It reached its goal of positive profits on this basis for 2024 and reported the revenues of the fourth quarter that exceeded estimates.

Expectations highlight Goto’s efforts to reflect years of losses through sharp measures, including thousands of functional cuts and a significant reduction in marketing spending. After years of rapid growth, the company turned its focus on the final result after it lost its 75 % shares since its initial year launch in Jakarta in 2022. But the seizure of Singapore proves a difficult competitor, making prices low and margins in both companies while spending in the Southeast Asia market of 675 million people.

Goto said that the fourth -average quarter rose Ebitda to 399 billion rupees from 89 billion rupees a year ago on the basis of models. The net revenue, which prevents incentives to drivers, merchants and promotions of users, jumped by 90 % to 4.2 trillion rupees based on supportive models, exceeding the estimate of the Rubia analyst 4.03 trillion.

Goto also concluded deals to improve their profit. In 2023, Goto agreed to give up controlling its arm in the tokopedia to Tiktok from Bytedance Ltd. In a move that will increase the regional market, GRAB is now weighing a Goto’s acquisition of more than $ 7 billion.
