Intiland Books Significant Profit in 2013
Jakarta, (28/03) – The national property developer, PT Intiland Development Tbk (Intiland), recorded a significant performance increase in 2013.

Archied Noto Pradono, Intiland’s director of Capital Management and Investment, said the company succeeded in maintaining the growth of its operational performance despite the macroeconomic condition and the general state of property industry having been under pressure since mid-2013. The new policy on LTV (loan to value) from Bank Indonesia, hike in interest rate, and devaluation of IDR against USD are some factors which negatively affected the industry.

In 2013, Intiland booked marketing sales of IDR 2.53 trillion, a 53.5-percent jump from that in 2012 (IDR 1.65 trillion). The value is 15 percent higher than the target set by the company, which was IDR 2.2 trillion.

“The contribution from recurring income may not be significant, but we have a target to continue improving the contribution from this sector in the coming years, especially with more office buildings we are developing and the expansion of our hotel chain, Intiwhiz,” explained Archied.
Seen from product segmentation, the biggest contribution to the company’s coffer still comes from the sales of township & estate with IDR 610.81 billion or 40.45 percent of the total revenues. Mixed-use & high rise segment is the second biggest contributor with IDR 547.97 billion or 36.29 percent. The third biggest contributor was industrial estate which contributed IDR 283.16 billion or 18.75 percent.
The management of golf course and sports facilities contributed IDR 44.55 billion or 2.95 percent, while hospitality segment, from the management of Intiwhiz Hotel chain, contributed IDR 24.52 billion or 1.62 percent.

As much as 79 percent of the fund will be allocated for the development of mixed-use and high rise projects. The funds are to go to township and estate (14 percent), industrial estate (3 percent), and hospitality (4 percent). The biggest allocation is set for the development of South Quarter, 1Park Avenue, Praxis and Aeropolis projects, as well as Graha Natura residential area.
