The AGMS approved a number of key agenda items in support of the Company’s continued business growth. 

The following resolutions were approved by shareholders at the AGMS:

Performance and Business Fundamentals

Amid a dynamic economic environment, intense industry competition, and cost pressures throughout 2025, the Company delivered solid performance by focusing on strengthening its business fundamentals, improving operational efficiency, and pursuing measured expansion. The Company recorded revenue growth of 44% year-on-year (YoY) and net profit growth of 55% YoY, driven by strategic expansion that brought the total number of active stores of Fore Coffee Indonesia to 316 by end of 2025 — an increase of 37% YoY. EBITDA grew 58% YoY as profitability improved on the back of greater economies of scale.

The recently published Sustainability Report and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure also highlights the Company’s tangible social impact. As of 31 December 2025, FORE’s total workforce exceeded 4,300 employees. As a labour-intensive business, FORE noted that 97% of its employees are under 30 years of age, 84% are graduates of senior high schools (SMA) and vocational high schools (SMK), and 45% are women. FORE provides a credible and inclusive formal career pathway for young talent through an intensive training programme for every barista and baker candidate. As a further expression of its commitment to human-resource development, the internal barista competition ‘Fore Grind Master’ was held for the third consecutive season in late 2025.

Vico Lomar as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) PT Fore Kopi Indonesia Tbk., said, “We extend our deepest appreciation to all shareholders for the trust and support extended at today’s AGMS. The ratification of the financial statements and approval of all agenda items affirm that the strategic direction we are pursuing carries the full mandate of our shareholders. We remain committed to placing operational excellence and consistent quality at the forefront of our strategy to sustain our competitiveness and market relevance.” 

Willson Cuaca as Chairman, also added, “As we mark one year since FORE’s listing on the stock exchange, we remain committed to staying adaptive in the face of global geopolitical dynamics while preserving our local relevance. Guided by this principle, we consistently execute our long-term vision to deliver optimal value for shareholders. We are focused on three key ‘C’ pillars: Culture — to strengthen the Company’s foundation; Capability — to equip ourselves for future challenges; and Capacity — to deliver meaningful benefits for shareholders, our team, and the broader community.”

Business Outlook

At the Public Expose, the Company reaffirmed its sustainable business growth strategy, anchored on three key pillars: measured outlet expansion, product innovation, and business diversification. Business growth will be accompanied by the development of internal capabilities and an enhanced customer experience. ESG initiatives relating to the environment and community development will continue to be scaled in line with the Company’s business growth.

The Company will continue to monitor industry dynamics closely to ensure that all initiatives undertaken remain relevant and sustainable.

Jakarta, April 20, 2026 – PT Fore Kopi Indonesia Tbk (FORE), a leading F&B group managing the Fore Coffee and Fore Donut brands, delivered another stellar quarter, recording a 60.5% YoY increase in Net Profit to IDR 9.4 billion in 1Q26, up from IDR 5.9 billion in 1Q25. EBITDA grew 66.7% YoY to IDR 81.1 billion from IDR 60.0 billion in the prior-year period. These results were underpinned by a 52.4% YoY jump in Revenue to IDR 444 billion, compared to IDR 292 billion in 1Q25, and were accompanied by meaningful margin expansion, with EBITDA margin widening to 18.3% from 16.7% and Net Profit margin growing on a YoY basis.

These results are particularly notable given the dual headwinds of the Ramadan low season and an increasingly uncertain global geopolitical environment. The Company’s performance is a testament to the resilience of its business model, the strength of its brand equity, and the execution excellence of its team. Fore Coffee continued to expand its customer base and cement its position as the preferred destination for premium-quality coffee at an accessible price point. Profitability improvements were further supported by higher economies of scale.

Fore Coffee Indonesia continued its strategic store rollout, adding 20+ new outlets during 1Q26. Notably, over 40% of these new openings were located in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, reflecting both the growing demand for premium coffee experiences in these markets and Management’s commitment to deploying IPO proceeds in accordance with its strategy. As of the end of 1Q26, Fore Coffee Indonesia’s network had grown 35% YoY, reaching 338 active stores compared to 251 in 1Q25.

Fore Donut: Accelerating Footprint Growth

Following the successful launch of its first two outlets in 4Q25, Fore Donut opened five additional locations during 1Q26. In 2026, the brand is focused on accelerating its footprint expansion to meet growing consumer demand for its distinctively handcrafted products, made with quality local ingredients. Building on its near-term plan to open at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Fore Donut will also soon make its debut in Bandung and Surabaya, extending the brand’s reach to several of Indonesia’s key markets.

Management Commentary

Vico Lomar, President Director, stated:

“Our 1Q26 results reflect the consistency of our approach: we hold firm to operational excellence, we never compromise on product quality, and we are deliberate in how we allocate capital. Every new store we open is the result of careful site selection and disciplined use of IPO proceeds, with a clear focus on generating sustainable returns for our shareholders. Despite a challenging macro environment this quarter, our team executed with precision, and the numbers speak for themselves. We remain confident in the trajectory of the business and in our ability to continue delivering value as we scale.”

Willson Cuaca, Chairman, added:

“This quarter, FORE demonstrated extraordinary resilience. Not only was the quarter shortened by an extended holiday period, but the evolving global geopolitical situation and ongoing conflict made the operating environment highly unpredictable. Yet FORE’s achievement of 60.5% growth compared to the same quarter of the prior year demonstrates that Fore Coffee is the de-facto hang-out place for Indonesians.”
