Jakarta, 1 April 2022. MPC (PT Multipolar Tbk, “Company”, stock code MLPL) today submitted its full-year 2021 financial results, reporting IDR 10.3 trillion in revenues and IDR 201 billion in net profits.

MPC’s technology and digital businesses, among others Multipolar Technology (“MLPT”, stock code MLPT) with its IT systems integration and managed services businesses and Venturra with its regional multisectoral investments in early-stage ventures, contribute significantly to the profit. MLPT reports almost IDR 3 trillion in revenues, an 11.6% increase from 2020, and IDR 259 billion in net profits, a 50.2% jump from its 2020 net profits.

MDS also reports zero loan balance at the end of 2021, from IDR 1 trillion outstanding loan balance as at the end of 2020. Matahari Putra Prima (“MPPA”, stock code MPPA) successfully completed its rights issue in December 2021 and raised IDR 720 billion¾substantially strengthening its balance sheet and providing ample capital for its growth plan. MPPA as well as MDS are continuing to expand their omnichannel retail operations through their own digital platforms and participation in hundreds of virtual stores at marketplaces such as GoMart, Tokopedia, Grabmart, Shopee, Blibli, and others.

In the fintech front, Bank Nobu (“Nobu”, stock code NOBU) is accelerating its evolution into digital banking, having successfully launched NobuNEO app in 2021 and continuing to add features and augment its banking capabilities to enable full digital solutions to its customers.
