Geo Energy Resources, an Indonesian coal producer, announced on Thursday that its newly operational Marga Bara Jaya integrated infrastructure unit could generate approximately $350 million in annual earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) over time. This development represents a significant new revenue stream for the company beyond its traditional coal mining operations, according to a bourse filing.
Key Details
The Marga Bara Jaya project is expected to diversify Geo Energy's earnings and enhance its financial stability. The company did not provide specific timelines for when the projected earnings would materialize. Shares of Geo Energy closed flat at S$0.555 on Thursday.
