Grab-GoTo merger talks face Indonesian regulatory hurdles: sources
[JAKARTA/SINGAPORE] Singapore-based Grab's plan to acquire Indonesia's GoTo to create a dominant South-east Asian ride hailing and food delivery company has run into regulatory hurdles, three sources said, casting a cloud over a potential deal. Reuters reported in May Nasdaq-listed Grab was looking to strike a deal to buy smaller rival GoTo in the second quarter and had hired advisers to work on the proposed acquisition. A deal could value GoTo at around US$7 billion. The two companies now need more time to agree on a deal after the Indonesian government proposed some conditions for the plan to go through, said the three sources, who have knowledge of the deal discussions. The Indonesian government is examining how the potential merger would impact job welfare and market competition in South-east Asia's biggest and most populated economy, said two of the sources. In May, hundreds of ride-hailing drivers and riders joined protests in several cities across Indonesia over low wages and to oppose a Grab-GoTo merger, fearing the creation of a monopoly that would lead to job cuts and raise prices for consumers. The government also wants the merged entity to guarantee more benefits, such as better fees and bonuses to riders and drivers, said one of the sources, who did not wish to be identified as the deal talks are confidential.

Sign Up Sign Up Grab said last week it stood by its previous statement that it was not involved in any discussions for a potential transaction with GoTo and has not entered into any definitive agreements. Separately, Grab also raised US$1.5 billion in a convertible notes offer, citing acquisitions among the capital's intended uses. GoTo, which is trading at a valuation of US$4.4 billion, referred Reuters to its previous regulatory disclosures that there has been no agreement with any party about a potential transaction. Indonesia's transport ministry declined to comment. Optimising operations GoTo is 73.90 per cent-owned by foreign investors, including SoftBank Group and Taobao China Holding, a unit of China's Alibaba Group, with the rest owned by Indonesian investors, according to its 2024 annual report. SoftBank's SVF GT Subco (Singapore) and Taobao are GoTo's top two shareholders, holding 7.65 per cent and 7.43 per cent stakes, respectively, the report showed. When asked to comment on a potential deal involving GoTo and Grab, Sufmi Dasco Ahmad, the deputy speaker of the Indonesian parliament, told Reuters the government wants GoTo to be majority-owned by Indonesians. Dasco, who is also a senior member of Indonesia President Prabowo Subianto's ruling party, did not detail how GoTo can be majority-owned by Indonesians. He also did not comment on any conditions the government has set for the potential merger. Deputy Indonesian manpower minister Immanuel Ebenezer, whose agency oversees employment, said he has no information on any conditions set for a Grab-GoTo merger. A merger would enable the two companies, which, according to LSEG data, have been posting annual net losses since their IPOs, to cut costs by optimising operations. Grab, with a current market value of about US$19 billion, is currently worth about half the US$40 billion when it merged with a blank-cheque company to list on the Nasdaq in December 2021. REUTERS

South-east Asia's budget airlines bet on travel demand, despite competition woes
[SEOUL] South-east Asia's biggest budget airlines are pursuing a bruising capacity expansion race despite rising cost pressures that are squeezing profitability and led Qantas Airways to shut down Singapore-based offshoot Jetstar Asia. Low-cost carriers have proliferated in Asia in the past two decades as disposable incomes rise, supported by robust travel demand from Chinese tourists. Demand for air travel in Asia is expected to grow faster than in other regions in the next few decades, and carriers such as Vietnam's VietJet Aviation and Malaysia-headquartered AirAsia are to buy more planes to add to their already large order books as they seek to gain market share. But margins are thinner than in other regions. The International Air Transport Association (Iata), an airline industry body, this year expects Asia-Pacific airlines to make a net profit margin of 1.9 per cent, compared with a global average of 3.7 per cent. Airlines across Asia have largely restored capacity since the pandemic, which has intensified competition, especially for price-sensitive budget travellers, and pulled airfares down from recent high levels. International airfares in Asia dropped 12 per cent in 2024 from 2023, ForwardKeys data shows. AirAsia, the region's largest budget carrier, reported a 9 per cent decline in average airfares in the first quarter as it added capacity and passed savings from lower fuel prices onto its customers. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 8.30 am Asean Business Business insights centering on South-east Asia's fast-growing economies. Sign Up Sign Up Adding to challenges for airlines, costs such as labour and airport charges are also rising, while a shortage of new planes is driving up leasing and maintenance fees. This shifting landscape prompted Australia's Qantas to announce last week that its loss-making low-cost intra-Asia subsidiary Jetstar Asia would shut down by the end of July after two decades of operations. Jetstar Asia said it had seen 'really high cost increases' at its Singapore base, including double-digit rises in fuel, airport fees, ground handling and security charges. 'It is a very thin buffer, and with margins this low, any cost increase can impact an airline's viability,' said Iata Asia-Pacific vice-president Sheldon Hee, adding that operating costs were escalating in the region. Aviation data firm OAG in a February white paper, said that Asia-Pacific was the world's most competitive aviation market, with airfares driven down by rapid capacity expansion 'perhaps to a point where profits are compromised'. 'Balancing supply to demand and costs to revenue have never been more critical,' the report said of the region's airlines. 'Go big or go home' South-east Asia has an unusually high concentration of international budget flights. Around two-thirds of international seats within South-east Asia so far this year were on budget carriers, compared to about one-third of international seats globally, Capa Centre for Aviation data shows. Qantas took the option to move Jetstar Asia's aircraft to more cost-efficient operations in Australia and New Zealand rather than continue to lose money, analysts say. Budget operators in South-east Asia were struggling for profits amid fierce competition even before the pandemic and now there is the added factor of higher costs, said Asia-based independent aviation analyst Brendan Sobie. Low-cost carriers offer bargain fares by driving operating costs as low as possible. Large fleets of one aircraft type drive efficiencies of scale. Jetstar Asia was much smaller than local rivals, with only 13 aircraft. As at Mar 31, Singapore Airlines' budget offshoot Scoot had 53 planes, AirAsia had 225 and VietJet had 117, including its Thai arm. Low-cost Philippine carrier Cebu Pacific had 99. All four are adding more planes to their fleets this year and further into the future. VietJet on Tuesday (Jun 17) signed a provisional deal to buy up to another 150 single-aisle Airbus planes at the Paris Airshow, in a move it said was just the beginning as the airline pursues ambitious growth. The deal comes weeks after it ordered 20 A330neo wide-body planes, alongside an outstanding order for 200 Boeing 737 MAX jets. AirAsia, which has an existing orderbook of at least 350 planes, is also in talks to buy 50 to 70 long-range single-aisle jetliners, and 100 regional jets that could allow it to expand to more destinations, its CEO Tony Fernandes said on Wednesday. 'At the end of the day, it is go big or go home,' said Subhas Menon, director general of the Association of Asia-Pacific Airlines. REUTERS
