GOTO to Scrap Non-Core Businesses in Search for Profit

PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk (GOTO) will let go of some non-core businesses as it aims to become profitable by the end of 2023.
According to GOTO CEO Patrick Walujo, the company’s Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) margin is expected to reach an encouraging level by the end of 2023.
"GOTO will continue to operate by managing operating expenses," he said on Aug 16.
Patrick explained that implementing such a strategy was necessary due to service alterations to serve a wider market.
In search of profit, GOTO is trying to cut costs, divest non-core assets, focus on profitable assets, and slash subsidized delivery costs within its ecosystem by up to 15 percent.
