GOTO (Buy, TP: Rp100) - FY25 Adj. EBITDA Beat at Rp2.0tr (106-112% of Company Guidance; 121% of BRIDS Forecast) FY25 results highlight continued profitability momentum, supported by GTF scaling as a new growth engine, while ODS recorded modest growth but improving margins.
4Q25/FY25 Results · FY25 Adj. EBITDA came in at Rp2.0tr, exceeding company guidance of Rp1.8-1.9tr and reaching 121% of BRIDS forecast (Rp1.65tr). · GTF loan book reached Rp8.7tr (+15% qoq), above our est. of Rp8.1tr, supported by continued growth in GoPay MTUs to 26.2mn (+30% yoy). · ODS GTV grew modestly by +3.8% yoy in 4Q25; however, the affluent-focused strategy helped lift profitability, with Adj. EBITDA margin +30bps qoq to 2.3%. · EBIT declined to Rp-156bn, mainly due to one-off opex incl. severance/management transition and contingency costs related to cloud migration. · Net loss of Rp410bn in 4Q25 was largely driven by non-cash impairment charges of Rp886bn recorded during the quarter.
Outlook / Guidance · FY26 Adj. EBITDA guided at Rp3.2-3.4tr (+60% yoy). · ODS Adj. EBITDA guided at Rp1.7-1.8tr (+22-29% yoy), with expected high-single-digit GTV growth. · GTF Adj. EBITDA guided at Rp1.4-1.5tr (+182-202% yoy), supported by steady loan book expansion.

GOTO continues to maintain close communication with regulators regarding this matter. · GOTO has introduced several driver welfare initiatives, including Hari Raya bonuses for ~400k drivers and BPJS social security coverage. Associated costs have already been incorporated into FY26 EBITDA guidance. · Regarding recent media reports on driver shortages, mgmt. views as seasonal—driven by Ramadan and weather conditions—rather than structural. The company does not expect this to materially disrupt the platform ecosystem. (Kafi Ananta & Erindra Krisnawan – BRIDS) |
