BUSINESS AND TRADE - JAKARTA. Indonesia's biggest tech company PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk posted a 22.43 trillion rupiah ($1.54 billion) net loss last year, according to the firm's 2021 annual report filed to the stock exchange on Monday.
Losses widened from 16.74 trillion rupiah in 2020, the report showed.
GoTo debuted on April 11 after raising $1.1 billion in an initial public offering by selling around 4% of its shares at 338 rupiah per piece.
Meanwhile the company's net loss in the first quarter of 2022 went up to 6.6 trillion rupiah from 1.96 trillion rupiah in the same period a year before, Andre Soelistyo, GoTo CEO said in a press conference.
"The increase (in losses)...was because our Q1 2021 report doesn't incorporate Tokopedia, whose merger with Gojek was only completed in May, 2021," he said.
