COMPANY REPORT
Company overview
PT. Telekomunikasi Indonesia (Telkom) is the largest and most integrated
telecommunication company (telco) in Indonesia. Telkom’s source of value creation
is wholly derived from its domestic telecommunication businesses including fixed
line and fixed wireless telephone connections, mobile cellular communications,
network and interconnection services, and data communication services. Telkom still
enjoys monopoly in the fixed line telephone segment; notwithstanding, we see an
inevitable declining demand for fixed-based voice services due to continuing fixedto-mobile substitution effect. Telkom is currently a leading player in the fixed-

broadband sector with 78% market share; fixed-broadband market has been
growing significantly with rising middle class population; we see a tremendous

growth opportunity for the upcoming terms. Through its subsidiary, Telkomsel ,
Telkom provides cellular connectivity that covers more than 97% of the Indonesian
population. Telkomsel has the largest subscribers’ base amounted to 44% market
share in 2012; nevertheless, a recently merged XL-Axis (XL:IJ) would definitely
challenge its dominance. As of December 2012, Telkomsel revenues contribution
totalled to 71%.

Valuation Methodology
We used a sum of parts (SOP) approach to arrive at the final equity value. Fixed and
cellular business segments were valued separately using Discounted Cash Flow
(DCF) model. Net debt/cash was derived by deducting excess cash (book value)
from market value (MV) of debt. Obligations to employee and other non-equity items
were obtained from their book value (BV).
We have incorporated various scenarios that could impact our initial cash flow
forecast, and the respective price target. The probability attributed to each scenario
analysis is solely our view on current market situation. Subsequently, we have
reached a price target of 2,547 IDR, implying an upside potential of 20%.

Macroeconomic Outlook
Indonesian economy has been contracting recently; IMF revised GDP growth down
to 5.3% in September 2013 from previously 6.3% in April 2013, but expecting slight
recovery to happen in 2014.

We are informed that the revision was triggered by recently high inflation that forced
Bank Indonesia (BI) to continuingly raising interest rate, which in turn had slowed the
overall economy growth due to higher borrowing cost (reduces economic activity)
and higher saving rate (reduces consumption as people tend to save instead).
4
Furthermore, BI rate is expected to be escalating further until the inflation rate ease
back to the target level of 4%-5%, which means growth would continue being
penalized in 2014, at the very least.

Other various macroeconomic and demographic indicators will certainly steer our
cash flow forecast; nevertheless, their relevance may differ per business segment,
as such we will cover them specifically and separately for each business segment.
3
As seen in graph 5, Indonesian inflation rate has been very volatile which was mostly caused by large amount of
government subsidy on basic needs like food, fuel and electricity. Early this year government reduced subsidy on fuel and let
the price of gasoline and diesel inflated by 44% and 22% respectively (to 6,500 IDR and 5,500 IDR per litre); this had directly
and swiftly caused a huge jump in inflation rate, as basic needs such as transportation, for instance, became more expensive
and led to higher end-products or services (due to higher logistic costs). World Bank estimates that raw and core inflation
would rise approximately by 300bps and 100 bps respectively when fuel prices increased by 2,000 IDR.
4
We are also informed that Indonesia’s large current account deficit has caused loss of confidence from foreign investors
who started pulling their money out of the country in anticipation of the approaching FED tapering. Besides to control inflation,
higher interest rate is also perceived as an incentive for foreign funds to remain intact. Additionally, Rupiah would remain
vulnerable as account deficit has showed no meaningful improvement lately, and thus high inflation would likely to persist
longer; we see this as a downside risk to our initial earnings estimates; we discuss this further under Appendix II - Additional
Scenario Analysis.

Voice (RHS) Services
Fixed-line Voice – the inevitable decline
Telkom fixed-line telephone service is no other than the plain old telephone service.
This fixed-line telephone service includes local, direct long-distance (DLD) and
international call service. Telkom still enjoys monopoly in this segment with 99%
market share; because of an inevitable decline of the sector growth and
subsequently low potential of value creation, fixed-line telephone segment seems to
attract no new entrants. For the last 5 years, this sector has suffered from fixed-tomobile substitution effect. The overall decreased in total minutes production implies
that minutes production per lines in service (LIS)

has decreased by roughly 1,700
minutes in 2008 to only 755 minutes in 2012. As seen in table 4, fixed-line voice

in fact a result of lower usage per LIS, conversely the implied price per minute has
actually increased from 1,119 IDR in 2008 to 1,297 IDR in 2012. At this rate, fixed

voice service is actually charging much higher than cellular voice service (of only
8
166 IDR per minute), adding another reason why people tend to use their cellphones nowadays.
Despite the substitution effect aforementioned, we believe that low penetration rate
in the fixed-line telephone sector (refer to graph 7) would still provide little room for
growth, and that the essentialness of basic telephony would drive penetration higher
in the future. In fact, we see a slight pickup in LIS in 2011 after the cellular
penetration rate surpassed 100% mark in late 2010, whilst utilization rate has been
rising from 78% to 81% and 82% in 2012 and 2013 respectively (refer to graph 8).

This amount is calculated based on 2012 cellular voice revenues and total cellular minutes production (including free

competition in the mobile market. We discuss further under Cellular Business section.

area , we assume that Telkom would continue adding new lines with intention to
drive penetration in the sub-urban or rural area higher. Nevertheless, we foresee the
additional lines to grow at a slower pace than 3% CAGR verified from 2004-2013,
10
with priority set to utilize lines back to 90% level .
Provided the expected additional installed lines for the upcoming terms, we could
then infer the incremental LIS by estimating utilization rate in the future of which is to
converge towards 90% rate. The following table presents our forecast summary for
the next 5 years;

Our estimation implies a growing subscribers’ base (LIS) at CAGR of 3% , still
lower than 4.5% CAGR yielded during 2010-2013.
In what regards the ARPU, we expect the downtrend would continue in near
12
future as we are still convinced that the fixed-line usage will decline further due to
voice-to-data substitution effect. Over the top VoIP application such as Skype has
become more popular and been used globally, not only for home-personal use, but
also professionally, such as on-line meeting, job interview and university admission

substantial growth potential would surely negatively affect

including
local,
DLD
and
international call services; as such we believe that the fixedline usage would still plummet in the foreseeable future.
As for the longer run, we presume the fixed-mobile/voicedata substitution effect to start lessening, and the respective
usage per LIS to find the equilibrium and stop declining; and
13
Units: trillion IDR and thousand IDR (ARPU) | Source:
Analyst’s estimates
therefore ARPU would rise due to a higher unit price .
9
Yet we could not infer precisely how many cities are currently covered by Telkom and which cities are still to be covered, as
the information in that regards is not disclosed.
10
Telkom has indicated that CAPEX related to fixed-line business would be mostly allocated to the fixed-broadband network
development, thus it would be reasonable to assume slower expansion in the fixed-line telephone.
11
At this rate, we implicitly expect fixed-line telephone penetration rate to reach 33% mark (or equal to current APAC
average) in the next 20 years.
12
We are still convinced that fixed-line usage would still decline in near future due to voice-data substitution (we discuss this
issue in greater detail under Cellular Business section).
13
Bear in mind that ARPU is a function of usage (minutes production/user) and unit prices (price per minute). Though usage
is presumed to be constant over time, a rising unit price would still result in higher ARPU.

Esia is another FWA voice services provider operated by Bakrie Telecom (BTEL)
The government altered the regulation relating to the calculation of right-of-use tariff in December 2010, resulting in a
significantly smaller gap between GSM and CDMA tariff.
16
As of December 2013, average price of voice service charged by FWA provider is 1,666 IDR per minute, which is very
close to GSM-based operators’ average tariff per minute of less than 1,799 IDR. Price already includes interconnection cost.

17
Free minutes derived from promotions surely put pressure on ARPU, as unit price decreases while usage is not necessarily
increased.
15
PAGE 8/36
Graph 15 – Flexi Subscribers and ARPU
Forecast
COMPANY REPORT
According to the CFO, Mr Honesti Basyir, Telkom intends to gradually withdraw
FWA voice services over the next two or three years. We see this as an appropriate
move by the management; as spectrum becomes a scarce national resource, 10
MHz spectrum blocks on 850 MHz
18
frequency used by Flexi can be returned and
19
re-used by Telkomsel to provide a lower-end and cheaper data service .
To conclude, we forecast Flexi’s subscriber to continue declining sharply for the next
2-3 years, afterwards the service is presumed terminated. ARPU is expected to rise
as we assume Flexi would start reducing promotions (free calls), and thus unit price
would eventually converge to market price.

Fixed Broadband – decent growth potential
Telkom provides fixed-line based broadband internet access using ADSL and fiber
optic technology under the brand “Speedy”. Fixed broadband is still perceived as a

Capita PPP constant US$
premium need in Indonesia, and rather explains
low broadband penetration in the country that has
Graph 17 – Fixed Broadband Penetration

lower GDP per capita than most of its Asia Pacific
(APAC) peers. Looking further into the penetration
rate, we are left with more questions; as seen in
graph 16 and 17 consecutively, Vietnam, India,
and Phillipines has higher broadband penetration
rate than Indonesia despite their lower production
per capita. What might be the setback for

Indonesia,
besides
its
rather
challenging
geography condition? Following is our best guess;
Graph 18 – Speedy Market Share Evolution
Units: # households | Source: ITU, Analyst’s
estimates
Indonesian customers have fewer fixed-broadband service choices and incur higher
prices as the fixed-broadband sector is lack of operators and therefore experiences
less efficient competition; in fact, Speedy holds 78% market share in Indonesia (as
per December 2012). Unit price for 1 Megabit per second (Mbps) is comparatively
much higher in Indonesia, yet the average speed of fixed-broadband internet
connection is not truly superior to the available connection speed provided by the
20
mobile broadband services, of which is accessible with a lower cost, see graph 19 .
Thus, it is no surprise that fixed-broadband penetration is rather limited in Indonesia.
Source: ITU, Company Reports
18
CDMA-base operators currently use 850 MHz frequency band to provide voice and data services, whilst GSM-3G use
2,100 MHz frequency.
19
Spectrum license for providing telecommunication services through 850 MHz frequency is priced much cheaper than the
2,100 MHz used for 3G, the associate radio usage charges are also lower, thus allowing Telkomsel to provide cheaper dataservice for the lower-end market. This way Telkomsel would have more flexibility to maintain its premium services and prices
without putting more pressure on its operating margin. If executed rightfully, Telkom would be able to create additional value
in the long run through its more efficient spectrum management.
20
The data presented is the actual speed. In practice, operators claim 7.2 Mbps for their 3G connection download speed.
Moreover, the average mobile broadband cost per Mbps is lower than 5 US$. Notwithstanding, fixed broadband still has an
advantage of higher capacity of usage and a more reliable internet connection. See appendix IV for tariff comparison.

This indicator aims to explain bargaining power of buyer, more number of operators implies that customers have more
choices and that competition is presumably more efficient resulting in generally lower prices. Though may be not entirely true,
but the fact that Speedy holds more than 75% market share, which results in high market concentration, customers are
therefore inferred low bargaining power.

Cost per Mbps measures the median cost charged by the provider for 1 Mbps. Indonesia is among the highest by a far
margin.
23
Household download index measures average download speed per broadband connection. Additional information,
European countries’ average download speed is above 20Mbps.
24
Recently high inflation that is expected to persist until mid-2014 would really penalize customers’ purchasing power; as
such we expect their spending behavior would be shifted towards premier needs, such as food, transportation, etc.; thus
available income for premium needs would be reduced, and premium products or services, including fixed-broadband service
would surely be less attractive.

Telkom had introduced “Speedy Instant” or pre-paid subscription
25
that provides
more flexibility to subscribers, which explains significant ARPU declined in 2012 and
2013, yet the impact on the overall revenue was being offset by the strong growth of
the subscribers’ base, refer to table 7 - Broadband ARPU.
26
Telkom has recently engaged in fiber network roll-out , and we foresee the better
technology
27
would facilitate the demand for larger data capacity and faster
connection; we shall later see a clear distinction between mobile and fixed
broadband in terms of speed and capacity.
We forecast Speedy subscribers’ base to continue growing at CAGR of 30% for the
next 2-3 years, and of 10% thereafter. Our perpetuity growth estimation implies that
fixed broadband subscriptions in Indonesia would reach 50% penetration rate in
approximately 20
28
years from today.
In what concerns ARPU, we expect the declining trend to continue in the future due
to increasingly growing number of pre-paid subscribers
29
and the fact that Telkom is
already charging higher unit price than its APAC peers average, we foresee a
30
gradually declining tariff .

25
Pre-paid subscribers are being charged the same initial amount for equipment (including modem) installation. The monthly
charge will be then accumulated according to their monthly usage.
26
We could not infer how many households were actually under FTTH subscriptions. Telkom only disclosed in its reports that
it had roughly 5 million homepass capacity in 2012 and aimed to reach 15 million by 2015.
27
Telkom is upgrading their old copper network with fiber to the home (FTTH), thus we expect higher speed and capacity to
be delivered in the future.
28
We assume that the average persons of approximately 4 per household will not change in the future, and the population
will continue growing at CAGR of around 1% in the long run-as projected by the IMF.
29
Pre-paid subscribers tend to have control over their own expenditure by simply limiting the usages, hence implying a rather
lower ARPU.
30
It would be reasonable to see lower tariff in the future driven by the regulator (as was seen in cellular market couple years
ago), assuming lower tariff would induce higher broadband penetration.

According to the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (BRTI), it is
common that a single user owns more than one mobile phone and holds 2-3 active
SIM cards with reason to get the best network quality (higher-end user) or cheapest
price (lower-end user) available. We see this as an opportunity for continuing growth
being sustained in near terms. As such, we forecast Indonesian cellular subscribers’
base to continue increasing at CAGR of 4% (lower than 6% yielded in 2012-2013)

Indonesian cellular market is characterised with high churn rate and highly
disproportionate number of prepaid subscribers (refer to graph 30). In fact, we also
see a correlation between low GDP per capita and high number of pre-paid
subscribers. We believe that a cheap prepaid-starter-pack (refer to graph 28)
coupled with limited financial means to commit for a post-paid plan explains why
Indonesian cellular market is flooded by pre-paid subscribers. This also partly
explicates low cellular average revenue per user (ARPU)

We look into Bloomberg (Bloomberg Industry – Telco Asia Pacific) forecast for Asia Pacific mobile sector growth of 7%
CAGR as proxy; since the forecast made by Bloomberg includes China and India – of which their cellular penetration rate is
still below average, it would be reasonable to forecast a slower growth for Indonesia. As for perpetuity, we expect the
subscribers base to increase with population; population is projected to grow at CAGR of 1% by World Bank.s

Bear in mind that pre-paid subscribers have greater control over their own cellular service expenditure by limiting usage.
Generally pre-paid ARPU will be much lower than post-paid ARPU.

Market Share Evolution

In 2001, the government liberalized the cellular market; and since then there have
been three big players namely Telkomsel (TLKM:IJ), Indosat (ISAT:IJ), and XL
Axiata (EXCL:IJ) that control more than 80% market share (as of December 2012,
see graph 30). The other operators are briefly described in the appendix III.

by their stronger presence.
In early 2013, XL proposed an acquisition of Axis, which was recently approved
38
in
the beginning of December 2013 by the Ministry of Communication and Information
(KOMINFO) with a certain term that obliges them to return spectrum blocks of 10
MHz in 2,100 MHz frequency band used for 3G network. Even after returning 10
MHz frequency blocks, XL-Axis now has spectrum capacity as large as Telkomsel;
Source: Analyst’s estimates
34
Note that we only use this additional information to triangulate our ARPU estimation, not to actually forecast the ARPU.
HHI is calculated by summing of the squares of the market shares of all cellular operators. The value ranges from 0 to
10,000. HHI Index of 10,000 indicates market-monopoly while 0 implies a nearly perfect competition. For example, market of
8 participants (as in the case of Indonesia cellular market) with perfectly equal market share would have a HHI index of 1,250.
36
Axis and Hutchison market share were estimated around 5% and 8% in 2012 respectively, which increased to 7% and 12%
in 2013.
37
XL lost 3% of its market share in 2012
38
According to the Indonesian Supervising Committe for Business Competition (KPPU), XL-Axis merger and acquisition
would not harm the market competition, and will not cause monopolistic industry. KPPU estimates an increase of 200 points
in HHI post-merger.

In order to understand the implication of those figures presented above, we run
some spectrum efficiency calculation that reveals their importance, please consult
appendix V. We foresee XL-Axis to become a more formidable player in the future;
by retaining Axis’ spectrums and infrastructures, XL would be able to cut its
43
investment budget and save considerable amount in capital expenditure , and to
focus more on rebranding and gaining more market share. Nevertheless, we expect
the impact on the industry dynamic and especially on Telkomsel to be more
apparent in medium to long term timeframe, considering an integration process
44
that XL-Axis has to endure. Furthermore, XL-Axis merger and acquisition will
promote industry consolidation as also supported by the regulator who thinks that
45
the cellular market is currently too crowded . Should the consolidation happen in
the future, Telkomsel would most likely be forced out of consolidation to avoid high
46
market concentration . We expect Telkomsel’s market share to eventually shrink to
40% over the long run.

Best case Scenario – market share remains intact
Notwithstanding the aforementioned concern, we see a likely scenario that
Telkomsel would be able to maintain its market share through aggressive customer
39
Telkomsel and XL acquired additional 5 MHz in 2,100 MHz band in February 2013. See appendix V for the 2,100 MHz
Band Plan by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.
40
Base tranceiver station (BTS) is a telecommunication equipment that transmits and receives radio telephony signals to and
from other user equipment devices, such as mobile phone.
41
Currently Telkomsel has the most BTS employed and spread throughout the country and claims to cover more than 97% of
the population. In 2013, it has added 11,356 new BTS of which 71% are 3G BTS. We estimate the BTS deployed by
Telkomsel in 2018 will consist of more than 75% 3G/4G BTS, as the company intends to stop deploying 2G-BTS in near
future.
42
XL-Axis is obliged to return 10 MHz spectrum blocks in 2,100 MHz.
43
Looking at our spectrum efficiency calculation, XL-Axis would have enough capacity to accommodate its potentially
growing subscribers’ base without incurring any significant investment for additional BTS and/or spectrum in near future.
44
Integration process would involve network integration, business process re-engineering, streamlining distribution networks,
redefining cost-structures, rebranding, etc.
45
According to the regulator, it will be hard to obtain additional spectrum in the future without consolidation as spectrum is a
scarce national resource. It is expected that Indonesian telecommunication sector will face spectrum crunch in the next 2-3
years where there are insufficient bandwidth to accommodate excessively growing data demand.
46
Regulator uses HHI index-where level of concentration is divided into 4 spectrum; spectrum 1 is associated with HHI Index
that ranges from 0-1800 (low concentration), spectrum 2 with HHI Index ranges from 1801-3000 (moderate concentration);
spectrum 3 with HHI Index ranges from 3001-4000 (high concentration); spectrum 4 with HHI Index above 4000 (monoplistic
industry tendency)- to assess any potential merger and acquisition. We expect that Telkomsel will not be granted any
acquisition proposal as it will cause high industry concentration (referring to HHI Index that might jump to above 4000 level).

Secondly, Indosat recent network roll-out issue has resulted in incremental

Indosat has netted -1.8 trillion IDR lost in 9M-2013 caused by slumping revenues, higher financial cost and excessive forex
lost. This worsening condition would limit its ability to recover its network issue.
48
Although Telkom was required to share its network infrastructure by the regulator (under network sharing regulation
introduced in 2008), we are convinced that smaller operators are rather lacking of scale than lacking of access to
infrastructure. The fact that they already have access to third party infrastructure provider (with similar capacity with Telkom’s
tower subsidiary), we foresee insignificant changes in the industry dynamic for the upcoming terms.

The fact that Telkomsel’s has consistently charged higher price per minute (as seen

of scale it has created through its superior network quality that has persisted over
the previous years. Moving forward, we expect Telkomsel’s unit price to be
maintained above market price, yet we believe that price compression is
unavoidable and the ARPM will continue declining due to excessive promotions
resulted from fierce competition. As for the longer run (perpetuity); considering that

Smartphone + Social Media = the Next Big Thing
It is undeniable that a changing lifestyle within Indonesian society promotes higher
usage of smartphone and other large screen devices, such as iPad, Android Tablet,
etc. Indonesians are more modernized and seek more sophisticated way to
communicate through on-line messaging platform, on-line news portal, on-line social
media and video streaming platforms, etc. This argument is supported by the large

We expect Indonesian broadband users to grow substantially at CAGR 26% for the next 4 years (using indication from
Ericsson for Asia Pacific mobile broadband sector and Emarketer), and 10% over the longer run. Our estimation infers that
penetration rate will be close to 100% in approximately 10 years-time. We assume that multiple subscriptions per user will be
more apparent in mobile broadband sector as people generally own tablet and smartphone at the same time (as they provide
rather different features). Considering that technology in general always grows swiftly and exponentially, our implicit
timeframe should be then reasonable.
54
Global average is at 0.50-1.00 US$ cent (60-120 IDR). Source: international operators websites, analyst’s research
estimates.
55
Please note that this is the offered price on competitors websites, therefore we might overestimate (underestimate) the true
price charged per MB due to less (more) actual usage. As for Telkomsel, Indosat and XL we used the actual revenue per MB
derived from total data revenues divided by total data traffic production.
56
Last October 2013, Telkomsel conducted 4G-LTE network trial, of which the actual (not advertised) 4G internet connection
speed reaches approximately 15 Mbps or about 7-8 times faster than average normal 3G connections.
57
South Korea was the first to commercially deploy 4G technology in 2006, followed by Northern European countries in 2009,
and rest of the world (developed countries) in 2010-2011.
58
There are two important factors in estimating data traffic production per user; first is the device being used, 4G enabled and
3G enabled devices apparently have different output. We assume that Indonesians, being less wealthy on average than its
international peers, would prefer cheaper product (Indonesia has been flooded by smartphone shipped from China targeting
lower-end users) that obviously has technical limitation (most of them are still 2G-3G only devices) when compared with
higher end products such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy (of which are made ready for 4G network), thus limiting their
broadband usage. Second is the 4G-LTE network availability; as aforementioned, Indonesian cellular operators have not yet
conducted 4G-LTE network roll-out, indication is that they might start as soon as next year. Regulator (BRTI) is still arranging
and assessing 4G LTE frequency band. As frequency band is limited, there is speculation that 4G will be operated in 1,800
MHz band, which is currently being used for 2G network, and reaffirming network might take some time, if not years.

Economies of scale are more apparent in what regards net-interconnect margin .
Graph 54 – Net-interconnect Margin
Comparison
Given its largest market share, Telkomsel has been able to yield significantly higher
net-interconnect margin, as seen in graph 54.
In 2006, the Ministry of Communication and Informatics Republic

the tariff in 2008 that reduced off-net charged per minute by 10% to approximately
30 IDR, which implies termination rate of 5 IDR per second that is equivalent to
approximately 0.025 USD/minute. At this rate, interconnection tariff in Indonesia is in

62
cellular market in Indonesia should not be heavily affected by the network effect ;
nevertheless, market share would still be the important factor in gaining netinterconnect margin; as larger market share implies higher interconnection revenues
and lower interconnection expenses. As we expect Telkomsel’s market share to
eventually contracting in the future, we suppose the respective net-interconnect
margin to shrink too. Graph 56 recaps our interconnection expense and revenue per
minutes relative to ARPM forecast.

The fact that smaller operators like Hutchison and Axis has been able to reinforce their position lately is evidence that
network effect is rather insignificant in Indonesian cellular market. Additionally, as we foresee data-voice to take charge in
near future, interconnection cost would be less relevant.

Operating Cost Margin and Investments
Fixed Business Margin
As discussed previously, broadband tariff in Indonesia is relatively more expensive
than its International peers; we believe that the regulator would likely to drive price
lower, considering currently low broadband penetration rate could be propelled by a

decreasing unit price; consequently lowering Telkom operating
margin. Moreover, although regulator has not required Telkom to
share its fixed-broadband infrastructure, in the future where demand
for fixed-broadband is presumed to be increasingly growing, we
foresee threat of new entrants and a likely scenario that Telkom
would have to share its infrastructure thus decreasing its competitive
advantage. It would be then most reasonable to expect a rather

that

would
be
higher
than
comparables due to following reasons; firstly, Telkom’s operation and
maintenance expense contributes by relatively low portion to the
overall operating expenses, this means that even if unit price margin
were to shrink, it would not affect Telkom’s overall margin greatly. In
fact the company was able to reduce costs related to the operation
and maintenance in 2012, which shows its superb operational
efficiency. Secondly, Telkom’s most expensive bill comes from
63

total operating expense, whereas comparables’ average is within 20-30% range;
Moreover, Telkom’s workforce efficiency in which reflected by the amount of

As for the worst case scenario (Indonesia economy to erode further, appendix II), it

drop in revenues – in response to the slumping demand, would result in significantly
lower margin. We use comparables margin (of 40%) as proxy in determining margin
contraction for the worst case scenario.
Cellular Business Margin
Graph 60 – Prepaid Subscribers (% of
Total)
As aforementioned, Indonesian cellular market is characterized by its highly
disproportionate amount of pre-paid subscribers; as of December 2012, only 1 in
100 cellular subscribers is a post-paid subscriber. Though pre-paid ARPU is much
lower than post-paid ARPU, the profit margin associated with pre-paid subscription
is arguably higher as pre-paid subscribers pay higher unit prices (price per minute
and per SMS, for instance), and operator need not deal with bad-credit customer
which may incur additional operating cost (under SG&A expense). We believe that
is one of the main reasons why Indonesian cellular operators have been able to
sustain EBITDA margin above 45% whilst international median margin is around
66
38% . We see a correlation between high revenue contribution from prepaid
subscribers and high operating margin as shown in graph 62 and 63.

company were to succeed in preserving its market share; as such we incorporated
this likely scenario into our best-case scenario analysis.
Fixed Line Investments
Fixed network business investments mostly utilized for deploying access and
backbone infrastructure to support the broadband services. As part of the IDN
project aforementioned, we foresee intensive capital expenditure (CAPEX) relative
to sales to last until 2015.
In order to have the notion of recent investment intensity committed by Telkom, we
conducted comparable analysis focusing on capital expenditure per fixed-line
subscription as shown in graph 67, which we expect similar intensity to hold in near
future as we believe that relatively more expensive investment made by Telkom per
fixed-line subscribers was largely due to a more challenging Indonesia’s geography
condition, and the fact that Telkom has just began its fiber roll-out whereas its peers
had started couple years ago. As for the longer run, Telkom’s fixed network CAPEX
budget should be closer to the comparable CAPEX.

In what regards extraordinary maintenance, we foresee no additional CAPEX

has showed continuing improvement,
which implies that the existing infrastructure has served the customers well.
Cellular Investments
We see that Telkomsel capital expenditure per incremental data traffic and per
subscribers has been much lower than its competitors. It would therefore be
reasonable to anticipate higher investments made by Telkomsel in the future in
order to keep up with competitors, especially in response to XL-Axis’ stronger
infrastructure.

Telkom routinely engage independent market analysts to conduct survey and market research on their customers’ levels of
satisfaction and loyalty. (avaliable on annual report 2012,2011,2010)

Since Telkomsel’s CAPEX has been largely, if not all, devoted to BTS deployment, it
is of utmost importance to properly estimate the additional BTS of which is installed
to accommodate excessively growing data-demand. Considering limited spectrum
availability operators could only meet data traffic through deploying more BTS.
Please see appendix VI for our BTS forecast.
Our BTS forecast implies that Telkomsel’s capital expenditure would be
continuously larger than its current level. Notwithstanding, provided our mobile
broadband revenues forecast, Telkomsel would break even in 2015, and would
continue generating good returns from the emergence of the mobile broadband
usage.

FOREX Risks on Investments
We also take into account FOREX risk associated with Telkom capital expenditure
69
committed under foreign currency contractual agreement . As provided in the
appendix VII, higher CAPEX was somehow associated with weaker Rupiah in that
respective year. Hence, it is also important to understand what might be the
additional amount derived from the FOREX risk. By assuming that in the future,
Telkom would commit to 40% USD denominated CAPEX, we could then infer
additional amount of CAPEX associated with increased in USD/IDR.

Telkom, we believe it does not sufficiently capture specific country risks such as

Final Valuation Considerations

for the cellular business due
to expectedly lower margin and higher investments for the upcoming
terms discussed previously. Notwithstanding, we believe that
relatively high excess return generated by Telkomsel is reasonable
given its persistently strong operational and financial position that
would enable the company to maintain its large-scale business, which

Indonesia aforementioned previously. As for the fixed-line business,
we believe that the emergence of the growing demand for fixedSource: Analyst’s estimates
broadband service, despite the unavoidable decline of the fixed-voice service, would
avoid value destruction. Nevertheless, we would not see significant excess returns
generated from the fixed network business as we foresee broadband price
compression would penalize the margin and NOPLAT consecutively.
Terminal growth rate
We derived terminal growth rate for both cellular and fixed-line business from the
reinvestment rate and the ROIC associated with their respective perpetuity cash
flow. As for our base case scenario, we obtained 7% and 4.5% nominal growth rate
for the cellular and fixed-line business respectively. Considering the expected longterm inflation rate of 4.5%, cellular and fixed-line business is then respectively
presumed to grow by approximately 2.4% and 0% in real term and in perpetuity.
Since the cellular business terminal value contributes by disproportionately large
amount to the enterprise value, impact on the fair value caused by changes in the
implicit cellular growth rates is considerably larger. We then performed another
sensitivity analysis in regards to the final price target that is affected by the implicit
cellular growth rate derived from reinvestment rate and ROIC, refer to table 18.

Appendix II – Additional Scenario Analysis
Indonesia economy were to erode further
Sluggish global economy recovery especially China has continued putting pressure
on commodity prices due to significantly lower demand. Indonesia whose export
derives mostly from commodity, such as coal, petroleum gases, palm oil, etc. has
suffered continuously from this global economy contraction. On the other side,
Indonesia has been massively importing services and products to support rapid
growth and to meet demand of growing consumption; altogether this creates great
imbalances in the current account and causes large deficit. In Q2 2013 Indonesia
current account deficit hit at an all-time high of nearly 10 billion USD (4.4% of GDP)
and had showed no meaningful recovery
75
(in spite of remarkably cheaper Rupiah,
76
export showed little improvement) in the third quarter . If export were to continue
slumping in the future, overall country production may continue declining,
unemployment and thus poverty would then inflate higher. Consequently,
disposable income available to households and respective consumption in general
would shrink significantly; companies including Telkom would be greatly affected.

Graph 78 – Indonesia Current Account Deficit

Graph 79 – Indonesia Unemployment Rate
Source: Badan Pusat Statistik Indonesia
This growing concern may only worsen market sentiment, and foreign capital
outflow would continue even more severely as foreign investors hardly gain their
77
confidence back. In turn, we might see Rupiah being penalized further , and
subsequently inflation would continue rising. Additionally, there is a possibility that
the government would cut its budget on subsidy expenditure – especially on fuel
next year as it is running over budget largely this year of which the amount becomes
75
In contrary, India was able to recover noticeable as its account deficit improve to 1.2% GDP in third quarter from 4.8% GDP
in second quarter.
76
Account deficit narrowed to only 3.8% of GDP in the third quarter.
77
Rupiah along with Indian Rupee were the most depreciated currencies against other foreign currency including the USD; as
both countries endures the highest account deficit among other APAC countries, they are most vulnerable to the approaching
FED tapering.

COMPANY REPORT
unsustainable (cutting budget may also be a necessary mean to restore Rupiah
value). If subsidy on food, fuel and electricity were to be reduced again next year,
prices and thus inflation would remain high (higher transportation cost would lead to
higher end-products and or services, for instance). As consequence, domestic
interest rates would be higher and very likely to remain high until inflation meets the
target, in which may penalize growth and reduce consumption much further. In what
regards additional risk associated with largely depreciated Rupiah, as also
expressed by Telkom, slumping Rupiah may trigger modification of the current
floating exchange rate policy in order to stabilize, maintain, or increase the Rupiah’s
value; this modification may result in “substantially higher interest rates, liquidity
shortages, and the withholding of additional financial assistance by multinational
78
lenders” (Telkom annual report 2012 - Risk Factors) . Lastly, next year presidential
election may only bring another uncertainty; this additional political risk would not do
any favour to Indonesian economy.
To conclude; reduced consumption would adversely impact Telkom’s revenue
through limited growth of its subscribers’ base and the reduction of the amount of
telecommunication service used. Subsequently, unit price would have to adjust;
indirectly, by giving more promotions as a mean to induce usage, or directly, by
cutting unit price (per minute, SMS, etc.) as competition would become more
irrational (assuming operators would fight harder to gain incremental subscribers
from competitors due to limited growth in general). Collectively, ARPU would decline
and revenue would be penalized.
Lower unit price also implies lower operating margin and cash flow, which
consequently would affect Telkom’s capability to expand its network capacity as
cash available for CAPEX would be then limited. Historically, Telkom has been able
to fund most of its investments using cash from operation, and has not relied heavily
on debts. Decreasing cash available for investment would force Telkom to rely more
on debt of which its associated cost would be presumably higher than it is today,
hence Telkom would incur significantly higher financial expense, which in turn,
lessen the net profit and/or dividend available for shareholder. As for the case of
limited financial assistance, which implies difficulties in funding CAPEX, Telkom
would suffer from network constraint which could result in increasing complaints and
declining market share that leads to decreasing revenues. As such, we predict
Telkom overall growth rate to be slower in the perpetuity.

Appendix VI – BTS Forecast
By estimating BTS utilization rate and total data traffic production we could infer how
many additional BTS required each year. In our CAPEX estimation, we incorporate
several assumptions due to lack of information. Firstly, we assume that BTS
utilization rate wouldn’t run for more than 90% (very efficient) swiftly in the near
future. Since there are BTSs deployed in more rural or less populated area
throughout the country that are less utilized, the overall average utilization rate must
less than optimal; but for the longer run, we may expect utilization rate be higher
than 90% by assuming that wealth and public infrastructure would be well dispersed
thus promoting higher utilization in the suburban area. Furthermore, gradually
increasing data capacity per BTS should be reasonable as 2G BTS would be fully
79
replaced by 3G/4G BTS with higher capacity in the future . Following table
summarized our BTS forecast;

Secondly, we assume that “transmission equipment” net book value reported under
the fixed assets caption, consist of simply BTS to provide cellular network services.
In practice, transmission equipment may consist of other base station namely base
station controller, base station subsystems, etc. But since the company only
disclose the number of BTS deployed, we assume BTSs to already include all other
related communication equipment. We could then estimate net book value for each
BTS. The net book value is presumed to already reflect depreciation and deduction.
Subsequently, we could estimate the value of BTS in the future by taking into
account the upcoming depreciation expense.
79
Management indicates that Telkomsel will stop deploying 2G-BTS in the next 1-2 years.
