Jakarta. PT Chandra Daya Investasi Tbk reported a sharp jump in earnings in 2025, marking a strong debut year as a listed firm as it expanded its integrated infrastructure platform and diversified revenue streams.

The company booked a net profit of $127.8 million, up 281.7% year-on-year, driven by growth across its logistics and energy businesses. EBITDA rose even faster, climbing 288% to $118.8 million, while net revenue increased 44.8% to $148 million.

Director Jonathan Kandinata said 2025 represented a key transformation phase following the company’s successful initial public offering, with operational and financial performance remaining robust.

“The company has demonstrated the resilience of its operating platform and discipline in executing its growth strategy in its first year as a public company,” he said in a statement on Wednesday.

Logistics emerged as the main growth engine, with revenue from the segment surging sevenfold from the previous year. The increase was supported by fleet expansion, strengthened land logistics services, and the development of warehousing facilities.

The energy segment remained the largest contributor, generating $105.8 million in revenue, up 15.2% from a year earlier. Meanwhile, the port and storage segment recorded a 16.5% increase in revenue to $5.6 million.

Gross profit rose to $35.4 million from $10.5 million in 2024, with gross margin improving significantly to 23.9% from 10.2%.

The company also strengthened its capital base and funding access throughout 2025, tapping a mix of equity and debt financing. Funding sources included additional capital support from Chandra Asri Group and EGCO Group, proceeds from its IPO in July 2025, and banking facilities from Bank Danamon, Bank Tabungan Negara, and Bangkok Bank.

As of Dec. 31, 2025, CDI Group reported a liquidity pool of $803.3 million, providing flexibility to fund expansion across its infrastructure pillars.

Infrastructure Expansion Continues

Operationally, the company advanced several strategic initiatives. In land logistics, CDI acquired PT Barito Investa Prima, now renamed PT Chandra Investa Prima, expanded its cold chain capabilities, and added 50 trucks to its fleet.

The company also boosted storage infrastructure, including the construction of three bitumen tanks with a total capacity of 12,000 cubic meters in Cilegon, while progressing ethylene storage tank and pipeline projects.

In maritime logistics, CDI continued building two 9,000 deadweight ton chemical tankers and increased its ownership in a subsidiary to 99.99%. In energy, its solar power capacity rose to 11 megawatt-peak (MWp).

Outlook for 2026

Heading into 2026, CDI Group expects to sustain growth momentum, supported by a more diversified portfolio spanning energy, water, port and storage, and logistics.

“Building on the foundation established in FY2025, we remain focused on disciplined expansion, operational excellence, and delivering sustainable long-term value for shareholders,” Jonathan said.

With stronger financial fundamentals and a growing project pipeline, the company is positioning itself to capture opportunities in Indonesia’s integrated infrastructure sector.
