Jakarta. Adaro Andalan Indonesia (AADI) recently unveiled its plan to distribute dividends next year.

AADI Director Lie Luckman said that the company sought to maintain operational excellence to boost financial performance. Despite keeping the option open, AADI said that the dividend plans were still not finalized for 2026 amidst fluctuating coal prices. Lie said that the thermal coal market still faced price pressure amidst ample supply, due to increased output by key importers and a decline in seasonal demand.

Even so, coal is expected to play a key role in the global energy mix as the long-term energy demand increases. As of Q3 2025, AADI's coal sales reached 52.69 million tons, with a stripping ratio of 4.2 times. The company aims to sell between 65 and 67 million tons and record a stripping ratio guidance of around 4.3 times.

AADI's biggest customers are based in Indonesia, followed by Malaysia, India, and China. They are mainly coal-fired power plants and other end-users.

 AADI registered a revenue of $3.6 billion through the third quarter of 2025, down 11% from the same period a year earlier, which the company attributed to lower coal prices. Net profit fell 44% year-on-year to $655 million.

“The company continues to strengthen good corporate governance, financial discipline, productivity improvements and cost controls amid market volatility,” Lie said.
