TBS Gross Profit Doubles in The First Half of 2026 as Waste Management and EV
Businesses Overtake Coal
● Consolidated gross profit more than doubled to US$28.2 million from US$13.9 million in the
same period last year
● Waste and electric vehicle segments now account for 66.5% of consolidated revenue,
against 31.4% from coal
● Waste Management contributed 92% of consolidated EBITDA; Electric Vehicle Ecosystem
revenue nearly tripled year-on-year
● Operating cash flow turned positive at US$14.6 million from negative US$31.6 million a year
earlier
● Net loss narrowed by more than 83% year-on-year (YoY) as losses from subsidiary
divestment did not recur
JAKARTA, August 28, 2026 – PT TBS Energi Utama ("TBS" or the "Company", IDX: TOBA) today
reported its financial results for the first half (H1) of 2026, showing that the portfolio transformation
to sustainable infrastructure business is now reflected in the Company's revenue mix, its margins,
and its cash generation.
The clearest evidence sits in the structure of the Company's revenue. Non-coal businesses, led by
waste management and followed by the electric vehicle ecosystem, generated 66.5% of
consolidated revenue during the period, more than twice the 31.4% contributed by the coal
businesses. A year earlier the portfolio was still coal-majority. The shift was already visible in the first
quarter and widened again in the second, indicating a structural change rather than a seasonal one.
Juli Oktarina, Director and Chief Financial Officer, TBS, said: "Last year coal was still the main
contributor to our revenue, today our non-coal businesses are twice its size and generating our cash.
That is the transition we committed to and our second quarter demonstrates that we are on track to
transform our business to sustainable infrastructure."
On the balance sheet, the Company entered the second half of 2026 with cash of US$94.7 million as
at 30 June 2026. Short-term bank loans declined 30.9% YoY and total current liabilities fell 13.5%
YoY. The refinancing of the 2026 Rupiah bonds through PUB II and PUB III shifted US$27.5 million
out of near-term maturities, extending the Company's debt maturity profile. Leverage improved over
the period, with net debt to EBITDA of 5.4x compared with 5.6x in the full year of 2025. Together,
these steps strengthen the Company's capacity to fund its transition programme.
Juli added: “We have the liquidity to fund our growth plans and to stay on course for our 2030 carbon
neutrality target. Our new businesses are generating cash, our short-term debt is down significantly,
and our balance sheet gives us room to keep investing. The foundation is in place and we intend to
build on it."

Key Highlights (Comparison between H1-2026 vs. H1-2025)
TBS Group
● Operating cash flow moved from negative US$31.6 million to positive US$14.6 million.
● Consolidated revenue held broadly flat at US$173.0 million even as the Company exited its
coal-fired power plant business entirely and reduced coal trading by roughly two thirds over
the year.
● Consolidated gross profit more than doubled to US$28.2 million from US$13.9 million, driven
by US$13.5 million reduction in cost of revenues, lifting gross margin from 8.1% to 16.3% YoY.
● Consolidated EBITDA rose 23.7% YoY while total assets declined 3.6% YoY showing that the
Company is producing higher earnings from a smaller asset base.
● Our loss narrowed significantly as the 2025 divestment loss did not repeat. While we remain
in a loss position, the loss is driven by the necessary measures for our business transition:
a. Non-cash loss was driven by depreciation and amortization related to Cora
Environment’s acquisition
b. Cash-based loss was driven by financing cost of M&A activities for our business
transition to sustainable infrastructure and building our EV business
Waste Management Segment
● Waste management remains the Company's principal earnings engine, contributing 61.2% of
consolidated revenue and 92% of consolidated EBITDA, with segment revenue of US$105.9
million. The business continues to deliver the stable, recurring revenue aligned with the
Company’s investment thesis for entering it.
● Segment revenue grew 77.8% YoY to US$105.9 million from US$59.6 million.

Renewable Energy Segment
● In renewable energy, the Company's holdings are structured through associates and are
therefore recognised in share of profit from associates rather than in consolidated revenue.

Company’s Profit and Loss.
● The 46MWp Floating Solar Power Plant remains on track for operational completion in the
fourth quarter of 2026, adding a further non-coal earnings stream.
Coal segment

plan and budget.

transition.

● Gross profit rose to US$9.3 million from US$1.3 million, lifting segment margin to 26.6%

last year.
