Lany D. Wong explained that in 2019, Saratoga posted an all-time record high dividend income of IDR 1.99 trillion. Dividend income increased by 121.5 percent from 2018 of IDR 900 billion, largely attributable to PT Mitra Pinasthika Mustika Tbk (ticker code: MPMX), PT Adaro Energy Tbk. (ticker code: ADRO), PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk (ticker code: TBIG) and other investee companies.
