Exchange Controls

The Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in Indonesian Rupiah. The conversion of Indonesian Rupiah amounts into U.S. Dollars are included solely for the convenience of the readers and have been made using the average of the market bid and offer rates of Rp14,050 to US$1.00 published by Reuters on December 31, 2020.

On March 31, 2021, the Reuters bid and offer rates were Rp14,450 to US$1.00 and Rp14,490 to US$1.00, respectively.

17


Foreign Exchange Controls

Indonesia has limited foreign exchange controls. The Indonesian Rupiah has been, and in general is, freely convertible. A number of regulations, however, have an impact on the exchange system. For example, only banks are authorized to deal in foreign exchange and execute exchange transactions related to the import and export of goods. In addition, Indonesian banks (including branches of foreign banks in Indonesia) are required to report to Bank Indonesia any fund transfers exceeding US$10,000.

Following the disbanding of the PKLN Team in accordance with Presidential Regulation No.82 of 2020, we are no longer required to obtain the PKLN Team's approval to enter foreign commercial loans. Based on Presidential Regulation No.59 of 1972, however, we are still required to obtain an approval from the MOF prior to entering foreign commercial loans. We are also required to submit periodic reports to MOF during the term of such foreign commercial loans. Following the disbanding of the PKLN Team and pending the issuance of the relevant implementing regulations, there is uncertainty as to the MOF's approval process and how periodic reports on foreign commercial loans will be handled.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality.

Continuing growth in and the converging nature of wireless and broadband services will require us to deploy increasing amounts of capital and require ongoing access to spectrum in order to provide attractive services to customers.

Our continued investments in the construction of our infrastructure network may not adequately address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data traffic or otherwise achieve the desired economic returns.

We are subject to the control of the Government.

Financial Risks

We are exposed to interest rate risk and risks inherent to potential changes in relevant benchmarks and indices, including changes to the administration of certain benchmarks or their future discontinuation, such as the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021.

We may be unable to fund the capital expenditures needed for us to remain competitive in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia.

Legal and Compliance Risks

If we are found liable for anti-competitive practices, we may be subjected to substantial liability which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

19


Regulatory Risks

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant change. These changes may result in increased competition, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenue, among other things. These changes may also directly reduce our margins or reduce the costs of our competitors. These adverse changes resulting from regulation may have a material adverse effect on us.

Risks relating to Natural Disasters

Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and events beyond our control, which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may be affected by uncertainty in the balance of power between local governments and the central government in Indonesia.

Risks related to our ADSs

The trading price of our ADSs may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to you.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about us or our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline.

The different characteristics of the capital markets in Indonesia and the U.S. may negatively affect the trading prices of our ADSs and shares.

Our financial results are reported to the OJK in conformity with IFAS, which differs in certain respects from IFRS, and we distribute dividends based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share determined in reliance on IFAS.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are permitted to, and we have relied and will rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company.

The voting rights of holders of our ADSs are limited by the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

Holders of our ADSs may be subject to limitations on transfer of their ADSs.

Holders of our ADSs may not receive distributions on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to them.

Holders of our ADSs may experience dilution of their holdings due to their inability to participate in rights offerings.

The time required for the exchange between ADSs and shares might be longer than expected and investors might not be able to settle or effect any sale of their securities during this period.

21


We are established in Indonesia and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process or enforce judgments, on us, our Commissioners, Directors or officers within the United States, or to enforce judgments of a foreign court against us or any of these persons in Indonesia.

Risks Related to Our Business

Operational Risks

A material failure in the continuing operations of our network, certain key systems, gateways to our network or the networks of other network operators could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We depend to a significant degree on the uninterrupted operation of our network to provide our services. For example, we depend on access to our fixed wireline network for the operation of our fixed line network and the termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed line telephones, and a significant portion of our cellular and international long distance call traffic is routed through the PSTN. We also depend on access to an internet and broadband network and a cellular network. Our integrated network includes a copper access network, fiber optic access network, BTSs, switching equipment, optical and radio transmission equipment, an IP Core network, satellites and application servers.

In addition, we also rely on interconnection to the networks of other telecommunications operators to carry calls and data from our subscribers to the subscribers of operators both within Indonesia and overseas. We also depend on certain technologically sophisticated management information systems and other systems, such as our customer billing system, to enable us to conduct our operations. Our network, including our information systems, IT and infrastructure and the networks of other operators with whom our subscribers are interconnected, are vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operation from a variety of sources including earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, equipment failure, network software flaws, transmission cable disruption or similar events. For example, in 2018 and 2019, a number of submarine cables that we rely on to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago were damaged mostly as a result of earthquakes. In 2020, a few submarine cables were damaged due to shunt faults (i.e., existence of a current leakage path between the power conductor and seawater without a break in the power conductor) and cuts. As a result, services in east Indonesia faced slowdowns and disruptions as we had to redirect affected traffic through satellites until the submarine cables could be restored. One of our building in Pekanbaru suffered fire damage in August 2020 and certain of our infrastructures and equipment were damaged by flood in Jakarta, Sulawesi and Kalimantan in 2020, without any such damages causing material interruption to our operations.

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, we cannot guarantee that the implementation of such plans will be completely or partially successful should any portion of our network be severely damaged or interrupted. Any failure that results in an interruption of our operations or of the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors

Under the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation No. 46 of 2021 on Post, Telecommunication and Broadcasting ("GR No.46/2021"), telecommunication service providers with passive telecommunication infrastructure (e.g., ducts, towers, poles, or communication manholes, among others) has to give access to its passive telecommunication infrastructure to other telecommunication providers. GR No.46/2021 states that such use of passive telecommunication infrastructure must be based on cooperation and mutual agreement between the parties involved in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminative manner.

Further, a telecommunication service provider with active telecommunication and/or broadcasting infrastructure may give access to such active infrastructure to other telecommunication provider as agreed mutually and in furtherance of fair business competition. This may be achieved by leasing of network capacity to other telecommunication providers.

22


It remains to be seen how these new provisions will affect our business and our relations with other telecommunication players in Indonesia. We cannot assure you that the Government will adopt final terms which we will consider to be commercially reasonable. For example, we cannot assure you that any subsequent or implementing regulations will allow us to charge competitors who lease our network capacity fees at rates which we will consider to be commercially acceptable. If such regulations were to be implemented, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) or other epidemics

An outbreak, or the fear of an outbreak of any severe infectious disease such as diseases caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the H5N1 avian flu or the human swine flu (H1N1) or a similar communicable diseases, if uncontrolled, or restrictions or containment measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, could have a material adverse effect on the overall business sentiment in Indonesia and in economies where we carry out our business, on Indonesian and international consumers' confidence and purchasing behavior, and in turn, on demand for our products and services. Most recently, in January 2020, an outbreak of COVID-19 believed to have started in Wuhan, Hubei, China, spread aggressively in multiple countries, including Indonesia, other countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. The World Health Organization (the "WHO") declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a "pandemic" on March 11, 2020. On April 13, 2020, the President of Indonesia issued Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020 declaring the current COVID-19 pandemic a national disaster. Various measures have been implemented to contain the outbreak in certain regions and countries, resulting in extensive government-imposed restrictions and containment measures, including restrictions on domestic and international travel, restrictions on public gatherings, social distancing, office and school closures, and local or general "stay at home" or quarantine orders. Such measures have resulted in a period of business disruptions, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the world’s population, and a decrease in economic activities in several countries, including Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreak of infectious diseases, similar or more stringent measures could be taken that may further worsen the Indonesian economy and the global economy.

If the current COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases were to develop and persist, customers may delay, suspend or decrease orders for our products and services, and demand for certain of our products and services may decrease. Our distribution network and retail outlets may also experience significant disruption due to physical distancing measures and other containment measures. Our ability to provide services to our clients that require our teams to access their homes or offices may also be negatively impacted. Such disruptions did occur in the year ended December 31, 2020 but did not significantly affect our operations, business and results of operations. Regardless of enhanced hygiene and precautionary measures to safeguard the safety and health of our employees and customers, we could be subject to labor shortages or suspension of work if certain of our personnel, in Indonesia or elsewhere, were to become infected with the disease or restrictions and containment measures described above were to affect their ability to reach our offices and outlets. Our operations may also be significantly and adversely affected if government-imposed restrictions or other containment measures require us to suspend our operations, partially or entirely. Finally, the negative impact of the outbreak on the global economy may increase counterparty risks or increase difficulties in collecting fees, which may negatively impact our cashflows, delay certain of our projects, and reduce our ability to access capital or increase financing costs.

23


As at the date hereof, the potential economic impact on Indonesia and the global economy brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, subject to change and difficult to estimate or predict. There is no assurance that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia or elsewhere can be effectively controlled, or that another disease outbreak will not happen in the future. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to the full extent of the above-described potential delays and disruptions on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Our networks face both potential physical and cyber security threats, such as theft, vandalism and acts intended to disrupt our operations, which could adversely affect our operating results

Our networks and equipment, particularly our wireline access network, face both potential physical and cyber security threats. Physical threats include theft and vandalism of our equipment and organized attacks against key infrastructure intended to disrupt operations. In addition, telecommunications companies worldwide face increasing cyber security threats as businesses become increasingly dependent on telecommunications and computer networks, and adopt cloud technologies. Cyber security threats include gaining unauthorized access to our systems or inserting computer viruses or malicious software in our systems to misappropriate consumer data and other sensitive information, corrupt our data or disrupt our operations. Unauthorized access may also be gained through traditional means such as the theft of computers, portable data devices or mobile phones and intelligence gathering on employees with access to our systems.

Although we have not experienced any material successful cyberattacks to date that have affected our operations, our network and website are frequently targeted by cyberattacks. For example, in October 2018, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia's ("Telkomsat") corporate website was defaced. The content on the homepage was altered, which left customers unable to access the site for part of one day, before the site was restored. In 2020, we detected 49.44 million cyber threats to our servers. Almost all of those threats were non-disruptive and only 78 of them raised to the level of issues we needed to specifically address, which we did successfully and promptly. In addition, we cannot guarantee that safety procedures we have in place and our intrusion detection systems may always prove efficient against illegal access to our internal data and databases, customers', suppliers and other parties' data hosted on our systems. If we are unable to prevent such attacks or successfully detect such intrusions in a timely manner or at all, such data could be misappropriated and illegally used or disseminated. While none of these cyberattacks have caused significant losses to date, a successful cyberattack may lead us to incur substantial costs to repair damage or restore data, implement substantial organizational changes and training to prevent future similar attacks and lost revenues and litigation costs due to misused sensitive information, liabilities for information loss, breach of confidentiality of private information, and cause substantial reputational damage. Cyberattacks may also cause equipment failures, loss of information, including sensitive information or information stored in our customers' computer systems and mobile phone systems, failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security or data protection laws, as well as disruption to our operations or our customers' operations. Furthermore, it might be difficult to calculate the economic costs caused by potential cyber security incidents and maintain sufficient insurance coverage relating to them at commercially reasonable rates and terms. Eliminating computer viruses and other security problems may also require interruptions, delays or suspension of our services, reduce our customer satisfaction and cause us to incur additional costs. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be precisely predicted. We take preventive and remedial measures with respect to our systems, including enhanced cooperation with the police, particularly in areas prone to criminal activity and regular updates of our information system security measures. While we believe that we have taken appropriate measures to protect our network, there is no assurance that these physical and cyber security measures will be successful. Damage to our network, equipment or data and the need to repair such damage resulting from a physical or cyberattack may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face a number of risks relating to our internet-related services

In addition to cyber security threats, since we provide connections to the internet and host websites for customers and develop internet content and applications, we may be perceived as being associated with the content carried over our network or displayed on websites that we host. For example, in the past, due to an escalation in spam messages generated from email addresses on the Telkom network, Telkom was placed on certain DNS blacklists which blocked all email generated from Telkom addresses for almost a week until remedial measures could be put into place. This did not occur in 2020 as anti-spam tools already deployed into our systems significantly mitigated the effect of cyberattacks on our systems.

24


While we have made certain administrative and technical adjustments to identify and combat spam, we cannot assure you that such measures will always be effective and that we would not be placed on certain DNS blacklists again in the future. In addition, the content carried over our network or the websites that we host may contain materials or information which may be illegal, defamatory, impermissible or infringe on third party copyrights. We cannot and do not screen all of this content and may face litigation claims due to a perceived association with such content. These types of claims can be costly to defend, divert management resources and attention, and may damage our reputation.

A revenue leakage might occur due to internal weaknesses or external factors and if this risk were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results

We may face revenue leakage or problems with collecting all the revenues to which we may be entitled, due to the possibility of inaccurate billing, delays in transaction processing, dishonest customers or other factors. Further, our services might be susceptible to piracy and unauthorized usage. Such piracy and unauthorized usage may lead to a loss of revenue for our Group which may affect our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, in recent years the use of simboxes, which are electronic boxes that use cell phone antennae or a BTS on which local operator SIM cards are installed so that international calls can be fraudulently terminated through local numbers so that the fraudster can bypass interconnection rates in the destination country, have led to a loss of revenue for our Group.

We have taken certain preventive measures to mitigate the possibility of revenue leakage by increasing control functions in all of our existing business processes, increasing cooperation and information sharing between operational units to detect potential fraud, implementing revenue assurance methods, employing adequate policies and procedures as well as implementing information systems applications to minimize revenue leakages. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that in the future there will be no significant revenue leakages or that any such leakages will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

New technologies may adversely affect our ability to remain competitive

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. We may face increasing competition due to technologies under development or which may be developed in the future. Future development or application of new or alternative technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to our business model, the development of new products, the provision of additional services and substantial new investments by us. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. We cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect our operations or the competitiveness of our services. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively integrate new technologies into our existing business model.

One of the main challenges faced by the telecommunications industry in Indonesia is the increasing use of Over The Top services that has become a substitute for voice and SMS services, in line with the growing number of smartphone users. In particular, the percentage contribution from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenues has declined from 26.3% for 2018 to 14.2% for 2020. This has happened not only in Indonesia, but also in developed countries where smartphone penetration is high. In addition, we face a continuing risk of market entry by new operators and service providers (including non-telecommunications players and Over The Top players) who, by using newer or lower cost technologies, may succeed in rapidly attracting customers away from established market participants such as ourselves. This may result in a loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services entry barriers being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. For example, the increased availability of high-throughput satellite capacity in Indonesia has increased competition, and adversely affected pricing, for our satellite business.

We cannot assure you that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will be able to acquire new technologies necessary to compete in changed circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

25


Expected benefits from investment in new networks and technologies may not be realized

We may pursue new growth opportunities in the communications industry in the future, including introducing services and products employing new technologies, such as next generation mobile technologies, 5G, virtualization, software-defined networking, cloud based technologies, new video and content delivery platforms and digital marketing. The implementation of these new technologies depends on a number of factors, including developing our network and the launch of new and commercially viable products and services involving these technologies. We may have to incur substantial expenditure to develop our network, services and products and to gain access to related or enabling technologies in order to successfully implement these new technologies. We may not be successful in modifying our network infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner to facilitate such implementation, which could adversely affect our quality of service, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we may face the risk of unforeseen complications in the deployment of new technologies. Any newly adopted technology may not perform as expected, and we may not be able to successfully or on a timely basis to develop the new technology to effectively and economically deliver services based on such technology.

Our satellites have limited operational life and they may be damaged or destroyed during in-orbit operation or suffer launch delays or failures. The loss or reduced performance of a satellite, whether caused by equipment failure or its license being revoked, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services

We operate three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and the Merah Putih Satellite. These satellites have limited operational lives, and their design lives ended or will end approximately in 2020, 2032 and 2033, respectively. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life can be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their systems, sub-systems and component parts, on-board fuel reserves, accuracy of their launch into orbit, exposure to micrometeorite storms, or other natural events in space, collision with orbital debris, or the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. We use satellite transponder capacity on our satellites in connection with many aspects of our business, including direct leasing of such capacity and routing for our international long distance and cellular services.

International Telecommunication Union regulations specify that a designated satellite orbital slot has been allocated for Indonesia and the Government has the right to determine which party is licensed to use such slot. While we hold a license to use the designated satellite orbital slot, in the event any of our satellites experience technical problems or failure, the Government may determine that we have failed to optimize the existing slot under our license, which may result in the Government withdrawing our license. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain use of the designated satellite orbital slot in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Government.

Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular Telecommunications Business

Competition from existing cellular service providers may adversely affect our cellular services business

The Indonesian cellular service business is highly competitive. Competition among cellular service providers in Indonesia is based on various factors, including pricing, network quality and coverage, the range of services, features offered and customer service. With the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, we believe that data network quality and coverage, including 4G/LTE coverage, will increasingly become an intense area of competition. In recent years, competitors have offered promotions such as bonus data packages in order to attract customers, which has generally made the pricing environment in Indonesia less profitable. In 2019, the intensity of downward pressure on selling prices decreased but this trend reversed in 2020. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak created uncertainty and a general economic slowdown in Indonesia that impacted consumers' purchasing power and, as a result, translated into lower consumer spending. This accelerated a shift from Telkomsel's legacy business to its data services and generally exacerbated competition among operators, which translated into increased downward pressure on selling prices. This competition is likely to continue, particularly as telecommunications companies are affected by increased competition from Over The Top providers. In 2020, a number of our competitors continued to increase their coverage by expanding outside Java.

26


For tariffs which are within the scope of the Job Creation Law, variations in selling prices may be limited because the Government may determine upper and lower limits based on public interest and fair business competition principles. Upper limits may be determined in areas where only one telecommunications operator operates. Lower limits may be determined based on the Government's assessment of prevailing market conditions (for instance to prevent unfair business competition). The implementing regulations of such law, however, have yet to be passed.

Our cellular services business, operated through our majority-owned subsidiary Telkomsel, competes primarily with Indosat and XL Axiata. However, we are also facing increased competition from smaller operators that provide cellular services in Indonesia, including PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia ("Hutchison"), which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand and PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk ("Smartfren Telecom"), which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

There has been and we expect there could be further consolidation in our industry in the future. For instance, XL Axiata completed the acquisition of a majority interest in and merged with PT Axis Telekom in 2014, which resulted in XL Axiata acquiring additional frequency allocations to provide 4G/LTE services as well as acquiring the customers of PT Axis Telekom. In December 2020, CK Hutchison and Qatar’s Ooredoo announced they had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding and initiated negotiations for combining their operations in Indonesia, subject to satisfactory completion of such negotiations and meeting certain requirements, including obtaining required regulatory approvals. Furthermore, we believe any merger or consolidation in the industry will help to promote a healthier competition between operators as well as better cost efficiencies and reduce overlapping in many areas.

Additional consolidation among cellular services providers may occur which may be driven by competitive factors as well as efforts to reduce operating costs and obtain wider spectrum allocation. In addition, the Government tends to encourage consolidation, including through the enactment of the Job Creation Law which regulates, among other things, telecommunications clusters, in an effort to promote healthier competition among fewer industry players with a better cost-efficiency profile and wider spectrum allocations.

Consolidation of competitors for cellular services may allow them to expand the geographic coverage of their integrated network infrastructure. In recent years, both Telkomsel and its competitors have acquired wider spectrum allocations as part of the Government's spectrum refarming initiative. In 2019, we entered into a refarming arrangement with Indosat which was approved by the Government. This has allowed them to improve the quality of their cellular services as well as to expand the amount of traffic that they can service through their network, which may allow them to expand their services and increase revenues. Furthermore, the Job Creation Law allows telecommunications operators to share network infrastructure and capacity on a B2B basis while applicable tariffs will remain determined by the operators and/or will remain based on the tariff formula as set out by the ICT ministry. Details relating to the implementation of such law are still unknown as at the date hereof since the implementing regulations have not been passed yet. See "— We may, in the future, be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors." As the telecommunications operator with the most extensive network infrastructure in Indonesia, if capacity and network sharing pursuant to such regulation were not implemented on a B2B basis and such regulation were to become effective, it would allow our competitors to take advantage of our existing infrastructure without significant capital expenditure, which would have a significant impact on competition.

As a result, any of these developments may present challenges for Telkomsel in maintaining its market position and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may further lose wireline telephone subscribers and revenues derived from our wireline voice services may continue to decline, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects

Revenues derived from our wireline voice services have declined during the past several years mainly due to the increasing popularity of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication. Tariffs for mobile services have declined in recent years which has further accelerated substitution of mobile for wireline voice services. The number of our fixed wireline subscribers decreased by 2.7% in 2020 and revenues from our wireline voice services decreased by 27.2% in 2020. The percentage of revenues derived from our wireline voice services out of our total revenues was 1.6% in 2020.

27


Since the beginning of 2015, we have taken various steps to stabilize our revenues from wireline voice services by seeking to migrate subscribers to IndiHome, a service which bundles fixed broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating the adverse impact of the substitution of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication for wireline voice services or in reducing the rate of decline in our revenues generated from wireline voice services. Migration from wireline voice services to mobile services and other alternative means of communication may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our wireline voice services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Our data and internet services are facing increasing competition, and we may experience declining margins and/or market share from such services as such competition intensifies

Our data and internet services are facing increased competition from other data and internet operators, including mobile operators. The number of mobile broadband subscribers have increased with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, which adversely affects our market share and revenues from our fixed line data and internet services.

In addition, with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, data and internet services have become an intense area of competition in our industry. We have been taking various measures in order to mitigate the impact of intense competition in our data and internet businesses. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating such adverse impact. Competition may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our data and internet services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality

We expect to continue to offer promotional plans to attract subscribers and increase usage of our network by our cellular subscribers, in particular during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. We also expect to continue to promote our data services and fixed broadband services. While we believe that we have sufficient spectrum allocation to support our current business, we may in the future need to acquire additional spectrum allocation to accommodate future growth in subscribers and traffic. As a result, we may experience increased network congestion, which may affect our network performance and damage our reputation with our subscribers. The Government occasionally conducts auctions for unused spectrum allocation. We seek to secure as much of the available spectrum as we expect is needed for our operations but, as this is a scarce resource and allocations are subject to regulatory factors which may change over time (such as auction rules) and other considerations, such as fair business conduct and fair competition, we cannot guarantee that we will always be in a position to secure spectrum allocations consistent with our expectations or strategic objectives.

Moreover, the increase in smartphone applications that rely on data services has resulted in the significant amount of data traffic and cellular network congestion. To support such additional demands on our network, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to improve our network coverage. Such additional capital expenditures, together with the possible degradation of our cellular services, could materially and adversely affect our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

28


Continuing growth in and the converging nature of wireless and broadband services will require us to deploy increasing amounts of capital and require ongoing access to spectrum in order to provide attractive services to customers

Telecommunications services are undergoing rapid and significant technological changes and a dramatic increase in usage, in particular, the demand for faster and seamless usage of video and data across mobile and fixed devices. We continually invest in our networks in order to improve our wireless and broadband services to meet this increasing demand and remain competitive. Improvements in these services depend on many factors, including continued access to and deployment of adequate spectrum and the capital needed to expand our network to support transport of these services. We must maintain and expand our network capacity and coverage for transport of video, data and voice between cell and fixed landline sites. To this end, we have participated in spectrum auctions, at increasing financial cost, and continue to deploy technology advancements in order to further improve our network. Further, we must pay an annual right of usage fee for the license in case of our winning additional spectrum, such as the additional 30 MHz spectrum at 2.3 GHz frequency we won at an auction in October 2017.

Network service enhancements and product launches may not occur as scheduled or at the cost expected due to many factors, including delays in determining equipment and wireless handset operating standards, supplier delays, increases in network equipment and handset component costs, regulatory permitting delays for tower sites or enhancements, or labor-related delays. Deployment of new technology also may adversely affect the performance of the network for existing services. If we cannot acquire the required spectrum or deploy the services customers desire on a timely basis and at a reasonable price, then our ability to attract and retain customers, and therefore maintain and improve our operating margins, could be materially adversely affected.

Our continued investments in the construction of our infrastructure network may not adequately address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data traffic or otherwise achieve the desired economic returns

We regularly review our network capability, advantage, and capacity availability and continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic.

Our wireless data traffic business has experienced significant growth in recent years, which contributed to the growth of our operating revenue and provides our business with further opportunities for development. The COVID-19 outbreak had an impact on consumption habits with more people working and learning from home, which positively impacted data traffic and shifted traffic from business districts to residential areas. We expect a continued and substantial increase in data traffic not only as a result of changes in consumption habits and consumers' behavior but also as a result of our efforts to make our data services affordable at a time where purchasing power and disposable income have been negatively affected. We launched our 4G/LTE services in 2014 and the substantial increase in data traffic resulting from the growth of our wireless data traffic business, our 4G/LTE business and the proliferation of smartphones had significantly strained the existing capacity of our telecommunications network infrastructure. As a result, based on our anticipation of further significant traffic data growth, we have made and will continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic. However, our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network is subject to various factors, a number of which are not within our control, such as regulations and changes in regulations, changes to the competitive environment or technological developments that could adversely affect our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network as expected or desired and achieve anticipated returns on our investments.

29


We are subject to the control of the Government

The Government, through the MSOE, owns 52.09% of our issued share capital. Consequently, the Government effectively controls the outcome of matters requiring the vote of our shareholders, including the composition of our boards of Directors and Commissioners, and determining the timing and amount of dividend payments. The Government has historically influenced, and is likely to continue to influence, our strategy and operations. In addition, the Government owns a Dwiwarna Share in our Company which gives the Government, represented by the MSOE, certain rights such as the right to veto with regards to the nomination, appointment and removal of our Directors and Commissioners, the issuance of new shares and any amendments to our Articles of Association. The rights of the Government attached to this Dwiwarna Share limit the ability of public shareholders to influence certain matters relating to our Company. Under our Articles of Association, the Government cannot transfer the Dwiwarna Share. The Government's rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not terminate unless our articles of association are amended, which would require the approval of the Government as holder of the Dwiwarna Share. See "Relationship with the Government and Government Agencies — The Government as Shareholder."

There can be no assurance that the Government will exercise its control and influence to our benefit. For example, the Government may request us to enter into transactions which are not in our best interests. In addition, there can also be no assurance that we will ever become independent of our Government shareholder or even if we do become independent, that we will be able to exercise any such independence effectively in making decisions concerning our business and prospects, including decisions concerning compensation from the Government when we act in the public interest. If we agree to act in the public interest and are not adequately compensated by the Government, our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity and result of operations may be materially and adversely affected, which would limit our ability to compete effectively and expand our business.

Financial Risks

We are exposed to interest rate risk and risks inherent to potential changes in relevant benchmarks and indices, including changes to the administration of certain benchmarks or their future discontinuation, such as the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021

Our debt includes bank borrowings used to finance our operations. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we aim to balance the share of our fixed rate loans and floating rate loans in our bank borrowings. We try to achieve this where there are opportunities to increase the share of fixed-rate loans in our overall loan portfolio in light of prevailing interest rates available in the market at any given time and based on market and our expectations as to future floating and fixed interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 58.7% (based on the aggregate then outstanding principal) of our total bank borrowings were floating-rate loans.

Changes in the macro-economic environment worldwide due to on-going trade disputes between the United States and China and the COVID-19 outbreak also had an impact on Southeast Asia and Indonesia. In an effort to support the Indonesian Rupiah and the Indonesian economy, Bank Indonesia decreased its benchmark interest rate five times in 2020 to 3.75%.

Moreover, reference rates and indices, including interest rate benchmarks (such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"), or the Jakarta Interbank Offered Rate ("JIBOR")), which are used to determine the amounts payable under financial instruments or the value of such financial instruments ("Benchmarks"), have, in recent years, been the subject of political and regulatory scrutiny as to how they are created and operated. This has resulted, particularly in the United Kingdom, in regulatory reform and changes to existing Benchmarks, with further changes anticipated. This could increase the costs and risks of complying with any such regulations or requirements.

30


For example, LIBOR has been questioned as a result of the absence of relevant active underlying markets and possible disincentives for market participants to continue contributing to such benchmarks. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it does not intend to continue to persuade, or use its powers to compel, panel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021 (the "FCA Announcement"). The FCA Announcement indicated that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Subsequent speeches by FCA officials have emphasized that market participants should not rely on the continued publication of LIBOR after 2021. Furthermore, on December 4, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) published a consultation on its intention to cease the publication of LIBOR. Based on feedback and information received from LIBOR panel banks, and following discussions with the FCA and other official sector bodies, IBA made announcements on November 18, 2020, and November 30, 2020, that it would consult on its intention to cease certain LIBOR publications on specific dates, subject to any rights of the FCA to compel IBA to continue publication.

Following the implementation of any such changes, reforms or potential reforms, the manner of administration of LIBOR, EURIBOR or other benchmark indices such as JIBOR may change, with the result that it may perform differently than in the past or benchmarks could be eliminated entirely. Any of the above changes or any other consequential changes as a result of international or national reforms or other initiatives or investigations could have an adverse effect on the interest paid on our floating-rate loans that are linked to, reference or otherwise are dependent (in whole or in part) upon a benchmark. As of December 31, 2020, however, the aggregate outstanding amount of our floating rate loans that use LIBOR or EURIBOR as reference rates was insignificant. Nonetheless, the uncertainty as to whether LIBOR will survive in its current form or at all may lead to adverse market conditions, which may have an adverse effect on access to liquidity and debt refinancing in the future.

We may be unable to fund the capital expenditures needed for us to remain competitive in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia

The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our telecommunications infrastructure technology, which involves substantial capital investment. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, our consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp33,620 billion, Rp36,485 billion and Rp29,279 billion (US$2,084 million), respectively. We expect the decrease in our capital expenditure in 2020 to be temporary as such decrease did not reflect a decrease in our funding capacity, but rather the impact of practical and operational difficulties relating to the deployment of such expenditures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented in Indonesia, as well as weaker growth in demand from IndiHome subscribers since the number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 1.0 million in 2020 compared with a 1.9 million increase in 2019. Our ability to fund capital expenditures in the future will depend on our future operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and upon our ability to obtain additional external financing. Even if we have not experienced any difficulties in securing loan facilities and we expect our current credit profile would allow us to secure new loan facilities as necessary, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, in the future. In addition, we can only incur additional financing in compliance with the terms of our debt agreements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to improve or expand our telecommunications infrastructure technology or update our other technologies to the extent necessary to remain competitive in the Indonesian telecommunications market. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

31


Legal and Compliance Risks

If we are found liable for anti-competitive practices, we may be subjected to substantial liability which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to anti-competitive practices and anti-monopoly. Law No.5 of 1999 on Prohibition of Monopolistic Practice and Unfair Business Competition (the "Business Competition Law") prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

In 2016, our Company, Telkomsel, and five other local operators were found to have violated the Business Competition Law for price-fixing practices related to SMS services. We and Telkomsel have paid penalties to the treasury fund in the amount of Rp18 billion and Rp25 billion, respectively.

In 2017, it was alleged that we had violated the Business Competition Law by selling our bundling program which is marketed under the retail brand "IndiHome." This product allows customers to choose one or more of our services, which consist primarily of broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services, at a competitive price. Although KPPU held that we did not violate the provisions in the Business Competition Law, the case highlights the risk that our business strategy could be challenged by our customers or regulators.

In November 2018, we received a summons from the KPPU regarding unspecified allegations of violations of Business Competition Law. We are in the process of gathering information for further discussion with KPPU, but we have not received any information on the exact subject matter of or reason for such investigation. Our policy is to collaborate fully with KPPU and their investigation. Based on communication with KPPU, we do not expect KPPU to further investigate such allegations and, as at the date hereof, we are expecting a formal written confirmation from them that such process has been terminated.

In November 2019, we received a summons from the KPPU regarding alleged violations of the Business Competition Law relating to Telkom and Telkomsel's policy on blocking access to Netflix. Telkom has provided information in response to the investigation conducted by the KPPU and conveyed that Telkom found itself obliged to take such temporary measures to protect consumers from potential losses (e.g. despite the subscription payment, consumers are exposed to potential risk of not being able to enjoy Netflix's services if Netflix, and/or access from Indonesia to all or part of the contents they provide is banned by the Government, and also, the content Netflix provides may not be suitable for Indonesian viewers) as Telkom considers that as at the date hereof, Netflix has not yet fully complied with Indonesian regulations regarding media content, especially in relation to censorship laws. In 2020, Telkom has responded to KPPU's requests relating to its investigation into this matter. The investigation was extended to address alleged discriminatory behavior of Telkom acting as an Internet Access Provider. On April 29, 2021, KPPU concluded those proceedings when it ruled that it had not been established that either Telkom or Telkomsel had violated the Business Competition Law as previously alleged. This decision is final.

In November 2019, we also received a summons from the KPPU regarding alleged violations of the Business Competition Law relating to Telkom's Internet Protocol Transit Business in Papua. In December 2019, we provided clarifications regarding this matter as requested by the KPPU. We received a second summons from the KPPU in August 2020 that we responded to on August 7, 2020.

We cannot assure you that any new or existing governmental regulators will not, in the future, find our business practices to have an anti-competitive effect, nor can we assure you that we will not be found to have violated the relevant laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly in the future. If we are found to have violated any laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly, we may be subjected to substantial liability such as payments of fines, the amount of which will be subject to the discretion of the courts, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

32


Regulatory Risks

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant change. These changes may result in increased competition, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenue, among other things. These changes may also directly reduce our margins or reduce the costs of our competitors. These adverse changes resulting from regulation may have a material adverse effect on us

Reform of Indonesian telecommunications regulations initiated by the Government in 1999 have, to a certain extent, resulted in the industry's liberalization, including removal of barriers to entry and the promotion of competition. However, in recent years, the volume and complexity of regulatory changes has created an environment of considerable regulatory uncertainty. In addition, as the legal and regulatory environment of the Indonesian telecommunications sector continue to change, competitors, potentially with greater resources than us, may enter the Indonesian telecommunications sector and compete with us in providing telecommunications services. Furthermore, it is impossible to anticipate the regulatory policies that will be applied to new technologies.

We derive substantial revenue from interconnection services because we have the largest network in Indonesia and our competitors must pay tariffs to connect to our network. As regulated by the MoCI, although SMS interconnection rates increased from Rp23 to Rp24, as a result of ITRB No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 effective April 2014, through December 31, 2015, SMS interconnection rates have been decreasing in recent years and may decrease again in the future. As a result, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease in the future if SMS interconnection rates, as regulated by the MoCI, continue to decrease.

The Government has announced its plan (and has already circulated a white paper) to gradually shift the existing interconnection services regime to be IP-based. It is expected that, in 2025, all interconnection services will be IP-based and existing interconnection services (e.g., SMS) would only be part of the value added service. As of the date hereof, amendments to MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 are being prepared to accommodate IP-based interconnection services during a transition period to allow operators able to use such technology to do so. If this governmental initiative materializes, we may need to significantly change our existing infrastructure (which our competitors rely on in carrying out conventional interconnection services and pay tariffs to us) with the new technologies. Consequently, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease, and we may need to reserve costs to procure new infrastructures.

In the future, the Government may announce or implement other regulatory changes which may adversely affect our business or our existing licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with other domestic or foreign telecommunications operators, that regulatory changes will not disproportionately reduce our competitors' costs or disproportionately reduce our revenues, or that regulatory changes, amendments or interpretations of current or future laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

In addition to Indonesian laws and regulations, due to the nature of our business and the services we provide, we may be subject to the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions where we operate or have customers. In particular, regulators in various jurisdictions are increasingly scrutinizing how companies collect, process, use and analyze, store, share and transmit personal data. This increased scrutiny may result in new interpretations of existing laws, thereby further impacting our business. Recent regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which went into effect in the European Union ("EU") on May 25, 2018, apply to the collection, use, retention, security, processing, and transfer of personally identifiable information of residents of certain countries, such as EU member states in the case of the GDPR. The GDPR created a range of new compliance obligations, and imposes significant fines and sanctions for violations. In Indonesia, the draft data protection bill, which has adopted the contents of the GDPR, has been submitted to the House of Representatives of Indonesia (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat or "DPR") in February 2020 and, as at the date hereof, is still being discussed with the Government. As a result, there is still uncertainty as to the scope of the data protection bill, including the scope and nature of exemptions from the rights of personal data owners where such data are aggregated for various purposes, such as statistical and scientific research, which could negatively impact the development of big data applications and businesses in Indonesia until such matters are settled.

33


Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any applicable regulatory requirements or orders, including but not limited to privacy, data protection, information security, or consumer protection related privacy laws and regulations, could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or individuals, subject us to fines, penalties, and/or judgments, or otherwise adversely affect our business, as our reputation could be negatively impacted.

Regulatory changes may adversely affect our business and results of operations

We operate in a regulated environment, and our telecommunications operations are mainly regulated by the MoCI. We are also required to comply with applicable information and technology, and consumer data protection laws and regulations in carrying out our activities. Future regulatory changes, particularly with respect to telecommunications network, telecommunications services, and data protection may generate incremental costs and delays, thereby adversely affecting our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, licenses obtained by us under applicable Indonesian laws and regulations may be subject to conditions, compliance with which may be expensive, difficult or impossible. It is possible that governmental authorities could take enforcement actions against us for our failure to comply with such regulations, including the aforementioned conditions. These enforcement actions could result, among other things, in the imposition of fines or the revocation of our licenses. Compliance with such regulations could require us to make substantial capital expenditures and consequently divert funds from our planned construction projects. We could also experience delays in our business schedules as a result of such compliance efforts. Each of the above could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Applicable regulations on tariffs and their implementation as supervised by the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority ("ITRA") may affect our revenues and earnings

The Government does not set a fixed amount or specified range of tariff that must be charged by telecommunications operators to their customers. However, the Government does set out formulas that telecommunications operators like us must refer to in determining the tariff for their services. MoCI Regulation No.15/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Basic Telephone Service Distributed through Fixed Line ("MoCI Regulation No.15/2008") and MoCI Regulation No.09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Telecommunication Service Distributed through Mobile Cellular Network ("MoCI Regulation No.09/2008") are the applicable regulations for tariff calculation and determination relating to basic telephony and cellular services. Tariff formulation for our internet telephony services for retail customers is subject to MoCI Regulation No.8 of 2017 on Provision of Internet Telephony Service for Public ("MoCI Regulation No.8/2017"). In October 2019, MoCI issued new regulation MoCI Regulation No.13 of 2019 on Provision of Telecommunication Services ("MoCI Regulation No.13/2019") that was expected to revoke and replace MoCI Regulation No.8/2017 from April 25, 2020. MoCI Regulation No.2/2020 ("MoCI Regulation No.2/2020") amended MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 which postponed the effectiveness of MoCI Regulation No.13 of 2019 to January 31, 2021.

Neither MoCI Regulation No.8/2017 nor MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 discuss at length the formula that we must apply in determining tariff for internet telephony services as a telecommunications operator. While MoCI Regulation 13/2019 requires operators to follow the relevant MoCI guidelines, as of the date hereof, MoCI has not yet published such guidelines. MoCI Regulation No. 8/2017 requires operators to determine the internet telephony services tariff following a cost-based calculation in a manner that (i) accounts for investments in the telecommunications network, (ii) accounts for investments in infrastructure relating to internet telephony services, and (iii) ensures the tariff for internet telephony services corresponds to the applicable tariff for basic telephony services. We understand that, pending publication of the expected MoCI guidelines on the tariff for internet telephony services for retail customers in accordance with MoCI Regulation No.13/2019, operators are expected to follow the existing tariff determination process based on MoCI Regulation No.8/2017.

34


The formulas set out in MoCI Regulation No.15/2008 and MoCI Regulation No.09/2008 comprise numerous variables, such as cost of capital, cost of equity, cost of debt, annuity factor, traffic data and fee cost. These variables are accounted for based on, among other things, our annual financial reports and statements. Although this may seem to give us flexibility in tariff formulation, the Government is still authorized to supervise the implementation of tariff formulation through (i) the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority ("ITRA"), for basic telephony and cellular services, and (ii) Directorate General on Post and Informatics ("DGPI"), for internet telephony services for the public. Based on its supervision, ITRA may take further action as it sees fit if any of our actions is deemed to potentially disrupt fair competition in the telecommunications market. Our promotional tariff must be carefully planned and calculated to avoid any possible "predatory pricing" claim, as the Government does not fix an amount for the lowest tariff that we may charge to our customers.

If we violate the tariff formulation as governed under these tariff regulations, we will be subject to fines (relating to MoCI Regulation No.15/2008) and examination by ITRA (relating to MoCI Regulation No.09/2008). Both regulations allow the public to participate in the supervision process by submitting complaints, e.g. regarding unfavorable fees charged by us. Meanwhile, the lack of clarity and MoCI Regulation 09/2008 with respect to non-compliance with the applicable internet telephony services tariff could lead to unpredictable action that may be taken by DGPI. We cannot assure you that there will be no actions taken by either ITRA or DGPI against us or complaints alleged by our customers against us. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As the Government dissolved ITRA in 2020 in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 112 of 2020, ITRA's former duties and functions are now assumed by the MoCI.

Regulations for the configuration of BTS towers may delay the installation of new BTS towers or changes in the placement of existing towers, and may erode our leadership position by requiring us to share our towers with our competitors

In 2008, MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No. 02/PER/M.KOMINFO/3/2008 relating to the construction, utilization and sharing of BTS towers ("MoCI Regulation No.02/2008"). In 2009, MoCI (jointly with the Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Public Works and Head of Investment Coordinating Board) issued a joint regulation ("Joint Ministries Regulation") that supplemented MoCI Regulation No.02/2008. The purpose of this new regulation was essentially to harmonize central, local and sectoral administrative procedures and functions for granting BTS tower construction permits. MoCI Regulation No.02/2008 was revoked in 2018. As of the date hereof, the relevant regulations governing the construction of BTS towers are the Joint Ministries Regulation and the Omnibus Law.

Based on the Joint Ministries Regulation, the construction of BTS towers requires permits from the local government. This may adversely affect us in the allocation, development or expansion plan of our new BTS towers as setting up of our new towers will become more complicated. We may be prohibited from setting up new BTS towers in certain local areas thereby restricting our expansion as well. It may also adversely affect our existing BTS towers if local governments require any changes in the placement of the existing towers. For instance, in the Jakarta area, the Governor of Jakarta, by virtue of Governor Regulation No.106 of 2019 on Guideline on the Provision of Utility Network Infrastructures, requires established utility networks (such as telecommunications cable networks) to be relocated underground where Government-owned facilities that are in compliance with the Jakarta's planning masterplan can be used and leased by operators who have obtained the relevant governmental permit. Such relocation must be completed within 12 months from the date such governmental facilities are made available to operators, subject to exemptions that may be granted by the Government. As of the date hereof, the Government's underground facilities have been made available to operators in certain areas following the Government's gradual implementation of its relocation plan for utility networks in the Jakarta area. Operators who do not comply with this new requirement could be subject to sanctions (such as written warnings, forced cable cutting or pole/infrastructure retraction). A governmental initiative is only being implemented in Jakarta and Surabaya but it could be expanded to other cities by local governments, which could adversely impact our tower business. Most operators object to the high lease tariffs that are being introduced by the local governments in both Jakarta and Surabaya. As a result, the local governments are still discussing this issue with all stakeholders and evaluating the tariffs taking into account the potential impact they may have on end-consumers. Although we have been communicating with the local governments, the extent of financial exposure and the concrete implementation of this initiative remain unclear. However, we believe that the Government will likely proceed with the 12-month transition period in accordance with the regulation.

35


In addition, this regulation requires us to allow other telecommunications operators to lease space on and utilize our telecommunications towers in a manner that provides equal opportunity to and without any discrimination among such other telecommunications operators. This allows our competitors to expand their networks by leasing space on and utilizing our telecommunications towers without having to expend capital expenditures to build their own telecommunications towers. As a result, our competitors may be able to expand their network quickly and grow their business quickly, particularly in urban areas where new space for additional towers may be difficult to obtain. As at the date hereof, no implementing regulations have been passed in connection with the Job Creation Law regarding the telecommunications sector. As a result, it is still premature to assess risks that may materialize as a result of such law. If our wholly-owned subsidiary PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi ("Mitratel") is subject to network sharing requirements in relation to the deployment of 5G technology, depending how such requirements (if any), are implemented, or if more than one operator obtains 5G licenses, this could reduce the potential for collocation, the availability of sites for building new BTS towers in certain areas. In addition, any requirement imposing the retrofitting of existing BTS towers to allow more than one operator to use them could create additional costs.

In order to operate our telecommunications towers, Indonesian regulations allow local governments to impose three types of fees (property tax (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan/PBB), fees charged in connection with building permits (Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan) and the telecommunication tower control fees) fees which are determined on a cost basis subject to a formula provided by the MoF and the location of the telecommunications towers. While local governments that have begun to impose such fees have not charged material amounts as at the date hereof, we cannot assure you that such fees will not be material in the future. In addition, we cannot assure you that there will be no material difference in the amount of fees that we would be liable to pay to the relevant local governments. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

We may experience local community opposition to some of our tower sites

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, local community opposition to our existing sites or the construction of new tower sites for various reasons, including aesthetic and alleged health concerns. As a result of such opposition, we could be required by the local authorities to dismantle and relocate certain towers. Opposition to the construction of new towers could also cause delays in the availability and completion of new towers. In extreme cases, vandalism could result in damaged equipment.

If we are required to relocate a material number of our towers and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, or production delays or damages to equipment occur, it could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to numerous non-tax state revenue payments and a Universal Service Obligation Contribution ("USO Contribution")

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations authorizing the Government to collect non-tax state revenue from us. Pursuant to Government Regulation No.80 of 2015 on Applicable Types and Tariff on Non-Tax State Revenue for MoCI ("GR No.80/2015"), the Government's non-tax revenue may be derived from, among other things, tests for telecommunications devices, telecommunications operations and use of radio frequency spectrum. MoCI Regulation No.17 of 2016 on Tariff Implementation Guidelines on Non-Tax State Revenue Collected from Telecommunication Operation Rights Fee (Biaya Hak Penyelenggaraan, or "BHP") and USO Contribution, as amended by MoCI Regulation No.19 of 2016 ("MoCI Regulation No.19/2016") specifies that every licensed telecommunications operator must pay the Telecommunication BHP and USO Contribution. Government Regulation No.53 of 2000 on Use of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit ("GR No.53/2000") and MoCI Regulation No.21 of 2014 also specifies the obligation for telecommunications operators that use a slot in the orbit for their satellite to pay a satellite orbit operation right fee.

36


Under Law No.36 of 1999 on Telecommunications (the "Telecommunications Law"), telecommunications operators must participate in USO Contribution. Further, according to MoCI Regulation No.10 of 2018 on Implementation of Telecommunication and Informatics USO ("MoCI Regulation No.10/2018") and GR No.46/2021, the USO Contribution will be one of the sources of funding for provision of information and communication technology infrastructure. This infrastructure provision is targeted to (i) remote areas needing access to information and telecommunications technology, (ii) groups of citizens with disabilities or economic limitations and/or (iii) other areas that still require access to information and telecommunications technology.

According to the Telecommunications Law, failure to make the non-tax state revenue payment and participate in USO Contribution will be subject to administrative sanctions; the most adverse one of which is revocation of license (which should be preceded by written warnings). While we have not previously failed to make the requisite payments, any failure by us to pay these obligations may cause our licenses to be revoked. Any revocation of licenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The interpretation and application of the anticipated enactment of a new consumer data protection regulation are uncertain and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

Law No.11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions Law as amended by Law No.19 of 2016 ("EIT Law") first came into effect on April 21, 2008. The EIT Law sets forth general principles to be further implemented through a series of Government regulations, presidential decrees and ministerial decrees, some of which have not yet been promulgated. In general, the provisions of the law are broad, and few sources of interpretive guidance are available. A number of implementing regulations to the EIT Law have been enacted, among others, Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 on Implementation of Electronic System and Transaction, as implemented by MoCI No. 5 of 2020 on Private Electronic System Operators ("MoCI Regulation No.5/2020") ("GR No.71/2019") and MoCI Regulation No.20 of 2016 on Protection of Personal Data in an Electronic System ("MoCI Regulation No.20/2016"). These regulations are new and subject to interpretation by the regulatory authorities. Pending clear instances of the application of such regulations, it is uncertain how these regulations will affect us. Further, following the enactment of the Omnibus Law, GR No.46/2021 was passed which made recent changes to certain regulatory provisions that apply to the telecommunications sector.

GR No.71/2019 has implemented a number of significant changes, including (i) a new definition of public and private electronic system operators, (ii) new data localization requirements for public electronic system operators, (iii) further elaboration on the deletion of electronic data, (iv) the provision of electronic certificates and electronic reliability certificates, and (v) a new scope of electronic certification services. GR No.71/2019 also defines "public electronic system operators" as governmental institutions that organize, manage or operate an electronic system or any person, state apparatus or business entities appointed by any such governmental institution to organize, manage or operate an electronic system. The other electronic system operators that do fall within the foregoing category will be considered "private electronic system operators." Under MoCI Regulation No.5/2020, private electronic system operators must register their electronic systems with MoCI. The registration obligation also applies to private electronic system operators that are established under foreign laws (or are domiciled outside of Indonesia) and fulfil certain criteria. Private electronic system operators must ensure that their electronic systems do not (i) contain prohibited electronic information or documents and (ii) facilitate the dissemination of such electronic information or documents. Private electronic system operators must also take down prohibited contents within 24 hours or within four hours if they have received a take-down notice from MoCI.

Under GR No.71/2019, there is a one-year transitional period for electronic system operators to comply with their obligation to register with MoCI and a two-year transitional period for public electronic system operators to comply with the data localization requirements, which is the obligation to manage, process and store the electronic systems and data within Indonesia. As a positive development from the previous rule, GR No.71/2019 has clarified the data localization requirements (which now comprise "managing," "processing," and "storing" electronic systems and data) and removed the uncertainty about the "public services" definition under the prior applicable rule. The previous rule only stipulated that electronic system operators for "public services" were obliged to, among others, maintain data centers within Indonesia. GR No. 71/2019 removed all references to "public services" and instead uses the concept of "public electronic system operators", which clarifies which parties are required to comply with the additional requirements under GR No. 71/2019.

37


Not all of the implementing regulations of the EIT Law, however, have been issued and some have only been recently enacted. Accordingly, the full impact of the EIT Law, the related implementing regulations and any change in Indonesian consumer data protection regulations on our financial and operational status cannot be determined at this time. There is no assurance that we would be able to comply with the EIT Law, or that the compliance would not require us to make substantial capital expenditure or delays in our business schedules.

Our electronic money business activity is highly regulated

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations in respect of our electronic money (e-money) business activities. The practice of e-money in Indonesia is mainly governed by Bank Indonesia ("BI") Regulation No.20/6/PBI/2018 on Electronic Money ("BI Regulation No.20/2018"). Any party which wishes to carry out e-money activities in Indonesia must first obtain an e-money license granted by BI. Although we, through our subsidiary Telkomsel, have obtained an e-money license from BI, we are still subject to evaluation conducted by BI. Under BI Regulation No.20/2018, BI is authorized to take further action based on the evaluation as it sees fit, among others, to revoke a license, to accelerate the license period or to limit the license holder's activity. Subject to evaluation, if BI takes the view that there are reasons to impose any of those further actions on Telkomsel, our ability to conduct business in the usual course would be limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

BI Circular Letter No.16/11/DKSP dated July 22, 2014 on Electronic Money Operations which was most recently amended by BI Circular Letter No.18/21/DKSP dated September 27, 2016, further implements the obligation for e-money license holders to report any change in the type or name, developments or addition of facilities to the e-money product. See "Item 4. Information on the Company — Licensing — Payment Method Using e-Money." The amendment of this circular specifies that an e-money product with a different type and/or name, developments and/or additional facilities can only be issued after obtaining approval from BI. Further, BI Regulation No.20/2018 is also implemented by BI's Board of Governor Members Regulation No.20/21/PADG/2018 dated August 20, 2018 on the Report on the Implementation of Payment Using Card and Electronic Money Activities by Smallholder Credit Banks and Non-Bank Institutions ("BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018"). BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018 regulates the reporting obligation that must be satisfied by any party practicing e-money activity.

We must comply with these regulations as we are carrying out a business which is highly regulated. If we, through Telkomsel, fail to comply with any of these obligations, we will be subject to administrative sanctions. Any sanction imposed on Telkomsel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to Development of New Businesses and Acquisitions

We may not succeed in our efforts to develop new businesses

We believe that efforts to develop new businesses other than the telecommunications business such as digital life and smart platform and enterprise digital businesses, as well as international expansion are necessary to ensure continuing business growth. Risks related to new business development include competition from established players, suitability of business model, competition from disruptive new technologies or business models, the need to acquire new expertise in the new areas of operation, and risks related to online media which include intellectual property, consumer protection and confidentiality of customer data. Further, we have to focus on securing new enterprise customers. If we are unable to secure new contracts, or we are unable to renew our existing contracts with similar contract value, size or margins to existing ones, this may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

38


Focusing on international expansion is one of our strategic business initiatives. In particular, we have expanded into a number of jurisdictions in telecommunications or data related areas, namely Singapore, Hong Kong, Timor Leste, Australia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United States and New Zealand. Expanding our operations internationally exposes us to a number of risks associated with operating in new jurisdictions. For example, our international operations could be adversely affected by political or social instability and unrest, regulatory changes (such as an increase in taxes applicable to our operations), macroeconomic instability, limitations on or controls on the foreign exchange trade, competition from local operators, difference in consumer preference and a lack of expertise in the local markets in which we will operate. Any of these factors could limit our expected returns from our expansion and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our acquisition activities expose us to various risks

We have in the past pursued, and may continue to pursue, acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses. For instance, in 2019, Mitratel purchased 2,100 telecommunications towers from PT Indosat Tbk ("Indosat"), a telecommunications operator company in Indonesia. In 2020, Mitratel entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 6,050 telecommunications towers from our majority-owned subsidiary PT Telekomunikasi Selular ("Telkomsel"), 1,911 of which were transferred to Mitratel in October 2020 with the remaining balance similarly transferred in February 2021. The success of these acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired businesses with our existing businesses. Based on the size and complexity of certain businesses, integrating them into our existing business could require substantial time, expense and effort from our management. The process of integrating an acquired business may also involve unforeseen costs and delays or other operational, technical and financial difficulties that may require a disproportionate amount of management attention as well as financial and other resources. If our management's attention is diverted or there are any difficulties associated with integrating these businesses, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Even if we are able to successfully integrate these businesses, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits we expect to result from such acquisitions and strategic transactions or realize these benefits within the time frame that we expect. Moreover, such businesses generally remain subject to unforeseeable factors outside of our control. Our acquisitions and strategic transactions, including those entered into in recent periods, may turn out to be unprofitable. Any failure to successfully incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations, to enhance operating efficiencies from consolidation savings, minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties and realize the anticipated benefits on time, or at all, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and cash flows.

Risks Related to our Corporate Structure

We are dependent on our subsidiary, Telkomsel, a cellular telecommunications services and cellular telecommunications networks company

We derived 65.3%, 65.1% and 61.5% of our revenue in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, from our mobile business through our 65.0% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. The remaining 35.0% interest in Telkomsel is held by Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte. Ltd. ("Singtel"). A telecommunication company based in Singapore, Singtel may seek to influence the management, operation and performance of Telkomsel. In the event that there are differences between us and Singtel regarding the business, strategy and operations of Telkomsel, these issues may take time to resolve, or may not result in a positive outcome for our Group. These factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

39


Our controlling shareholder's interest may differ from those of our other shareholders

The Government has a controlling equity interest of 52.09% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the ability to determine the outcome of all actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The Government also holds our one Dwiwarna Share, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of our Directors and Commissioners. The Government may also use its powers as a majority shareholder or under the Dwiwarna Share to cause us to issue new shares, amend our Articles of Association or bring about actions to merge or dissolve us, increase or decrease our authorized capital or reduce our issued capital, or veto any of these actions. One or more of these may result in the delisting of our securities from certain exchanges. In addition, the Government regulates the Indonesian telecommunications industry through the MoCI.

As of December 31, 2020, the Government had a 14.29% equity interest in Indosat, which competes with us in cellular services, data center services, IT solutions, system integration services and fixed IDD telecommunications services. The Government's equity interest in Indosat also includes a Dwiwarna Share which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain strategic matters under Indosat's articles of association, including decisions on dissolution, liquidation and bankruptcy, and also permits the Government to nominate one director to its board of directors and one commissioner to its board of commissioners. As a result, there may be instances where the Government's interests will conflict with ours. There is no assurance that the Government will not direct opportunities to Indosat or favor Indosat or any other telecommunications operator when exercising regulatory powers over the Indonesian telecommunications industry. If the Government were to give priority to the business of Indosat or any other telecommunications operator over ours, or to expand its equity interest in Indosat or acquire an equity interest in any other telecommunications operator, our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control, and could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their ADSs and/or shares, and could also materially decrease the price that some investors are willing to pay for our ADSs and/or shares.

Risks Related to Indonesia

Political and Social Risks

Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely affect our business  

Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia's changing political landscape. In 1999, Indonesia conducted its first free elections for representatives in parliament. In 2004, 2009, 2014 and most recently, in 2019, elections were held in Indonesia to elect the President, Vice-President and representatives in parliament. Indonesia also has many political parties, without any one party holding a clear majority. Due to these factors, Indonesia has, from time to time, experienced political instability, as well as general social and civil unrest. For example, since 2000, thousands of Indonesians have participated in demonstrations in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities both for and against former presidents Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and current President Joko Widodo as well as in response to specific issues, including fuel subsidy reductions, privatization of state assets, anti-corruption measures, decentralization and provincial autonomy, and the American-led military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although these demonstrations were generally peaceful, some turned violent. Indonesia announced in November 2014, and implemented with effect from January 1, 2015, a fixed diesel subsidy of Rp1,000 per liter and scrapped the gasoline subsidy. Although the implementation did not result in any significant violence or political instability, the announcement and implementation also coincided with a period where crude oil prices had dropped very significantly from 2014. Currently, the Government reviews and adjusts the price for fuel on monthly basis and implements the adjusted fuel price in the following month. There can be no assurance that future increases in crude oil and fuel prices will not result in political and social instability.

40


President Joko Widodo won the Indonesian presidential elections which took place in 2014, and was sworn in as President on October 20, 2014. Although the 2014 elections were conducted in a peaceful manner, President Joko Widodo's governing coalition did not hold a majority of seats in parliament. Between November 2016 and February 2017, significant demonstrations took place in central Jakarta against the governor of Jakarta. These demonstrations occurred during the closely fought Jakarta gubernatorial elections which took place in February 2017 and continued through the subsequent run-off election in April 2017. Each of the foregoing events, as well as political campaigns in Indonesia generally, may be indicative of the degree of political and social division in Indonesia. The latest presidential election took place on April 17, 2019, and incumbent President Joko Widodo won the presidential polls with 55.5% of the total votes. The result triggered allegations of electoral fraud. Thousands of supporters of the opposing party Prabowo Subianto held a rally in front of the Elections Supervisory Agency's ("BAWASLU") headquarters on Jl. Thamrin in Central Jakarta on May 21, 2019, calling for the disqualification of Joko Widodo from the presidential election. The rally ended with a riot on May 22, 2019, in Central Jakarta. The opposing party also filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court to challenge the election result, alleging fraud. The Constitutional Court on July 27, 2019, rejected the lawsuit challenging the presidential election result. There can be no assurance that this situation or future sources of discontent will not lead to further political and social instability.

Separatist movements and clashes between religious and ethnic groups have also resulted in social and civil unrest in parts of Indonesia, such as Aceh in the past and in Papua. There have been clashes between supporters of those separatist movements and the Indonesian military, including continued activity in Papua by separatist rebels that has led to violent incidents. There have also been inter-ethnic conflicts, for example in Kalimantan, as well as inter-religious conflict such as in Maluku and Poso.

In August 2019, after the arrest of Papuan students for allegedly vandalizing the Indonesian flag, riots broke out in Papua. The riots caused a Telkom customer service building to be damaged in 2019, but this did not result in significant issues, service interruption or damages.

In October and November 2020, there were numerous protests held across Indonesia against the newly issued Job Creation Law. This law amends more than 70 existing laws and seeks to cut red tape and boost investments for creating new jobs. Protesters claimed that the Job Creation Law will generally undermine existing labor laws and weaken environmental protections.

Labor issues have also come to the fore in Indonesia. In 2003, the Government enacted the current labor law that gave employees greater protections. Occasional efforts to reduce these protections have prompted an upsurge in public protests as workers responded to policies that they deemed unfavorable. More recently, the Job Creation Law amended certain provisions of the Labor Law.

There can be no assurance that social and civil disturbances will not occur in the future and on a wider scale, or that any such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Terrorist activities in Indonesia could destabilize Indonesia, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities

There have been a number of terrorist incidents in Indonesia in the past two decades, including the May 2005 bombing in Central Sulawesi, the Bali bombings in October 2002 and October 2005 and the bombings at the JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta in July 2009, which resulted in deaths and injuries. On January 14, 2016, several coordinated bombings and gun shootings occurred in Jalan Thamrin, a main thoroughfare in Jakarta, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries. On May 24, 2017, a bombing at a bus station in Jakarta resulted in multiple deaths and injuries. In May 2018, three churches were bombed in Surabaya, killing at least 28 people and injuring at least 50 others. On October 10, 2019, Wiranto, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs at that time was stabbed several times by a member of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah, an extremist group, during his visit in Java. More recently, a bombing occurred on March 28, 2021 in the Makassar Cathedral injuring more than 20 people.

41


Although the Government has successfully countered some terrorist activities in recent years and arrested several of those suspected of being involved in these incidents, terrorist incidents may continue and, if serious or widespread, might have a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy and may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of our securities.

Macro-Economic Risks

Negative changes in global, regional or Indonesian economic activity could adversely affect our business

Changes in the Indonesian, regional and global economies can affect our performance. Two significant events in the past that impacted Indonesia's economy were the Asian economic crisis of 1997 and the global economic crisis which started in 2008. The 1997 crisis was characterized in Indonesia by, among others, currency depreciation, a significant decline in real gross domestic product, high interest rates, social unrest and extraordinary political developments. Indonesia entered a recessionary phase with relatively low levels of growth between 1999 and 2002. The rate of growth has stabilized at relatively higher levels in subsequent years, though there has been a moderate slowdown in growth from 2012 to 2016 with slight development over the following years, except in 2020, principally due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented in response to the pandemic. In addition, the Government continues to have a modest fiscal deficit and a high level of sovereign debt, its foreign currency reserves are modest, the Indonesian Rupiah continues to be volatile and has poor liquidity, and the banking sector is weak and suffers from high levels of non-performing loans. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the current Indonesian economic situation would not deteriorate, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

While the global economic crisis that arose from the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States did not affect Indonesia's economy as severely as in 1997, it still put Indonesia's economy under pressure. The global financial markets have also experienced volatility as a result of expectations relating to monetary and interest rate policies of the United States, concerns over the debt crisis in the Eurozone, Brexit, the United States and China trade disputes, concerns over China's economic health and economic protectionism, and most recently, the ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Uncertainty over the outcome of the Eurozone governments' financial support programs and worries about sovereign finances generally are ongoing. The economic and social impact of the COVID-19 spread, which as at the date hereof continues to disrupt the Indonesian economy, further escalation of trade and geopolitical tensions, uncertainties around the conditions of the future trade relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU after the UK ceased to be a member of the EU on January 30, 2020, and persistently weak economic data pointing to a protracted slowdown in global growth are among the possible triggers that could result in a major deterioration in financial market sentiment.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and major trading partners, most notably China, continue to escalate following the introduction of a series of tariff measures in both countries. Although China is the primary target of U.S. trade measures, value chain linkages mean that other emerging markets, primarily in Asia, may also be impacted. China's policy response to these trade measures also presents a degree of uncertainty. There is some evidence of China's monetary policy easing and the potential for greater fiscal spending, which could result in imbalances in the Chinese economy. This could undermine efforts to address already high debt levels and increase medium-term risks.

42


In Europe, the UK Government and the EU Commission announced an agreement on a EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement ("TCA"). While this agreement covers a number of topics, including trade in goods and in services, digital trade, intellectual property, public procurement, aviation and road transport, energy, fisheries, social security coordination, law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, thematic cooperation and participation in certain EU programs, there are still many unanswered questions. For instance, the TCA does not cover the specifics of the UK-EU agreement regarding financial services. In addition, the TCA is being applied on temporary basis pending the ratification of its final terms in the EU. Such uncertainties, uncertainty as to the magnitude of the expected negative impact of Brexit on the economic outlook of the UK and the Eurozone, and other expected or unexpected effects of Brexit, such as (i) the possible exit of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland from the UK, (ii) the possibility that other European Union member States could hold similar referendums to the one held in the UK and/or call into question their membership of the European Union, (iii) the possibility that one or more countries that adopted the Euro as their national currency might decide, in the long term, to adopt an alternative currency, or (iv) prolonged periods of uncertainty connected to these eventualities may have a negative economic impact and increase volatility in international markets. These could include greater volatility of foreign exchange and financial markets in general due to the increased uncertainty. Market and economic disruptions have affected, and may continue to affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt, among other factors. There can be no assurance that the market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, will not spread, nor can there be any assurance that future financial support packages will be made available or, even if provided, will be sufficient to stabilise the affected countries and markets in Europe or elsewhere.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and preventative or protective actions that governmental authorities around the world have taken to counter the effects of the pandemic, including social distancing, office and school closures, travel restrictions and the imposition of quarantines, have resulted in periods of business disruption, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the world’s population, and a global decrease in economic activity, including in Indonesia. Such measures, and rapid increases of severe cases and deaths where such measures fail or are lifted prematurely, may cause unprecedented economic disruption in Indonesia and elsewhere. As at the date hereof, there is substantial medical uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and no government-certified treatment or vaccine available. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to uncertainty in the global economy and significant volatility in global financial markets, which may have a negative impact on global economic conditions and lead to a prolonged global economic crisis or recession. The local and global economic disruption from the COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected individuals and Indonesian companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large corporates (a number of which are our consumers and customers) which have experienced reductions in income, sales and revenue. In 2020, Indonesia's GDP suffered a contraction by 2.07% (computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The consequential decrease in disposable income or available cash, together with a broad negative business sentiment could lead to weaker demand for certain of our products and services in the future. For the financial year ended December 31, 2020, there was no significant negative impact on our sales revenue.

If the current global uncertainties become protracted, we can provide no assurance that they will not have a material and adverse effect on Indonesia's economic growth and consequently on our business.

Adverse economic conditions could result in less business activity, less disposable income available for consumers to spend and reduced consumer purchasing power, which may reduce demand for communication services, including our services, which in turn would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. There is no assurance that there will not be a recurrence of economic instability in future, or that, should it occur, it will not have an impact on the performance of our business.

Fluctuations in the value of the Indonesian Rupiah may materially and adversely affect us

Our functional currency is the Indonesian Rupiah. One of the most important impacts the Asian economic crisis had on Indonesia was the depreciation and volatility in the value of the Indonesian Rupiah as measured against other currencies, such as the U.S. Dollar. The Indonesian Rupiah continues to experience significant volatility.

43


In particular, in 2020 the Rupiah has weakened against the U.S. Dollar from Rp13,612 = US$1.00 on January 27, 2020 to Rp16,741 = US$1.00 on April 2, 2020 before appreciating again up to Rp14,105 = US$1.00 on December 31, 2020. (based on the middle exchange rate announced by Bank Indonesia), due, among other factors, to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Indonesian economy.  

In addition, while the Indonesian Rupiah has generally been freely convertible and transferable, from time to time, Bank Indonesia has intervened in the currency exchange markets in furtherance of its policies, either by selling Indonesian Rupiah or by using its foreign currency reserves to purchase Indonesian Rupiah. We can give no assurance that the current floating exchange rate policy of Bank Indonesia will not be modified or that the Government will take additional action to stabilize, maintain or increase the Indonesian Rupiah's value, or that any of these actions, if taken, will be successful. Modification of the current floating exchange rate policy could result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or exchange controls, or the withholding of additional financial assistance by multinational lenders. This could result in a reduction of economic activity, an economic recession, loan defaults or declining subscriber usage of our services, and as a result, we may also face difficulties in funding our capital expenditures and in implementing our business strategy. Any of the foregoing consequences could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Downgrades of credit ratings of the Government or Indonesian companies could adversely affect our business

As of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, Indonesia's sovereign foreign currency long-term debt was rated "Baa2" with stable outlook by Moody's, "BBB" with negative outlook by Standard & Poor's and "BBB" with stable outlook by Fitch. Indonesia's short-term foreign currency debt is rated "A-2" by Standard & Poor's and "F2" by Fitch.

These ratings reflect an assessment of the Government’s overall financial capacity to pay its obligations and its ability or willingness to meet its financial commitments as they become due. We can give no assurance that Moody's, Standard & Poor's, Fitch or any other statistical rating organization will not change or downgrade the credit ratings of Indonesia or Indonesian companies. In particular, the credit ratings of Indonesia or Indonesian companies, have been and may be further downgraded due to the effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic. On April 17, 2020, Standard & Poor’s affirmed Indonesia’s foreign currency long-term debt rating of “BBB” but revised the outlook from stable to negative. Considering the rapidly changing implications of the spread of COVID-19, it is difficult to assess the full nature and extent of the impact that the outbreak will have on such credit ratings. Any such downgrade could have an adverse impact on liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets, the ability of the Government and Indonesian companies, including us, to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. Interest rates on our floating rate Rupiah-denominated debt would also likely increase. Such events could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and/or the market price of our securities.

Risks relating to Natural Disasters

Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and events beyond our control, which could adversely affect our business and operating results

Many parts of Indonesia, including areas where we operate, are prone to natural disasters such as floods, lightning strikes, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, fires, droughts, power outages and other events beyond our control. The Indonesian archipelago is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world as it is located in the convergence zone of three major lithospheric plates. It is subject to significant seismic activity that can lead to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis or tidal waves. Flash floods and more widespread flooding also occur regularly during the rainy season from November to April. Cities, especially Jakarta, are frequently subject to severe localized flooding which can result in major disruption and, occasionally, fatalities. Landslides regularly occur in rural areas during the wet season. From time to time, natural disasters have killed, affected or displaced large numbers of people and damaged our equipment. These events in the past have disrupted, and may in the future, disrupt our business activities, cause damage to equipment, and adversely affect our financial performance and profit.

44


For example, on September 2, 2009, an earthquake in West Java caused damage to our assets. On September 30, 2009, an earthquake in West Sumatra disrupted the provision of telecommunications services in several locations and caused severe damage to our assets. In June 2016, underwater volcanic activity caused disturbances to submarine fiber optic cable, causing disruption in services and loss of revenue. On August 5, 2018 a large earthquake hit Lombok and on September 28, 2018, a large earthquake triggered a tsunami which impacted Central Sulawesi, both of which caused operational disruptions and damage to our assets. In January 2020, landslides and floods triggered by torrential downpours in and around Jakarta, Bekasi and Bogor resulted in approximately 50 deaths and 400,000 displaced. Floodwater reached up to six meters in certain areas, making it the worst rainfall in over a decade. The extreme weather also submerged at least 169 neighborhoods. The landslides and floods caused damage to our civil mechanical and electrical equipment, production equipment, and buildings. This resulted in the congestion of data traffic when transferring data to our backup network and therefore, several hours of service disruption at various automatic telephone center (Sentral Telepon Otomat or "STO"). The estimated loss from the damages caused by the landslides and floods is Rp36.2 billion, out of which we had to bear approximately Rp2.0 billion after taking into account reimbursements obtained from insurance companies.

Given the geography of Indonesia, we are highly reliant on the use of submarine cables to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago. These submarine cables may be damaged by volcanic activity or friction with the ocean floor caused by earthquake tremors or otherwise, which may disrupt our ability to provide services to customers.

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, and we have insured certain of our assets to protect from any losses attributable to natural disasters or other phenomena beyond our control, there is no assurance that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover the potential losses, that the premium payable for these insurance policies upon renewal will not increase substantially in the future, or that natural disasters would not significantly disrupt our operations.

We cannot assure you that future natural disasters will not have a significant impact on us, or Indonesia or its economy. A significant earthquake, other geological disturbance or weather-related natural disaster in any of Indonesia's more populated cities and financial centers could severely disrupt the Indonesian economy and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be affected by uncertainty in the delineation of the respective prerogatives and responsibilities of, and the balance of power between local governments and the central government in Indonesia

Since 1999 regarding, various laws and regulations regarding fiscal decentralization, devolution of power to local governments and regional autonomy, among others, were implemented, amended, revoked or replaced. As at the date hereof, there is uncertainty in respect of the respective prerogatives and responsibilities, and the balance of power between the local and the central governments regarding several subject matters. Those include procedures for renewing licenses and approvals, and monitoring compliance with environmental regulations. In addition, local authorities have sought to levy additional taxes or obtain new contributions, from time to time. There can be no assurance that such uncertainty will dissipate or that our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will not be adversely affected by dual compliance obligations and further uncertainty as to legality to levy new taxes by certain authorities or the ability of such authorities to promulgate other regulations affecting our business.

Risks Related to our ADSs

The trading price of our ADSs may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to you

The trading price of our ADSs may fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell their ADSs at or above the price paid for the ADSs or ordinary shares, respectively. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk factors” section and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, these factors include:

variations in our revenue, earnings, cash flow and operating data;

45


regulatory or legal developments in Indonesia, jurisdictions where we carry out our operations or in the United States;

announcements of new investments, acquisitions or strategic partnerships by us or our competitors;

general economic, political, and market conditions and overall fluctuations in the financial markets in Indonesia, the United States, and other countries where we carry out our operations, including the global and regional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

sales volumes of our ADSs or ordinary shares, or sales of our ADSs or shares by our senior management, directors or our large shareholders, or the anticipation that such sales may occur in the future;

stock market price and volume fluctuations of comparable companies and, in particular, companies that operate in the telecommunications industry or with most of their operations in Indonesia;

investors’ general perception of us and our business;

announcements of new products, services and expansions by us or our competitors;

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

detrimental adverse publicity about us, our services or our industry;

additions or departures of key personnel; and

potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our ADSs or ordinary shares will trade.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about us or our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline

The trading market for our ADSs will be influenced by research reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our ADSs or ordinary shares, the market price for our ADSs would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our ADSs to decline.

The different characteristics of the capital markets in Indonesia and the U.S. may negatively affect the trading prices of our ADSs and shares

As a dual-listed company, we are subject to Indonesian and NYSE listing and regulatory requirements concurrently. The IDX and the NYSE have different trading hours, trading characteristics (including trading volume and liquidity), trading and listing rules, and investor bases (including different levels of retail and institutional participation). As a result of these differences, the trading prices of our ADSs and our shares may not be the same, even allowing for currency differences. Fluctuations in the price of our ADSs due to circumstances peculiar to the U.S. capital markets could materially and adversely affect the price of the shares, or vice versa. Certain events having significant negative impact specifically on the U.S. capital markets may result in a decline in the trading price of our shares notwithstanding that such event may not impact the trading prices of securities listed on the IDX generally or to the same extent, or vice versa.

46


Our financial results are reported to the OJK in conformity with IFAS, which differs in certain respects from IFRS, and we distribute dividends based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share determined in reliance on IFAS  

In accordance with the regulations of the OJK and the Indonesia Stock Exchange ("IDX"), we are required to report our financial results to the OJK in conformity with IFAS. We have provided the OJK with our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 on April 29, 2021. We furnished such financial results to the SEC on Form 6-K dated April 30, 2021, which contains our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and prepared in conformity with IFAS. IFAS differs in certain significant respects from IFRS and, as a result, there are differences between our financial results as reported under IFAS and IFRS, including profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share. We distribute dividends based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share determined in reliance on IFAS.

Based on IFAS financial statements, our profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company would be Rp18,663 billion in 2019 and Rp20,804 billion in 2020 and our net income per share would be Rp188.40 in 2019 and Rp210.01 in 2020. For 2019, dividends declared per share were Rp154.07 and dividends declared per ADS were Rp15,407. The dividend for 2020 will be decided at the 2021 AGMS, scheduled on May 28, 2021.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are permitted to, and we have relied and will rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs

We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE by virtue of being a foreign private issuer in the U.S. We are required to provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the corporate governance practices required to be followed by domestic U.S. companies listed on the NYSE. See "Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees" and “Item 16G. Corporate Governance.” The standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to: have a majority of the board of be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act), have a compensation committee or a nominating or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, have regularly scheduled executive sessions for non-management directors, or have executive sessions of solely independent directors each year.

We have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, holders of our ADSs may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are exempt from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements under the Exchange Act and the rules relating to selective disclosure of material non-public information under Regulation FD under the Exchange Act. In addition, our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit and recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are also not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, in addition to annual reports with audited financial statements, domestic U.S. companies are required to file with the SEC quarterly reports that include interim financial statements reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm and certified by the companies’ principal executive and financial officers. By contrast, as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to file such quarterly reports with the SEC or to provide quarterly certifications by our principal executive and financial officers. As a result, holders of our ADSs may be afforded less protection than they would under the Exchange Act rules applicable to domestic U.S. companies.

47


The voting rights of holders of our ADSs are limited by the terms of the Deposit Agreement

Holders of our ADSs may exercise their voting rights with respect to the ordinary shares underlying their ADSs only in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Upon receipt of voting instructions from them in the manner set forth in the Deposit Agreement, the depositary for our ADSs will endeavor to vote their underlying ordinary shares in accordance with these instructions. Under our Articles of Association, minimum notice periods apply for convening a general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. When such meetings are convened, holders of our ADSs may not receive sufficient notice of a shareholders’ meeting to permit them to allow them to exercise their voting rights with respect to any specific matter at the meeting. In addition, the Depositary may not be able to send voting instructions to holders of our ADSs or carry out their voting instructions in a timely manner. Furthermore, the Depositary will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote. If no voting instructions are received by the Depositary from an holder of our ADSs on or before the date specified by the Depositary, subject to certain exceptions, the Depositary shall deem that such holder has instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to the shares underlying such holder's ADSs. As a result, holders of our ADSs may not be able to exercise their rights to vote and they may lack recourse if the ordinary shares underlying their ADSs are not voted as they requested. 

Holders of our ADSs may be subject to limitations on transfer of their ADSs

ADSs are transferable on the books of the Depositary. However, the Depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the Depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the Depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason.

Holders of our ADSs may not receive distributions on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to them

The Depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay holders of our ADSs the cash dividends or other distributions it receives on our ordinary shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses, and subject to certain tax withholdings, as applicable. Holders of our ADSs will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of our ordinary shares that their ADSs represent. However, the Depositary is not responsible for making these payments or distributions if it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of ADSs if it consists of securities that require registration under the U.S. Securities Act but that are not properly registered or distributed pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. We have no obligation to take any action to permit the distribution of our ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders of our ADSs. This means that holders of our ADSs may not receive the distributions we make on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available. These restrictions may materially reduce the value of the ADSs.

Holders of our ADSs may experience dilution of their holdings due to their inability to participate in rights offerings

We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. Under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell these undistributed rights to third parties, and may allow the rights to lapse. We may be unable to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

48


The time required for the exchange between ADSs and shares might be longer than expected and investors might not be able to settle or effect any sale of their securities during this period

There is no direct trading or settlement between the NYSE and the IDX on which our ADSs and the shares are respectively traded. In addition, the time differences between Indonesia and New York and unforeseen market circumstances or other factors may delay the deposit of shares in exchange of ADSs or the withdrawal of shares underlying the ADSs. Investors will be prevented from settling or effecting the sale of their securities during such periods of delay. In addition, there is no assurance that any exchange of shares into ADSs (and vice versa) will be completed in accordance with the timeline investors may anticipate.

We are established in Indonesia and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process or enforce judgments, on us, our Commissioners, Directors or officers within the United States, or to enforce judgments of a foreign court against us or any of these persons in Indonesia

We are a state-owned limited liability company established in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws governing companies with limited liability, and all of our significant assets are located, and most of our current operations are conducted in Indonesia. In addition, all of our current Commissioners and Directors reside in Indonesia, are nationals of countries other than the United States and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process, or enforce judgments on us or such persons within the United States, or to enforce against us or such persons in the United States, judgments obtained in United States courts.

We have been advised by Hadiputranto, Hadinoto & Partners, our Indonesian legal advisor, that judgments of United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any State of the United States, are not enforceable in Indonesian courts, although such judgments could be admissible as non-conclusive evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim in an Indonesian court. They have also advised that there is doubt as to whether Indonesian courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Indonesian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against our Commissioners, Directors or officers in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia you may be unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Commissioners, Directors or officers as claimants would be required to pursue claims against us or such persons in Indonesian courts.

Telkom Indonesia Milestones

1856-1884

On October 23, 1856, the Dutch Colonial Government deployed the first electromagnetic telegraph service operation in Indonesia, which connected Jakarta (Batavia) and Bogor (Buitenzorg). We consider this event to be part of the beginning of Telkom's history and have thus adopted October 23 as the anniversary of our "founding."

In 1884, the Dutch Colonial Government established a private entity, "Post en Telegraafdienst" to provide postal and telegraph services.

1906-1965

In 1906, the Dutch Colonial Government established an agency named Jawatan Pos, Telegrap dan Telepon (Post, Telegraph en Telephone Dienst) to assume control over postal services and telecommunications in Indonesia. In 1961, its status was changed to newly-established state-owned company, Perusahaan Negara Pos dan Telekomunikasi ("PN Postel"). In 1965, the Government separated postal and telecommunications services by dividing PN Postel into Perusahaan Negara Pos dan Giro and Perusahaan Negara Telekomunikasi ("PN Telekomunikasi").

1974

PN Telekomunikasi became Perusahaan Umum Telekomunikasi Indonesia ("Perumtel"), which provided domestic and international telecommunications services, and subsequently spun-off PT Industri Telekomunikasi Indonesia, which manufactured telecommunications equipment, into an independent company.

1991

Perumtel became a state-owned limited liability company and rebranded to Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia under Government Regulation No.25 of 1991.

1995

On May 26, 1995, we and Indosat established Telkomsel.

We completed our initial public offering and our shares were listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange and the Surabaya Stock Exchange (which have since merged to become the IDX). Our shares were also listed on the NYSE and the LSE in the form of ADSs, and were publicly offered without listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

1999

We launched the Telkom-1 satellite.

2001

We and Indosat eliminated joint ownership and cross-ownership in certain companies as part of the restructuring of the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. We acquired Indosat's 35.0% shareholding in Telkomsel, increasing our shareholding to 77.7%. We divested our 22.5% shareholding in PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia, or Satelindo, and 37.7% shareholding in PT Lintasarta Aplikanusa. At the same time, we lost our exclusive rights as the sole operator of fixed line services in Indonesia.

52


2002

We divested a 12.72% shareholding in Telkomsel to Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd ("SingTel Mobile"), decreasing our shareholding in Telkomsel to 65.0%.

2004

We launched an international direct dialing service for fixed lines with the access code of 007.

2005

We launched the Telkom-2 satellite.

2009

We underwent a transformation from an information telecommunications company to become a Telecommunication, Information, Media and Edutainment ("TIME") company. Our new image was introduced to the public with a new corporate logo and the slogan of "the world in your hand."

2010

We completed the JaKaLaDeMa submarine fiber optic cable project in April 2010 which connected Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Denpasar and Mataram.

2011

We commenced the reformation of our telecommunications infrastructure through the completion of the Telkom Nusantara Super Highway project, which unites the Indonesian archipelago from Sumatra to Papua, as well as the True Broadband Access project to provide internet access with a capacity of 20 Mbps to 100 Mbps to customers throughout Indonesia.

2012

We increased broadband penetration through the development of Indonesia Wi-Fi as part of our "Indonesia Digital Network" (IDN) program. We also reconfigured our business portfolio from TIME to TIMES to increase our ability to create business value.

2014

We became the first operator in Indonesia to commercially launch 4G/LTE services in December 2014.

2015

We launched IndiHome, which bundles all-in-one packages services consisting primarily of broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services.

2016

We completed the construction of our new headquarters in Jakarta which we designed as a "smart office" with open office layout and smart building features in order to provide an inspirational working environment for our employees.

In December 2016, we completed the construction of the submarine cable systems Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE-5).

53


2017

The Telkom 3S satellite was launched in February 2017 and fully commenced operations on schedule, starting in April 2017.

In August 2017, we completed the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine fiber cable connecting Manado, Indonesia to California, United States. The SEA-US cable is built, owned, and operated by a consortium of seven companies.

In October 2017, Telkomsel secured an additional 30 MHz spectrum at 2.3 GHz frequency, after winning the auction held by MoCI.

2018

We launched the Telkom Merah Putih satellite, which began providing coverage for all of Indonesia, Southeast Asia and South Asia in August 2018.

We inaugurated The Telkom Hub, a hub for developing digital entrepreneurs, digital infrastructure and solutions, and fostering a culture of digital. This hub also serves as a social and technology education center that provides digital customer care services. It is a center of excellence and it intended to facilitate the Government's digital initiatives such as "Making Indonesia 4.0," "2020 Go Digital Vision," and "One Data Indonesia."

In December 2018, we completed the construction of the Indonesia Global Gateway (IGG) submarine cable, which connects two major submarine cable systems: the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) and the Southeast Asia- United States (SEA-US) Submarine Cable Systems.

The number of IndiHome subscribers reached 5.1 million.

2019

We sold 654,804 shares, representing 67.0%, of PT Jalin Pembayaran Nusantara ("Jalin") to PT Danareksa (Persero), a state-owned enterprise, for the value of Rp394,569,700,000.00. As at the date hereof, we hold 33.0% interest in Jalin.

On February 19, 2019, we acquired (through Mitratel) 95.0% of the share capital in PT Persada Sokka Tama, a company engaged in the telecommunications tower business with 1,017 towers located throughout Indonesia. In December 2019, we completed the acquisition of 2,100 telecommunications towers from PT Indosat Tbk in Indonesia.

We reconfigured our business portfolio from TIMES to a five-segment portfolio (Mobile, Consumer, Enterprise, Wholesale, International Business, and Others) to reflect our customer-centric mindset and enhance and create value to our customers.

Telkomsel added 23,162 BTS towers to its BTS network, representing a 12.25% increase compared to 2018.

The number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 1.9 million, or 37.2%, from 5.1 million subscribers in 2018 to 7.0 million subscribers.

In November 2019, Telkom was awarded the "2019 Indonesia IoT Services Provider of the Year" by Frost and Sullivan at the Asia Pacific Best Practice Awards.

54


2020

We actively took part into several initiatives in response to the COVID-19 outbreak at the level of our company, our communities and nationally. In particular, we further increased our network reliability and availability, and accessibility to our services at affordable prices as more people were asked to work from home or study from home. We also participated in the development of tracking applications, including for purposes of the Indonesian vaccination campaign.

We started building a Telkom HyperScale Data Center in July 2020. This mega-capacity data center of tier 3 and 4 class will complement 26 data centers which are already operational (five international data centers, 18 neuCentrIX and three tier 3 and 4 data centers). Telkom HyperScale Data Center is intended to support Indonesia's digital transformation by enabling global players and corporations from various sectors such as financial institutions, the Government and its agencies, manufacturers, content providers, global cloud providers to further develop access to their services and continue their digitalization efforts.

In October 2020, Telkomsel entered into a conditional sales and purchase agreement for the sale of 6,050 telecommunication towers to Mitratel. The transfer of these telecommunication towers is expected to strengthen Mitratel’s core business and increase its value, as well as help achieve its long-term plans.

In November 2020, Telkomsel entered into a new collaboration with, and made a USD150 million investment in PT Aplikasi Karya Anak Bangsa (“Gojek”).

Telkomsel added 18,937 BTS towers to its BTS network, representing a 8.9% increase compared to 2019.

The number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 1.0 million, or 14.5%, from 7.0 million subscribers in 2019 to 8.0 million subscribers.

B.                         BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Strategy

As the largest telecommunications company in Indonesia, we intend to become the preferred digital telecommunications company in Indonesia that contributes to the prosperity and competitiveness of Indonesia while creating and delivering value to our stakeholders. We intend to rapidly build sustainable digital infrastructure and smart platforms that will be competitively priced, affordable and accessible to a wide range of customers. We also nurture best-in-class digital talents who will contribute to the development of Indonesia's digital capabilities and increase the penetration of digital technologies and services, as well as improve our customers' experience through the development of a comprehensive digital ecosystem.

We seek to understand and anticipate customers' needs to deliver the best customer experience and exceed our customers' expectations by facilitating customers' interactions with us, including through digital interfaces (for the purchase of products and service, making payments, submitting requests for service upgrades or submitting complaints for instance). Such interactions are supported by digitalized processes. We also maximize our engagement with customers through our customer relationship management through our CFUs. We aim to become more agile as an organization and foster a digital culture, for instance by eliminating manual processes, encouraging a start-up model and work methods, optimizing business processes to facilitate faster development of products and services in accordance with customers' needs and expectations, shorten time-to-market, allocate resources more efficiently, and encourage and nurture digital talents sourced internally or externally. This enables us to maintain or improve our cost competitiveness while focusing on operational excellence to deliver quality products and services to our customers.

55


We have been strengthening our digital capabilities and intend to further expand our leadership in connectivity-driven business and provide end-to-end digital experience to our customers. We have been enhancing our digital connectivity offering to businesses, invested in our digital platform, and diversified our digital service offering as we pursue maximizing value to our customers and stakeholders through cash flow optimization, value creation and the enhancement of synergies. To that end, we have been expanding the backbone network infrastructure and broadband network access throughout Indonesia and expanded and improved our offering of digital services. For instance, in the mobile segment, we have developed digital advertising, mobile banking and financial services and the IoT, in addition to digital lifestyle services that focus on providing cellular technology-based entertainment experiences such as music, video streaming, games, and other value-added mobile service platforms. In the Enterprise segment, we provide end-to-end digital solutions for corporate customers, small and medium business and government institutions that require digital connectivity, IT services, data center and cloud, business process outsourcing and other support services. In the Consumer segment, we offer more high-speed package options, TV/Video channels, games, and improved the monetization of digital inventory for digital advertising. In the Wholesale and International Business segment, we provide digital connectivity including data centers for service providers and digital players, both domestically and globally.

We also engage in inorganic growth to enhance our digital capabilities and strengthen our digital services ecosystem, through acquisitions and collaborations or partnerships with other parties who have superior digital capabilities. For instance, in 2019 and 2021, our subsidiary Mitratel acquired equity interests in PT Persada Sokka Tama (resulting in PT Persada Sokka Tama becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitratel in the first quarter of 2021) and acquired 2,100 telecommunications towers from PT Indosat Tbk in Indonesia; in October 2020, Mitratel entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Telkomsel for the acquisition of 6,050 telecommunications towers, 1,911 of which were transferred to Mitratel in October 2020 with the remaining balance similarly transferred in February 2021. With those acquisitions, we seek to continue to consolidate and strengthen our telecommunications tower network throughout Indonesia. Furthermore, we continue to strengthen our digital ecosystem: in 2020, we have entered into a strategic partnership with Gojek and our subsidiary Telkomsel invested US$150 million in the form of a subscription to convertible bonds in this innovative and well-recognized Indonesian technology company. We expect this strategic partnership will allow us to provide users and the community with better services and solutions through the development of an inclusive and sustainable digital ecosystem. While we expand and diversify our businesses, we intend to maintain our high corporate governance standards and enhance our risk management and compliance functions.

In pursuing our objective to create corporate value, we implement principles of good governance and guidelines and initiatives to achieve sustainable growth. There are five main components in our corporate and social responsibility initiatives that we implement to achieve such sustainable growth:

technology and digitalization: we select and use technology that suits a sustainable business, both considering the social and environmental impacts of such technology and the use of resources it requires. We have implemented and keep developing digitalized processes internally to increase efficiency and optimize the use of resources;

data and information: we have a strong commitment to data privacy and security, in particular in connection with our customers' information. Data security and privacy are increasingly the focus of laws and regulations and we have a responsibility to prevent the misappropriation and misuse of confidential data and information and the illegal use of our network and equipment to obtain such information and data;

customer engagement: we regularly engage with our customers to maintain and increase their satisfaction and loyalty and better understand and anticipate their needs and concerns, including their sustainability values and aspirations;

56


our people and culture: we believe in our people and invest in the development of a digitally-savvy workforce and seek to instill a culture that values professionalism and the acquisition of new skills. We respect diversity in the workplace and believe in giving equal opportunities to people of different backgrounds and gender; and

sustainable economy: we believe we are well placed to directly and indirectly promote sustainability by supporting and enabling the development of digitalization and promoting corporate practices which are respectful of the environment.

Business Portfolios

Our business portfolios are organized through business lines that can be categorized into three digital domains: digital connectivity, digital platform and digital service, along with our legacy services comprising voice and SMS services. Our product portfolios are operated under the following five key segments to create, enhance and deliver value to our customers:

mobile segment comprises mobile broadband services, mobile digital services that include financial services, video on demand (VOD), music, gaming, IoT solutions, big data analytics, digital ads, and mobile legacy services such as mobile voice and SMS;

consumer segment comprises fixed voice services, fixed broadband services, IPTV, and related consumer digital services;

enterprise segment mainly comprises ICT and digital platform that covers enterprise-grade connectivity services, including satellite, IT services, data center and cloud, business process outsourcing, and other adjacent services;

wholesale and international business segment comprises wholesale telecommunications carrier services, international business, tower business, and infrastructure and network management services; and

other segment comprises digital services offerings such as digital platform, digital content, and e-commerce for B2B to support other segments, and property management as our effort to leverage Telkom's property assets across Indonesia.

Historically, we generated the largest share of our revenue from services relating to digital connectivity. Our business has not experienced significant seasonality.

The following is a brief overview of our product portfolios.

1. Mobile Segment

Our mobile segment portfolio comprises mobile voice, SMS, mobile data services, and mobile digital services. We provide mobile and cellular communications services with GSM, 3G and 4G/LTE technology through our subsidiary, Telkomsel. Mobile services (including mobile data services) remained the largest contributor to our consolidated revenues in 2020.

Our prepaid services, used by 96.2% of our cellular subscribers as of December 31, 2020, are marketed under the brands simPATI, Kartu As, Loop and by.U, our postpaid mobile services, used by 3.8% of our cellular subscribers as of December 31, 2020, are marketed under the brand kartuHalo.

57


Our total cellular subscriber base decreased by 0.9% or 1.6 million subscribers, from 171.1 million subscribers (comprising 164.7 million prepaid subscribers and 6.4 million postpaid subscribers) as of December 31, 2019, to 169.5 million subscribers (comprising 163.0 million prepaid subscribers and 6.5 million postpaid subscribers), as of December 31, 2020. The decrease in our total cellular subscriber base was mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had a negative impact on the overall Indonesian economy and individuals' purchasing power. In addition, we were and are still subject to intense competition in our industry.

Our mobile broadband services for all of our customers are supported by 4G/LTE/HSDPA/3G/EDGE/GPRS technology. As of December 31, 2020, we had 115.9 million Telkomsel data users, compared to 110.3 million data users as of December 31, 2019, an increase of 5.2%, or 5.7 million data users. This increase was primarily due to the launch of our new Smart program in 2020 in an effort to customers' demand, market dynamics and affordability concerns. We took initiatives to increase our competitiveness and retain existing customers or acquire new customers with better-priced products with added value to customers and increased network capacity. In addition, we continue to explore opportunities for digitalization to meet customers' needs, increase connectivity and identify new sources of growth. We have expanded our product portfolio to offer services related to health-tech, edu-tech, gaming, video contents, fintech and services to support the B2B segment.

In addition to our digital connectivity business, we established several digital service offerings within our mobile segment with a specific focus on: financial services, video on demand, music, gaming, advertising and IoT. Our mobile segment comprises a financial payment platform, T-Cash, that pioneered digital payment when it started in 2007. In 2019, T-Cash became LinkAja under PT Fintek Karya Nusantara ("Finarya"). As at the date hereof, Telkomsel owns a 25% equity interest in Finarya. We also offer video content on demand under MAXstream, a one-stop video portal that aggregates Over The Top video applications, linear channels, Video On Demand and other original contents from Disney+, Netflix and other Over The Top video service providers through a bundling of broadband data packages. We provide music and gaming services that offer a mobile entertainment experience by targeting various consumer segments and leveraging Telkomsel's trusted billing system. We have applications for music (e.g., Langit Musik and an application for ring back tones) and Telkomsel Dunia Games, which provides a complete gaming ecosystem combining media contents, distribution, payment facilities, e-sport and game publishing. We launched online games and started developing gaming communities to expand our customer experience in that area in 2019.

In November 2020, Telkomsel and Gojek entered into an ambitious strategic partnership. We believe this partnership with a premier and innovative technology company such as Gojek will be transformative for Telkomsel and help Telkomsel achieve its goal to become a truly digital telecommunications company. Gojek has already developed a complete and well-recognized digital ecosystem for users, drivers and merchants. Our partnership with Gojek is multi-faceted. We intend to jointly promote products and services such as SIM card promotions and advertising packages, and carry out co-branding activities to better service our respective customers and expand our addressable markets. For instance, we have offered data packages and discounts designed for Gojek drivers. We also collaborate with Gojek to better understand consumption habits and the behaviors of users and customers to improve our products and solutions offerings. We expect Telkomsel will further diversify its product offering and increase data revenue, expand its total addressable market, achieve higher data penetration, reduce customer churn and consolidate its leadership position thanks to the opportunities this partnership will create.

The Job Creation Law, passed in 2020, aims, among other things, to support the acceleration of digitalization and accessibility of broadband services in Indonesia through various means, including preventing inefficiencies through the optimization of the frequency spectrum and limiting passive infrastructure with certain network sharing obligations imposed on non-telecommunications companies (under certain conditions), and ensuring a sustainable competitive environment through price regulation. As set out in GR No.46/2021, November 2, 2022, is the deadline for the switch from analog to digital television broadcasting as analog television broadcasting will have to cease by then. Such analog switch off (ASO) will free up 112MHz in the 700MHz frequency band that can be used for mobile data.

58


2. Consumer Segment

Our consumer segment portfolio comprises fixed voice, fixed broadband services, and IPTV including consumer digital services. It is marketed under the retail brand "IndiHome," a product that allows customers to choose one or more of such services.

In 2020, we continued to actively promote our "more for less" program, which aims to provide customers with more relevant benefits at a competitive price through bundling services. These services consisted of broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services. We offered promotions for IndiHome products during festive campaigns and offered year-end and seasonal packages at a promotional price. Such offers were intended to increase revenue from upselling and cross-selling our products and services. Considering challenges faced by our customers and the public during the COVID-19 outbreak, we have also launched specifically-designed packages to assist people who had or still have to study or learn from home or involved in distance learning activities ("Paket Learning From Home" and "Paket Guru dan Dosen" packages). We have also provided special packages for places of worship to support their online activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, we continue to develop products and technologies to meet our customers' aspirations and needs. In 2020, we launched IndiHome Gamer 2.0 with an improved speed ratio. We also partnered with game publishers to launch new games as add-on benefits, enhance our cloud storage services with new features, and expand our customers' ability to upgrade the speed of their internet.

Our IPTV service, IndiHome TV, is bundled within our IndiHome service offering, delivered via Android TV box devices connected with the Google Ecosystem. Our IPTV services include linear TV channels, TV-on-demand, video-on-demand (VOD), and are extended to add OTT services with the UseeTV Go application and UseeTV.com website for enjoying multi-screening and access to TV anywhere. We continue to enrich the variety of our IndiHome TV channels with new high-definition channels such as HGTV, CinemaWorld, Discovery, Disney Junior, Animax, and our very own news and lifestyle channel SEA Today, one of our 7 in-house channels. IndiHome TV Channel delivers 242 channels (156 SD Channels, 81 HD Channels and 5 Dolby Channels).

We also offer OTT contents from partners such as iflix, Catchplay+, Vidio and Mola TV to enhance our customers' experience. In addition, we released new VOD, and GameQoo cloud gaming services for users of IndiBox, our OTT services based on Android TV Box devices that we launched in 2019 and allow customers to access streaming TV, music, games, various applications and VOD. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 8 million fixed broadband IndiHome customers and we estimate this represented approximately 82.3% of the market share of fixed broadband customers in Indonesia.

We also offer wifi.id services to our IndiHome customers, an add-on service which allows such customers to enjoy unlimited internet access at all wifi.id access points in Indonesia. Wifi.id stands for Indonesia Wi-Fi, our wireless public internet network that provides user facilities to enjoy high-speed internet services and various other multimedia services.

3. Enterprise Segment

Our enterprise segment comprises mainly ICT and platform services that cover enterprise-grade connectivity services (including satellite services), data center and cloud, IT services, business process outsourcing, and other ancillary services.

59


For enterprise connectivity, we offer fixed broadband, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and data communication services, including a SD-WAN ecosystem enabling higher performance of WANs, leased channels such as metro Ethernet, VPN-IP, high-capacity data network solutions giving point-to-point connection with high-capacity bandwidth, and fixed voice services, among others. We also provide satellite services as part of enterprise connectivity offering and continue to strengthen our presence in this sector through our providing of transponder capacity leasing, satellite secondary product lines and other satellite support solutions. Our satellite operations consist primarily of leasing satellite transponder capacity to broadcasters and operators of VSAT, cellular services, and ISPs, as well as providing earth station satellite up-link and down-link services for domestic and international users.

To address the significant increase in demand, we continue to enhance our data center facilities and cloud services. Our offering includes the providing of enterprise data center, collocation, hosting, disaster recovery centers, managed operation, data center consulting, and various cloud services such as private cloud, hybrid cloud and public cloud. In December 2020, we launched Flou cloud services which provide a hybrid cloud (a mix of private and public cloud functions) targeting SME customers with affordable tier-based pricing packages. In June 2020, we launched Flou Cloud, cloud services designed to support their transition towards digitalization of Indonesian startups, small and medium businesses, companies and government agencies. Cloud services offered include cloud computing services, data storage and management, network services, data protection and access to databases.

We provide system integration and IT service management, together with related business process management, business process as-a-service and customer relationship management services. We aspire to digitalize our service offering further, therefore, we are relentlessly focusing on strengthening our IT capabilities to reinforce our offerings going forward.

We also provide smart enabler platform services to promote innovation with next-generation technology solution, integrated industry ecosystems and to foster changes in consumer behavior in Indonesia. Our adjacent services comprise diverse services relating to software, devices and hardware (including IT hardware) sales and certain related services such as IT support services. Moreover, we offer financial services which consist of bill payment aggregators, electronic payment platform services, online payment solutions, payment switching services. We also offer digital advertising solutions such as media placement services and creative solutions, integrated digital media services such as digital out-of-home, mobile advertising, online advertising, and digital printing services. Big data and data analytics in the form of platform services that generate insights for customers to analyze consumer behavior and create more efficient marketing campaigns are also included in our service portfolio. We also provide smart enablers platform services and assist with customer relationship management, among other things: IoT services which offer IoT solutions for buildings, IoT applications for smart energy monitoring and management, fleet management, unified communication and collaboration services, IT security services, and other adjacent services. Lastly, our e-Health solutions provide a simplified procedure and standardized healthcare claim process between healthcare providers, patients, and insurance providers that leverages our digital and IT service capabilities.

A number of our customers whose business and operations have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have requested payment extensions for payments relating to projects completed in 2020, which we have been generally agreeable to. Such deferred payments, however, did not have a significant impact on our cash flows and results of operations in 2020.

4. Wholesale and International Segment

Our wholesale and international business segment includes our wholesale telecommunications carrier services business, tower business, infrastructure services business, and international business.

60


The telecommunications carrier services we offer comprise primarily network services, data and internet, as well as interconnection services, value added services, voice-hubbing, data centers, platforms, and solutions. We earn revenue from interconnection services from other telecommunications operators which utilize our network and infrastructure in Indonesia, both for calls that terminate at or transit via our network. Similarly, we also pay interconnection fees to other telecommunications operators when we use their networks to connect a call from our customers. Interconnection services that we provide to other telecommunications operators comprise domestic and international interconnection services. With regards to our tower business, we lease out space to other operators to place their telecommunications equipment on these towers, for which we receive a fee. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 35,822 towers, comprising approximately 18,473 towers owned by Mitratel, approximately 1,349 towers owned by Telkom (PAK), and approximately 16,000 towers owned by Telkomsel. We aim to consistently expand our tower business, as we believe this is a strategic business in the telecommunications industry and intend to increase our tower rental revenues.

We also seek to improve our operation and maintenance efficiency by digitizing our internal business processes. In March 2019, through Mitratel, we acquired 95.0% of the share capital in PT Persada Sokka Tama, a company engaged in the telecommunications tower business with 1,017 towers located throughout Indonesia. We have pursued this acquisition to strengthen Mitratel's position in the Indonesian telecommunications tower industry. In December 2019, Mitratel completed the acquisition of 2,100 telecommunications towers for Rp4,443.9 billion from PT Indosat Tbk, a telecommunications operator company in Indonesia. This acquisition will strengthen Mitratel's business and is in line with Mitratel's long term strategy. In October 2020, Mitratel entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 6,050 towers from Telkomsel, 1,911 of which were transferred to Mitratel in October 2020 and 4,139 of which were transferred in February 2021. In February 2021, Mitratel acquired a 5% equity interest in PT Persada Sokka Tama (which therefore became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mitratel as a result of such transaction).

We provide managed infrastructure and network services by performing network construction and maintenance including laying and maintaining submarine cable, and energy solutions for telecommunications infrastructure ecosystems. We accomplish this through leveraging existing business in our portfolio and developing in-house capabilities and innovative solutions. As part of our infrastructure portfolio, we have developed energy management solutions. As such, we completed the delivery and installation of diesel power plants in the Kalimantan and Sulawesi regions in 2018; after completion of this project, we were engaged by a State-Owned Enterprise to manage the maintenance of the diesel engines we had delivered and installed in Kalimantan and other eastern regions of Indonesia up to 2021. The construction of the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine fiber cable was completed in 2018 connecting Manado, Indonesia to California and the IGG submarine fiber cable, which has enhanced connectivity among major cities in Indonesia while directly connecting Indonesia to South East Asia, the Middle East, Western Europe and the United States. We expect further deployment of submarine-fiber cables in the future.

Telecommunications tower providers are also transitioning towards more digitalization, for instance by offering digital services such as fiber optic services. The increase in data usage and high bandwidth applications makes it necessary to bring computers and data storage close to customers and setting up edge computing on tower sites by deploying micro data centers close to the network edge may provide business opportunities to telecommunications tower providers. Demand for and reliance on edge computing technology is also expected to increase with the emergence and development of high throughput and low latency applications such as high-speed video services, augmented reality and virtual reality applications, autonomous driving and other communication applications. We expect the future deployment of 5G technology will also provide growth opportunities to our wholesale segment. The deployment of 5G technology in Indonesia is subject to various factors and conditions but we intend to pioneer such deployment in a cost-efficient and phased approach to offer 5G wholesale services in Indonesia.

In addition, in 2020, we noticed an increase in demand for our A2P SMS services in response to changes in consumption habits caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and measures implemented by the Government and private sector players in response to the outbreak. During the pandemic, large-scale social restrictions (Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar ("PSBB")) such as restrictions on travel and social activities, health and safety measures implemented by companies and also customers' personal preferences caused an increase in customers' digital activities from home, such as work-from-home or study-from-home. Most of such activities conducted virtually from home reflected a change in lifestyle that led to increased consumption of mobile applications (games, social media, online shopping, access to online services, e-commerce platforms, use of digital video and music platforms, for instance). The use of such applications, which often require notifications and authentication of users, resulted in increased use of our A2P SMS services.

In 2020, we have consolidated and expanded our data center capabilities, offering cloud services and marketplace services. Telin initiated the deployment of its NeuCentrIX data center services, with completed data center capacity expansions in Indonesia, at new locations or existing locations through retrofitting of certain of our datacenters. Telin plans to continue the deployment of our new NeuCentrIX data center capacities. Telin also developed its NeuAPIX cloud-based CPaaS services to provide small, medium and large companies and business owners with omni-channel communication features (bots and live chats, real-time voice capabilities, SMS, emails, video calls and messaging services such as Line or Facebook messenger). PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Internasional ("Telin") also launched NeuTrafiX, a web-based public exchange platform for connecting buyers and sellers easily and transparently for wholesale voice, SMS and virtual numbers trading.

We also have limited operations and/or interests in a number of jurisdictions outside Indonesia in telecommunications and data related areas. Our subsidiary, Telin, manages our international operations in the following jurisdictions:

Singapore, through Telekomunikasi Indonesia International Pte. Ltd. ("Telin Singapore"), where we operate as an end-to-end information and communication technology provider, providing cloud and connectivity, wholesale voice services and data center and managed services;

Hong Kong, through Telekomunikasi Indonesia International Ltd. ("Telin Hong Kong"), where we provide wholesale voice services, wholesale data services, satellite transponder services, retail mobile services (MVNO), and where we also operate a GraPARI center and a data center;

Myanmar, through a branch office, where we provide IP transit services and dedicated internet access; and

62


New Zealand, through Contact Centres New Zealand Limited ("OneContact"), where we provide business process outsourcing services.

We regularly assess the overseas operations, their profitability, prospects and strategic positioning in order to optimize our portfolio structure. We may make further investments or divest existing investments from time to time based on such assessments. In Indonesia, we expect further consolidation in the telecommunications tower business.

As of the date hereof, the COVID-19 outbreak did not have any material impact on the number of our wholesale customers. A number of our customers' projects have been postponed in 2020 but nonetheless started before the end of 2020 and such delays did not have any significant impact on our business and results of operations for 2020.

5. Other segments

Digital Services

Our digital services portfolio primarily comprises media and edutainment services targeted to digital consumers. Our diverse digital portfolio is clustered into a smart platform and gives access to digital contents and e-commerce. We also manage a venture capital fund through our subsidiary, PT Metra Digital Investama (also known as MDI Ventures) to invest in digital startups.

Our smart platform business line consists of digital advertising, intelligent applications, big data, IoT, and financial services. Our financial services offering focuses on creating a digital financial ecosystem by offering digital payment solutions. For example, LinkAja (formerly known as T-CASH) is an electronic money service provided by Telkomsel, that provides a digital solution that enables Telkomsel consumers to perform banking activities in a safe, easy and simple manner. With LinkAja, activities such as paying bills, transferring funds, and making online and offline retail payments can be done easily on our consumers' smartphones and/or feature phones. In January 2018, we acquired a 30% equity interest in Cellum, a financial technology company which provides a digital wallet platform to strengthen our financial technology capability. On February 22, 2019, T-CASH changed its brand name to LinkAja after Telkomsel entered into a non-cash share subscription for shares in Finarya. The comprehensive financial services offered by LinkAja are expected to further accelerate financial inclusion and foster the development of a cashless society as envisioned by the Government in its Non-Cash National Movement Program. As at the date hereof, Telkomsel owns a 25% equity interest in Finarya. Our investment and strategic partnership with Gojek will also allow us to expand our digital ecosystem, benefit from co-branding and joint promotional activities and bring us closer to customers of digital services.

Our big data and smart platform is a business we carry out by acting as a platform enabler providing common horizontal solution components that can be used across industries and market segments. We provide an IoT platform, Antares, for the enterprise segment that can be used in multiple environments and industries such as for smart connected airports or smart manufacturing. Developers can also use the platform to create and test IoT products. We also offer our enterprise customers big data solutions, analytics and deep insight tools through our big data platform, BigBox, to meet their operational and business needs for decision-making, governance, strategy, and even for assessing their prospects.

Our digital advertising services cover digital advertising and mobile banking solutions. Our digital advertising business provides digital advertising media solutions for marketers. Our mobile banking solution business provides mobile functions for the banking industry, such as SMS and user menu browser services. We also operate an ad exchange platform that brings publishers, advertisers, and agencies together to be able to carry out digital advertising activities effectively and efficiently by linking buyers to sellers in one advertisement marketplace. We also deliver services such as digital advertising agency, integrated digital media, and big data analytics.

63


Our digital content portfolio comprises music and gaming. We manage our digital content portfolio across the Group and also manage the relevant value chains which mainly consists of sourcing content, providing the content platform, dealing with payments and marketing. Our digital content portfolio focuses on providing consumers with a mobile entertainment experience. It targets different consumer segments and leverages Telkomsel's trusted billing system to facilitate transactions. It offers applications for music (e.g., Langit Musik and an application for ring back tones) and GameMax, which combines game content data for several games and game vouchers. We launched online games and started developing gaming communities to expand our customer experience in that area in 2019 and we further developed this type of offering in 2020 with the publication of new games and a team specifically dedicated to developing this business. Until September 2020, our e-Commerce business operated under the brand of BLANJA.com, an online marketplace that facilitates consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer sales. In September 2020, we officially ceased all transactions on this platform as it had not achieved results that allowed it to successfully compete with marketplaces such as Tokopedia, Shopee, and Bukalapak which had entered the market earlier. In the future, we will focus on B2B e-commerce opportunities through Pasar Digital (PaDi) UMKM to expand our business and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) ecosystem in accordance with our digitization program. Consumers can sell and buy products through their TV by accessing our IndiHome Store and Alfamidi @ IndiHome, which is a partnership between the Alfa retail store and IndiHome. We also introduced a B2B marketplace called Xooply in 2018 which provides our e-commerce business with growth opportunities. In 2020, we focused our B2B marketplace on supporting transactions between SOEs and MSME Indonesian suppliers and increasing the number of merchants and customers that use Xooply as we seek to contribute to the resilience of local supply chains during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Property Management

Consistent with our Company's strategy to accelerate the creation of a digital ecosystem, we prioritize increasing asset utilization while leveraging on our sizeable property asset portfolio in areas of lower data usage through external partnerships and collaborations, in particular through our "go digital Telkom" program that focuses on expanding digital capacity and our network of datacenters. We also continue delivering efficient space allocation for our legacy network equipment and enjoyable office experience for our employees. We execute this leveraging process through our subsidiary, PT Graha Sarana Duta ("Telkom Property"), and offer services such as property development (planning, development and construction of property area), property leasing (property rent and leasing), property facilities (business line engaged in retail and leasing, transportation management system) and property management (building management, mall, apartment and security services). These services contribute to the increase of our property asset utilization and diversification of our digital ecosystem.

In 2020 we focused on the conversion of existing buildings or available space into data centers to support an acceleration in the pace of digitalization of our customers, in particular for our customers who offer ICT services and solutions, in particular in areas of high traffic. We also successfully developed several commercial projects such as retail minimart outlets throughout Indonesia and the Telkom Landmark Tower Surabaya Office Building Complex in East Java through our targeted retail and strategic partnership projects. We also repurposed and refurbished our regional sales building in Surabaya for use as a campus with expanded educational facilities, which helped us maintain this building's utilization rate and partially recover fixed costs relating to this asset. We also launched a capsule hotel with one of our partners in Semarang, Central Java.

Despite a challenging environment due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue looking for opportunities to increase revenue by leveraging our property portfolio, in particular through revenue collected from third-party lessees. In the short term, several food and beverage (F&B) retail openings by third-party lessees have already been planned. We will also ramp up our collaboration with educational institutions by providing idle land or buildings to be converted into campuses and leased to universities and schools. Our strategy also includes harnessing the captive market of SOEs and other government institutions to facilitate their opening of branches or sales offices throughout Indonesia.

64


In addition to leveraging our idle properties through partnerships as described above, we incorporate our digital competence and product solutions into our offerings. For example, we provide network connectivity or internet access to our tenants or their customers as additional amenities. These digital features contribute to the increased value of our asset offerings and help to diversify our digital ecosystem. We also create partnerships with digital workplace enterprises through a co-working space business initiative. Aside from generating income from our property business, our property management business also serves internal customers by providing efficient space allocation for our network equipment and an enjoyable work environment for our employees and partners, which fall under our "group synergy projects." Such property assets come in the form of buildings that function as our network nodes, sales points, customer service centers, headquarter or branch offices, other businesses, land banks, and landed residential properties. Our goals for these projects are to achieve economies of scale and cost efficiency.

Network Infrastructure and Development

In line with our vision and mission, we classify our network infrastructure into two categories, namely: (i) our national network infrastructure, to support our Indonesia Digital Network program, which we discuss in greater detail below and (ii) our international network infrastructure, to support our international expansion program.

National Network

We believe infrastructure development and the provision of connectivity are crucial aspects in our vision to become the "King of Digital." We continue to pursue the development of our network infrastructure to offer more efficient and cost-competitive services, in line with the Government's Indonesia Broadband Plan which lays out the Government's aspirations to accelerate and expand broadband penetration in Indonesia. The COVID-19 outbreak has also increased focus on the need to accelerate digitization in Indonesia and the deployment of 5G technology. In addition, we aim to continue to develop and improve our network infrastructure with a view to developing a high-quality, efficient and competitive infrastructure in terms of costs for delivery of services.

As a result, we plan to continue to actualize digitization in Indonesia through our Indonesia Digital Network program which comprises three components, namely id-Convergence ("id-Con"), id-Ring and id-Access, described below:

id-Con: represents our aim to realize the convergence of various elements of our network infrastructure into an integrated multi-service and multi-device Next Generation Network. id-Con is a strategic initiative that focuses on providing a platform for the design, development and delivery of the services and solutions we offer. In order to develop such platform and ensure the reliability and scalability of the services and solutions we offer, we intend to continue utilizing our data center facilities and our cloud management platform. In addition, we are focused on securing the integrity of our platforms. We aim to continue designing and developing industry-specific smart enabler platforms for certain industries in Indonesia, such as the transportation, healthcare and public sectors.

id-Ring: represents our aim to develop a resilient nationwide fiber optic backbone and establishing our domestic network infrastructure as a hub for international broadband traffic. In order to implement this strategy, we are developing the IGG cable system, which we completed in December 2018. It will leverage Indonesia's strategic geographic location and provide an alternative direct broadband connection between Europe, Asia and America. In addition, we have developed a nationwide infrastructure network with a fiber optic backbone, which covers 458 cities in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020. In 2020, we continued to increase the number of our access points and points of presence. We also continued to re-engineer and re-inforce the network for future service readiness programs that require huge capacity, ultra-low latency and massive connectivity by more efficient total cost development. Furthermore, our Merah Putih Satellite was launched in August 2018 and began commercial operations in September 2018. This satellite has a capacity of 60 TPE, which consists of 48 C-Band transponders and 12 extended C-Band transponders and will cover the Southeast Asia and South Asia regions. Operating our own satellites reduces our dependency on foreign satellite operators for capacity. It also provides us with better ICT to service remote areas within Indonesia.

65


id-Access: represents our strategy to increase nationwide fixed and mobile broadband access penetration. We are focused on expanding our fiber optic access network and modernizing our current access network infrastructure in order to realize cost efficiencies and deliver new services. Under this program, we intend to continue replacing copper cable network with fiber optic cables and terminating legacy node service networks. We intend to continue laying out fiber optic cables which are able to serve multi-segment customers, including home and enterprise customers as well as the BTS network of Telkomsel and the network infrastructure of other operators. We believe that this may provide us with opportunities to expand our sources of revenue. In addition, we intend to continue improving the cross-operability of our and Telkomsel's broadband networks.  

Fixed Wireline Network

As of December 31, 2020, we managed approximately 9.1 million fixed wireline (fixed voice) connections. The following table sets forth data related to our fixed wireline network as of the dates indicated.

Cellular Network

Our cellular services, which are operated by our subsidiary Telkomsel, provide the most extensive network coverage of any cellular operator in Indonesia. Telkomsel operates on the GSM/DCS, GPRS, EDGE, 3.5G, and 4G/LTE networks. Telkomsel has a wide spectrum with 15 MHz on the 800/900 MHz frequency, 22.5 MHz of contiguous spectrum on the 1.8 GHz frequency, 15 MHz of contiguous spectrum on the 2.1 GHz frequency and 30 MHz of contiguous spectrum on the 2.3 GHz frequency. All spectrum are already using a neutral technology which is able to accommodate GSM/DCS, 3G, and 4G network based on Telkomsel needs. The range of cellular services on the GSM network provided by Telkomsel extends to all cities and districts in Indonesia. In 2019, Telkomsel added approximately 23,162 BTS representing a 12.2% increase compared to 2018. In 2020, Telkomsel added approximately 18,937 BTS representing a 18,2% decrease compared to the previous year. As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel's digital network was supported by 231,172 BTS (consisting of 107,523 4G/LTE BTS, 73,397 3G BTS and 50,252 2G BTS).

In October 2020, Telkomsel and Mitratel entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the sale of 6,050 telecommunications towers to Mitratel for Rp10.3 trillion. The transfer process was carried out gradually, starting with the transfer of 1,911 towers in October 2020 and 4,139 towers in February 2021. Telkomsel intends to focus on its main business as a digital telecommunications company and accelerate the pace of digitalization in Indonesia and expand opportunities for customers to transition to a digital lifestyle.

Data and Internet Network

In 2020, we continued to improve the quality of our data network by installing additional capacity and coverage. As of December 31, 2020, we provided broadband access using fiber optics to more than 30.1 million homes. As of December 31, 2020, our metro ethernet network expanded to 1,311,235 Mbps, which is able to provide broadband services throughout Indonesia. The metro ethernet is also used as the main link for IndiHome broadband services, softswitches and integrated multimedia subsystems ("IMS") related to voice services, video services, enterprise VPN services and GPON broadband services related to mobile backhaul and corporate business solutions.

66


As of December 31, 2020, we have extended the capacity of our internet gateway to reach an installed capacity of 10,600 Gbps. This ensures the adequacy of the internet gateway capacity in anticipation of the expected growth for both fixed and mobile broadband traffic. In 2020, operated content delivery networks ("CDN") with an aggregate capacity of 10,546 Gbps in collaboration with Google, Facebook, Akamai, Edgecast, Level3, ChinaNet, Yahoo and Over The Top video content providers such as iFlix and Catchplay+.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 59 points of presence in 49 cities in Indonesia: including 12 main points of presence in Batam (at Batam Center and Bukit Dangas), Jakarta (at Jatinegara and Cikupa), Surabaya (at Rungkut and Kebalen), Manado (at Manado Centrum and Manado Paniki), Makasar (at Pettarani and Balaikota) and Banjarmasin (Banjarmasin and Ulin), and 47 primary and secondary points of presence throughout Indonesia. In 2020, we added three primary points of presence in Bali (Singaraja), Kalimantan (Samarinda) and Nusa Tenggara Barat (Bima).

Throughout 2020, we consistently deployed additional access points across Indonesia, while also choosing to dismantle certain access points which provided Wi-Fi services in locations where there was low utilization. Dismantled access points were redeployed in more suitable locations. As of December 31, 2020, a total of 386,856 access points has been installed (consisting of 146,053 managed access points and 240,803 home spots).

Data Center

As of December 31, 2020, we operated 26 data centers (21 local data centers and five international data centers). Telin operated five overseas data centers which consisted of three locations in Singapore (Telin-1, Telin-2, Telin-3) with a total capacity of 16,542 KWH, one location in Timor Leste (250 kVA) and one location in Hong Kong (500 kVA). In Indonesia, our 21 local data centers had an aggregate capacity of 4,389 racks (including 955 NeuCentrIX racks and 3,434 racks with a Tier 3 and Tier 4 specification), representing an increase by 16.0% in number of racks from 3,783 racks in 2019 (including 584 racks of NeuCentrIX and 3,199 racks with a Tier 3 and Tier 4 specification) and we had established and operated 18 NeuCentrIX data centers in Balikpapan, Bandung (at Lembong), Batam (at Bukit Dangas and Batam center), Jakarta (at Karet Tengsin, Jatinegara and Meruya), Yogyakarta, Makassar, Manado (at Paniki), Medan (at Centrum), Semarang (at Banyumanik, Candi), Surabaya (at Kebalen, Kaliasem and Gubeng), Banjarmasin (Banjarmasin Ulin), and Pekanbaru. Telkom Sigma also managed three data centers with a specification of Tier 3 and Tier 4 in Indonesia (at Serpong, Sentul, and Surabaya). In 2020, we further deployed our NeuCentrIX data center capacities and services which target enterprise and wholesale customers by offering digital hub experience under the NeuCentrIX umbrella brand, combining various connectivity services to facilitate and foster the digital businesses of our customers. These data centers provide carrier neutral connectivity and multiple custom-made services for enterprise clients throughout the Asia Pacific region. With the capabilities of this network, we are able to provide integrated data storage solutions to companies in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Timor Leste.

Transmission Network

In 2020, we focused on the reinforcement of our domestic backbone network reliability and continued developing our broadband network, which serves as the backbone for our entire network infrastructure. Our backbone telecommunications network consists of transmission networks, switching facilities and core routers, which connect multiple access nodes. The transmission links between nodes and switching facilities comprise a terrestrial transmission network, in particular fiber optic, microwave and submarine cable systems, as well as satellite transmission networks and other transmission technologies. During the COVID-19 outbreak, data traffic significantly increased due to the implementation of various measures for ensuring the health and safety of the public, such as teleworking and learning from home. We took preemptive steps to ensure the reliability of our network and limit congestion issues, in particular in urban areas. We did so by increasing our network capacity, prioritizing sensitive areas to ensure they would not suffer from disruptions (certain key state agencies or ministries for instance, and key backbone connection links within our network), allocating more resources to monitor our network, either from our integrated operation centers or by sending teams of technicians on the field for controlling the physical integrity of our systems and the existence of potential intrusions. We believe our pro-active approach has been successful in avoiding significant disruptions, slow data traffic and congestion, despite practical difficulties related to the implementation of certain restrictions on domestic travel and other measures we implemented to protect our workforce during the COVID-19 outbreak, such as social distancing, limitations on the number of staff working together in one location at any given time and shorter working hours.

67


Communications Cable System

Our transmission network comprises 27 backbone rings in Indonesia with an aggregate capacity of 129,600 Gbps as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we operated a fiber optic backbone network totaling 103,235 km domestically (compared to 100,069 km as at December 31, 2019). Our domestic fiber optic backbone network is supplemented by an international fiber optic backbone network totaling 64,700 km.

Throughout 2019, we worked to deploy several submarine cable systems in order to strengthen our fiber optic backbone. In the west of Indonesia, we have completed the deployment of the SLM (Sabang-Lhokseumawe-Medan), a submarine cable system which connects the Sabang-Lhokseumawe cable system and the Lhokseumawe-Medan cable system, with a total length of 632.12 km, while in the east of Indonesia we are deploying the PATARA (Papua Utara) submarine cable system which will connect Sentani and Sarmi with a total length of 283 km. In Kalimantan, we have completed the deployment of the MATANUSA (Mangkajang-Tawao-Nunukan-Sangatta) cable system with a total length 673 km. These three additional submarine cable systems (SLM, PATARA and MATANUSA) are fully operational. We continue to progress on the deployment of our fiber optic backbone in eastern Indonesia. We are progressing on the deployment of our PATARA-2 submarine cable which will connect Sarmi and Waisei, with a total length of 1,126 km. In Sulawesi, we are progressing on the deployment of the LUMORI (Luwuk-Morowali-Kendari) submarine cable which will connect Luwuk, Bonepute, Kolaka and Kendari, with a total length of 436 km. The deployment of LUMORI is expected to be ready for service by the second quarter of 2021, while PATARA-2 is expected to be ready for service by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. These two submarine cables will improve Telkom’s transportation network.

We also intend to leverage Indonesia's strategic geographic location and to provide an alternative direct broadband connection between Europe, Asia and America as we completed the deployment of the IGG cable system in 2020. The IGG cable system connects two major submarine cable systems, namely the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) and, the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable systems. The IGG cable system also connects 12 major cities within Indonesia, including Batam, Jakarta, Surabaya and Manado, spanning a length of 5,403 km. This cable system increases our domestic traffic capacity and ability to offer broadband services. We completed the construction of this cable system in December 2018.

Satellites

In 2020, we operated three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and Merah Putih satellite.

The Telkom-2 satellite operates at orbital slot 157 E and its design life ended in December 2020. The Telkom-2 satellite has a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 24.00 TPE) with coverage over Indonesia and South Asia. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life could be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. Upon reaching the end of its design life, we had already migrated all critical traffic to other Telkom's resources and, since then, only non-critical traffic has been loaded onto Telkom-2. We have optimized our existing capacity to accommodate the traffic from Telkom-2 and we have already secured increased lease capacity from other satellites, should we need it.

The Telkom-3S satellite was launched in February 2017 and began operations in April 2017. We have located the Telkom-3S satellite at orbital slot 118 E. The Telkom-3S satellite has a capacity of 42 transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 49.00 TPE) consisting of: (i) 24 standard C-band transponders; (ii) 8 extended C-band transponders; and (iii) 10 Ku-band transponders, which would have coverage over Indonesia.

In addition, we have launched the Merah Putih satellite in August 2018 as a replacement for the Telkom-1 satellite. It began commercial operations in September 2018, and has a capacity of 60 transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 60.00 TPE) consisting of: (i) 24 standard C-band transponders which have coverage over South East Asia; (ii) 24 standard C-band transponders which would have coverage over South Asia; and (iii) 12 extended C-band transponders, which would have coverage over South East Asia. All of our satellites are controlled from a main control station in Cibinong, Bogor in West Java.

If we are successful, we expect this new satellite will help Telkomsat achieve a leading position among regional satellite service providers.

International Networks

We continue to develop our international network infrastructure in order to support our international expansion strategy and vision to be the "King of Digital in the Region." We operate international gateways in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya to route outgoing and incoming calls on our IDD service ("007" and "01017"). We also operate a voice gateway in Singapore and Hong Kong to offer voice services from or to any countries. As of December 31, 2020, we owned and operated an international fiber optic backbone network totaling 64,700 km.

We also operate the IGG submarine cable system to connect major cities in Indonesia with Asia, Europe and USA. The IGG also provides direct and fast connection (or "express connection") to connect our existing submarine cable system of SEA-ME-WE 5 to SEA-US.

Moreover, we also operate and have rights of use for fiber optic infrastructure totaling 134,040 km in aggregate under a permanent telecommunication lease agreement, together with other global submarine cable operators/consortiums.

Overview of Telecommunications Services Rates

Under the Telecommunications Law and Government Regulation No.52/2000, tariffs for operating telecommunications network and/or services are determined by providers based on the tariff type, structure and with respect to the price cap formula set by the Government.

a.           Fixed line telephone tariffs

Under MoCI Regulation No.15/2008, the tariff structure for basic telephony services connected through fixed line network comprised the following fees:

activation fee;

monthly subscription charges;

usage charges; and

additional facilities fee.

b.           Mobile cellular telephone tariffs

On April 7, 2008, the MoCI issued Regulation No.09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008, (on mechanism to determine tariffs of telecommunications services connected through mobile cellular network) ("MoCI Regulation No.9/2008") which provides guidelines to determine cellular tariffs with a formula consisting of network element cost and retail services activity cost. Under MoCI Regulation No.9/2008, cellular tariffs for the operation of telecommunications services connected through mobile cellular network consist of the following:

basic telephony services tariff;

roaming tariff; and/or

multimedia services tariff

with the following traffic structure:

activation fee;

monthly subscription charges;

usage charges; and

additional facilities fee.

c.           Interconnection tariffs

Based on letter No.118/KOMINFO/DJPPI/PI.02.04/01/2014 of the DGPI, the DGPI required our Company and Telkomsel to submit Reference Interconnection Offer ("RIO") proposals to the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Body ("ITRB") for evaluation on an annual basis. Subsequently, the ITRB in its letters No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 approved our Company's and Telkomsel's RIO revisions and approved an SMS interconnection tariff at Rp24 per SMS. On January 18, 2017, ITRB in its letters No.20/BRTI/DPI/I/2017 and No.21/BRTI/DPI/I/2017, decided to use the interconnection tariff based on the Company and Telkomsel's RIO in 2014 until the new interconnection tariff is set.

70


d.           Network lease tariffs

Through MoCI Regulation No.03/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2007 on Network Lease ("MoCI Regulation No.03/2007"), the Government regulated the form, type, tariff structure and tariff formula for services related to network leases. Pursuant to MoCI Regulation No.03/2007, the Director General of Post and Telecommunication issued Decree No.115 of 2008 which stated its agreement on Agreement on Network Lease Service Type Document, Network Lease Service Tariff, Available Capacity of Network Lease Service, Quality of Network Lease Service, and Provision Procedure of Network Lease Service in 2008 Owned by Dominant Network Lease Service Provider in conformity with the Company's proposal.

e.           Tariffs for other services

The tariffs for satellite lease, telephony services, and other multimedia are determined by the service provider by taking into account the expenditures and market price. The Government only determines the tariff formula for basic telephony services. There is no stipulation for the tariff of other services.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

We have implemented a comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy to bolster our brand and to increase sales, including through digital marketing and the development of our product and service distribution channels. To increase sales, we also use above and below the line marketing channels to promote our services to certain parties and communities. We also continue to place advertisement in printed and electronic media and implement marketing methods such as point of sales broadcasting as well as promotion and sponsorship events.

We continue to implement our marketing and promotional strategy as well as our customer services to be in line with the characteristics of our businesses, products and services, as well as customers' preferences. The following provides a description of our marketing and promotional strategies per customer segment.

Mobile Customers

For our mobile customer segment, in 2020 we focused our marketing strategy on targeting specific customer segments and personalizing offerings delivered through digital channels for efficient implementation. Telkomsel focused on finding the right balance between market share growth, revenue mix and profitability. It launched initiatives to increase its offering of premium products that usually carry higher prices and ensure its products meet customers' needs and expectations. Telkomsel also focused on improving payload growth and acquiring new data users while continuing to support legacy product usage. To stimulate higher data and digital products usage, Telkomsel continued partnering with several parties to enrich contents available from existing platforms and continued to offer its "more for more" program whereby customers who subscribe for more expensive data packages get attractive add-ons and features, which we expect will ultimately drive value creation and maintain stable ARPU, especially in challenging circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we launched our Ketengan (small batches) package for users who want to opt for data service for use of specific applications and our unlimited package to leverage our strong network capability and taking into consideration our customers' needs in a challenging macro-economic environment in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, provide valuable products and services for improving customer engagement and loyalty. Our efforts to maintain stable ARPU include providing digital lifestyle and digital payment services which we provide as mobile-based digital life services.

71


In 2020, we continued to introduce new products and to revamp our mobile package options in order to appeal to our various groups of customers. We continued offering our prepaid service by.U that we launched in 2019. This service bundle targets young users and offers a "customer-centric" experience to customers as they are free to choose from a wide variety of services. To strengthen the positioning of our MAXStream video platform in the video streaming industry, we partner with video content providers to enrich our content available from our video streaming platform. In 2019, we published our second video game, Lord of Estera, which is available from Telkomsel and Langit Musik, a streaming service. In 2020, we published three new games: Rise of Nowlin, Kolak Express 3 and Three Kingdoms: Quest of Infinity, all available on Telkomsel Dunia Games. Telkomsel also enriched its contents and services to improve its customers' experience, for instance with greater access to Langit Musik and a choice of numerous ring back tones. We also increased opportunities for customers to use LinkAja, including extending the ability to use LinkAja to non-subscribers and collaborating with additional partners such as taxi services, petrol stations and food and beverage operators for the use of LinkAja as payment. In 2020, Telkomsel also made an investment in Gojek, a leading on-demand and payment platform in Southeast Asia to deepen the collaboration between the two companies for accelerating the transition of Indonesia towards digitalization. As of December 31, 2020, we had 169.5 million cellular subscribers, comprising 163.0 million prepaid subscribers and 6.5 million postpaid subscribers and 115.9 million mobile broadband customers.

Consumer Customers

In 2020, IndiHome was our main product targeting the consumer customer market. Since 2019, our consumer segment has been focusing on apartment and premium customers, who used to fall under our enterprise unit, in addition to its traditional purely residential customer base. In 2020, we enhanced our services offered to this wider customer base in terms of quality and dispatching technicians on-site to improve our customers' experience (this service being available only in certain locations as at the date hereof). We have also developed a multi-retail service provider partnership model for our consumer customers who have built their own fiber infrastructure in apartment complexes or condominiums, for instance. This partnership model allows us to offer ICT management services to premium customers and that we can provide IndiHome services using the fiber infrastructure installed and operated by such multi-retail service providers.

With various marketing strategies, from discount to value innovation, we are able to offer products which we believe offer attractive value. We offer these products through various sales channels, including digital channels and carry out campaigns and year-round promotions, especially during festive campaigns. Our promotions and campaigns included the following in 2020:

Wujudkan Rumah Ceria 2020 campaign: IndiHome's campaign to celebrate the New Year of 2020. IndiHome carried out a series of promotional activities such as giving a 10%-discount to customers subscribing for the minipack IndiKorea, Dynasty 2 and IndiJapan minipacks, along with lucky draws.

Berkah Dari Rumah campaign: IndiHome's campaign to celebrate the month of Ramadan and support the people working, studying or carrying out other activities from home due to the COVID-19 outbreak. IndiHome carried out in numerous promotional activities such as giving a 20%-discount for customers who upgrade their internet speed, free access to certain contents for one month (“30 Menit Bisa Membaca Al-Quran”), and lucky draws.

Semangat Kemerdekaan campaign: IndiHome’s campaign to celebrate Indonesia's Independence Day. IndiHome gave various discounts such as a 17%-discount for 8 minipacks and LinkAja balance top-ups. Customers also had an opportunity to participate in lucky draws.

In 2020, our sales strategy focused on implementing a dynamic pricing of our products and services allowing our selling prices to better reflect local conditions in different areas of Indonesia, while providing our customers with superior bundled products and faster and enhanced services. We also continued our points program (initiated in 2019) for our salespeople to incentivize greater sales activity on weekends and holidays and improve convenience to our customers.

72


We also intensified our efforts to provide tailored service to customers by using customer profiles created through the compilation of customer data to personalize services and offer products which may be attractive to customers based on their profile. We also rely on an end-to-end traceable customer relationship management process, which allows us to identify and rectify problems as they happen, rather than waiting for customers to alert us to such issues. In doing so, we proactively solve problems before customers are inconvenienced.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 9.1 million fixed wireline subscribers along with 8.0 million fixed broadband IndiHome subscribers.

Enterprise Customers

For our enterprise customers, we have been implementing a marketing strategy to attract high-end market enterprise customers using strategic key account management with the aim of improving our relationship with customers through a cooperative process in designing services customized for strategic accounts. We also have a transformative digital marketing strategy which comprises: (i) a governmental initiative that seeks to foster the use of digital technologies, under which we aim to become the Government's strategic ICT partner by collaborating with the Government on strategic ICT mega-deals that focus on the digital customer experience; (ii) an end-to-end digital ecosystem initiative that synergistically leverages our capabilities for targeted companies, under which we market end-to-end digital ICT solutions to our enterprise customers which provide customized and reliable solutions for each of our customers, and (iii) the build-the-nation digital SME initiative, under which we market basic ICT solutions for connectivity services and solution-oriented packages to SMEs in Indonesia through the optimization of a domestically-developed digital ecosystem, useful applications and content, and SME customer experience.

In 2020, our sales strategy comprised providing access to: (i) Account Managers for the large enterprise segment (the Account Manager is meant to serve as a single point of interaction to provide end-to-end service to customers, from initiation of the relationship to after-sales services) by leveraging end-to-end digitalization with an application-based process, (ii) Government Relationship Officers for the Government, agencies and other similar customers to manage a close relationship with such customers for the whole year and increasing the quality of our services to encourage contract renewal, and (iii) Business Account Managers for medium-sized SME customers, and Tele Account Management (TAM) for the small-sized and micro SME segment served by a value-added reseller method supplemented by a reliable digital channel and advanced mobile applications, which provide additional products or services with the purchase of an initial or qualifying item.

Wholesale and International Business Customers

Our wholesale and international business customers are mainly domestic other license operators (OLO's), service providers, digital player, global wholesaler and carrier, and enterprises that are related to our product or services such as international data center or international connectivity (IPLC) besides retail customers in our international operation of mobile network operator (MNO) and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).

For our wholesale and international business customers, we focus on: (i) offering attractive business schemes for our voice traffic portfolio to leverage such benefits to increase retail traffic, through the bundling of voice traffic products at competitive prices that are compatible with the quality of the service offered; (ii) improving services, such as quality and coverage, for international data center and connectivity customers; (iii) offering an end-to-end tower solution to customers both for core tower services such as "built to suit" (a tower rental service tailored to the preferred location and specifications of the first tenant or anchor tenant for the relevant tower), co-location and adjacent tower services such as site maintenance, and other related services; and (iv) exploring our regional market by providing submarine cable laying and maintenance services.

We also provide customer service management for wholesale and international customers through account managers, digital touch points, and 24-hour customer care support. We keep developing the capability and competency of our account management team to improve our capability to deliver excellent service and strong engagement with our customers. To get a better understanding of our customers' needs and feedback, we conduct surveys periodically through digital touch points and interviews, and their outcome generally result in new improvement programs.

73


Digital Service Customers

For our digital service customers, our marketing strategy focuses on strengthening and improving digital innovation, including by:

enriching digital content;

creating digital services with unique features;

improving brand, platform, operational, and customer experiences;

building digital business models to support Indonesia's digital economics;

leveraging our assets and inventory to obtain increasing insight into digital services and customer experience; and

growing the portfolio of our digital business through investment in digital startups in order to be a part of Indonesia's digital ecosystem.

We tailor our sales strategy to each particular digital business and our digital customers' needs. We offer customer care and channel management, including through contact centers, dedicated account management for large enterprises, websites, and social media.

Our digital service customers program focuses on leveraging IndiHome services, for instance by promoting the MyIndiHomeX application as a digital touch point for IndiHome’s customers and the Indibox as the source of value-added services (such as video contents, games, and other Google applications). GameQoo is a cloud gaming service and an add-on benefit to the IndiHome services. IndiHome Smart is an IoT home service that provides IndiHome users with consumer digital services.

Distribution Channels

The following are our primary distribution channels for our products and services:

Face-to-face customer service points include walk-in customer service points and mobile units, where customers have access to the full range of Telkom and Telkomsel's products and services, including billing, payment, subscription cancellation, promotion and complaint handling. Plasa Telkom outlets generally provide access to Telkom products and services and GraPARI centers generally provide access to Telkomsel products and services. In recent years, we have been introducing Telkomsel products at certain Plasa Telkom outlets and have established nine digital GraPARI outlets as of December 31, 2020, which offer both Telkom and Telkomsel products. As of December 31, 2020, we managed 383 Plasa Telkom outlets and 403 GraPARI centers in Indonesia, 19 international GraPARI centers (one in Hong Kong, three in Taiwan, and 15 in Timor Leste) and nine GraPARI Telkom Group centers, which provide the most comprehensive services for both retail and corporate customers of Telkom and Telkomsel. Several of our GraPARI centers operate on a 24-hour basis. As of December 31, 2020, we also operated 365 GraPARI mobile units and 896 IndiHome sales car units which are sales points located in vehicles which can travel to reach customers across the country.

74


Authorized dealers, retail outlets and modern channels are distribution outlets for Telkomsel products such as starterpacks, prepaid SIM cards and top-up vouchers. We operate an extensive network of authorized dealers and retail outlets across Indonesia. These dealers are non-exclusive, and they receive a discount on all of the products they receive. In 2020, we noticed a shift from traditional channels to modern channels due to the changing behaviors of consumers during the COVID-19 outbreak. More consumers sought to avoid or limit physical interactions or had to do so to comply with social distancing measures and guidelines. In doing this, they preferred transacting online, using the internet of dedicated mobile applications rather than transacting in traditional outlets. Digitalization and the implementation of digital and transformative strategies by various private companies and public institutions and agencies facilitates the increase in transaction volumes through modern channels, hence the rapid development of e-commerce, the fintech sector, e-money, and delivery services. Telkomsel has been monitoring those changes to adapt and redefine the key performance indicators it uses for rewarding partners and to assist them in optimizing their business models to increase sales.

Partnership Stores are extensions of our distribution channels, in cooperation with a variety of third party marketing outlets such as computer or electronic stores, banks through their ATM networks and others.

Contact centers are call centers that support our customers' ability to access certain of our products and services, including making billing enquiries, submitting complaints and accessing certain promotions and service features. We operate 24-hour contact center facilities in Semarang, Bandung and Malang (Indonesia).

Account Management Teams are teams that manage relationships and account portfolios of large enterprises, Government agencies, medium-scale businesses and wholesale customers.

Sales Specialists have deep product and technical knowledge in order to provide appropriate and effective recommendations and solutions to corporate customers who work together with our Account Managers.

Channel Partners serve as value added resellers that conduct sales and marketing activities to our enterprise customers to seek their specific requirements and to our retail customers to offer retail packages. We also engage third parties to conduct sales activities for retail customers at certain events.

Digital Touch Points are web and mobile application-based services which we provide to our IndiHome subscribers and corporate customers. We operate myIndiHome, a self-care mobile application-based service for IndiHome customers, which allows customers to register new subscriptions, manage payments and billing, report and monitor network problems, access video-on-demand services and manage customer reward programs. Telkomsel also offers MyTelkomsel, which is a self-care mobile application-based service for Telkomsel subscribers which provides information on services, allows purchase of packages and products as well as account management. For enterprise customers, we offer My Telkom Digital Solution (MyTDS), user-centric digital touch points that digitize and simplify business processes to increase our productivity and performance in providing services to our customers. MyTDS also enhances user experience for our Corporate Customers. Users interact with us on mobile applications and web platform. Users of MyTDS will soon be given access to our product catalog, generate a digital quotation, track delivery tickets, and allow customers to ask for support as they can report service disruptions using MyTDS to generate release tickets which create a record of the disruptions.

Websites, we operate www.telkom.co.id, www.telkomsel.com and www.telin.net, which enable our customers to access certain of our products and services. Available services include e-Billing, registration, collective billing registration and submission of complaints.

Social Media, we use social media, primarily Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, to enable customers to interact with us regarding our products and services.

We monitor and strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations by promoting efficient uses of energy, increasing the use of renewable energy, water management and an eco-friendly corporate culture. For example, we are using equipment that helps us minimize our electricity consumption in our office buildings, such as LED lamps, reflective glass (to reduce incoming heat and the use of air conditioning), cooling system management, zoning lighting systems, capacitor banks to optimize electricity consumption, automatic devices to schedule time periods during which certain equipment do not need to operate (and consume electricity), and we also plan to install rooftop solar panels to increase our use of renewable energy in our office buildings. We have also implemented similar measures on our fixed network (for instance for optimizing the use of air conditioning in rooms which require fresh air to cool down certain equipment, using newer devices to decrease energy consumption, or increasing the use of renewable energy thanks to the installation of solar panels). We have also installed automatic water taps in most of our office buildings and use water from air conditioner condensation for reducing our water consumption. We have also implemented policies to incentivize our employees to use online dissemination of information (as opposed to hard copies), virtual meetings and other digital processes in an effort to decrease our paper consumption. Our subsidiary Telkomsel also incentivize customers to choose paperless bills.

We also invest in our employees and more broadly in digital talents within and outside the Telkom Group. We believe in an inclusive workplace and equal access to training and career opportunities, which helps us to recruit, motivate and further develop talented employees who can serve our customers with professionalism wherever we operate. We are committed to implementing labor practices based on international business norms and regulations. We support and respect human rights, gender equality and non-discriminatory social and corporate practices. We have female employees at all levels of our organization, including managerial positions, and we follow the principle of equal pay for equal work. We also support the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower's and the International Labor Organization's initiatives towards a child-labor-free Indonesia. A decent and safe workplace is one of the key factors that affect employee performance. Therefore, we strive to create a conducive work atmosphere by providing the latest digital-based work facilities that allow employees to be mobile and collaborate optimally. Employee workspaces are equipped with various facilities to make it easier to work and interact with others comfortably and safely. Our Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment Management System is designed to reduce the risk of work accidents.  

As regards confidential and personal data protection, since 2014, our Cyber Security Operation Center has been operating with teams working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to protect confidential data and information from misappropriation and misuse by anticipating and promptly responding to cyber-attacks and other security threats. Effective information sharing among teams and departments are key to the prompt monitoring and detection of such threats, effective incident response management, vulnerability assessments and instilling cyber-security awareness among all employees and partners. We also have internal policies, procedures and guidelines in place to increase cyber-security awareness among our employees, for instance on the use of strong passwords for accessing their corporate account or accounts and internal databases, restricted information and data or applications, enabling multi-factor authentication features where available, and regularly updating our employees on existing or past cyber-attacks, best practices (such as how to handle phishing emails). Our IT risk management system is periodically reviewed and certified by an independent consultant and we conduct security checks on our IT infrastructure on a daily basis. We organize training sessions and programs focusing on cyber-security for our employees which allow our employees to obtain various levels of certifications which further allows us to efficiently organize our response in case of cyber-attacks or if a vulnerability has been identified in our systems by mobilizing our employees with the most relevant skill set. Our senior management is involved in formulating our cyber-security strategy, related policies and overseeing their implementation.

We also engage with the communities in which we operate through various partnership programs and initiatives, such as our "internet for education" program and sociodigipreneurship incubation program. Consistent with the Government's initiatives to continue infrastructure development (including through investments in internet networks) in rural areas, we provide free internet access to communities located in areas with weak or deficient internet access, often located in rural areas and less developed provinces of Indonesia. Our "internet for education" program focuses on providing internet access, Wi-Fi devices and computers to such communities so that to allow them to learn online. Our sociodigipreneurship incubation program seeks to foster talents (including in vocational schools, other students and employees) and help them develop entrepreneurship, innovation in the digital space, and more particularly find solutions to social issues using digital tools and digitalization.

 For 2020, we invested approximately Rp397.1 billion in such social responsibility and partnership programs throughout Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also sourced and distributed personal protective equipment and medical devices (free of charge) in various communities.

As another example of our corporate culture, in support of the Government's programs and initiatives to contain the spread and alleviate the consequences of COVID-19, all our Directors and Commissioners donated their religious holiday allowance (Tunjangan Hari Raya) in 2020.

The Telecommunications Industry in Indonesia

The Indonesian economy recorded a GDP contraction of 2.07% in 2020 (computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. GDP attributable to the information and communication sector, however, increased by 10.58% in 2020. This growth demonstrates changes in behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, as companies, agencies and individuals increased their demand for information and communication services, in particular as more and more people worked or studied from home.

Indonesia's telecommunications industry has been experiencing advancement in recent years, primarily driven by growth in fixed and mobile broadband subscriptions. The main drivers behind the growth are increased data usage with greater affordability, service improvement and smartphone penetration. The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services has been continuing, supported by cheaper smartphones as well as a growing youth segment. Data traffic has grown, however, SMS and voice service traffic has decreased significantly. Over The Top applications have become part of Indonesian life (including voice and video calls) as due to advances in such applications, they are now easier to use and offer improved quality of service. As a result, customers have replaced the usage of legacy SMS and voice services with Over The Top applications, which has resulted in a steeper decline of the legacy business. The rise of the digital economy has been embraced by Indonesian people across the socioeconomic spectrum, which continues to cause profound changes in economic activities. The pace of such changes has increased in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented by the Government and private sector players.

The telecommunications industry, especially the mobile segment, has been characterized by increased competition in recent years, particularly as operators have been offering promotions which include bonus data allowances in order to attract new customers. Customers have become sensitive to data pricing, which has led to lower margins for telecommunications operators. The ensuing heightened price competition for data services in Indonesia during the first half of 2019 brought significant adverse financial consequences for telecommunications operators, leading to a subtle decline of pricing for a more reasonable level by the end of 2019. This decline in prices, in particular for mobile data services, continued in 2020.

Based on our internal calculation and publicly available data, the penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is quite high, is excess of 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly limited. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, representing a 4.6% increase from approximately 341.1 million cellular subscribers as of December 31, 2019. By subscriber numbers, based on publicly available data disclosed by market players and our own internal data, the three largest cellular operators in Indonesia are Telkomsel, Indosat and XL Axiata, which collectively accounted for more than 95% of the market share based on the estimated number of total subscribers as of December 31, 2020. The SIM card registration requirements that ended March 31, 2018 resulted in a significant decrease in the number of mobile subscribers at the end of 2018 of 21.8%, leading to a small growth in the number of subscribers in 2019. The impact of such registration requirements on the number of subscribers faded in 2020. The number of subscribers slightly increased in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with 169.5 million cellular subscribers, which represented a 0.9% decrease in the number of cellular subscribers from December 31, 2019. This slight decrease was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had a negative impact on the overall Indonesian economy and individuals' purchasing power. In addition, we were and are still subject to intense competition in our industry.

80


Data consumption in the mobile segment continued to increase, and it is expected that the consumption level per user will continue to grow from the current average data consumption per user. Such growth in data consumption will require significant capital expenditure in order to provide the necessary increase in capacity and coverage to accommodate such growth. The MoCI has publicly announced a restructuring plan for spectrum allocation among telecommunication operators to facilitate the transition from 3G and 4G to 5G. The scheduled migration from analog TV to digital TV will free up a 112 MHz bandwidth in the 700 MHz spectrum which is suitable for use of 5G in 2022. This additional spectrum available for re-allocation and other spectrum available as a result of the restructuring plan, once completed, will empower MNOs to strengthen and maximize the quality of 4G LTE and develop their offering of 5G services to their respective customers, especially in areas where data service capacity is dense. Wider spectrum bandwidth allows more efficient signal transmission for better coverage with fewer transmitters. Moreover, it also enables MNOs to provide higher speed and capacity to deliver a better digital lifestyle experience to all Indonesians.

Data is the main revenue driver for telecommunications companies, with significant increases in traffic volumes projected for the near future, driven primarily by streaming of HD/Ultra HD video, video on demand, gaming and an increase in network-connected devices that need fixed and mobile connections. To support the expected increase in traffic, telecommunications companies will need to invest in rollout of additional BTS and will thus require supplemental tower infrastructure, either in the form of macro or micro towers. Data traffic growth will be supported by 4G technology and telecommunications companies have begun deploying 4G BTS throughout Indonesia. Telecommunications companies have widespread 3G/4G coverage across Java and adjacent islands, where they typically build a wide thin layer of coverage and then invest in capacity to meet demand as subscriber adoption and usage increases. As a result of lower margins for telecommunications companies caused by the shift in focus to data business from legacy services, cost savings have become imperative, and as a result tower lease rates have come under pressure from telecommunications companies requesting lower lease rates.

The demand for fixed broadband services in Indonesia continued to increase in 2020, especially in large cities, marked by an increase in total broadband subscribers, despite the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such increase in demand was primarily due to an increase in consumption driven by home entertainment that accelerated as a result of containment measures implemented in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak (such as working from home and school/studying from home). Indonesian users increasingly expect high-quality internet connectivity to their homes as evidenced by the level of investment made by the Government and private enterprises for the development of fiber optic networks. Currently, the national fixed broadband market is still dominated by a limited number of companies. We and First Media are the leading companies in the fixed broadband industry, followed by PT Link Net Tbk ("Link Net"), PT Supra Primatama Nusantara ("BizNet Networks"), PT MNC Kabel Mediacom ("MNC Vision") and PT Eka Mas Republik (an affiliate of Smartfren Telecom which operates under the "MyRepublic" brand), based on the number of subscribers and our internal estimates and information published by these companies. Given that obtaining licenses and "right of way" access to lay cables from local municipal governments remains time-consuming in Indonesia, barriers to entry in the market remain high. As of December 31, 2020, we had more than 8.0 million fixed broadband subscribers. However, given the low penetration of fixed broadband services in Indonesia, smaller players are aggressively expanding their coverage regions with intention of having an impact in selected targeted regions. In order to entice new subscribers, other operators have been offering pay-TV and TV-on-demand bundles, as well as packages with other value added services to further monetize their active subscribers. These offerings include services such as home security and smart home.

Competition

Business Competition Law

The Indonesian telecommunications sector is regulated by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, to facilitate the entry of new operators as well as to increase transparency and competition. The Telecommunications Law abolished the concept of "organizing entities" in the industry, which terminated the special status of Telkom and Indosat as the organizing bodies responsible for coordinating telecommunications services domestically and internationally. In order to increase competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among fellow telecommunications operators.

81


The Telecommunications Law is implemented through various Government regulations and ministerial regulations, including Government Regulation No.52/2000, MoCI Regulation No.1/PER/M.KOMINFO/01/2010 (on provision of telecommunications networks), as lastly amended by MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2015 on Implementation of Telecommunication Network and MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services in the Sector of Communications and Informatics, and amended further by MoCI Regulation No. 7 of 2019 ("MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, as amended") ("MoCI Regulation No.1/2010, as amended"), Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM33 of 2004 (on monitoring of fair competition of the fixed network and basic telephone service operations) ("Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004") and Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM.4 of 2001 (on the national basic technical plan 2000 for the national telecommunications development) ("National Technical Telecommunications Plan"). The National Technical Telecommunications Plan has been amended several times, most recently by MoCI Regulation No.14 of 2018 on Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications Plan ("MoCI Regulation No.14/2018"). Along with the Telecommunications Law, the National Technical Telecommunications Plan determines the basic vision for the development of Indonesia's telecommunications regulator.

The Government encourages healthy competition and transparency in the telecommunications sector, even though the Government does not prevent operators from obtaining a dominant position or increasing their dominance in the market through specific regulations. Nevertheless, the Government prohibits market leading operators from abusing their dominant position.

Competition in the telecommunications sector, like all Indonesian business sectors, is also governed more generally by the Business Competition Law. The Business Competition Law prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

The Business Competition Law is implemented by various regulations, including Government Regulation No.57/2010 (on mergers and acquisitions potentially causing monopolistic practices or unfair business practices) ("GR No.57/2010"). GR No.57/2010 permits voluntary consultation with the KPPU prior to a merger or acquisition, which will result in the KPPU issuing a non-binding opinion. GR No.57/2010 also requires that a mandatory report be made to the KPPU after a merger or acquisition is completed if the transaction exceeds certain asset or sales value thresholds. Further, on October 14, 2019, KPPU issued Regulation No. 3 of 2019 on Assessment of Merger or Consolidation of Business Entities or Share Acquisitions of Companies ("KPPU Regulation No.3/2019"). Under KPPU Regulation No.3/2019, asset acquisitions which meet the set regulatory threshold must be reported to KPPU. In addition, as at the date hereof, a new implementing regulation relating to the Business Competition Law is still being prepared by the Government following the adoption of the Job Creation Law. Such governmental regulation will, among other things, determine the scope and amounts of sanctions imposed on parties responsible for breaching the Business Competition Law.

Cellular

We operate our cellular service business through our 65% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel.

As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with approximately 169.5 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 58.9% based on our internal estimate of number of total subscribers. We believe the next largest providers were Indosat and XL Axiata, based on number of subscribers as of December 31, 2020. Several other smaller operators also provide cellular services in Indonesia, including Hutchison, which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand, and Smartfren Telecom, which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

82


The penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is high, well over 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly difficult. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, compared to approximately 341.1 million as of December 31, 2019. This 4.6% increase was primarily due to effective marketing campaigns used in the cellular industry with initiatives to gain and retain customers. The Government's reinforcement of the prepaid SIM registration policy, as customers no longer have the freedom of accumulating several numbers provided by various operators, had initially caused a slight reduction in the customer base and the number of starterpacks across the industry because customers had to select their preferred operator and phone number. Consequently, we noticed that customers tended to remain with their respective chosen operators for a longer period of time as a result of this policy. The impact of this policy, however, faded in 2020 and had only an insignificant impact on our customer base. The Government's registration policy, however, has resulted in a better-quality customer base with a higher proportion of active subscribers and more efficient SIM card production costs. Due to a reduction in the number of starterpacks, operators can provide better quality services to customers. Additionally, operators are focusing more on offering renewal promotions than on new starterpack promotions. We believe the registration policy, assuming continued implementation, will also have positive long-term impact and support the emergence of healthier competition in the industry.

The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services continues to develop, driven by cheaper prices of smartphones as well as the rapidly growing youth customer segment. Data traffic has grown significantly, while SMS service traffic has decreased. Since 2017, Telkomsel has seen a steep decrease in voice usage. Minutes of usage per mobile subscriber also started to decrease in the second half of 2017. These trends continued in 2019 and 2020 and are likely to continue in the forseeable future, as they are attributable to the substitution of traditional voice and SMS services to Over the Top based calling and messaging services as smartphone penetration in Indonesia has risen.

Fixed Services

We compete with other major fixed broadband service providers with brands such as First Media, BizNetHome, MNC Play and MyRepublic. Of our major competitors, First Media has the largest number of customers. In recent years, it has been facing competition from MNC Play and MyRepublic that primarily target the affluent household market in Greater Jakarta. BizNet is competitive in the corporate segment, particularly in Java and Bali. On the other hand, our IndiHome service focuses on the mass market across Indonesia, and our focus in recent years has been to upgrade DSL customers to fiber based broadband in order to deliver better quality of service and expand our digital services. We have faced increasing competition since 2019, including from a new entrant, a subsidiary of the electricity company Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) that started offering internet and TV services in 2019 through its ICON+ subsidiary. Supported by PLN, this new market entrant benefits from a wide coverage outside Java. In 2020, we have seen increased demand for fixed broadband services because the COVID-19 outbreak has increased the pace of digitalization in all aspects of life. Our main competitors have increasingly engaged in marketing activities and network expansions in urban and rural areas of Indonesia in 2020 and sought to capture such increase in demand. A number of local competitors emerged in 2020 as increased demand for fixed broadband services resulted in unserved local markets, such as Jets in West Java and Desfiber in Central Java.

83


Data Center

We are committed to providing the highest quality of data center solutions to our customers in Indonesia and the Asia Pacific. Supported by our proprietary self-owned submarine cable network, our comprehensive co-location services are designed to be flexible, modular, seamless and scalable in order to meet our customers' business needs. A number of other companies, including DCI Indonesia, Indosat Ooredoo, Moratelindo, IDC Indonesia, NTT Communication, Global Axcess System, Biznet, Centrin Online, Cyber TechTonic Pratama, and JupiterDC also provide data center solutions in Indonesia. In the Asia Pacific region, our subsidiary, Telin, competes with other major data center providers in Singapore and Hong Kong.

International Direct Dialing (IDD)

We compete in traditional IDD services (non-VoIP) in Indonesia primarily with Indosat. However, due to the development of digital technology, our IDD services also face competition from VoIP and other Over The Top voice services such as Skype, WhatsApp and Line.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

We have operated our voice service through VoIP technology since 2002. VoIP uses data communications to transfer voice traffic over the internet, which usually provides substantial cost savings to subscribers. A number of other companies, including XL Axiata, Indosat, PT Atlasat Solusindo, PT Gaharu Sejahtera, PT Satria Widya Prima, PT Primedia Armoekadata Internet, PT Jasnita Telekomindo and IP Telecom also provide licensed VoIP services in Indonesia.

Satellite

The Asia Pacific region, and especially Southeast Asia, continues to need satellites for both telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructure, due to the characteristics of the region as an archipelago. The capabilities provided by satellites include cellular backhaul, broadband backhaul, enterprise network, occasional usage TV, military and Government network, video distribution, DTH television, flight communication and disaster recovery.

We compete with a number of other satellite operators with satellites covering Southeast Asia and South Asia, and several operators are in the process of developing satellites with coverage over these regions. The Telkom-3S satellite became operational in April 2017 and the Merah Putih Satellite became operational in September 2018. The Telkom-3S satellite, operates at orbital slot 118 E, the Telkom-2 satellite operates at orbital slot 157 E and the Merah Putih Satellite operates at orbital slot 108 E.

Tower

The tower market experienced demand disruption during 2017-2019 as a result of mobile industry consolidation and spectrum reallocation. XL acquired Axis in 2014 while Flexi effectively ceased its operations in the same year. Bakrie Telecom ceased its operations gradually from January 1, 2016. The four largest mobile network operators also reallocated the 1,800 MHz spectrum band in anticipation of 4G LTE technology rollout. As the mobile network industry reconfigured its network requirements, tower market demand experienced setbacks in 2015-2016. As a result, new market opportunities opened for tower operators that allowed co-location by multiple telecommunications providers in the following year. In 2019, tenancy demand was more stable as a result of mobile broadband expansion.

In 2020, demand for new towers and co-location increased due to the increase in data demand caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and related containment measures such as travel restrictions and work-from-home or study-from-home incentives and programs. Incremental revenue captured by mobile operators due to this increase in data demand, however, was not proportionate to such increase due to downward pressure on prices resulting from increased competition among mobile operators. We believe the Indonesian tower market has strong fundamentals and offer growth opportunities with predictable revenue associated with long-term contracts for use of towers and co-location.

84


We are also actively preparing to adapt and transition our tower business to provide fiber optic services. This is in response to a global trend of telecommunication tower providers morphing into infrastructure companies in response to expected 5G rollouts, the deployment of more diverse network technologies and the emergence of new business models that require agility and companies which are more data driven. We have already initiated this change to an infrastructure company business model to support the growth of our tower business and the deployment of 5G in Indonesia.

As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 35,822 towers, including 18,473 towers owned by Mitratel, 1,349 owned by Telkom (but operated by Mitratel), and 16,000 towers owned by Telkomsel. A number of other companies, including PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure Tbk, PT Profesional Telekomunikasi Indonesia, and PT Solusi Tunas Pratama Tbk also provide tower business in Indonesia.

Others

The dynamic development of the telecommunications sector has opened up new opportunities, particularly with the increasing growth of Over The Top services which provide substitute services to basic telecommunications services such as voice and SMS. Certain Over The Top service providers are particularly popular, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Line, among others. The presence of these Over The Top services has affected the use of legacy services, which resulted in decreasing traffic in the past two to three years.

Legal Basis and Regulation

The framework for the telecommunications industry comprises specific laws, Government regulations, ministerial regulations and ministerial decrees enacted and issued from time to time.

Telecommunications Law

The telecommunications sector is primarily governed by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants, and enhanced transparency and competition.

The Telecommunications Law eliminated the concept of "organizing entities" thereby ending our and Indosat's responsibility for coordinating domestic and international telecommunications services, respectively. To enhance competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among telecommunications operators.

The Telecommunications Law was implemented through several Government Regulations, Ministerial Regulations and Ministerial Decrees. The most important of such regulations include:

Law No.36 of 1999 on Telecommunications, as partly amended by the Job Creation Law.

Government Regulation No.52/2000 on Telecommunications Operations, as partly amended by Government Regulation GR No.46/2021.

MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 on Telecommunications Networks Operations, as partly amended by MoCI Regulation No.38/2014 and MoCI Regulation No.7/2015.

MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 on Telecommunication Service Operations.

Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004 on the Supervision of Healthy Competition in the Provision of Fixed Network and Basic Telephony Services.

MoCI Regulation No.14/2018 on the Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications.

85


On October 18, 2019, MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 (as amended by MoCI Regulation No.1 of 2021 on the Second Amendment to MoCI Regulation No.13/2019) on Implementation of Telecommunication Services ("MoCI Regulation No.13/2019, as amended"), which harmonizes several aspects in the telecommunications services regime. This new rule amends MoCI Regulation No.8/2015.

On February 2, 2021, the Government issued GR No.46/2021 as an implementing regulation for the Omnibus Law. Such regulation regulates, among other things, the basic framework for the provision of telecommunication services in Indonesia, telecommunication infrastructure sharing, the renting and/or utilization of telecommunication networks, standards applicable to telecommunication devices, and the broadcasting industry (including migration to fully-digital broadcasting).

Telecommunications Regulators

The authority to regulate the telecommunications industry is held by the MoCI. Pursuant to authorities assigned to him under the Telecommunications Law, the Minister of Communication and Informatics sets policies, regulates, supervises and controls the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. The DGPI regulates the postal and telecommunications sectors in Indonesia, including with respect to licensing, numbering, interconnection, universal service obligation and business competition. The Directorate General of Posts and Informatics Resources and Equipment of the MoCI ("DGRE") regulates matters relating to radio frequency spectrum and standardization of telecommunications equipment in Indonesia.

On July 11, 2003, MoCI promulgated the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority Regulation, in which, it delegated its authority to regulate, supervise and control the Indonesian telecommunications sector to the ITRA, while maintaining the authority to formulate policies for the industry. The ITRA was chaired by the DGPI and comprised nine members, including six members of the public and three members selected from Government institutions (a representative member from DGRE, the DGPI and a Government representative appointed by MoCI), until the Government dissolved it in 2020, based on Presidential Decree No.112 of 2020. ITRA's former duties and functions are now assumed by the DGPI as set out in MoCI Regulation No.1 of 2021.

Classification and Licensing of Telecommunications Providers

The Telecommunications Law organized telecommunications services into following three categories: (i) provision of telecommunications networks; (ii) provision of telecommunications services; and (iii) provision of special telecommunications services.

Licenses issued by MoCI are required for each category of telecommunications services. MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 and Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.21/2001, which was last amended by MoCI Regulation No.8/2015, (on operation of telecommunications services), are the principal implementing regulations governing licensing.

On MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 classified network operations into fixed and mobile networks. Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.21/2001, as amended, categorized the provision of services into basic telephony services, value added telephony services, and multimedia services.

IDD Services

We have a license to provide IDD services under MoCI Decree No.846/2016. We offer IDD fixed line services to customers using the "007" IDD access code.

86


Cellular

Cellular telephone service is provided in Indonesia on radio frequency spectrum in the 1.8 GHz (neutral technology), 2.1 GHz (neutral technology), 900 MHz (neutral technology) and 2.3 GHz (BWA/TDD). The MoCI regulates the use and allocation of radio frequency spectrum for mobile cellular networks. Telkomsel has obtained frequency allocation for cellular services on the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, and 2.3 GHz frequencies. The allocation of frequency is regulated by:

MoCI Decree No.549 of 2019 (on the determination of Radio Frequency Bands as a Result of Rearrangement of Radio Frequency Bands of 800 MHz and 900 MHz for the Implementation of Cellular Mobile Networks);

MoCI Decree No.1164 of 2015 (on the Stipulation of the Use of the 1800 MHz Radio Frequency Band in the 1762.5 - 1785 MHz Radio Frequency Range Paired with 1857.5 - 1880 MHz for PT Telekomunikasi Selular);

MoCI Decree No.620 of 2020 (on the Correct Amount and Payment Due Date for Radio Frequency Spectrum Usage Fees in the Tenth Year for Radio Frequency Band Licensing for the Operation of Cellular Mobile Networks on the 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz Radio Frequency Bands by PT Telekomunikasi Selular);

MoCI Decree No.356 of 2018 (on the Determination of Radio Frequency Bands Resulting from the Refarming of 2.1 GHz Radio Frequency Bands for the Implementation of Cellular Mobile Networks);

MoCI Decree No.806 of 2019 (on the Extension of the Determination of the 2.1 GHz Radio Frequency Band in the 1935 - 1940 MHz Range paired with 2125 - 2130 MHz Range of PT Telekomunikasi Selular); and

MoCI Decree No.1896 of 2017 (on the Establishment of PT Telekomunikasi Selular as the Winner of 2.3 GHz Radio Frequency Band User Selection in 2017 for the Implementation of Cellular Mobile Networks).

Interconnection

The Telecommunications Law expressly prohibits monopolistic and unfair business practices and requires network providers to allow users to access other users or obtain services from other networks by paying interconnection fees agreed upon by each network operator. Government Regulation No.52/2000 (on telecommunications services) provides that interconnection charges between two or more network operators must be transparent, mutually agreed upon and fair.

On February 8, 2006, the MoCI issued Regulation No.8/PER/M.KOMINFO/02/2006 on Interconnection ("MoCI Regulation No.8/2006"), which mandated a cost-based interconnection tariff scheme for all network and services operators and replaced the previous revenue-sharing scheme. Under the new scheme, interconnection charges are determined by the network operator which terminates the call based on a long-run incremental cost formula. MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 requires operators to submit to the ITRA annual RIO proposals containing proposed interconnection tariffs for the coming year. Operators are required to use the cost-based methodology in preparing RIO proposals, and the ITRA and MoCI are required to use the same methodology in evaluating the RIO proposals and approving interconnection tariffs.

Pursuant to MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 and ITRA Letter No.246/BRTI/VIII/2007, we submitted a RIO proposal to the ITRA in October 2007, which covered adjustments for operational, configuration, technical and service offerings. In December 2007, we and all other network operators signed new interconnection agreements that superseded previous interconnection agreements between us and other network operators, and also amended all interconnection agreements signed in December 2006.

87


On February 5, 2008, the ITRA required that we and other operators begin implementing the cost-based interconnection tariff regime. New interconnection charges were implemented as stipulated in ITRA Letter No.227/BRTI/XII/2010 (on the implementation of interconnection charges) in 2011. This was the result of interconnection charges recalculation conducted in 2010 by MoCI that was agreed upon by all operators and outlined in a memorandum of understanding.

On December 12, 2011, the ITRA changed the SMS interconnection fee basis from a "Sender Keep All" basis to a cost basis interconnection fee calculation, which required certain amendments to RIOs agreed upon in 2011. MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 stipulates that the RIO of telecommunications network operators generating operating revenue that is equal to or more than 25% of total revenues of all telecommunications operators that serve the same respective segment, must obtain the ITRA's approval, necessitating changes in our and Telkomsel's RIOs which were approved on June 20, 2012. ITRB in its letters No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 approved our and Telkomsel's revisions of RIOs regarding the interconnection tariff. Based on the letter, ITRB also approved the changes to the SMS interconnection tariff to Rp24 per SMS. As of the date hereof, no recalculation of interconnection fees for 2014 had been carried out as doing so would have been preceded by an evaluation on interconnection charges in 2013.

VoIP

In January 2007, the Government implemented interconnection regulations and a five-digit access code system for VoIP services pursuant to MoCI Decree No.06/P/M.KOMINFO/5/2005 ("MoCI Decree No.6/2005"). Under MoCI Decree No.6/2005, the prefix for VoIP, which was originally 01X, was changed to 010XY. On April 27, 2011, the MoCI issued Regulation No.14/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2011, as partly revoked by MoCI Regulation No.11 of 2014 and MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, as amended, which imposed quality control standards in relation to VoIP services on VoIP providers and this became effective three months thereafter, to which we and other operators must adhere.

IPTV

The IPTV business is regulated by MoCI Regulation No.13/2019, as amended. Government Regulation No.52/2005 (on broadcasting implementation of the broadcasting subscription institute) provides that subscription based broadcasting can be conducted using satellites, cables and terrestrial transmitters. Broadcasting using satellite can have a nationwide range, while cables and terrestrial transmitters can only cover a particular region. Under MOCI Regulation No.13/2019, as amended, IPTV is a type of service that combines radio and television, video, audio, text and data services broadcast over an internet protocol network with guaranteed level of quality, security and reliability, and that also provides for two-way or interactive communication between the service provider and customers.

On April 27, 2011, we and PT Indonusa Telemedia, formerly known as TelkomVision ("Indonusa") as a consortium obtained a license to operate IPTV services. Since February 25, 2021, we individually hold an IPTV Telecommunication Service Operation License, so that we may offer a wider range of multimedia services.

Satellite

In Indonesia, the use of radio spectrum frequency for satellite is governed under MoCI Regulation No.21 of 2014 on the Use of Radio Frequency Spectrum for Satellite Service and Satellite Orbit ("MoCI Regulation No.21/2014"). MoCI Regulation No.21/2014 requires foreign satellite operators to obtain a landing right license to operate in Indonesia which requires such foreign satellite operators to coordinate with domestic satellite operators, including us, to ensure that no Indonesian satellite and terrestrial systems will be disrupted by their operation. As recently introduced by GR No.46/2021, subject to MoCI's approval, spectrum allocations can be re-assigned to different telecommunication network operators, which was previously only possible in the event of a merger or acquisition.

88


Consumer Protection

Under the Telecommunications Law, each network provider is required to protect consumer rights in relation to, among others, quality of services, tariffs, and compensation. Customers injured or damaged by negligent operations may file claims against negligent providers. Telecommunications consumer protection regulations provide service standards for telecommunications operators.

USO

All telecommunications operators, whether network or service providers, are bound by a USO regulation that requires them to assist in providing telecommunications facilities and infrastructure for the interest of offering equal access to telecommunications throughout all regions of Indonesia, which telecommunications operators generally do by way of financial contribution. MoCI Regulation No.10/2018 stipulated, among others, that when selecting a provider of telecommunications access and services in rural areas (as part of the Government's USO program), the selection process would be conducted by the Rural Telecommunications and Informatics Center (Balai Telekomunikasi dan Informatika Pedesaan or "BTIP"). Subsequent regulations renamed BTIP the Telecommunications and Information Accessibility Agency (Badan Aksesibilitas Telekomunikasi dan Informasi or "BAKTI").

USO payment requirements are calculated as a percentage of our and Telkomsel's unconsolidated gross revenues, net of bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges. Pursuant to GR No.80/2015, the USO tariff rate as of the date hereof is 1.25% of gross revenue, net of bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges. In September 2016, the MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No.17/2016 (on guideline of the implementation of tariffs for non-tax state revenue applicable to the USO), as amended by MoCI Regulation No.19/2016, effective as of November 4, 2016 ("MoCI Regulation No.19/2016"). Pursuant to such regulation, certain revenues are excluded from the computation of the gross revenues used for purposes of assessing the USO charged to telecommunications operators.

Telecommunications Regulatory Charges

On November 9, 2015, the Government issued GR No.80/2015 which sets the types of non-tax state revenues that apply to the MoCI derived from various services, including telecommunications.

Based on GR No.80/2015, an upfront fee is paid at twice the amount of the offering price submitted by each bidding process winner, while an annual license fee for telecommunications operations is paid based on the amount of the lowest offering price from the bidding process winner. The MoCI stipulates the amount and timing of payment for the radio frequency spectrum right of use.

Further, telecommunications equipment and devices for research, development, education and disaster handling purposes can be used after obtaining a utilization period statement letter. After the utilization period as set out in the statement letter has expired, the respective equipment and devices which will be re-used for its original purposes must be certificated, subject to a 50% certification fee. Telecommunications equipment and devices with a local content in excess of 50% are charged a certification fee equal to 50% of the regular certification fee and a testing fee as set out in GR No.80/2015.

Under GR No. 80/2015, the following amounts can be deducted from the gross revenue used as the basis for assessing the telecommunications right of use fee: (i) receivables which have been written off in connection with telecommunications operations and (ii) interconnection fee obligation and/or the interconnectedness received by the telecommunications operator, which is the right of use of another party. These deductions are further governed by a MoCI regulation.

89


Telecommunications Towers

Operating telecommunications towers involves a number of relevant Government bodies. On March 30, 2009, the Minister of Home Affairs Regulation No.18/2009, Minister of Public Works Regulation No.07/PRT/M/2009, MoCI Regulation No.19/PER.M.KOMINFO/03/2009 and Head of the Investment Coordinating Board Regulation No.3/P/2009 (on guidelines for the construction and shared use of telecommunications towers) (together, "Tower Construction Joint Decree") were issued effectively representing a joint regulation.

Based on the Tower Construction Joint Decree, the construction of telecommunications towers requires construction permits from the relevant governmental authorities. The Tower Construction Joint Decree also stipulates that the construction of telecommunications towers must observe the zoning and spatial planning applicable in the relevant region of Indonesia. The Tower Construction Joint Decree states that the license for telecommunications tower construction is to be issued by regents or mayors, and for Jakarta Province, its Governor. The Tower Construction Joint Decree also provides for tower construction standards and requires that telecommunications towers be made generally available for shared use by telecommunications service providers. The owner of a telecommunications tower is allowed to collect a fee, which is determined by reference to investment and operational costs, return on investment and profits earned. Monopolistic practices in the ownership and management of telecommunications towers are prohibited. The Tower Construction Joint Decree stipulates that telecommunications providers that own telecommunications towers and other tower owners are obligated to allow other telecommunications operators to utilize their telecommunications towers without discrimination, with due regards to the technical capacity of the respective tower.

Under GR No.46/2021, a telecommunication service provider that have passive telecommunication infrastructure (including telecommunication towers) has to give access to such infrastructure to other telecommunication providers. GR No.46/2021 states that such use of passive telecommunication infrastructure must be based on cooperation and mutual agreement between the parties involved in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminative manner. The terms and conditions of any such cooperation agreement to be entered into by telecommunication players still remain to be seen, pending the issuance of further guidelines from the MoCI (if any).

Content Provider Service

Content provider service is regulated by MoCI in accordance with MoCI Regulation No. 13/2019, as amended.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Form 20-F. These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

A discussion of the changes in our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, has been omitted from this Form 20-F, but may be found in "Item 5. Operating and Financial Review, of the Telkom 2019 annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on June 15, 2020, which is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our website at www.telkom.co.id.

A.                         OPERATING RESULTS

Overview

We are the principal provider of local, domestic and international telecommunications services in Indonesia, as well as the leading provider of mobile cellular services through our majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. Our objective is to become the preferred digital telecommunications company in the region. As of December 31, 2020, we had approximately 169.5 million mobile cellular subscribers through Telkomsel, 9.1 million subscribers on our fixed wireline network, and 123.9 million broadband subscribers (consisting of 115.9 million mobile broadband subscribers and 8.0 million fixed broadband IndiHome subscribers). We also provide a wide range of other communication services, including telephone network, interconnection services, multimedia, data and internet communication-related services, satellite transponder leasing, leased line, intelligent network and related services, cable television and VoIP services. We also operate multimedia businesses such as content and applications. We intend to continue to cope with market and industry challenges that may arise from time to time by leveraging our customer base, network quality, brand name and strategic execution capabilities.

The Indonesian gross domestic product increased by 5.07% annually on average between 2016 and 2019 but the gross domestic product suffered a 2.07% contraction in 2020, according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (computed at constant market prices as at February 2021). This contraction in 2020 was mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. Inflation decreased from an average of 3.12% between 2016 and 2019 to 1.68% in 2020, according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. A decrease in the inflation rate due to depressed demand could create deflationary pressure making it more difficult to stimulate economic growth, which

93


in turn would affect our enterprise segment. Overall the decline in inflation did not materially affect our Company. The Rupiah depreciated from an average of Rp13,307 to one U.S. Dollar in 2016 to an average of Rp14,572 to one U.S. Dollar in 2020 and reached its lowest value against the U.S. Dollar in April 2020 at Rp16,741 to one U.S. Dollar, according to data from Bank Indonesia. Though the exposure of our Company and our subsidiaries to foreign exchange rates is not material, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are primarily denominated in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen.

See "Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk – Foreign Exchange Rate Risk."

The growth in our revenues in 2020 compared with 2019 was largely driven by increases in revenues from data, internet, and information technology services that increased by 8.4% and from IndiHome that increased by 21.2%.

Our operating results in 2020 compared with 2019 also reflected an increase in expenses. This increase was mainly driven by an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of 6.3% as a result of our infrastructure development to better serve our customers, particularly for internet and data services. The adoption of IFRS 16 (Amortization of Right-of-use Assets) also contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key performance indicators to monitor and manage our business. We use these indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. We believe these indicators provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner we do. The key indicators that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below:

Number of Fixed Broadband Subscribers

We track the number of our broadband subscribers (e.g., our IndiHome subscribers) as an indicator of our competitiveness and ability to capture increased or new revenue streams in the future, as we expect an increase in the use of broadband internet at home, a further diversification of digital services offered to customers, and the development and continuation of megatrends that favor an increase in the consumption of digital services.

94


Number of Mobile Broadband Subscribers

We track the number of our mobile cellular subscribers (through Telkomsel) as an indicator of competitiveness and ability to capture growth opportunities generated by increased consumption of internet data and digital services on cellular phones.

Number of BTS

We track the number of our BTS as an indicator of the strength and the competitiveness of our network. It is also an indicator of our ability to capture growth opportunities.

Operating Profit

Operating profit is equal to total revenues, primarily comprising telephone revenues, data, internet, and information technology service revenues, network revenues, IndiHome revenues, and other revenues, and total expenses, mainly comprising operations, maintenance, and telecommunications service expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, personnel expenses, marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, interconnection expenses, and other expenses. Changes in those line-items have a direct impact on our operating profit and depend on a variety of factors, as further discussed below under "– Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Profit for the Year

Profit for the year is equal to operating profit minus finance costs, plus finance income, share of profit/loss of associated companies, minus income tax and impairment of long-term investments in associated companies.

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Increase in Data, Internet, and Information Technology Services

In Indonesia mobile phones have become the primary tool for telecommunication, both for voice calls as well as in terms of internet usage. The growing popularity of smartphones has contributed to the growth of traffic in 2020. However, ARPU slightly decreased from approximately Rp46,000 in 2019 to approximately Rp44,000 in 2020. This decrease in ARPU was mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall Indonesian economy and our customers’ purchasing power which restricted their ability and/or willingness to purchase pricier packages.

The share of our revenue generated by data, internet, and information technology services revenues has been increasing in the last few years and accounted for 55.6% of our consolidated revenues for 2020.  A key driver of this trend is the increase in revenue from cellular internet and data.  

We expect that revenue from cellular internet and data will continue to increase and contribute to a larger portion of our consolidated revenues in line with an expected continued increase in the prevalence of smartphone usage in Indonesia. We also intend to increase such revenues by focusing our marketing efforts to encourage customers who only utilize mobile voice and SMS services to commence utilizing mobile broadband services. We also intend to continue our promotion of mobile package options in order to encourage existing mobile broadband services customers to increase their use of such services. In addition, we believe there is opportunity for growth in non-cellular internet, data communication and internet technology revenue, particularly through greater adoption of broadband internet at homes in Indonesia through our IndiHome service, as penetration of broadband internet at homes in Indonesia is still relatively low.

Increase in revenue generated by IndiHome

Since launch in 2015, the number of IndiHome subscribers has increased significantly. The number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 14.5% from 7.0 million subscribers in 2019 to 8.0 million subscribers in 2020. This increase drove an increase in revenue generated by IndiHome subscriptions.

95


We believe there is opportunity for further growth in revenue generated by IndiHome, particularly due to an increase in the use of broadband internet at home in Indonesia, as penetration of broadband internet at home in Indonesia is still relatively low. We seek to continue to increase such revenue as we continue to invest in improving our broadband infrastructure. We also continue to have promotions to encourage customers to buy various additional services, such as speed upgrades, additional set-top boxes, and the minipack package upgrade.

In addition, due to increased data consumption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and containment measures implemented by the Government and companies, such as work-from-home or study-from-home initiatives, and increased consumption of digital services such as online shopping, revenue generated by IndiHome increased in 2020.

Declining Legacy Cellular Telephone Revenues

The rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long-distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. Traditional cellular services, such as voice and SMS services, are subject to increasing competition from non-traditional telecommunications services, such as Over The Top products including instant voice, messaging services and other mobile services. As a result, our cellular telephone revenues, which comprise usage charges and monthly subscription charges for mobile voice and SMS services, have flattened in recent years, and in 2017 began to decline. We expect that such revenues will continue to decline in the future. Our cellular telephone revenues decreased by 30.4% from Rp27,907 billion in 2019 to Rp19,427 billion in 2020. In addition, we also expect that the contribution of revenues from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenues will continue to decrease in the future, as we expect that contribution from data, internet and information technology services will continue to grow and comprise a greater percentage of our consolidated revenues in the future. Our revenues from cellular phone services accounted for 14.2% of our consolidated revenues for 2020 compared to 20.6% for 2019. See "Item 3 Key Information Risk Factors Risks Related to our Business Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular Telecommunications Business."

Variations in operation and maintenance expenses

Our operation and maintenance expenses primarily comprise expenses associated with network maintenance to improve our mobile cellular and fixed broadband services. In 2020, our operations and maintenance expenses decreased compared to 2019. We expect that our operation and maintenance expenses will remain relatively stable or increase slightly in the future in line with our expected growth in subscribers and traffic as well as the investments that we intend to make to continue developing our network infrastructure, particularly for internet and data service, in order to increase in our network capacities to better serve our customers. Our operation and maintenance expenses decreased by 2.3%, from Rp20,417 billion in 2019 to Rp19,956 billion in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to more selective investments and delays in the incurrence of certain expenses related to projects delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increase in Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. Our technology can become obsolete faster than expected. We also need to acquire new technologies necessary to compete under rapidly evolving circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. In 2019, the adoption of IFRS 16 (Amortization of Right-of-use Assets) also contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We expect depreciation and amortization expenses will increase in the future due to the development of our network for improving broadband services we provide for both mobile and fixed broadband.

Please note that the above table should be read in conjunction with the below discussion on comparability of financial information of and for the financial years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See "— New Standards and Interpretations."

Financial Overview

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared to year ended December 31, 2019

Revenues

Total revenues increased by Rp890 billion, or 0.7%, from Rp135,557 billion in 2019 to Rp136,447 billion (US$9,712 million) in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in data, internet and information technology service revenues, IndiHome revenues, and interconnection revenues but was partially offset by a decrease in cellular telephone revenues, SMS revenues and other revenues.

a.        Cellular Telephone Revenues

Cellular telephone revenues represented 14.2% of our consolidated revenue in 2020. Cellular revenues decreased by Rp8,480 billion, or 30.4%, from Rp27,907 billion in 2019 to Rp19,427 billion (US$1,383 million) in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in usage of voice services because customers increasingly choose to use non-traditional telecommunications services, such as Over the Top services, as an alternative to voice services.

98


b.        Fixed Line Telephone Revenues

Fixed line telephone revenues decreased by Rp817 billion, or 27.2%, from Rp3,000 billion in 2019 to Rp2,183 billion (US$155 million) in 2020. This decrease in fixed line telephone revenues was primarily due to a decrease in voice service usage due to competing other cellular services.  

c.           Interconnection Revenues

Interconnection revenues comprise interconnection revenues from our fixed line network and interconnection revenues from Telkomsel's mobile cellular network, including incoming international long-distance revenues from our IDD service (TIC-007).

Interconnection revenues increased by Rp1,396 billion, or 22.2%, from Rp6,290 billion in 2019 to Rp7,686 billion (US$547 million) in 2020, primarily due to an increase in voice wholesale traffic between countries and SMS A2P (application to person) services.

d.           Data, Internet and Information Technology Service Revenues

Our data, internet and information technology service revenues accounted for 55.6% of our consolidated revenues in 2020, compared to 51.6% in 2019. Data, internet and information technology service revenues increased by Rp5,903 billion, or 8.4%, from Rp69,913 billion in 2019 to Rp75,816 billion (US$5,396 million) in 2020. This increase was primarily due to:

an increase in cellular internet and data revenues by Rp6,644 billion, or 12.6%, from Rp52,858 billion in 2019 to Rp59,502 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in mobile broadband subscribers from 110.3 million subscribers as of December 31, 2019 to 115.9 million subscribers as of December 31, 2020. The increase in such revenues also reflected increased mobile traffic data due to the impact of COVID-19 on customers' habits (for instance increased use of digital services). For additional information on factors driving the growth of our cellular internet and data revenues, see "— Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Increase in Data, Internet, and Information Technology Services;"

an increase in other data and internet revenues by Rp724 billion, or 70.4%, from Rp1,029 billion in 2019 to Rp1,753 billion in 2020, primarily due to an increase in volume of collocation data center and value added services; and

an increase in internet, data communication and information technology service revenues by Rp672 billion, or 7.4%, from Rp9,072 billion in 2019 to Rp9,744 billion in 2020, primarily due to an increase in volumes of enterprise solutions services such as enterprise connectivity and IT services.

Such increases were partially offset by a decrease in SMS revenues of Rp2,137 billion, or 30.7%, from Rp6,954 billion in 2019 to Rp4,817 billion in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to increased competition from non-traditional telecommunications services, such as Over The Top products including instant voice, messaging services and other mobile services.

e.           Network Revenues

Network revenues decreased by Rp174 billion, or 9.4%, from Rp1,845 billion in 2019 to Rp1,671 billion (US$119 million) in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in leased lined and VSAT revenue from the enterprise segment due to lower demand as a consequence to the COVID-19 pandemic.

99


f.           IndiHome Revenues

IndiHome revenues increased by Rp3,889 billion, or 21.2%, from Rp18,325 billion in 2019 to Rp22,214 billion (US$1,581 million) in 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the number of fixed broadband subscribers from 7.0 million as of December 31, 2019 to 8.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Data traffic of IndiHome increased from 13.7 million terabytes in 2019 to 24.5 million terabytes in 2020. The increase in such revenues also reflected increased mobile traffic data due to the impact of COVID-19 on customers' habits (for instance increased use of digital services and more generally the internet during periods customers studied or worked from home).

g.           Other Services

In 2020, revenues from other services decreased by Rp1,865 billion, or 26.5%, from Rp7,038 billion in 2019 to Rp5,173 billion (US$368 million) in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to:

a decrease in revenues from sales of peripherals by Rp1,109 billion, or 100.0%, from Rp1,109 billion in 2019. This decrease was in line with our business strategies to adapt our product mix so as to reduce the share of our revenue sourced from the sale of lower margin products such as hardware products. We were also more selective in terms of our partners' portfolio and ceased sales to certain partners whose creditworthiness we had found questionable;

a decrease in others revenues by Rp382 billion, or 16.1%, from Rp2,369 billion in 2019 to Rp1,987 billion in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in sales of device and construction revenue from TelkomInfra; and

a decrease in management service and terminal revenues by Rp379 billion, or 22.7%, from Rp1,672 billion in 2019 to Rp1,293 billion in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in management service revenues from the enterprise segment due to delayed projects as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decrease was also in line with our business strategy to adapt our product mix so as to reduce the share of our revenue sourced from the sale of lower margin products such as hardware products.

h.           Revenues from Lessor Transactions

Revenues from lessor transaction increased by Rp1,038 billion or 83.8% from Rp1,239 billion in 2019 to Rp2,277 billion (US$162 million) in 2020. This increase resulted primarily from increased rental revenues from the telecommunication towers, which reflected an increase in the number of tenants.

Expenses

Total expenses increased by Rp596 billion, or 0.6%, from Rp92,901 billion in 2019 to Rp93,497 billion (US$6,655 million) in 2020. This increase in expenses was attributable primarily to increases in depreciation and amortization.

a.           Operation, Maintenance, and Telecommunications Service Expenses

Operation, maintenance, and telecommunications service expenses decreased by Rp2,878 billion, or 7.7%, from Rp37,453 billion in 2019 to Rp34,575 billion (US$2,461 million) in 2020.

This decrease in operation, maintenance and telecommunications service expenses was primarily attributable to:

a decrease in leased line and CPE expenses by Rp1,356 billion, or 28.8%, from Rp4,709 billion in 2019 to Rp3,353 billion in 2020, in line with the decrease in network revenue and also as a result of the

100


implementation of our business strategies to adapt our product mix so as to reduce the share of our revenue sourced from the sale of lower margin products such as hardware products;

a decrease in the cost of sales of peripheral by Rp1,052 billion, or 94.9%, from Rp1,109 billion in 2019 to Rp57 billion in 2020, primarily due to a decrease in sales of handsets by our subsidiary PINS, which reflected a decrease in demand for such products;  and

a decrease in operation and maintenance expenses by Rp461 billion, or 2.3%, from Rp20,417 billion in 2019 to Rp19,956 billion in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a number of projects delayed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

b.           Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by Rp1,721 billion, or 6.3%, from Rp27,204 billion in 2019 to Rp28,925 billion (US$2,059 million) in 2020 in line with the development of our network infrastructure both for our mobile and fixed businesses, whose related assets are subject to depreciation and amortization.

c.           Personnel Expenses

Personnel expenses increased by Rp1,378 billion, or 10.6%, from Rp13,012 billion in 2019 to Rp14,390 billion (US$1,024 million) in 2020. This increase was primarily due to:

a 22.1% increase in vacation pay, incentives and other benefits to our employees in the amount of Rp783 billion, from Rp3,538 in 2019 to Rp4,321 billion in 2020; and

an increase in salaries and related benefit by Rp327 billion or 4.1% from Rp7,945 billion to 2019 to Rp8,272 billion in 2020.

Such increase was primarily due to an increase in the total number of employees.

d.           Marketing Expenses

Marketing expenses increased by Rp66 billion, or 1.9%, from Rp3,416 billion in 2019 to Rp3,482 billion (US$248 million) in 2020.  This increase was primarily due to increased advertising and promotions expense in the amount of Rp44 billion.  

e.           General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by Rp357 billion, or 5.8%, from Rp6,207 billion in 2019 to Rp6,564 billion (US$467 million) in 2020, primarily due to a 21.3% increase in the allowance for expected credit losses in the amount of  Rp445 billion from Rp1,899 billion in 2019 to Rp2,344 billion in 2020. This increase in the allowance for expected credit losses was primarily due to the expected negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers' creditworthiness.

f.           Interconnection Expenses

Interconnection expenses increased by Rp329 billion, or 6.5%, from Rp5,077 billion in 2019 to Rp5,406 billion (US$385 million) in 2020, reflecting our strategic focus on increasing interconnection revenue.

101


g.           Gains (Losses) on Foreign Exchange - net

We had a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp86 billion (US$6 million) in 2020 compared with a loss on foreign exchange-net of Rp89 billion in 2019.

h.           Other Income - net

Other income increased by Rp44 billion, or 4.9%, from Rp895 billion in 2019 to Rp939 billion (US$66 million) in 2020, primarily due to proceeds from insurance claims on lost and broken property and equipment, in the aggregate amount of Rp234 billion in 2020.

Operating Profit and Operating Profit Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our operating profit decreased by Rp36 billion, or 0.1%, from Rp43,994 billion in 2019 to Rp43,958 billion (US$3,128 million) in 2020. Our operating profit margin decreased from 32.5% in 2019 to 32.2% in 2020.

Finance Income

Finance income decreased by Rp296 billion or 27.0%, from Rp1,095 billion in 2019 to Rp799 billion (US$57 million) in 2020, due to lower interest rates.  

Finance Costs

Finance costs decreased by Rp850 billion or 15.6%, from Rp5,452 billion in 2019 to Rp4,602 billion (US$328 million) in 2020, in line with decreased bank interest rates.

Impairment of Long-term Investment in Associated Companies

We had an impairment of long-term investment in associated companies of Rp763 billion (US$54 million) in 2020 primarily due to the full impairment of our investments in PT Tiphone Mobile Indonesia Tbk ("Tiphone")  and PT Indonusa Telemedia ("Indonusa Telemedia), with fair value in 2019 of Rp526 billion and Rp210 billion respectively. The impairment of our investment in Tiphone was driven by the suspension of trading in Tiphone's stock in June 2020, the deterioration of Tiphone's financial condition and growing concerns as to the business continuity of this associated company. The impairment of our investment in Indonusa Telemedia resulted from this entity having an equity deficit.

Profit before Income Tax and Pre-tax Profit Margin

As a result of the foregoing, our profit before income tax increased by Rp848 billion, or 2.2%, from Rp38,299 billion in 2019 to Rp39,147 billion (US$2,786 million) in 2020. Our pre-tax profit margin was 28.3% for 2019 and 28.7% for 2020.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit

Our income tax expense decreased by Rp1,182 billion, or 11.3%, from Rp10,439 billion in 2019 to Rp9,257 billion (US$659 million) in 2020, as a result of the fiscal stimulus from the Government which decided to lower corporate income taxes, among other measures, to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia.

Other Comprehensive Income (Losses) – Net

We recorded other comprehensive expenses of Rp3,581 billion (US$255 million) for 2020 compared to other comprehensive income of Rp2,189 billion for 2019, primarily due to actuarial losses of Rp3,596 billion recognized in 2020 relating to our Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("DBPP").

102


Total Comprehensive Income for the Year

Please note that the above table should be read in conjunction with the below discussion on comparability of financial information of and for the financial years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. See "— New Standards and Interpretation." See also "— Financial Overview — Year ended December 31, 2019 compared to year ended December 31, 2018" in Item 5 to our annual report on Form 20-F for the financial year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on June 15, 2020 and available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our website at www.telkom.co.id.    

Year ended December 31, 2020 compared to year ended December 31, 2019

Mobile Segment

Our mobile segment revenues decreased by Rp4,177 billion, or 4.8%, from Rp87,897 billion in 2019 to Rp83,720 billion in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to:

104


a decrease in cellular service revenues by Rp8,480 billion, or 30.4%, primarily reflecting a decrease in revenue from voice services due to customers choosing to use non-traditional telecommunications services, such as Over the Top services, as an alternative to voice services; and

a decrease in SMS revenues by Rp2,178 billion, or 33.2%, primarily reflecting the impact of increasing competition from non-traditional telecommunications services, such as Over the Top products including instant voice, messaging services and other mobile services.

This decrease were partially offset by an increase in in data, internet and information technology services revenue, resulting from an increase in cellular and data revenues by Rp6,644 billion, or 12.6% in 2020 compare with 2019. This increase in cellular and data revenues was primarily due to an increase in the number of mobile broadband subscribers from 110.3 million subscribers as of December 31, 2019 to 115.9 million subscribers as of December 31, 2020. Mobile data traffic increase by 43.8% from 6.7 million terabytes to 9.7 million terabytes.

Our mobile segment expenses decreased by Rp684 billion, or 1.7%, from Rp41,019 billion in 2019 to Rp40,335 billion in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operation, maintenance and telecommunications service expenses by Rp4,318 billion or 24.4%, mainly related to lower expenses relating to telecommunication towers after the sale of part of Telkomsel’s telecommunication tower portfolio to Mitratel.

This decrease in our mobile expenses was partially offset by:  

an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by Rp3,117 billion, or 22.5%, primarily due to an increase in property and equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 2020; and

an increase in personnel expenses by Rp531 billion, or 10.8%, mainly reflecting an increase in salary and other benefits.

Consumer Segment

Our consumer segment revenues increased by Rp3,251 billion, or 18.4%, from Rp17,706 billion in 2019 to Rp20,957 billion in 2020, primarily due to an increase in IndiHome revenues by Rp3,744 billion, or 23.3%, resulting from an increase in the number of IndiHome subscribers from 7.0 million as of December 31, 2019 to 8.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Data traffic of IndiHome increased from 13.7 million terabytes in 2019 to 24.5 million terabytes in 2020, reflecting increase usage of digital services and of the internet by customers, in particular as a consequence of changing habits due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related measures implemented by the Government (for instance working-from-home or study-from-home initiative).  

The increase in our consumer segment revenues was partially offset by a decrease in fixed line telephone revenues by Rp493 billion, or 31.5%, primarily due to the decrease in the usage of voice service due to the competition of other cellular services.

Our consumer segment expenses increased by Rp144 billion, or 1.2%, from Rp11,577 billion in 2019 to Rp11,721 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization by Rp487 billion, or 14.2%, due to an increase in property and equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 2020.

The increase in our consumer segment expenses was partially offset by a decrease in marketing expenses by Rp261 billion, or 30.6%, due to more selective marketing programs in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.

105


Enterprise Segment

Our enterprise segment revenues decreased by Rp972 billion, or 5.2%, from Rp18,701 billion in 2019 to Rp17,729 billion in 2020, primarily due to:

a decrease in other services revenues by Rp1,414 billion, or 24.8%, primarily due to a decrease in sales of peripheral revenues by Rp1,109 billion or 100.0% and a decrease in manage service and terminal revenues by Rp379 billion or 22.7%. This decrease reflected the implementation of our business strategy to adapt our product mix so as to reduce the share of our revenue sourced from the sale of lower margin products such as hardware products. We were also more selective in terms of our partners' portfolio and ceased sales of peripherals to certain partners whose creditworthiness we had found questionable; and
a decrease in fixed line telephone revenues by Rp310 billion, or 27.0%, primarily due to the decrease in the usage of voice service due to the competition of other cellular services.

This decrease was partially offset by an increase in data, internet and information technology services revenues by Rp773 billion, or 8.9%, primarily due to an increase in internet, data communication and information technology services revenues by Rp351 billion, or 4.5% and other revenues by Rp381 billion, or 68.3%. Such increases reflected our strategic focus on business lines which tend to generate recurring revenue streams and to be profitable, especially those that provide enterprise solutions services such as enterprise connectivity, data center and cloud services.  

Our enterprise segment expenses decreased by Rp1.318 billion, or 6.3%, from Rp20,782 billion in 2019 to Rp19,464 billion in 2020. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in operation, maintenance, and telecommunications service expenses by Rp2,394 billion, or 24.1%, mainly reflecting a decrease in direct costs related to Customer Premises Equipment. This decrease in direct costs related to Customer Premises Equipment reflected the implementation of our business strategy to adapt our product mix so as to reduce the share of our revenue sourced from the sale of lower margin products such as Customer Premises Equipment, which in turn caused a decrease in direct costs related to such equipment.

This decrease in enterprise segment expenses was partially offset by:

an increase in general and administrative expenses by Rp526 billion, or 19.2%, primarily due to an increase in provision for doubtful account in current period, as a result of a perceived deterioration of the creditworthiness of certain customers in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic; and

an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by Rp472 billion, or 17.2%, primarily due to an increase in property and equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 2020.

Wholesale and International Business Segment

Our wholesale and international business segment revenues increased by Rp2,892 billion, or 27.3%, from Rp10,609 billion in 2019 to Rp13,501 billion in 2020, mainly due to:

an increase in interconnection revenues by Rp1,566 billion, or 27.4%, primarily due to an increase in voice wholesale traffic between countries and SMS A2P (application to person) services;
an increase in revenue from lessor transaction by Rp1,038 billion, or 83.8%, primarily due to an increase in revenue from tower lease rental which was in line with an increase in the number of tenants; and
an increase in data, internet and information technology services revenue by Rp571 billion, or 33.1%, primarily due to an increase in internet, data communication and information technology services by Rp325 billion or 24.3% from data centers managed by Telin.

106


This increase in wholesale and international business segment revenues was partially offset by a decrease in other telecommunications services revenues by Rp267 billion, or 36.5%. This decrease in other services revenues was primarily due to a decrease in others revenues by Rp188 billion, or 32.4%, which principally reflected decreased sales of devices, a decrease in construction revenue from TelkomInfra and a decrease in call center service revenues by Rp79 billion or 53.0%.

Our wholesale and international business segment expenses increased by Rp1,679 billion, or 10.7%, from Rp15,691 billion in 2019 to Rp17,370 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily due to:

an increase in depreciation and amortization expenses by Rp1,488 billion, or 45.6%, primarily due to an increase in property and equipment and intangible assets subject to depreciation and amortization in 2020; and

an increase in interconnection expenses by Rp988 billion, or 26.8%, in line with an increase in interconnection revenues.

The increase in our wholesale and international business segment expenses was partially offset by a decrease in operation, maintenance, and telecommunication service expenses by Rp1,219 billion, or 19.6%, due to a decrease in  operational expense of Telkom Infra in 2020.

Other Segment

Our other segment revenues increased by Rp22 billion, or 11.2%, from Rp197 billion in 2019 to Rp219 billion in 2020. This increase was primarily due to an increase in data, internet and information technology service revenues resulting from an increase in others services of Rp55 billion, or 64.7% related to our digital business.

Our other segment expenses increased by Rp169 billion, or 11.4% from Rp1,484 billion in 2019 to Rp1,653 billion in 2020, primarily due to an increase in operation, maintenance and telecommunications services expenses by Rp208 billion, or 16.7% mainly reflecting increased direct costs relating to business solutions and advertising incurred by Metranet.

B.                         LIQUIDITY

Liquidity Sources

The main source of our corporate liquidity is cash generated by operating activities and long-term and short-term loans under credit facilities available from banks. See "— Internal Liquidity Sources" and "— External Liquidity Sources" below for additional information. We aim to maintain a strong financial position and have enough liquidity for our operations and to support our growth. Our main cash requirements consist of operating expenses, cash payments relating to the acquisition of properties and purchase of equipment, repayment of borrowings from banks, payment of salaries, payment of cash dividends and corporate income tax. See "— Cash Flows" below for additional information. See also our consolidated statement of cash flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this annual report on Form 20-F. We seek to keep optimizing our balance sheet and financing capabilities.

We divide our liquidity sources into internal and external liquidity sources.

A.   Internal Liquidity Sources

To fulfill our obligations we rely primarily on our internal liquidity. As of December 31, 2020, we had Rp20,589 billion (US$1,465 million) in cash and cash equivalents available, representing an increase of Rp2,348 billion, or 12.9%, from Rp18,241 billion as of December 31, 2019.

107


Our internal liquidity strength is reflected in our current ratio, which we calculate as current assets divided by current liabilities. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, our current ratio was 0.67 and 0.68, respectively.

B.   External Liquidity Sources

Our primary external sources of liquidity are short and long-term bank loans, bonds and notes, other borrowings and two-step loans. We had external liquidity from loans and other borrowings of Rp64,722 billion as of December 31, 2020.

an increase in prepaid income taxes by Rp769 billion, or 248.1%, from Rp310 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,079 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in our subsidiaries corporate income tax;

an increase in other current financial assets by Rp749 billion, or 135.2%, from Rp554 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,303 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in time deposits of Rp920 billion;

an increase in contract assets by Rp407 billion, or 64.7%, from Rp629 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,036 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in Enterprise's contract assets from government customers in connection with the request to delay of the billing considering the reallocation of government's budget by them related to COVID-19 recovery program in 2020;  

an increase in inventory by Rp398 billion, or 68.0%, from Rp585 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp983 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in component, SIM cards and blank prepaid vouchers.  

This increase was partially offset by a decrease in our prepaid other taxes of Rp306 billion, or 9.4%, from Rp3,251 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp2,945 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in VAT payable by Telkom and its subsidiaries.

Current Liabilities

As of December 31, 2020, our current liabilities were Rp68,500 billion (US$4,875 million) compared to Rp61,349 billion as of December 31, 2019, an increase of Rp7,151 billion, or 11.7%. This increase was primarily due to:

an increase in trade and other payable of Rp3,253 billion, or 22.7%, from Rp14,324 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp17,577 billion as of December 31, 2020 due to an increase in trade payables to third parties;

an increase in short-term bank loans and current maturities of long-term liabilities of Rp1,833 billion, or 10.5%, from Rp17,451 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp19,284 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in short-term bank loans of Rp1,229 billion and an increase in current maturities of long-term liabilities of Rp604 billion. We primarily increased our short-term bank loans to have additional funds to use for working capital purposes. The increase in current maturities of long term liabilities was primarily due to an increase in current maturities of bank loans of  Rp2,214 billion and other borrowings of Rp413 billion. This increase was offset by a decrease in bonds and notes with maturity dates falling in 2020 of Rp2,013 billion;

an increase in accrued expenses of Rp1,504 billion, or 11.8%, from Rp12,761 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp14,265 billion as of December 31, 2020 due to an increase in accrued expenses for operation, maintenance and telecommunication services of Rp934 billion and an increase in salaries and benefit of Rp741 billion;

an increase in customers deposits of Rp735 billion, or 57.0%, from Rp1,289 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp2,024 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in incidental deposits from new IndiHome customers; and

111


an increase in contract liabilities of Rp402 billion, or 5.4%, from Rp7,430 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp7,832 billion as of December 31, 2020, primarily due to an increase in advances from enterprise customers of Rp623 billion.

This increase was partially offset by:

a decrease in other tax liabilities of Rp464 billion, or 24.6%, from Rp1,886 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,422 billion as of December 31, 2020, due to a Rp503 billion decrease in VAT payable by our subsidiaries; and

a decrease in current income tax liabilities of Rp254 billion, or 16.4%, from Rp1,545 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,291 billion as of December 31, 2020, due to a decrease in corporate income tax payable by Telkom by Rp245 billion.

Working Capital

As of December 31, 2020, our working capital, defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities as of the same date, decreased by Rp1,539 billion compared to our working capital as of December 31, 2019. As at December 31, 2020, our current assets were lower than our current liabilities, resulting in a current ratio, defined as our current assets divided by our current liabilities, of 0.68 as of December 31, 2020. We closely monitor our working capital and generally try to lower it to maintain it at an optimal level so that we may manage our working capital efficiently, without restricting our ability to meet our current liabilities. This decrease in working capital was primarily due to:

an increase in current assets of Rp5,612 billion, or 13.7%, from Rp40,917 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp46,529 billion as of December 31, 2020. See"— Current Assets."

an increase in current liabilities of Rp7,151 billion, or 11.7% from Rp61,349 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp68,500 billion as of December 31, 2020. See"—Current Liabilities."

We believe that our available cash, working capital, cash generated by future operations, and borrowings from banks and other financial institutions are sufficient for our present requirements. We expect that our working capital requirements will continue to be addressed by various funding sources, including cash from operating activities, bank loans and potential offerings of debt securities in the capital markets.

Source of Funds

We have historically funded our capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operations. In 2021, we expect that our capital expenditure to revenue ratio will range approximately from 24% to 27%. We expect that the most significant proportions of capital expenditure will be allocated to the development of infrastructure to support broadband services, both for mobile and fixed line broadband services. A portion of our capital expenditure is allocated to our subsidiaries, primarily to Telkomsel. We expect to fund the above commitments with our internal and external source of funds.

The realization and use of future capital expenditures may differ from the amounts indicated above due to various factors, including but not limited to changes in the Indonesian and global economy, the Rupiah/U.S. Dollar or other applicable foreign exchange rates, the availability of supply or vendor or other financing on terms acceptable to us, and also any technical or other problems in the implementation.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments, see Note 2.aa to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

114


New Standards and Interpretations

We have applied IFRS 16 (Leases) ("IFRS 16") since January 1, 2019. Previous financial years have not been restated following these changes in accounting policies. See Note 2.aa to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F. As a result, our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 are not directly and fully comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020.

IFRS 16 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease agreements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. IFRS 16 introduces a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

IFRS 16 supersedes a number of existing standards and interpretations, including IAS 17 (Leases), IFRIC 4 (Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease), SIC 15 (Operating Leases - Incentives), and SIC 27 (Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease). We elected to apply IFRS 16 by using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, we recognize the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

Under IAS 17 (Leases), lessees recognized a periodic lease expense over the lease term for operating leases. The adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in our consolidated future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases to be recognized as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. These amounts are adjusted for the effects of discounting and of the practical expedients available under the transition guidance for IFRS 16 that we selected.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for IFRS 16, which among other things, allows us to carryforward the historical lease assessments. This allowed us not to reassess our prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs.

Please see Note 2.l to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of IFRS 16. For other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet adopted in 2020 which have not been applied in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 39 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. For amendments to standards and interpretations adopted in 2020 which have not been applied in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 2.a. Such amendments had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

C.                         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

We are conducting research on access network infrastructure to find access technologies capable of delivering data to customers at higher speeds, with lower delays and better performance. Examples of such technologies include Next Generation PON, Software Defined Access Network, Fixed Mobile Convergence, Wi-Fi 6, and 5G. We consider digital connectivity as a key factor in ensuring Telkom will retain its leading position as a digital telecommunications player in Indonesia. We also conduct joint innovation activities that aim to enhance our current products and services while creating new business models to generate new streams of revenue. For example, we are actively developing and ramping up our 5G capabilities, remodeling our network for such technology and developing 5G use cases in collaboration with technology owners. In addition to closely collaborating with our partners to ensure we have the right 5G technology, architecture and network in place, we closely work with our sales and marketing department to assess Indonesian customers' needs and expectations in terms of 5G services and affordability.

115


Regarding infrastructure development, research and integration of the Defined Networking (SDN) transport software technology as a platform for smarter network automation is key to the development of our network strategy and design. This technology allows the development of network slicing to support the implementation of 5G transport. 5G transport requires not only greater network capacity, but also the differentiation of the quality of services according to the requirements set out for such telecommunications services. Network slicing is a technology that virtualizes multiple logical networks (called slices) on our infrastructure where resources or virtualized functions can be flexibly configured by demands of applications to satisfy their quality of service requirements. In addition, to support the implementation of retail, enterprise customer and wholesale services, as well as the development of IoT, we carry out research on IPv6-based service infrastructure, such as 64 translation technology, VPN64 service and reverse proxy. IPv6 is expected to be the next popular technology of the Internet Protocol, the communications protocol that provides an end-to-end networks reachability across the internet. It allows for much higher theoretical limits on the number of IP addresses than the current IPv4 system.

We also continue our research on infrastructure technology for telephone service nodes, high-speed internet service nodes and smart transport technology based on packet and optical technologies. The service nodes we research on are such as the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Session Border Controller (SBC) for telephony services, Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) and Policy Charging Control (PCC) for the control of high-speed internet service nodes. Those service node technologies have been evolving with the use of virtual technology that enhances speed, flexibility of deployment and operating efficiency. Our research, among other things, aims to identify and develop network technology that can improve customer experience in accessing and using media and telecommunications services. Therefore, we conducted research on triple play services, especially video services. We are constantly trying to identify the best technology for the use and development of IPTV and OTT video platforms, video conferencing platforms, infrastructure virtualization (virtual content delivery network & virtual set-top box) to provide the best quality of services.

We believe that our assessment and testing of future technologies and the IoT will contribute to our long-term success, particularly in terms of updating our knowledge developing our human capital. This may create opportunities for additional revenues and cost savings in the future. The Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), Narrow Band - IoT (NB-IoT) and 5G technology are among the technologies that we have begun to explore in relation to the IoT. The aim of our research is to pave the way towards a future in which smart factories, intelligent machines and networked processes are brought together to implement "Industry 4.0" initiatives. Our research has shown that the provision of space telecommunications infrastructure is increasingly important and therefore, we are studying non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite technology, high altitude platform stations (HAPs), drones and balloons.

As the main connectivity provider in the region, we are also concerned about cyber security and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that have been massively targeting ISPs and business customers in recent years. To mitigate the risk and to protect our valuable business customers from DDoS attacks, we have conducted research on and guided the implementation of carrier grade anti-DDoS solutions that can detect DDoS attacks and divert the traffics to a scrubbing system that will scrub the DDoS traffic and re-route clean traffic to our customers. As one of the main broadband internet service providers in Indonesia based on the number of subscribers and coverage, especially through our retail high-speed internet provider, IndiHome, we have conducted research on endpoint security, including Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We are also researching security mechanisms that can be deployed within our digital factory, so that security will be inherent in our DevSecOps (Development-Security-Operation) methodology in providing our digital applications for enriching our customer's digital lifestyle in a secured manner as smartphone use increases. We have also developed our internal Data Breach Management Recommendations which offer guidance for mitigating the financial and reputational impact of data breaches and cyber incidents. A "data breach" refers to an incident resulting in exposure to potential unauthorized access of personal data within the possession of an organization or under its control. Data breaches often lead to financial losses and a loss of consumer trust.  Hence, we must prevent and manage the risk of data breaches. The recommendations we have developed contain steps that should be considered and the parties that should be responsible for preventing and responding to data breaches involving our digital services.

116


Our research and development activities include our open innovation program where we aim to leverage the creativity of Indonesian digital technology entrepreneurs with the aim of integrating the products and services that they develop into our business. In practice, our products and services are designed and developed according to the needs of consumers in the current digital era. In connection with our efforts to develop such products and services, in 2019, we continued our Digital Amoeba and Indigo Creative Nation programs. Digital Amoeba aims to capture and accelerate innovation internally at Telkom and its subsidiaries. Indigo Creative Nation is Telkom's open innovation program in collaboration with digital startups to develop Indonesia's digital creative industry while developing Telkom's digital business portfolio. Our subsidiary, PT Metra Digital Investama, also known as MDI Ventures, manages and invests venture funds in potential digital startups. We also provide office facilities for nurturing creativity such as shared meeting rooms, classrooms and common areas for entrepreneurs which are known as Digital Innovation Lounges ("DILo") at 17 locations in Indonesia.

We conduct incubation and acceleration activities and provide mentorships to assist startups to develop and validate their customer, product, business model, and market validation. We occasionally provide seed financing in the form of equity to startups which we believe are commercially viable. We also support startups to commercialize their products and services and obtain follow-on funding. As at December 31, 2020, 51 teams were actively validating new products and new processes, with 23 projects prioritized for accelerated development to potentially integrate into our business portfolio. Since 2013, Indigo Creative Nation has incubated 183 startups. As of December 31, 2020, 110 startups had started commercial operations and an additional 23 startups had received funding from domestic and foreign investors. A number of startups have synergized with us in providing digital products and solutions such as Tees.id, Privy.ID, Run System, Opsigo, Goers, Doclink, Tyranix, Fishgator, Habibi Garden, Muslimlife, Bahaso and Verihubs. Examples of the synergies include the development of the Indonesia Tourism Exchange (ITX) using Opsigo, the development of Chat Aja applications using the Qiscus messaging platform, and the development of Jasa Marga's video analytics using Nodeflux products. In 2020, we have also contributed to the development of (i) an agriculture business ecosystem (including fishery) by Tribe Agree in participation with startups Habibi Garden and Fishgator to build technological modules for the monitoring and analysis of agricultural growth factors such as watering, fertilization, feeding and climate, (ii) contents for the Digital Pesantren together with startup Muslimlife, (iii) complementary contents for Pijar Mahir with startup Bahaso, (iv) the digitalization of SMEs with startup Tyranix, and (v) e-Health services with startup Doclink. Below are a few examples of synergies achieved with startups in which we invested in:

Privy.ID: Privy.ID provides digital signature services and fintech services. We have used Privy.ID products to accelerate our internal business processes and propose solutions to certain of our customers to accelerate their own business processes. The need for digital signature services has significantly increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to become the new norm for executing documents.

DocLink: DocLink provides home care services for people who have limited mobility. DocLink's service offering complements the telemedicine healthcare ecosystem that is being developed by Admedika, one of our subsidiaries that provides healthcare services.

Runsystem: Runsystem provides Enterprise Resource Planning platform to handle end-to-end business processes specifically suitable for medium and large companies.

117


Our subsidiary PT Metra Digital Investama ("MDI Ventures") handles various corporate venture capital initiatives. It identifies investment opportunities, raises funds, aims to create synergies, in particular with Telkom Group companies and businesses, and maximize value creation, manages a significant investment portfolio and provides operational assistance and advice to startups after investing in them. Based in Jakarta, MDI Ventures has operations in Singapore and the Silicon Valley. The focus of these investments is on high growth business verticals that are or will be able to deliver enhanced digital experience and best services to customers, such as financial technology, cloud computing, Big Data, health technology, E-commerce, or the Internet of Things, among others. In 2020, MDI invested in 15 new startups in Indonesia, India, Singapore, and the United States. Since 2016, MDI Ventures has invested in more than 50 startups in 12 countries. A number of these companies were the targets of mergers and acquisitions or even completed initial public offerings. MDI Ventures has collaborated with many Indonesian SOEs to build a digital ecosystem and accelerate the pace of digitalization of the Indonesian economy. MDI Ventures also collaborates with global investors to invest in global startups, and with global startup incubators and accelerators to support Telkom's Indigo Creative Nation program. As at the date hereof, MDI Ventures' fund management activities include managing the following funds (in addition to managing handling Telkom's fund management activities):

PT Telkomsel Mitra Inovasi's TMI Fund: this fund focuses on funding startups that can create synergies and value accretion for Telkomsel;

Centauri Fund: launched in collaboration with KB Financial Group (Kook Min Bank) from South Korea, this fund focuses on growth-stage startups. This fund seeks to support startups in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, especially in startup developing innovative technologies, including financial technology, E-commerce infrastructure, Software as a Service (SaaS), and Big Data; and

Arise Fund: launched in 2020 in collaboration with Finch Capital Netherlands and which mainly focuses on early-stage Indonesian startups developing innovative technologies.

In 2020, MDI Ventures and startups they collaborated with launched a website dedicated to educating people on COVID-19. This website (www.Indonesiabergerak.com) includes information on areas affected by the pandemic and allows users to report updates.

We believe our emphasis on a corporate culture of innovation allows us to respond quickly to market changes and customers' needs. For instance, in 2020 we have been collaborating with the Government to develop a contact tracing application, one of the tools used by the Government to limit the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. We have also developed another application to assist the Government and a pharmaceutical company to monitor deliveries of the COVID-19 vaccine, record relevant vaccine data, enable people to register themselves for vaccination and for identification of eligible vaccine recipients to support efficient distribution of the vaccine.

D.                         TREND INFORMATION

In spite of the current COVID-19 pandemic and declining use of voice and SMS services, we believe favorable external factors will support our ability to continue to drive revenue growth from both cellular and non-cellular data, internet and information technology services. The Indonesian GDP contracted by 2.07% in 2020, according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), after two decades of expansion. Almost all sectors of the Indonesian economy experienced negative growth during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, except for those related to essential goods and services, including the information and communication sector. According to the IMF, the Indonesian economy is expected to recover in 2021 as a number of countries, including Indonesia, roll out their national vaccination program. It is also expected to benefit from a demographic dividend which should have a positive impact on economic growth and its growing working population should result in an improvement in Indonesia's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) growth. The transition of the Indonesian economy toward digitalization, whose pace increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, is expected to continue in the future and spread across multiple sectors of the economy. While Indonesia is expected to benefit from digitalization, it will face key challenges in implementing its digitalization projects across multiple sectors such as logistics, education, healthcare, Government administration, finance and insurance. The Government expects that the improvement in digital technology will create job opportunities, increase efficiency in business operations, better services and unlock various markets by making them more accessible through digitalization.

The Government has established several national digitalization projects. The three main digitalization projects that have an impact on Telkom are the following:

Making Indonesia 4.0: This project offers an opportunity for Telkom to enter into partnerships with various manufacturing companies to provide IoT solutions.

One Data Indonesia: This project will enable the public sector to make data driven decisions. Therefore, we expect that this will provide opportunities for Telkom to propose and provide high volume data storage through data centers and cloud solutions with big data and analytic solutions.

Presidential Direction for Infrastructure Development: The Government's National Medium Term Development Plan 2020-2024 set out targets for Indonesia's digital transformation, including that 60% of districts (kecamatan) be covered by fixed broadband and 95% of villages (desa) be covered by mobile broadband by 2024.

In the shorter run, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have an effect on our results of business operations and financial condition in the financial year ending December 31, 2021. As at the date hereof, the potential economic impact on Indonesia and the global economy brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, subject to change and difficult to estimate or predict. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to the full extent of the potential impact on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Governments of many countries, including Indonesia, have imposed lock-down measures and travel restrictions in response to the pandemic. On March 31, 2020, by virtue of Presidential Decree No.11 of 2020, the President of Indonesia declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency (Darurat Kesehatan Masyarakat). Under certain conditions, regional governments are allowed to impose enhanced measures they consider necessary within the respective territory under their authority. For example, the regional government of the Jakarta Province (classified as a "red zone area", having been identified as an area of high COVID-19 transmission, and where Telkom's head office is located) has implemented enhanced PSBB measures, including restrictions on travel, transportation and use of public facilities, quarantines and work-from-home orders, as well as other social and physical distancing measures. In compliance with these initiatives, we also implemented protocols for safeguarding the health of our employees, preventing contagion and supporting our business continuity, including, among others, stopping non-essential travels, limiting gatherings in our corporate offices and branches, assigning teams to alternate work schedules or sites, and establishing work-from-home protocols.  

119


Governmental measures such as those described above have had a severe impact on economic activities and we expect that this will cause a decline in revenue in various business segments. In its projections dated January 2021, taking into account the anticipated negative impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and related containment measures, the IMF adjusted its initial projection of Indonesia's GDP growth from a 5.0% growth to a GDP contraction of 1.9% for the financial year ended December 31, 2020. We believe that consumer services and mobile services may prove resilient even in the context of economic downturns. We have witnessed that lock-down measures including travel restrictions and work-from-home orders have increased the use of our fixed and mobile broadband services as businesses and consumers carry out more online activities and transactions. However, we expect that the slowdown in overall economic growth will eventually have an effect on our results of operations and financial condition and we are in the process of implementing measures to address any changes in consumption. Our measures include managing network load and configuration to adapt to changes in traffic pattern, supply chain stabilization to ensure sufficient capacity, and providing support to customers to address their increasing demand for working collaboration, learning activities and entertainment.

E.                         OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of December 31, 2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that were reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

DIRECTORS AND SENIOR MANAGEMENT

In accordance with Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (as amended by the Job Creation Law) and OJK Rule No.33/POJK.04/2014 on the Board of Directors and the Board of Commissioners of Issuers or Public Companies ("OJK Rule No.33/2014"), we have a Board of Commissioners and a Board of Directors. These boards are separate and no individual may be a member of both boards.

The members of the Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors are elected and dismissed by shareholders' resolutions at a GMS. As stated in our Articles of Association, to be elected, candidates must be nominated and approved by the Government as the holder of the Dwiwarna Share. The term of office for each Commissioner and Director commences at the closing of the GMS which appoints such Commissioner or Director or such other time as specified by such GMS, and terminates at the closing of the fifth AGMS held after his/her appointment. Shareholders, through a GMS, have the right to discharge a Commissioner or Director at any time before the expiration of his/her term of office.

In 2020, in response to uncertainty created by the COVID-19 outbreak, we have increased the number of meetings our Board of Commissioners and Board of Directors and held most of those meetings virtually to increase our Company's ability to promptly react to new developments in the market and ensure the continuity and strength of our corporate governance and oversight. In support of the Government's program and initiatives to contain the COVID-19 outbreak and to better protect our employee, we established the Telkom Group’s COVID-19 Crisis Center Taskforce pursuant to President Director’s Decree No. SK.06/PS.000/COM-22/2020 dated March 20, 2021. Our Director of Human Capital Management is heading this taskforce whose main responsibility is to promptly respond to, and take necessary actions to handle any outbreak that may develop in the workplace or our close environment.

Each Commissioner is entitled to monthly remuneration and benefits. They are also entitled to bonuses based on our business performance and achievements.

Each Director is entitled to a remuneration consisting of a monthly salary and other allowances. Directors also receive an annual bonus based on our business performance and achievements.

C.                          BOARD PRACTICES

Our Board of Commissioners acts as our overall supervisory and monitoring body with principal functions including planning and development, operations and budgeting in compliance with our Articles of Association, and to carry out the mandate and resolutions of the AGMS and EGMS. The Board of Commissioners does not have the authority to run or manage our Company, except in the exceptional situation when all members of the Board of Directors are suspended for any reason. The Board of Commissioners provides advice and opinions to the AGMS with respect to financial reporting, business development, appointment of auditors, and other important and strategic matters related to corporate actions. The Board of Commissioners also reviews our work plan and budget, keeps abreast of our progress, and in case our Company gives an indication of any decline in the growth of our business immediately requests the Board of Directors to notify the shareholders and provides recommendations on measures for mitigation. Finally, the Board of Commissioners ensures that our corporate governance program is properly applied and maintained in accordance with the applicable regulations.

The Board of Commissioners is obliged to carry out its duties and responsibilities in accordance with our Articles of Association, decisions made during any AGMS and EGMS and applicable laws and regulations.

The Board of Commissioners is assisted by a Board of Commissioners Secretary as well as the Audit Committee, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee and the Planning and Risk Evaluation and Monitoring Committee.

Meetings of the Board of Commissioners are held once every month. The Board of Commissioners must hold joint meetings with the Board of Directors at least once every three months. Decisions at Board of Commissioners meetings are taken through a process of deliberation and consensus. In the absence of consensus, decisions are based on a majority vote of the Commissioners in attendance or who are represented at the meeting. The quorum for all Board of Commissioners meetings requires attendance in person, through electronic media (such as teleconference or video conference) or by proxy granted to another Commissioner, which shall represent more than one-half of the total number of Commissioners.

The Board of Directors is generally responsible for managing our business in accordance with applicable laws, our Articles of Association and the policies and directives issued by the GMS and the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Directors also is authorized to act for and on our behalf, inside or outside a court of law, on any matter and for any event, with another party.

Meetings of the Board of Directors are held at least once a month and may be convened at any time deemed necessary or at the request of one or more members of the Board of Directors, or at the request of the Board of Commissioners.

128


Meetings of the Board of Directors are chaired by the President Director. In the event that the President Director is unavailable or absent for any reason, the meeting will be chaired by the Vice President Director. If the Vice President Director is unavailable, the meeting will be chaired by any Director appointed by the President Director. In the absence of the President Director and the Vice President Director and no appointment has been made, any director who has the longest tenure will chair the meeting.

Decisions at Board of Directors meetings are taken through a process of deliberation and consensus. If consensus cannot be reached, decisions are based on a majority vote of the Directors in attendance at the meeting. In the event of a tie, the proposed resolution will be decided by a Director who chairs such Board of Directors meeting. The quorum for all Board of Directors meeting requires attendance in person, or through video conference or by proxy granted to another Director, of Directors representing more than one-half of the total number of Directors. Each Director who is present at a Board of Directors meeting is entitled to cast one vote (and one vote for each other Director represented by proxy).

Individual Directors are charged with specific responsibilities. For more detailed information regarding the functions and authority of each of our Directors, see "— Directors and Senior Management — Board of Directors."

Audit Committee Independence

OJK Rule No.55/POJK.04/2015 on Establishment and Code of Conduct for Audit Committees (the "OJK Audit Committee Regulation") requires the board of commissioners of a public company to establish an audit committee which is chaired by an independent commissioner. In addition, the OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires each member of such audit committee to be either an independent commissioner or external independent member, with the audit committee comprised of at least three members with at least one independent commissioner presiding over the audit committee as chairman and one external independent member and at least one member of the audit committee having expertise in accounting or finance. We also require at least one external independent member to have expert knowledge (in the context of Item 16A of Form 20-F) in the field of accounting or finance.

In order to be considered independent under the prevailing Indonesian rules, the members of the audit committee may not, among other things:

Digital Talents

We intend to nurture best-in-class digital talents who will be able to help develop our digital capabilities and increase the widespread adoption of digitalization. To reach this goal, we have developed two main strategies.

Our first strategy consists in developing internal digital talents and develop a digital environment and culture. Our talent development programs and also our corporate culture activation programs are designed to accelerate our transformation into a digital telecommunications company and empower our employees internally by offering training sessions and advice.

Our second strategy consists in acquiring digital capabilities from third parties and create a collaborative ecosystem through partnerships with third parties to further accelerate our transformation into a digital telecommunications company.

As at December 31, 2020, we had identified and developed 1,117 digital talents, including 570 talents sourced internally and 547 talents sourced externally. These digital talents participate in training and development programs and can obtain Telkom certifications delivered internally. In 2020, expenses incurred in connection with our digital training and certification programs amounted to approximately Rp34.5 billion.

132


Compensation and Benefits

We apply a comprehensive compensation and benefit/reward system which comprises: (i) basic allowances (monthly and non-monthly), including various allowances that may be given in case the employee is located in a disaster or conflict areas, holiday allowances, health, housing and transportation allowances, social security, and pension benefits, (ii) career and development allowances and benefits (training, coaching/mentoring, scholarships, career development opportunities), (iii) performance-based compensation such as sales and marketing incentives and other variable performance-based monetary such as bonuses. Our compensation and benefits policies are stated in a collective labor agreement (Perjanjian Kerja Bersama), which is reviewed every three years.

Retirement Program

The retirement age for all our employees is 56 years. We have two pension schemes: (a) Defined Benefit Pension Plan ("DBPP"), which is applicable to permanent employees who were permanent prior to July 1, 2002 (other than our Directors) and (b) Defined Contribution Pension Plan ("DCPP") which is applicable to permanent employees (other than our Directors) who were permanent on or after July 1, 2002.

a.           Defined Benefit Pension Plan

DBPP is calculated for participants based on years of service, salary level at retirement and is transferable to dependent families if the respective employee passes away. Telkom Pension Fund administers the program while the main source of pension fund comes from us and employee contributions. Employees participate in the program with 18% of their basic salary (before March 2003, the employee contribution rate was 8.4%) while we contribute the remaining balance. The minimum monthly pension benefit for retired employees is approximately Rp600,000 per month, or minimum Rp450,000 per month for spouses of the retired employees. We did not make any contribution to the DBPP for 2017 and 2018. In 2020, we contributed Rp205 billion to the DBPP.

Telkomsel operates its own DBPP for its employees. With this program, employees are entitled to retirement benefits calculated based on their latest basic salary or take-home pay and years of services. PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) manages this program under annuity insurance contracts. Up to 2004, employees would contribute 5% of their monthly basic salaries to the program, while Telkomsel would contribute the remaining balance. Since 2005, Telkomsel has contributed the entire amount to the program, which totaled Rp125 billion and Rp207 billion for 2018 and 2019, respectively, and was Rp53 billion in 2020.

b.           Defined Contribution Pension Plan

We operate a DCPP for permanent employees other than Directors who were permanent on or after July 1, 2002. DCPP is managed by several appointed financial institutions pension fund from which employees can choose. Our contribution to the financial institutions pension fund is determined by the portion taken from participating employee's basic salary, which totaled Rp13 billion, Rp55 billion and Rp41 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Relationship with the Government and Government Agencies

Our relationship with the Government is multi-faceted. The Government is our majority and controlling shareholder. It is also our regulator as it adopts, administers and enforces relevant laws that regulate the telecommunications sector, sets tariffs and issues licenses. It is also one of our customers and one of our lenders.

As used in this section, the term "Government" includes the Government of Indonesia and its ministries, directly owned government departments and agencies, but excludes SOEs.

The Government as Shareholder

The Government is our majority and controlling shareholder and owned 52.09% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of March 31, 2021. Its ownership of the Dwiwarna Share gives it special voting and veto rights. Under the relevant laws, the "ownership" of our common stock and the single outstanding Dwiwarna Share is vested in the MoF. In turn, and under the authority of the MoF, the MSOE exercises the rights vested in these securities as our "controlling shareholder."

As our majority shareholder and controlling shareholder, the Government has an interest in our performance, both in terms of the service we provide to the nation and our ability to operate on a commercial basis. The material rights and restrictions that apply to our common stock also apply to the Dwiwarna Share, except that the Government may not transfer the Dwiwarna Share, and has right of veto with regard to, among other things: (1) the nomination, appointment and removal of our Directors; (2) the nomination, appointment and removal of our Commissioners; (3) the issuance of new shares and (4) any amendments to our Articles of Association, including with respect to actions to merge or dissolve our Company, increase or reduce our authorized capital, or reduce our subscribed capital.

Accordingly, the Government effectively has control over these matters even if it owns less than a majority share of the outstanding shares of common stock. The Government's rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not expire unless there is a change that requires the amendment of our Articles of Association, which would require the consent of the Government as the holder of the Dwiwarna Share.

The Government as Regulator

The Government regulates the telecommunications sector through the MoCI. The MoCI has the authority to issue regulations that implement laws, which are typically broad in scope. Through such decrees the MoCI defines the structure of the industry, determines tariff formulas, establishes our USO, and otherwise controls many factors that could influence our competitive position, operations and financial position. Through the DGPI, the MoCI regulates the allocation of frequencies and sets numbers for fixed telephone lines. We are required to obtain a license from the DGPI for each type of service offered, including licenses for the frequencies we use (as allocated by the MoCI). We and other operators are required to pay frequency usage fees. Telkomsel also holds licenses issued by the MoCI (some of which were previously issued by the Minister of Communications) for the provision of cellular services, and from the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board in relation to Telkomsel's investments for the development of cellular phone services with national coverage, including the expansion of network coverage. The Government, through the MoCI as regulator, has the authority to issue new licenses for the establishment of new joint ventures and other new arrangements, particularly in telecommunications.

Certain licenses require us to pay a concession fee to operate. We pay concession fees for telecommunications services provided and radio frequency usage charges to the MoCI. Concession fees amounted to Rp1,868 billion in 2019 and Rp1,837 billion (US$131 million) in 2020. Concession fees as a percentage of total expenses amounted to 2.0% in 2019 and 2.0% in 2020. Radio frequency usage charges amounted to Rp5,736 billion in 2019 and Rp5,930 billion (US$422 million) in 2020. Radio frequency usage charges as a percentage of total expenses amounted to 6.1% in 2019 and 6.4% in 2020. USO charges to the MoCI amounted to Rp502 billion in 2019 and Rp574 billion (US$41 million) in 2020. USO charges as a percentage of our total expenses amounted to 0.5% in 2019 and 0.6% in 2020.

The Government as Lender

In July 1994, the Government arranged a facility under which certain foreign institutions provided us with a two-step loan for certain expenditures (the "sub-loan borrowings"). The sub-loan borrowings were made through the Government and are guaranteed by it. As of December 31, 2020, we had a total of Rp568 billion (US$40 million), in such outstanding two-step loans, including current maturities. We are required to pay the Government interest and repay the principal, which the Government then remits to the respective lenders. As of December 31, 2020, 84.0% of such sub-loan borrowings were denominated in foreign currencies, with the remaining 16.0% denominated in Rupiah. In 2020, the annual interest rates charged were 8.38% on loans repayable in Rupiah, 3.85% on those denominated in U.S. Dollar and 2.95% on those denominated in Japanese Yen.

The Government as Customer

Certain Government departments and agencies purchase services from us as direct customers, the terms of which are negotiated on a commercial basis. No services are provided for free or on an in-kind basis. We deal with these departments and agencies as separate customers. In 2020, the amount of revenues from Government departments and agencies was Rp4,235 billion, which accounted for 3.1% of our consolidated revenues and did not constitute a material part of our revenues. The Government departments and agencies are treated for tariff purposes with respect to connection charges and monthly charges as "residential," which tariffs are lower than the business service rates. This does not apply to the tariffs for local, long distance and IDD calls. In addition, we provide enterprise digital services and solutions to SOEs, including ATM switching, payment gateway and E-Commerce platform services.

It is our policy not to enter into any transactions with affiliates unless the terms are on an arm's length basis as though such transactions are made with a third party. The MSOE has advised us that it would not cause us to enter into transactions with other entities under its control unless the terms were consistent with our policy as referred to above.

Pursuant to OJK regulations, because we are listed on the IDX, any transaction where there is an inherent conflict of interest (as defined below) must be approved by a majority of the holders of our shares of common stock who do not have a conflict of interest in the proposed transaction (i.e. the independent shareholders), unless, among other things, such conflict of interest existed before listing and was fully disclosed in the offering documents.

OJK regulations define a conflict of interest as a conflict between our economic interests and the shareholders' interests on the one hand and, on the other, the personal economic interests of members of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, other principal shareholders (defined as a holder of 20% or more of our shares of common stock), or the controlling person (pengendali) (defined as a person who (i) owns more than 50% of our issued and paid-up shares or (ii) has the ability to determine, directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, the management and/or our policy) or their affiliates, either jointly or individually, which may cause losses to us. A conflict of interest also exists if a member of the Board of Commissioners or Board of Directors or a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) or their respective affiliates is involved in a transaction in which its personal interests may be in conflict with ours and may cause losses to us. The OJK has the authority to enforce these rules regarding conflicts of interest and holders of our shares of common stock are also entitled to bring a suit to enforce these.

137


Under OJK regulations, transactions between us and other state-owned or state-controlled enterprises may cause a conflict of interest. In such cases, the approval of the independent shareholders must be obtained if a conflict of interest arises, unless exempted. We believe that many transactions conducted with state-owned or state-controlled enterprises are on an arms-length, commercial basis and do not constitute conflict of interest transactions that would require an independent shareholders vote. Such transactions include our sale of telephone services to state-owned or state-controlled enterprises and our purchase of electricity from an SOE. We expect that from time to time, in connection with the development and growth of our business, we would enter into joint ventures, agreements or transactions with such enterprises. Under such circumstances, we may consult with the OJK to determine whether a proposed joint venture, agreement or transaction would require a vote of independent shareholders under OJK rules. If the OJK is of the view that such transaction would not require such a vote, we would proceed without seeking the independent shareholders' approval. Otherwise, we would seek the requisite approval or abandon the proposed action.

Proportion of Common Stock Held in Indonesia and Abroad

As of March 31, 2021, we had 186,946 holders of shares of common stock (including the Government). This total includes 34,082,481,019 shares of common stock held by 2,261 holders of common stock located outside Indonesia. As of the same date, there were 79 ADS shareholders who owned 38,161,127 ADSs.

Change in Control

As of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, we are not aware of any plans or developments that could result in a change of control over us, including changes that are still at the planning stage. In addition, our articles of association contain certain provisions that could limit the ability of third parties to acquire control of our Company, including a provision that any takeover of our Company shall be approved in a general meeting of shareholders attended by (i) the holder of the Dwiwarna share and (ii) the shareholders (or their proxies) that represent, in aggregate, at least 75% of the total number of the shares with valid voting rights issued by our Company. Moreover, the resolution in such meeting must be approved by (i) the holder of the Dwiwarna Share and (ii) the vote of a majority of shareholders constituting, in aggregate, at least 75% of the total number of shares present (or being represented by a proxy) at the general meeting of shareholders.

B.                         RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Indonesian Stock Market

Indonesia Stock Exchange, known as the IDX, emerged out of the December 1, 2007 merger of two stock exchanges operating in two different locations in Indonesia, namely the Jakarta Stock Exchange which was located in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and the Surabaya Stock Exchange which was located in Surabaya in East Java.

As of December 31, 2020, the IDX had 713 issuers for equity and 105 active brokerage houses. In 2020, IDX recorded a trading volume of around 2,752 billion shares. As of December 31, 2020, the total market capitalization was valued at approximately Rp6,970 trillion (approximately US$496 billion).

Trading is divided into three segments: the regular market, negotiated market and cash market (except for rights issues, which can only be traded on the cash market and the negotiated market for the first session). The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction basis during exchange hours. Auctions on the IDX on regular market and cash market take place according to the price and time priorities. Price priority refers to giving priority to buying orders at a higher price or selling orders at a lower price. If buying or selling orders are placed at the same price, priority is given to the earlier placed buying or selling order (time priority). Trading on the negotiated market is conducted through direct negotiation between (i) IDX members, (ii) clients through one IDX member, (iii) a client and an IDX member, or (iv) an IDX member and the PT Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia ("KPEI"). KPEI provides clearing and guarantee services of stock exchange transactions settlement. It also improves efficiency and certainty of transactions settlement on the IDX.

IDX Rule No. II A on Trading of Equity Securities as attached to the Decree of the Board of Directors of the IDX No. Kep-00025/BEI/03-2020, as amended by Decree No. Kep-00108/BEI/12-2020 ("IDX Trading Rule") provides that, the trading sessions of the IDX is as follows:

Transactions on the IDX regular market must be settled no later than the second trading day (T+2) after the transaction. Transactions on the negotiated market are settled on the basis of the agreement between the selling exchange members and the buying exchange members, on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Transactions on the IDX cash market must be settled on the day of the transaction (T+0) and reported to the IDX. If an exchange member defaults on the settlement of a transaction, the securities can be traded by direct negotiation on cash and carry terms. Each exchange member is required to pay a transaction fee as stipulated by the IDX. Any delay in payment of the transaction fee is subject to a fine of 1.0% of the outstanding amount of the payment for each day of delay. The IDX may impose sanctions on its members for any violation of exchange rules, which may include fines, written warnings, suspension or revocation of licenses.

140


When conducting share transactions on the IDX, each exchange member is required to pay a transaction cost for transactions on the regular market and cash market of 0.018% of the transaction value and VAT and other tax obligation. For the negotiated market, a transaction cost as stipulated by the IDX is applicable. A minimum monthly transaction fee of Rp20 million is applied as a contribution for the provision of exchange facilities and continues in effect for members who are suspended or whose Exchange Member Approval is revoked.

Since the global financial crisis in the last quarter of 2008, there has been typical share price movements. Hence, the IDX has applied a policy of auto rejection, a mechanism whereby share trading can be halted automatically in order to maintain orderly, fair and efficient trading.

The IDX Trading Rule also stipulates the change of auto rejection policy. The Jakarta Automated Trading System (JATS) will automatically reject price orders input into the JATS at the Regular and Cash Markets if (i) the selling or buying order is smaller than Rp50 (or Rp1 for rights and warrants); (ii) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 35% above or below the reference price for stock prices ranging from Rp50 to Rp200; (iii) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 25% above or below the reference price for stock price ranging from Rp200 to Rp5,000; and (iv) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 20% above or below the reference price for stock price that is more than Rp5,000. Auto rejection also arises when the selling offer or buying request volume reaches over 50,000 lot of equity securities or 5% of total securities listed, whichever is smaller. Stock trading as a result of initial public offering is determined one fold wider than auto rejection percentage as mentioned above.

Amid anxiety over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and disagreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia relating to oil production volumes and prices, IDX has experienced a challenging first quarter of 2020. As a result, the Jakarta Composite Index ("JCI") decreased by more than 29% over the same period. On March 12, 2020, the IDX imposed an unprecedented 30-minute trading halt. A few days before the trading halt, the IDX had taken various measures in an effort to calm the markets. These measures included, among others, the following: (i) Decree No. Kep-0024/BEI/03-2020 on Changes to the Guidelines on Handling Trading Continuity on the IDX in an Emergency Situation to, among other things, relax trading halt requirements, and (ii) a new IDX Trading Rule that, among other things, sets the limits beyond which JATS will auto-reject transactions on the IDX regular and cash markets when selling offers and/or buying orders for equity securities at exceed the price limits or amounts set by the IDX. Most recently, on September 10, 2020, the IDX announced a 30-minute trading halt due to the drop of the JCI in excess of 5% due to the announcement of the re-tightening of the large scale social restriction.

Description of Articles of Association

Our Articles of Association are registered in accordance with Law No.1 of 1995 on Limited Liability Companies, and approved by Ministerial Decree No.C2-7468.HT.01.04.Th.97 of 1997. Following the enactment of the Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (as amended by the Job Creation Law, "Indonesian Company Law") which revoked Law No.1 of 1995 on Limited Liability Companies, we amended our Articles of Association which were approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Rights of the Republic of Indonesia pursuant to the Decree of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights No.AHU.46312.AH.01.02 of 2008 dated July 31, 2008 and registered in the State Gazette of the Republic of Indonesia No.84 dated October 17, 2008, Supplement to State Gazette No.20155.

Our Articles of Association have been amended several times, the latest amendment of which primarily related to increasing the flexibility and independence of our Board of Commissioners to approve actions of the Board of Directors that exceed certain value limits, and our need to change provisions regarding issued and paid-up capital, as well as authorized capital due to the transfer of shares through withdrawal by reducing capital. The latest amendments were accepted and approved by the Ministry of Law and Human Right in its decrees No.AHU-AH.01.03.0289820 dated June 24, 2019 and No.AHU-0032595.AH.01.02 TAHUN 2019 dated June 24, 2019.

In passing any resolutions, the principal shareholders, the Directors and Commissioners who have conflicts of interests in the transaction that is being decided are not entitled to give any recommendation or opinion. Any resolution passed by independent shareholders shall be confirmed by the entire quorum of the meeting to be followed by all shareholders present in the meeting, including those having conflicts of interest.

143

Additionally, with regards to matters referred to in paragraph (b), approval from the Board of Commissioners and/or the GMS will not be required if the relevant activity is (i) part of the main business activities of the Company or (ii) is entered into with the subsidiaries or affiliates whose financials are consolidated with the Company's financials provided that this still has to be reported to the Board of Commissioners. The nomination of candidates referred to in paragraph (g) will not require approval from the Board of Commissioners as long as such nominated candidate is also a director of the Company, provided that this is reported to the Board of Commissioners.

Actions of the Board of Directors to transfer or collateralize the assets of the Company (whether in one or a series of transactions) the value of which exceed 50% of the total net assets of our Company (based on our Consolidated Financial Statements) would require approval of an GMS, except for those that are business activities of the Company as stipulated in the Articles of Association.

The Board of Directors is responsible for leading and managing our Company in accordance with our objectives and purposes and to control, preserve and manage the assets of our Company.

Our Articles of Association do not contain any requirement for our Directors to: (i) retire by a specified age; or (ii) to own any or a specified number of shares of our Company. The rights, preferences and restrictions attaching to each class of the shares of our Company in respect of specified matters are set forth below:

Dividend rights. Dividends are to be paid based upon our financial condition and in accordance with the resolution of the shareholders in a GMS, which will also determine the form of and time of payment of the dividend;

Voting rights. The holder of each voting share is entitled to one vote at a GMS;

Rights to share in our Company's profits. See "— Dividend rights" above;

Rights to share in any surplus in the event of liquidation. Stockholders are entitled to surplus in the event of liquidation in accordance with their proportion of shareholding, provided the nominal value of the common stock that they hold is fully paid-up;

Redemption provisions. There are no stock redemption provisions in our Articles of Association. However, based on Article 37 of the Indonesian Company Law, we may buy back up to 10% of our issued and outstanding shares;

Reserved fund provisions. We are required to set aside retained earnings in the amount of at least 20% of our issued capital to cover potential losses. If the amount in the reserved fund exceeds 20% of our issued capital, a GMS may authorize us to utilize such excess funds for the purposes of our Company;

Liability for further capital calls. Our shareholders may be asked to subscribe for new shares in our Company from time to time. Such rights are to be offered to shareholders prior to being offered to third parties and may be transferred at the option of the shareholder. Our Board of Directors is authorized to offer the new shares to third parties in the event that an existing shareholder is unable or unwilling to subscribe for such new shares; and

Our Articles of Association do not contain any provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of such securities because of such shareholder owning a substantial number of shares. Additionally, our Articles of Association do not provide for staggered boards, cumulative voting or sinking a fund.

145


In order to change the rights of shareholders, an amendment to the relevant provisions of our Articles of Association is required. Any amendment to our Articles of Association requires the approval of the holder of the Dwiwarna Share and the other shareholders or their authorized proxies jointly representing at least two thirds of the total number of votes cast in the meeting.

Any GMS may only be convened upon the issuance of the requisite announcement by us. In addition, the Board of Directors may issue such announcement and convene an EGMS following a written request by the Board of Commissioners or one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of our shares, in aggregate. The announcement is to be published in at least one newspaper in Indonesia (in Bahasa Indonesia) having general circulation within Indonesia and on the website of our Company (in Bahasa Indonesia and/or other languages as determined by regulations) and the IDX. Such announcement of a GMS is required to be given to shareholders at least 14 days (without counting the notice date and the invitation date) prior to the invitation for the GMS. The invitation for the GMS is also required to be published in the same manner as with the announcement of the notice at least 21 days (without counting the invitation date and the meeting date) prior to the GMS. Unless otherwise specified by law or the Articles of Association, the quorum for AGMS or EGMS requires shareholders representing more than one-half of the total shares with voting rights issued by us and binding resolutions may be passed if approved by more than one-half of the shareholders attending the GMS with valid voting rights. In case the quorum is not reached, then invitation to a second meeting can be made without prior announcement that an invitation to a meeting will be made. Such invitation to the meeting is required to be served at least seven days prior to the second meeting (without counting the invitation date and the meeting date). The second meeting will be valid if attended by shareholders representing at least one-third of the total shares with valid voting rights and may pass binding resolutions if approved by more than one-half of the attended shareholders with valid voting rights. In case the quorum is not reached at the second meeting, a third meeting may be held, at our Company's request, with the quorum of attendance and voting requirements to be determined by the OJK in accordance with the provisions of the laws.

Stockholders may vote by proxy. All resolutions are to be passed by consensus and deliberation. If consensus cannot be reached, resolutions are passed by simple majority, unless a larger majority is required by our Articles of Association. Our Articles of Association do not contain any limitations on the right of any person, to own our shares or to exercise their right to vote. Indonesian capital market regulations do not contain any limitation on the right of any person, whether local or foreign, to own shares in a company listed on the IDX.

Any takeover of our Company is required to be approved by the holder of the Dwiwarna Share and a majority constituting at least three-fourths of the total number of shares at a GMS that must be attended by the holder of the Dwiwarna Share. There are no other provisions in our Articles of Association that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company.

Each Director and Commissioner has an obligation to report to the OJK with regard to their ownership and any changes in their ownership of our Company, and this obligation also applies to shareholders who, directly and indirectly, have an ownership stake of 5% or more in our paid up capital. Those shareholders would also have to report to OJK changes in their ownership of or in excess of 0.5% of our paid up capital. We believe that our Articles of Association are not significantly different from those generally prevailing in Indonesia in respect of companies listed on the IDX (other than with respect to provisions and rights relating to the Dwiwarna Share, which are common for SOEs listed on the IDX). We also believe that the provisions in our Articles of Association relating to changes in our capital are not more stringent than that required by Indonesian law.

Differences in the law

The laws of Indonesia applicable to Indonesian limited liability companies differ from the laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders in certain respects. Set forth below is a summary of certain differences between the provisions of Indonesian laws applicable to us and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to shareholders' rights and protections.

146


This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights under either Delaware General Corporation law or Indonesian law.

Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Mergers and similar arrangements

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary, of which it owns at least 90.0% of each class of capital stock without a vote by the shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights.

Under Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (as amended by the Job Creation Law, "Indonesian Company Law"), a merger or consolidation may only be completed if a merger/consolidation plan, containing the prescribed elements together with the draft deed of merger or draft deed of consolidation, is approved by a general meeting of shareholders of each of the companies involved. A three-quarters vote cast at the meeting is required at a general meeting of shareholders where a quorum of three-quarters of the shares with valid voting rights is present. Before the transaction is submitted for approval to the general meeting of shareholders, the directors must publish a summary of the merger/consolidation plan in one national newspaper and make an announcement in writing to the employees at least 30 days prior to "calling" the general meeting of shareholders.

Shareholders who do not agree with the proposed merger or consolidation will have the right to require the company to purchase their shares at the fair market value (appraisal rights).

Additional requirements are applicable for mergers or consolidations involving public companies.

Shareholder's suits

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such action.

Under Indonesian Company Law, any shareholder has a right to file a lawsuit with the district court whose jurisdiction covers the domicile of the company if the company's actions have caused damage to the shareholder on the ground that such actions, undertaken by virtue of a GMS, board of directors or board of commissioners resolution, were unfair and with no reasonable ground. Such actions must have resulted from resolutions of a general meeting of shareholders, board of directors meetings or board of commissioners meetings. Additionally, one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the total number of issued shares with lawful voting rights are entitled to file a lawsuit with the relevant district court on behalf of the company against the board of directors or members of the board of directors and the board of commissioners or members of the board of commissioners, whose fault or negligence caused losses to the company.

147


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Shareholder vote on board and management compensation

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors, unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

Under Indonesian Company Law, the salaries and allowances of members of the board of directors are determined by the general meeting of shareholders. The general meeting of shareholders may delegate its authority to approve such salaries and allowances to the board of commissioners.

The salaries and allowances of members of the board of commissioners are determined by the general meeting of shareholders.

For Indonesian public companies, a remuneration and nomination committee (in practice, a committee under the board of commissioners) can assist the general meeting of shareholders in determining the amount of the remuneration of the members of the board of directors and board of commissioners. If a committee has not been formed for this purpose, the board of commissioners shall determine the remuneration of the board of directors and board of commissioners in accordance with the prevailing capital market rules. Any such amount, however, must be approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

Annual vote on board renewal

Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, directors are elected in an annual meeting of stockholders on a date and at a time designated by or in the manner provided in the bylaws. Re-election is possible.

Classified boards are permitted.

A member of the board of directors or board of commissioners is appointed by a general meeting of shareholders for a fixed duration. If the term of office has lapsed, the relevant director or commissioner can be re-appointed at a general meeting of shareholders

Specifically for public companies, directors and commissioners may not be appointed for a term of more than five years. Re-election is possible except that for an independent commissioner who has served two consecutive terms, he/she can only be reappointed if he/she submits a statement of independency to the general meeting of shareholders.

148


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Indemnification of directors and executive management and limitation on liability

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors (but not other controlling persons) of the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except no provision in the certificate of incorporation may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:

     any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders;

     acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

     statutory liability for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchase or redemption; or

     any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding, other than an action by or on behalf of the corporation, because the person is or was a director or officer, against liability incurred in connection with the proceeding if the director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation; and the director or officer, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

Unless ordered by a court, any foregoing indemnification is subject to a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct:

     by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum;

     by a committee of directors designated by a majority vote of the eligible directors, even though less than a quorum;

Under Indonesian Company Law, a member of the board of directors cannot be held liable for the company's losses if he/she can prove that:

     the losses were not caused by his/her own fault or negligence;

     he/she acted in good faith, prudently, and in furtherance of and in accordance with the purposes of the company;

     he/she does not have any direct or indirect conflict of interest in connection with the management action which caused the loss; and

     he/she has taken actions to prevent such losses or the continuation thereof.

Under Indonesian Company Law, the term "take actions to prevent such losses or the continuation thereof" includes obtaining sufficient information with regard to the management action that may cause the losses, including through convening a meeting of the board of directors.

149


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

     by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no eligible directors, or if the eligible directors so direct; or

     by the shareholders.

Moreover, a Delaware corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with any proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses which the court deems proper. 

Directors' fiduciary duties

A director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components:

     the duty of care; and

     the duty of loyalty.

The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. 

Under Indonesian Company Law, the board of directors is responsible for the management of the company and must act in good faith. The board of directors must act in the best interest of the company and in accordance with the company's purposes and objectives.

150


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Shareholder action by written consent

A Delaware corporation may, in its certificate of incorporation, eliminate the right of shareholders to act by written consent.

Shareholders of an Indonesian limited liability company may only exercise their voting rights in a general meeting of shareholders and may not act by written consent.

Shareholder proposals

A shareholder of a Delaware corporation has the right to put any proposal before the annual meeting of shareholders, provided it complies with the notice provisions in the governing documents. A special meeting may be called by the board of directors or any other person authorized to do so in the governing documents, but shareholders may be precluded from calling special meetings.

Under Indonesian Company Law, one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the total number of issued voting shares, unless the company's articles of association call for a smaller number of voting shares, are entitled to request that a general meeting of shareholders be convened by the board of directors. If the board of directors fails to convene the general meeting of shareholders, shareholders are entitled to request the board of commissioners to convene a general meeting of shareholders.

If the board of directors or the board of commissioners (as the case may be) fails to convene a general meeting of shareholders as explained above, the shareholders may file an application with the district court having jurisdiction over the domicile of the company to allow them to call and convene a general meeting of shareholders.

Cumulative voting

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, cumulative voting for elections of directors is not permitted unless the corporation's certificate of incorporation provides for it.

Under Indonesian Company Law, cumulative voting is not permitted for the election of directors.

Removal of directors

A Delaware corporation with a classified board may be removed only for cause with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Under Indonesian Company Law, any dismissal (with or without cause) of a member of the board of directors must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders. Such a general meeting of shareholders must be attended by the holders of more than one-half of the total number of the company's issued voting shares, and the decision must be approved by the holders of more than one-half of the total votes validly cast at the meeting.

151


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Transactions with interested shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or group who or which owns or owned 15.0% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15.0% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock within the past three years.

For Indonesian public companies, affiliated party transaction and conflict of interest transaction rules may apply to transactions between public companies and any of their principal shareholders (where a "principal shareholder" is defined as the owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 20% of the outstanding shares in a public company) or "controlling persons" (pengendali) (defined as persons who (i) own more than 50% of the issued and paid-up shares in a company or (ii) have the ability to determine, directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, the management and/or policies of a company).

Affiliated Party Transaction

An affiliated party transaction is defined as any activity or transaction conducted by a public company or a controlled company: (i) with an affiliate (a category defined under Indonesian capital market rules which includes principal shareholders) of the public company or an affiliate of a member of the board of directors, the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) of such public company, or (ii) in the interest of an affiliate of a member of the board of directors, the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) of such public company.

Affiliated party transactions must be, among other things, in compliance with the public company's internal policy governing related party transactions, disclosed to the public, reported to the relevant authority, and supported by a fairness opinion issued by a registered independent appraiser, unless it is an exempt transaction.

Conflict of Interest Transaction

A conflict of interest is defined as the difference between the economic interests of a public company and the personal economic interests of its directors, commissioners, principal shareholders or controlling persons (pengendali), which may cause losses to such company. In practice, fairness opinions by a registered independent appraiser are used to assess whether a transaction may be affected by a conflict of interest. By law, OJK has discretion to determine if certain affiliated party transactions involve any conflict of interest, and would therefore require the approval of independent shareholders.

152


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

If the transaction between the public company and a principal shareholder is deemed a conflict of interest transaction, the public company needs to, among other things, obtain the approval of its independent shareholders in a general meeting of shareholders, unless exempted. Independent shareholders are defined as shareholders having no conflict of interest in respect of the transaction, and the independent shareholders must make a declaration to that effect, and is not a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) (or an affiliate of the foregoing persons or entities) of such public company.

Dissolution; Winding up

Unless the board of directors of a Delaware corporation approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100.0% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. 

Dissolution of a company must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders; such meeting has to be attended by shareholders holding at least three-quarters of the total number of outstanding shares in the company carrying valid voting rights. The approval must be obtained by a majority of at least three-quarters of the total votes validly cast at the meeting.

Variation of rights of shares

A Delaware corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Indonesian Company Law allows companies to issue different classes of shares. Varying rights of existing shares or issuing new classes of shares with different rights requires amending the company's articles of association. Such amendment must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders.

Amendment of governing documents

A Delaware corporation's governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

To amend the articles of association of an Indonesian limited liability company, a general meeting of shareholders is required. Unless the existing articles of association stipulate a higher quorum, a general meeting of shareholders can be held if attended by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the total issued voting shares. The general meeting of shareholders may adopt valid resolutions with affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the total votes validly cast at the meeting. For public companies, affirmative votes representing more than two-thirds of the total votes validly cast in the meeting are required.

153


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Inspection of books and records

Shareholders of a Delaware corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.

Examination of documents and information pertaining to the company may be requested for the purpose of obtaining data or information if a director's or a commissioner's unlawful act is suspected to have caused losses to the company, its shareholders or third parties. An application must be made to the district court having jurisdiction over the domicile of the company. The application requesting the right to examine the company must be made in good faith and based on fair reasoning.

Such application can be made by:

     one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the total number of issued voting shares;

     any other party that, pursuant to prevailing regulations, the company's articles of association or an agreement with the company, is granted such authority to submit the request for examination; or

     the State Attorney, for public order purposes.

Payment of dividends

The board of directors may approve a dividend without shareholder approval. Subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, the board may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either:

     out of its surplus; or

     in case there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year.

Stockholder approval is required to authorize capital stock in excess of that provided in the charter. Directors may issue authorized shares without stockholder approval. 

Indonesian Company Law provides that dividends can be paid to shareholders from the company's cumulative net profits (after deductions for allocation to the reserve fund). If a loss is booked by the company in a preceding financial year and cannot be covered by the reserve fund, such loss should be carried forward and in the current financial year, the company will still be deemed to be making a loss if this carried over loss cannot be covered by the current financial year's profit. Under such circumstances, the company is not be able to distribute dividends from profits it earned in the current financial year.

Before the company pays dividends, the company must reserve its profits until it reaches an amount equal to at least 20% of the company's subscribed and paid-up capital. This means that if the company already has a compulsory reserve, the rest of the accumulated net profit can be distributed as dividends.

Interim dividends may also be distributed, provided that:

154


Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

     the company's articles of association allow it;

     the amount of the company's net profit exceeds the amount of the issued and paid-up capital plus the reserve fund; and

     the distribution of the interim dividends will neither cause the company to be unable to pay its obligations to its creditors, nor disrupt the company's operations.

Creation and issuance of new shares

All creation of shares requires the board of directors to adopt a resolution or resolutions, pursuant to authority expressly vested in the board of directors by the provisions of the company's certificate of incorporation.

Issuance of new shares must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders (with different quorum and voting requirements applicable depending on whether the company seeks to increase its authorized capital or not).

     Issuance of new shares in an amount that is still within the company's authorized capital must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders attended by shareholders representing more than one-half of the total number of issued voting shares in the company, and the decision must be approved by shareholders representing more than one-half of the total votes validly cast at the meeting.

     Issuance of new shares in an amount that exceeds the company's authorized capital must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders attended by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the total number of issued voting shares. The general meeting of shareholders may adopt valid resolutions with affirmative votes representing at least two-thirds of the total votes validly cast at the meeting (or more than two-thirds for public companies).

C.                         MATERIAL CONTRACTS

We have not entered into any material contracts other than in the ordinary course of business within the two years preceding the date of this annual report.

D.                         EXCHANGE CONTROLS

See "Item 3. Key Information — Selected Financial Data — Exchange Controls" included elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F.

E.                         TAXATION

The following summary contains a description of the principal Indonesian and United States federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock. This summary does not purport to be a complete description of all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to acquire, own or dispose of ADSs or shares of common stock.

Investors should consult their tax advisors about the Indonesian and United States federal, state and local tax consequences to them of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of ADSs or shares of common stock.

Indonesian Taxation

The following is a summary of the principal Indonesian tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of common stock or ADSs to a non-resident individual or non-resident entity that holds common stock or ADSs (a "Non-Indonesian Holder"). A "non-resident individual" is a foreign national individual who does not reside in Indonesia and is not physically present in Indonesia for more than 183 days within a 12-month period, or an Indonesian citizen who is residing outside of Indonesia for more than 183 days within a 12-month period and fulfills certain requirements on her or his place of residency, main activities, habitual abode, tax status and/or other requirements, during which period such non-resident individual receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of common stock or ADSs and a "non-resident entity" is a corporation or a non-corporate body that is established, domiciled or organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than Indonesia and does not have a fixed place of business or otherwise conducts business or carries out activities through a permanent establishment in Indonesia during an Indonesian tax year in which such non-resident entity receives income in respect of the ownership or disposition of common stock or ADSs. In determining the residency of an individual or entity, consideration will be given to the provisions of any applicable double taxation treaty to which Indonesia is a party.

Dividends

Dividends declared by us out of retained earnings and distributed to a Non-Indonesian Holder in respect of common stock or ADSs are subject to Indonesian withholding tax, which, as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, is at the rate of 20%, on the amount of the distribution (in the case of cash dividends) or on the shareholders proportional share of the value of the distribution. A lower rate provided under double taxation treaties may be applicable, provided the recipient is able to comply with the following strict requirements:

1.

If the provisions under the tax treaty is different from those under Indonesian Income Tax Law.

2.

which contradicts the purpose and objectives of the double tax avoidance agreement

6.

The non-resident income recipient is the beneficial owner of the income as required by the concerned tax treaty. The requirements for a beneficial owner are as follows:

a.

If the non-resident income recipient is an individual, he or she does not act as an agent or nominee; or

b.

If the non-resident income recipient is an entity, it should comply with the following requirements:

Capital Gains

The sale or transfer of common stock through the IDX is subject to a final withholding tax at the rate of 0.1% of the gross value of the transaction. The broker executing the transaction is obligated to withhold such tax. The sale or transfer of founder shares through the IDX under current Indonesian tax regulations, be subject to additional income tax if the 0.5% final income tax has not been settled after the initial public offering.

Subject to the promulgation of implementing regulations, the estimated net income received or accrued from the sale of movable assets in Indonesia, which may include common stock not listed on the IDX or ADSs, by a Non-Indonesian Holder (with the exception of the sale of assets under Article 4 paragraph (2) of the Indonesian Income Tax Law) may be subject to Indonesian withholding tax at the rate of 20%.

There is no specific tax regulation on the sale of listed shares outside the IDX. If the transfer of listed shares outside the IDX by a non-resident taxpayer is considered as the transfer of unlisted shares by a non-resident taxpayer, then general tax regulation will be applied, which is, withholding tax of 5% of the sales price (or may be subject to the double taxation treaty) will be applicable.

158


Under Indonesian Tax Laws, a purchaser or Indonesian broker is required to withhold tax on payment of the purchase price for common stock or ADSs through the IDX. Theoretically, that payment may be exempt from Indonesian withholding or other Indonesian income tax under applicable double taxation treaty to which Indonesia as a party (including the United States-Indonesia double taxation treaty). However, except for the sale or transfer of shares in a non-public company, the current Indonesian tax regulations do not provide specific procedures for the application of the tax treaty from the proceeds of such sale. To take advantage of the double taxation treaty relief, Non-Indonesian Holders may need to fulfill certain requirements including making a specific application accompanied by a specific form which is set by the Indonesian Tax Office as a Certificate of Residency and filled in by the recipient of the income and validated by the competent authority of the country where the recipients are resident. The original Certificate of Residency that has been validated by the competent authority must be provided to the custodian that will forward it to the withholding tax agent.

Stamp Duty

Until December 31, 2020, stock transactions in Indonesia were subject to a stamp duty in the nominal amount of Rp6,000 for transactions having a value in excess of Rp1.0 million and Rp3,000 for transactions having a value of up to Rp1.0 million. Generally, the stamp duty is due at the time the document effecting the stock transfer is executed. Such stamp duty is payable by the party that benefits from the executed document unless both parties state otherwise.

Since January 1, 2021, pursuant to Law No.10 of 2020 on Stamp Duty ("Law No. 10/2020"), the nominal amount of the Indonesian stamp duty is Rp10,000 for documents concerning civil matters and documents presented as evidence before a court of law. Law No.10/2020 stipulates the triggering event for each type of document (e.g., for agreements, the stamp duty becomes due and payable upon signing, and for documents relating to securities transactions effected through the stock exchange, the stamp duty becomes due and payable when the documents evidencing the transfer (e.g., the trade confirmation for trading of stocks listed on the IDX) are made (e.g., issued by the broker)). Such stamp duty is payable by the relevant party as set out in the law. For documents relating to listed stock transactions (i.e., trade confirmations), the stamp duty is payable by the recipient of the document (i.e., the purchaser of the securities). For other types of commercial papers (e.g., collective share certificates evidencing ownership of non-listed securities), the stamp duty is payable by the issuer of such commercial paper when the document evidencing ownership of the commercial papers are made by the issuer of the securities.

Certain Considerations Regarding U.S. Federal Income Tax

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders, as defined below, of ADSs or common stock that are held as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"). This summary is based upon the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, as well as the Convention between the Government of the United States and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the "Treaty"), each as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, or changes in interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, this discussion is based in part upon representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreements will be performed according to its terms.

159


This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be relevant to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (including, but not limited to, a person who directly, indirectly or constructively owns 10% or more of the stock of the company, a person who acquires ADSs or common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker or dealers in securities, a trader in securities who elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings, a person that may have been liable for alternative minimum tax, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships and their partners, individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts, certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), holders who are not U.S. Holders, investors that will hold ADSs or common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ADSs or common stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum taxes, the U.S. federal Medicare tax on net investment income, or state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations. Each U.S. Holder is urged to consult such holder's tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income, and other tax considerations of their investment in the ADSs or common stock.

For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of ADSs or common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

(i)

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

(ii)

a corporation, created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

(iii)

an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

(iv)

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of ADSs or common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership (or interest holder in the "tax transparent" entity) will generally depend on the status of the partner (or interest holder) and the activities of the partnership (or "tax transparent" entity). In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the underlying common stock represented by the ADSs.

Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of ADSs or common stock, in light of their particular circumstances.

160


Distributions on the Common Stock or ADSs

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company," the gross U.S. Dollar amount of any distribution of cash or property (without deduction for any tax withheld), other than certain pro rata distributions of common stock, we make on the common stock or ADSs out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be includible in a U.S. Holder's gross income as ordinary dividend income when the distribution is actually or constructively received by such U.S. Holder, or by the depositary in the case of ADSs. We do not calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. tax principles. Accordingly, all distributions by us to U.S. Holders will generally be treated as dividends. Any dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally granted to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of such distribution.

The U.S. Dollar amount of dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will generally be taxable at favorable rates as opposed to being taxable at ordinary income rates if the dividends are "qualified dividends." Dividends paid on ADSs or common stocks will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) certain holding period requirements are met, (ii) either the Treaty is a qualified treaty for purposes of the "qualified dividend" rules, or the dividends are with respect to ADSs readily tradable on a U.S. securities market, and (iii) we were not, in the taxable year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a "passive foreign investment company," or PFIC. The Treaty has been approved for purposes of the qualified dividend rules, and we expect to qualify for benefits under the Treaty so long as there is substantial and regular trading in our common stock on the IDX. We are considered a qualified foreign corporation with respect to the ADSs because our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Based on our Consolidated Financial Statements and relevant market data, we believe that we did not satisfy the definition for PFIC status for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 2020 taxable year. In addition, based on our Consolidated Financial Statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market data, we do not anticipate we will be a PFIC for any future taxable year. However, our status for the 2020 taxable year and future taxable years will depend on our income and assets (which for this purpose depends in part on the market value of the ADSs or common shares) in those years. See the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company."

U.S. Holders of ADSs or common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.

The amount of the dividend distribution paid in any foreign currency that a U.S. Holder must include in its income will be the U.S. Dollar value of the foreign currency payments made, determined at the spot rate on the date the dividend distribution is actually or constructively received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. Dollar. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the U.S. Holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date it converts the payment into U.S. Dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss from U.S. sources.

Subject to certain complex limitations, including the PFIC rules discussed below, any Indonesian tax withheld from distributions to a U.S. Holder in accordance with the Treaty generally will be deductible or creditable, at such U.S. Holder's option, against such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability. If a U.S. Holder elects to claim a deduction, rather than a foreign tax credit, for a particular taxable year, such election will apply to all foreign taxes paid or accrued by or on behalf of the U.S. Holder in the particular year. Dividends paid by us generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes and will be categorized as "passive category income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, as "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

161


A U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit (and instead may claim a deduction) for non-U.S. taxes imposed on dividends paid on the ADSs or common stock if such U.S. Holder (i) held the ADSs or common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which such U.S. Holder was not protected from risk of loss with respect to such shares, or (ii) is obligated to make payments related to the dividends (for example, pursuant to a short sale). The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. Holders may be subject to various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credits that are available. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their particular circumstances.

In the event we are required to withhold Indonesian income tax on dividends paid to U.S. Holders on the ADSs or common stock (see discussion under "Indonesian Taxation"), a U.S. Holder may be able to claim a reduced rate of Indonesian withholding tax if such U.S. Holder is eligible for benefits under the Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the eligibility for reduction of Indonesian withholding tax.

Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs or Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company," upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the ADSs or common stock, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis, determined in U.S. Dollar, in such ADSs or common stock. Gain or loss recognized upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs or common stock will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for such ADSs or common stock exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

A U.S. Holder that receives foreign currency from a sale or disposition of ADSs or common stock generally will realize an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar value of the foreign currency determined on (i) the date of receipt of payment in the case of a cash-basis U.S. Holder and (ii) the date of disposition in the case of an accrual-basis U.S. Holder. If our ADSs or common stock are treated as traded on an "established securities market," a cash-basis taxpayer or, if it so elects, an accrual-basis taxpayer, will determine the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency received equal to the U.S. Dollar amount realized. Any currency exchange gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. Dollars for a different amount generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss from sources within the United States. However, if such foreign currency is converted into U.S. Dollars on the date received by the U.S. Holder, a cash-basis or electing accrual-basis U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss on such conversion.

Any gain or loss will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes and as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitation, foreign taxes, if any, imposed upon capital gains in respect of the ADSs or common stock may not be creditable. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of ADSs or common stock, including the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of any foreign tax imposed on a sale or other disposition of ADSs or common stock.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

The Code provides special, generally adverse, rules regarding certain distributions received by U.S. persons with respect to, and sales, exchanges and other dispositions, including pledges, of shares of stock of, a PFIC. In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries:

75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the sale of assets that give rise to passive income; or

50% or more of the average quarterly value of its gross assets during such year consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

162


"Passive income" for this purpose includes, for example, dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. Passive income does not include rents and royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business. If the stock of a non-U.S. corporation is publicly traded for the taxable year, the asset test is applied using the fair market value of the assets for purposes of measuring such corporation's assets. If we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation's assets and receiving our proportionate share of the other corporation's income for purposes of the PFIC income and asset tests.

We do not believe we were a PFIC for prior taxable years, and based on the current and anticipated composition of our assets and income and the current expectations regarding the price of the ADSs and common stock, we do not believe that we are a PFIC for our 2020 taxable year and we do not expect to become a PFIC for future taxable years. This is a factual determination, however, that must be made annually at the end of the taxable year. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for our 2020 taxable year or for any future taxable year. Changes in the nature of our income or assets or a decrease in the trading price of the ADSs or common stock may cause us to be considered a PFIC in the current or any subsequent year.

If we were a PFIC in any taxable year that a U.S. Holder held the ADSs or common stock, such U.S. Holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to "excess distributions" made by us on the ADSs or common stock and with respect to gain from a U.S. Holder's disposition of the ADSs or common stock. An "excess distribution" generally is defined as the excess of the distributions a U.S. Holder receives with respect to the ADSs or common stock in any taxable year, over 125% of the average annual distributions that such U.S. Holder has received from us during the shorter of the three preceding years, or such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or common stock. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the ADSs or common stock ratably over such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or common stock. The portion of the excess distribution or gain allocated to a prior taxable year, other than a year prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be taxed at the highest U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income in effect for such taxable year, and a U.S. Holder would be subject to an interest charge (at the rate generally applicable to an underpayment of tax) on the resulting tax liability, determined as if the tax liability had been due with respect to such particular taxable year. The portion of the excess distribution or gain that is not allocated to prior taxable years, together with the portion allocated to the years prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be included in a U.S. Holder’s gross income for the taxable years of the excess distribution or disposition and taxed as ordinary income.

If we were a PFIC in any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, we would generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder's investment unless the U.S. Holder has made certain elections under the PFIC rules, such as a mark-to-market election or a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election. Prospective investors should assume, however, that a QEF election will not be available because we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information needed to make such an election. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors concerning the consequences to them if we are or become a PFIC, including but not limited to any reporting requirements and the availability and applicability of any election that may be available to mitigate adverse consequences, in light of such U.S. Holders' particular circumstances.

If we were regarded as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of ADSs or common stock generally would be required to file an information return on Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 8621 for any year in which the U.S. Holder received a direct or indirect distribution with respect to the ADSs or common stock, recognized gain on a direct or indirect disposition of the ADSs or common stock, or made an election with respect to the ADSs or common stock, reporting distributions received and gains realized with respect to the ADSs or common stock. In addition, if we were regarded as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be required to file an annual information return (also on IRS Form 8621) relating to the U.S. Holder's ownership of the ADSs or common stock. This requirement would be in addition to other reporting requirements applicable to ownership in a PFIC.

The rules applicable to owning stock of a PFIC are complex. We encourage U.S. Holders to consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding the ADSs or common stock that would arise if we were considered a PFIC.

163


Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements

U.S. backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally apply to certain payments made to certain non-corporate holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of ADSs or common stock made within the United States or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman to a holder of ADSs or common stock (other than an "exempt recipient," including a corporation, a payee that is not a U.S. person that provides an appropriate certification, and certain other persons).

A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ADSs or common stock within the United States or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman to a U.S. Holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against a U.S. Holder's regular U.S. federal income tax liability or, if in excess of such liability, refunded by the IRS if a timely refund claim is filed with the IRS.

Information With Respect To Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to report information with respect to such holder's interest in "specified foreign financial assets" (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code), including stock of a non-U.S. corporation that is not held in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds certain dollar thresholds. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset reporting obligations and their possible application to the holding of the ADSs or common stock.

The discussion above is a general summary only. It is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations applicable to an investment in ADSs or common stock. Each prospective U.S. Holder should consult with such U.S. Holder’s own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences to such U.S. Holder of an investment in ADSs or common stock, in light of such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

ITEM 11.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks that arise from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates risk, each of which will have an impact on us. We do not generally hedge our long-term liabilities in foreign currencies but hedge our obligations for the current year. As of December 31, 2020, assets in foreign currencies represented 172% of our liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed through a mix of fixed and variable rate liabilities and assets, including short-term fixed rate assets. Our exposure to such market risks fluctuated during 2018, 2019 and 2020 as the Indonesian economy was affected by changes in the U.S. Dollar to Indonesian Rupiah exchange rate and interest rates themselves. We are not able to predict whether such conditions will continue during 2021 or thereafter.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen. Our exposures to other foreign exchange rates are not material. The foreign currency exchange rate risks on our obligations are expected to be partly offset by time deposits and receivables denominated in foreign currencies, which are generally equal to at least 25% of our current foreign currency liabilities.

For the sensitivity analysis of the risk of foreign exchange rate exposure, we take into consideration the assets and liabilities with exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates recorded in our consolidated balance sheet. This analysis considers only financial assets and financial liabilities registered in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen, since our exposure to exchange variations against other foreign currencies is not material.

Information on such sensitivity analysis showing the impact on our equity and profit/(loss) of hypothetical variations of the U.S. Dollar and the Japanese Yen against the Rupiah as of December 31, 2020 can be found in Note 35.b.i of our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2020, we estimate that 1% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Rupiah and 5% appreciation of the Japanese Yen against the Rupiah would cause Rp33 billion profit (compared to Rp18 billion profit as of December 31, 2019) and Rp21 billion loss (compared to Rp25 billion loss as of December 31, 2019), respectively. Further, as of December 31, 2020, we estimate that 1% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Rupiah and 5% depreciation of the Japanese Yen against the Rupiah would cause Rp33 billion loss and Rp21 billion profit, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

The below table shows a break down by main categories of financial assets and financial liabilities of our exposure to foreign currency risk as of December 31, 2020:

Notes:

(1)Asset and liabilities denominated in other foreign currencies are presented as U.S. Dollar equivalent using the Reuters bid and offer rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period.
(2)Long-term liabilities for the purpose of this table consist of loans denominated in foreign currencies from two-step loans and long-term bank loans.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from changes to the floating rate applied for long-term debt. Borrowings at variable interest rates expose our Company and our subsidiaries to interest rate risk. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we aim to balance the share of our fixed rate loans and floating rate loans in our bank borrowings. We try to achieve this where there are opportunities to increase the share of fixed-rate loans in our overall loan portfolio in light of prevailing interest rates available in the market at any given time and based on market and our expectations as to future floating and fixed interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 61.4% (based on the aggregate then outstanding principal) of our total bank borrowings were floating-rate loans. To measure market risk fluctuations in interest rates, our Company and our subsidiaries primarily use the interest margin and maturity profile of the financial assets and liabilities based on the changing schedule of the interest rate.

In this annual report on Form 20-F, we chose to provide investors with the results of a sensitivity analysis related to our interest rate risk sensitive instruments as opposed to the tabular presentation of information related to interest rate risk sensitive instruments we disclosed in previous annual reports on Form 20-F. We believe such presentation, together with comparable information for the financial year ended December 31, 2019, makes it easier to understand the impact of variations in interest rates on our Company's financial performance and financial position as we use selected hypothetical changes in interest rates to illustrate such impact. We also believe this type of sensitivity analysis provides useful information and is widely used by investors for measuring the impact of such variations on interest rate risk sensitive instruments held by issuers.

166


As of December 31, 2020, we estimate that a decrease by 25 basis points in the interest rates of our variable rate borrowings would have increased our equity and profit or loss by Rp99 billion (compared with a Rp73 billion increase as of December 31, 2020); a similar increase by 25 basis points in the interest rates of our variable rate borrowings would have decreased our equity and profit or loss by Rp99 billion (compared with a Rp73 billion decrease as of December 31, 2020). The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial obligations to us in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract as and when they fall due. Credit risk arises mainly from trade receivables from the sales of products and services. Our management has a credit policy in place to monitor credit risk on an ongoing basis. As at December 31, 2020 there were
no significant concentrations of credit risk. Since early 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, certain of our customers, in particular in the Enterprise segment, have been facing business and financial difficulties. We have increased the monitoring of our customers' accounts and the balance of our receivables. We have agreement to postpone payments of fees due for certain of our enterprise customers in consideration of our pre-existing business relationship with them and in light of current circumstances and hardship. In an effort to attenuate such counterparty risk, since early 2020 we have asked our individual customers to make a one-month deposit based on their standard subscription fee that can be used to offset any fee amount accrued and unpaid. As at December 31, 2020, customers' default on fee payments had not significantly increased compared to the preceding financial year. For additional information on the maximum exposure to credit risk of our financial assets as at December 31, 2020, please refer to Note 35.b.iv to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We classify our financial assets as at amortized cost, at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL") and Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI"). We are exposed to changes in debt and equity market prices related to financial assets measured at FVTPL carried at fair value. Gains arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at FVTPL are recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. We monitor periodically the performance of our financial assets measured at FVTPL, and we regularly assess their relevance to our long-term strategic plans.

As of December 31, 2020, our management considered the price risk for our financial assets measured at FVTPL to be immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss and total equity from a reasonably possible change in fair value.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises in situations where we experience difficulties in fulfilling our financial obligations when they become due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash in order to meet our financial obligations. We regularly monitor our financial position ratios, such as liquidity ratios and debt-to-equity ratios, and our ability to comply with applicable covenant in our financial agreements. For additional information on our exposure to liquidity risk, please refer to Note 35.b.v to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 12.           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

American Depositary Shares

Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (previously "The Bank of New York") serves as the "Depositary" for our ADSs, which are traded on the NYSE. See Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 20-F for a description of our ADSs.

167


Investors pay a depositary fee directly, or through a broker acting on their behalf, for the delivery or surrender of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal. The Depositary also collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting the fee from the amount distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to pay the fee. The Depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by making a deduction from the cash distributions or by directly billing investors or charging the book-entry system accounts of the parties acting on their behalf. The Depositary may refuse to provide fee-generating services until its bills for such services are paid.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

Shares or evidence of the right to receive shares may be deposited by delivery to the custodian, accompanied by the required documentation and certification and, if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order, an ADR or ADRs for the number of ADS representing such deposit. The deposited securities, which shall consist of the deposited shares and any and all other securities, property and cash deposited with the Depositary or the custodian (the "Deposited Securities") shall be held by the Depositary or by a custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

Upon receipt by the custodian of any deposit, together with the other documents required, the custodian shall notify the Depositary and the person or persons to whom or upon whose written order an ADR or ADRs are deliverable. Upon receiving such notice from the custodian, or upon the receipt of shares by the Depositary, and upon the receipt of the payment of applicable fees, taxes and charges, the Depositary will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled to the ADRs the appropriate number of ADRs registered in the name or names and evidencing any authorized number of ADS requested by such person.

Holders of ADRs may surrender their ADRs at the Depositary's corporate trust office. Upon such surrender and the payment of applicable fees, taxes and charges, the Depositary shall deliver to such holders or upon their order the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADS evidenced by the ADR. Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of (a) certificates in the name of such person in whose name an ADR is registered (an "ADR Holder") or as ordered by him or certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to such owner or as ordered by him and (b) any other securities, property and cash to which such owner is then entitled in respect of such ADRs. The Deposited Securities are to be delivered at the corporate trust office of the Depositary, if feasible.

Rights of the ADR Holders to Inspect the Books of the Depositary and the List of ADR Holders

The Depositary will make available for inspection by ADR Holders the books for the registration and transfers of ADRs at its corporate trust office, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with the ADR Holders in the interest of a business or object other than our business or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the ADRs.

Voting Rights

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting of shareholders or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall provide ADR Holders with a notice of such meeting. Such notice shall contain the same information as is contained in such notice of meeting and a statement that the ADR Holders as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of shares represented by their respective ADSs and a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the ADR Holder's request on such record date, received on or before the date specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the ADS evidenced by such ADR in accordance with the ADR Holder's instructions.

168


If no such instructions are received by the Depositary on or before the date specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall deem that such holder of ADRs has instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to such Deposited Securities and, if and to the extent permitted under Indonesian laws and our Articles of Association, the Depositary shall give a direction proxy to a person designated by us to vote such Deposited Securities, except where we have informed the Depositary that we do not wish such proxy to be given or that such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the shares.

Dividends and Other Distributions

An ADR Holder generally has the right to receive the distributions we make on the Deposited Securities. Such ADR Holder's receipt of these distributions may be limited, however, by practical considerations and legal limitations. ADR Holders will receive such distributions under the terms of the Deposit Agreement in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of a specified record date, after deduction the applicable fees, taxes and expenses.

Cash Distributions

Whenever the Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall convert such dividend or distribution into U.S. Dollars and distribute the amount so receive to the entitled ADR Holders in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held by them. Where we are or the Depositary is required to withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, and such amount is so withheld, the amount distributed to the relevant ADR Holders shall be reduced accordingly.

Distributions of Shares

When a distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, shares, the Depositary may distribute to the entitled ADR Holders, in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, additional ADRs evidencing an aggregate number of ADS representing the amount of shares received as dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and the withholding or any tax or other governmental charge. If we have not provided satisfactory assurances that such distribution would not require registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary may withhold the distribution of ADRs.

In lieu of delivering receipts for fractional ADS, the Depositary shall sell the amount of share represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds as in the case of a cash distribution.

Distributions of Rights

In the event that we offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities, any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after having consulted with us, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any ADR Holders or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any ADR Holders. If, by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any ADR Holders, or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such ADR Holders in U.S. Dollar, the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse.

If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain ADR Holders but not to other ADR Holders, the Depositary may, after consultation with us, distribute to any ADR Holder to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of ADS held by such ADR Holder, warrants or other instruments in such form as it deems appropriate.

169


In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an ADR Holder requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the ADS of such ADR Holder, the Depositary will make such rights available to such ADR Holder upon written notice from us to the Depositary. ADRs so distributed shall be legend in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and all be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under such laws.

If the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain ADR Holders, upon instruction from such ADR Holder pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary to exercise such rights, upon payment by such ADR Holder to the Depositary for the account of such ADR Holder of an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees of the Depositary and any other applicable charges, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such ADR Holder, exercise such rights and purchase the shares. The shares will then be deposited and the Depositary shall execute and deliver the ADRs to the ADR Holder.

If the Depositary determines that it is not lawful and feasible to make such right available to all or certain ADR Holders, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of ADS held by the ADR Holders to whom it has determined may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and allocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees of the Depositary and all taxes and governmental charges), upon averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such ADR Holders because of exchange restrictions or the date of deliver of any ADR or otherwise and distribute the net proceeds to the extent possible as in the case of a cash distribution.

The Depositary will not offer rights to ADR Holders having an address in the United States unless both the rights and the securities to which such rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to a distribution to all ADR Holders or are registered under the Securities Act.

Distributions Other than Cash, Shares or Rights

When the Depositary receives distributions other than cash, shares or rights, the Depositary shall cause the securities or property received by it to be distributed to the ADR Holders entitled thereto, after reduction or upon payment of any applicable fees, expense, taxes or other charges, in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively; provided, however, that if in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among the entitled ADR Holders, or if for any other reason, the Depositary deems such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may adopt such method as it may deem equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including, but not limited to the public or private sale of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, and the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees) shall be distributed by the Depositary to the entitled ADR Holders as in the case of a cash distribution.

Procedures for Transmitting Notices, Reports and Proxy Soliciting Material

We shall provide to the Depositary and the custodian, on or before the first date on which we give notice of any meeting of shareholders or other Deposited Securities, or of any adjourned meeting of such holders, or of the taking of any action in respect of any cash of other distributions or the offering of any rights, a copy of such notice and a translation of such notice and any other reports and communications which are generally made available by us to the holders of our shares. The Depositary will arrange for the mailing of copies of such notices, reports and communications to all ADR Holders at our request.

170


Reclassification, Recapitalization and Mergers

In circumstances not considered to be distribution of shares, upon any change in nominal value, change in par value, split-up, consolidation, or any other reclassification of the Deposited Securities, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or sale of assets affecting us or to which we are a party, any securities which shall be received by the Depositary or a custodian in exchange for or in conversion of or in respect of the Deposited Securities shall be treated as new Deposited Securities under the Deposit Agreement, and the ADS shall represent, in addition to the existing Deposited Securities, the right to receive the new Deposited Securities received in exchange for conversion. The Depositary may also or, if requested by us, shall execute and deliver additional receipts as in the case of a dividend in shares, or call for the surrender of outstanding ADRs to be exchanged for new ADRs specifically describing such new Deposited Securities.

If the Depositary determines that any such adjustment, delivery or exchange is not lawful or practicable, the Depositary may sell such securities or property at a public or private sale and distribute the net proceeds to the entitled ADR Holders as in the case of a cash distribution.

Depository Payments

We entered into a new agreement with the Depositary in 2016 pursuant to which the Depositary agreed to reimburse us up to US$1.0 million in 2016 and up to US$850,000 in each of the subsequent six years for certain expenses we incur in relation to the administration and maintenance of the ADS facility, including, but not limited to, investor relations expenses, legal fees and disbursements and other ADS program-related expenses. The reimbursement will be adjusted if the Depositary's collection of dividend fees and the number of ADSs outstanding falls below a stipulated minimum. In 2020, we received reimbursement of approximately US$927,141.30 from the Depositary for such expenses.

The Depositary did not waive, or pay directly to third parties on our behalf, any expenses relating to the year ended December 31, 2020.

Payment of Taxes

ADR Holders are responsible for any taxes or other governmental charges payable on their ADSs or on the deposited securities represented by any of their ADSs. The Depositary may refuse to register any transfer of the ADR Holders' ADRs or allow such ADR Holders to withdraw the Deposited Securities represented by their respective ADRs until such taxes or other charges are paid and may withhold any dividends or other distributions. It may apply payments owed to the ADR Holders or sell Deposited Securities represented by such ADR Holders' ADRs to pay any taxes owed and such ADR Holders will remain liable for any deficiency.

Shareholders depositing or withdrawing ordinary shares or ADS must pay:

For:

US$5 (or less) per 100 ADS (or part of 100 ADS).

As necessary.

As necessary.

Amendment

We may agree with the Depositary to amend the Deposit Agreement and the ADRs without the consent of ADR Holders. Any amendment which shall add or increase fees or charges (except for taxes and other governmental charges or registration fees, cable, telex or facsimile transmission costs, delivery charges or similar items), or which shall prejudice a substantial existing right of ADR Holders, shall, however, not become effective as to outstanding ADRs until thirty (30) days after the Depositary notifies ADR Holders of such amendment. Every ADR Holder at the time any amendment so becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such ADRs, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the ADRs and the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby.

Restrictions on the Right to Transfer or Withdraw the Underlying Securities/Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer and Surrender of ADRs

As a condition precedent to any execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination or surrender of any ADR or withdrawal of any Deposited Securities, the Depositary, custodian, registrar or we may require payment by the presentor of the ADRs of a sum sufficient to reimburse any of them for any applicable taxes or governmental charges, fees and expenses and the production of proof satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as we or the Depositary may establish consistent with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement.

During the period when the transfer books of the Depositary are closed or when we or the Depositary deem necessary and advisable or to comply with a requirement of law or any government or governmental body or commission, or for any other reason, the delivery of ADRs may be suspended, the transfer of ADRs in certain instance may be refused, or the registration of transfer of outstanding ADRs generally may be suspended, subject to certain exceptions.

Without limitation of the foregoing, the Depositary will not knowingly accept for deposit under the Deposit Agreement any shares required to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, unless a registration statement is in effect as to such shares.

Prior to delivery, transfer or surrender of ADRs or withdrawal of shares or other Deposited Securities, an indemnity bond may be required if the Depositary deems that fees, taxes or other charges will be payable following such transactions.

Limitations on Obligations and Liability

The Deposit Agreement expressly limits our obligations and liability and the obligations and liability of the Depositary. We and the Depositary are only obligated to take the actions in good faith and without being negligent as specifically set forth in the Deposit Agreement.

172


Neither we nor the Depositary have any obligation to become involved in a lawsuit or other proceeding related to the ADRs or the Deposit Agreement on behalf of ADR Holders or on behalf of any other person unless we or the Depositary, as applicable, have been provided with satisfactory indemnity against all expense and liabilities.

Neither we nor the Depositary shall be liable for any of our or the Depositary's action or non-action in reliance on the advice or information from legal counsel, accountants, any person presenting shares for deposit, any ADR Holder or any other person we or the Depositary believed in good faith to be competent to give such advice or information.

ITEM 14.            MATERIAL MODIFICATIONS TO THE RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Not applicable.

ITEM 15.            CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

A.                         DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2020, as required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act.

Our management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2020, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Controls and procedures conducted by management include controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

B.                         MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). The internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the CEO and CFO, and executed by the Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of our Company (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB, and that receipts and expenditures of our Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and Board of Directors, and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our Company's assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

173


Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") (2013 framework). Based on this assessment, management concluded that as of December 31, 2020, our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

C.                         ATTESTATION REPORT OF THE REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by KAP Purwantono, Sungkoro & Surja, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

D.                         CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There have been no significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal year that would materially affect or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We are committed to continual improvements in internal control processes, and will continue to review and monitor the control over financial reporting and its procedures in order to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations as stipulated by COSO. We will also continue to assign significant company resources from time to time to improve our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 16A.         AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT

In February 26, 2021, the Board of Commissioners determined that Mr. Emmanuel Bambang Suyitno, a member of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an Audit Committee Financial Expert in accordance with the requirements of Item 16A of Form 20-F and as an "independent" member in accordance with the provisions of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. Mr. Suyitno has been a member of our Audit Committee since September 1, 2020.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

We have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved by our Audit Committee, as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. Pursuant to the charter, permissible non-audit services may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm provided that: (i) our Board of Directors must deliver to the Audit Committee (through the Board of Commissioners) a detailed description of the non-audit service that is to be performed by the independent public accounting firm, and (ii) the Audit Committee will determine whether the proposed non-audit service will affect the independence of our independent public accounting firm or would give rise to any conflict of interest.

Pursuant to Section 10(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X issued there under, our Audit Committee Charter waives the pre-approval requirement for permissible non-audit services where: (i) the aggregate amount of the fees for such non-audit services constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of fees paid by us to our independent registered public accounting firm during the year in which the services are provided; or (ii) the proposed services are not regarded as non-audit services at the time the contract to perform the engagement is signed. In addition to these two requirements, the performance of non-audit services must be approved prior to the completion of the audit by a member of the Audit Committee who has been delegated pre-approval authority by the full Audit Committee, or by the full Audit Committee itself.

ITEM 16D.         EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

The NYSE listing standards require that a United States listed company must have an audit committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards.

The Indonesian Company Law does not require Indonesian public companies to form any of the committees described in the NYSE listing standards. However, the OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires the board of commissioners of a public company to establish an audit committee which is chaired by an independent commissioner. In addition, the OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires each member of such audit committee to be either an independent commissioner or external independent member, with the audit committee comprised of at least three members with at least one independent commissioner and one external independent member and at least one member of the audit committee having expertise in accounting or finance.

175


The NYSE listing standards, as required by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act require foreign private issuers whose shares are listed on the NYSE to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. However, such foreign private issuers may be exempted from the independence requirement if: (i) the home country government or stock exchange requires the company to have an audit committee; (ii) the audit committee is separate from the board of directors and includes non-board members as in our case, members from the Board of Commissioners; (iii) the audit committee members are not selected by management and no executive officer of the company is a member of the audit committee; (iv) the home country government or stock exchange requires the audit committee to be independent of the company's management; and (v) the audit committee is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of external auditors. We avail ourselves of this exemption and document this on our Section 303A Annual Written Affirmations submitted to the NYSE. However, unlike the NYSE listing standards requirements, according to the current regulations relating to audit committees in Indonesia, our Audit Committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and retention of an external auditor. Our Audit Committee may only recommend the appointment of an external auditor to the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Commissioner's decision must have the approval of the shareholders.

Our Audit Committee has seven members: three Independent Commissioners, two Commissioners and two external independent members who are not affiliated with our Company.

Not all members of our Audit Committee are independent directors as required by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. We rely on the general exemption under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) regarding the composition of our Audit Committee. We believe that our reliance on this exemption does not materially and adversely affect the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently.

Further, we believe that the intent of the provision which requires each member of an audit committee to be an independent director is to ensure that the audit committee is independent from influence by management and provides a forum separate from management in which auditors and other interested parties can candidly discuss concerns. The OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires each member of an audit committee to be either an independent commissioner or external independent member. Such external independent member(s) is/are, in effect, independent not only of management but also of the Board of Commissioners, the Board of Directors and our Company as a whole. We therefore believe that the standard established by the OJK Audit Committee Regulation is at least equally effective in ensuring the ability of an audit committee to act independently.

Not applicable.

ITEM 16G.         CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a summary of significant differences between the corporate governance practices followed by Indonesian companies and those required by NYSE listing standards for domestic United States issuers.

176


A.                         OVERVIEW OF INDONESIAN LAW

Indonesian public companies are required to observe and comply with certain good corporate governance practices. The requirements and the standards for good corporate governance practices for public companies are embodied in the following regulations: the Indonesian Company Law; the Indonesian Capital Market Law; the Indonesian Law on SOEs; Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No.PER-09/MBU/2012 on Amendment of Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No.PER-01/MBU/2011 on the Implementation of Good Corporate Governance to State-Owned Enterprises; OJK regulations; and IDX rules. In addition to the above, the articles of association of public companies incorporate provisions directing the implementation of good corporate governance practices.

Similar to the laws of the United States, Indonesian laws require public companies to observe and comply with corporate governance standards that are more stringent than those applied to privately-owned companies. In Indonesia, the term "public company" does not necessarily refer to a company whose shares are listed on a securities exchange. Under the Indonesian Capital Markets Law, a non-listed company may be deemed a public company, and subjected to the laws and regulations governing public companies, if such company meets or exceeds the capital and number of shareholder requirements applicable to a public company.

On November 30, 2004, the National Committee on Governance Policy (Komite Nasional Kebijakan Governance, "KNKG") was established pursuant to the Decree of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs No.KEP.49/M.EKONOM/1/2004 ("KEP.49"), which was formed to revitalize the former National Committee on Good Corporate Governance established in 1999. The KNKG aims to enhance the comprehension and implementation of good governance in Indonesia and advises the Government on governance issues, both in public and corporate sectors. KEP.49 was lastly amended and revoked by the Decree of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs No. 117 of 2016. Pursuant to Decree No.44 of 2021 on KNKG issued on 2021, the KNKG will have, among other things, a new organizational structure and new duties (such as monitoring and evaluating the implementation of good governance relating to the new licensing policy introduced by the Job Creation Law).

The KNKG formulated the Code for Good Corporate Governance 2006 (the "GCG Code") which recommended setting more stringent corporate governance standards for Indonesian companies, such as the appointment of independent commissioners and nomination and remuneration committees by the board of commissioners, as well as increasing the scope of disclosure obligations for Indonesian companies. Although the KNKG recommended that the GCG Code be adopted by the Government as a basis for legal reform, as of the date of this annual report on Form 20-F, the Government has not enacted regulations that fully implement the provisions of the GCG Code.

In 2014, the OJK issued the Indonesia Corporate Governance Roadmap, which provides for recommendations for Indonesian issuers and public companies to implement certain corporate governance standards, such as procedures with respect to conduct of EGMS and nominations of directors and commissioners.

B.                         COMPOSITION OF INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a United States listed company must consist of a majority of independent directors and that certain committees must consist solely of independent directors. A director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly.

Unlike companies incorporated in the United States, the management of an Indonesian company consists of two organs of equal stature, the board of directors and the board of commissioners. Generally, the board of directors is responsible for the day-to-day business activities of the company and is authorized to act for and on behalf of the company, while the board of commissioners has the authority and responsibility to supervise the board of directors and is statutorily mandated to provide advice to the board of directors by the Indonesian Company Law.

177


The Indonesian Company Law requires the board of commissioners of a public company to have at least two members. Although the Indonesian Company Law is silent as to the composition of the board of commissioners, OJK Rule No.33/2014 states that at least 30% of the members of the board of commissioners of a public company (such as our Company) must be independent.

The Indonesian Company Law provides that the board of directors of a publicly listed company has the authority to manage the daily operations of the company and must have at least two members, each of whom must meet the minimum qualification requirements set forth in the Indonesian Company Law and the capital market laws.

Given the difference between the role of the members of the board of directors in an Indonesian company and that of their counterparts in a United States company, Indonesian law does not require that certain members of the board of directors must be independent and neither does it require the creation of certain committees composed entirely of independent directors.

C.                         COMMITTEES

See "Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees."

D.                         DISCLOSURE REGARDING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The NYSE listing standards require United States companies to adopt, and post on their websites, a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession, and an annual performance evaluation itself. In addition, the CEO of a United States company must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violations by the company of the NYSE's corporate governance listing standards. The certification must be disclosed in our annual report to shareholders. Indonesian law does not have disclosure requirements similar to NYSE listing standards. However, the Indonesian Capital Markets Law generally requires Indonesian public companies to disclose certain types of information to shareholders, and to the OJK and the IDX, e.g: information relating to changes in the public company's shareholdings and material information or facts that may affect the decision of shareholders to maintain their share ownership in the public company or investment decision of potential third party investors.

E.                         CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

The NYSE listing standards require each United States listed company to adopt, and post on its website, a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. There is no similar requirement under Indonesian law. However, companies that are required to file or furnish reports to the SEC must disclose in their annual reports whether they have adopted a code of ethics for their senior financial officers. Although the requirements as to the contents of the code of ethics under SEC rules are not identical to those set forth in the NYSE listing standards, there are significant similarities in which under SEC rules, the code of ethics must be designed to promote: (a) honest and ethical conduct, including the handling of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (b) full, fair, accurate and timely disclosure in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC; (c) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (d) prompt internal reporting of violations of the code and (e) accountability for adherence to the code. Furthermore, shareholders must be given access to physical or electronic copies of the code.

Report No. 00013/2.1032/NS.0/06/1007-2/1/IV/2021

To the Shareholders and the Boards of Commissioners and Directors of

Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated April 30, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Adoption of a New Accounting Standard

As discussed in Note 2l to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group has changed its method for accounting for leases since January 1, 2019 following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards 16, “Leases”.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the United States federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (continued)

Report No. 00013/2.1032/NS.0/06/1007-2/1/IV/2021 (continued)

Basis for Opinion (continued)

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee of the Company and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.  The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of property and equipment estimated useful lives

As of December 31, 2020, the balance of consolidated property and equipment of the Group was Rp159,123 billion. As discussed in Notes 2aa and 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment at least annually and such estimates are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to changes in expectation of physical wear and tear, technical, or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limitations on the continuing use of the property and equipment.

Auditing the Group's estimated useful lives of property and equipment is complex and requires significant judgment because the determination of the estimated useful lives considers a number of factors, including strategic business plans, expected future technological developments, and market behavior.

Critical Audit Matter (continued)

Evaluation of property and equipment estimated useful lives (continued)

We obtained an understanding, and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness, of internal controls over the Group’s process of estimating the useful lives of its property and equipment. For example, we tested management’s review control on checking the completeness and accuracy of the historical assets classification data and assessing the appropriateness of the judgments regarding the most relevant data to be considered in determining useful lives.

To test whether the estimated useful lives of property and equipment used by management was reasonable, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of management’s strategy related to assets replacement and assessed the reasonableness of such assumptions by considering external sources, such as telecommunication technology growth, changes in market demand, and current economic and regulatory trends.  We assessed whether there were any potential sources of contrary information by performing benchmarking analysis on the estimated useful lives of property and equipment against other public companies within the telecommunication industry.  We also performed observation of property and equipment and assessed the average usage period of disposed assets to evaluate whether the assets were being used in accordance with the applicable accounting policy.

Report No. 00012/2.1032/NS.0/06/1007-2/1/IV/2021 (continued)

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Figures in the consolidated financial statements are presented and rounded to billions of Indonesian rupiah (“Rp") and millions of US$, unless otherwise stated. For the figures in the consolidated financial statements which still contain values but below Rp1 billion and US$1 million, are presented with zeros.

2.Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8: Definition of Material

3.Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

4.Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting issued on Mach 29, 2018.

b.   Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consist of the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries over which it has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has the power over the investee, exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

i.

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,

ii.

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements, and

iii.

The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains financial control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) are attributed to the equity holders of the Company and to the non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

All intra-Group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flow relating to transactions within Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

In case of loss of control over a subsidiary, the Group:

derecognized the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at the carrying amounts on the date when it loses control;

derecognized the carrying amounts of any non-controlling interests of its former subsidiary on the date when it loses control;

recognized the fair value of the consideration received (if any) from the transaction, events, or condition that caused the loss of control;

recognized the fair value of any investment retained in the subsidiary at fair value on the date of loss of control;

recognized any surplus or deficit in profit or loss that is attributable to the Group.

c.   Transactions with related parties

The Group has transactions with related parties. The definition of related parties used is in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 24, Related Party Disclosures. The party which is considered a related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements.

Key management personnel are identified as the persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group. The related party status extends to the key management of the subsidiaries to the extent they direct the operations of subsidiaries with minimal involvement from the Company’s management.

d.   Business combinations and goodwill

Business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at fair value, which is the aggregate of the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, non-controlling interest is measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed, and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group shall report in its consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Group shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. The measurement period ends immediately after the Company receives the information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date or learns that additional information cannot be obtained. However, the measurement period must not exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognizes the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss.

Business combination between businesses or entities under common control does not result in a change of the economic substance of the ownership of assets, liabilities, shares or other instruments of ownership, which are exchanged, assets or liabilities transferred are recorded at book value using the pooling-of-interests method. The excess of consideration paid or received over the carrying value of interest acquired or sold, net of income tax, is directly recognized to retained earnings.

e.   Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash in banks and on hand and short-term highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to  a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Group’s cash management.

Time deposits with maturities of more than three months but not more than one year are presented as part of “Other Current Financial Assets” in the consolidated statements of financial position (Note 2s).

f.    Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group (as investor) has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but does not include control or joint control over those operating policies. The considerations made in determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. Holding of 20% or more of the voting power of the investee (held directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries) is presumed to give rise to significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Conversely, a holding of less than 20% of the voting power is presumed not to give

rise to significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that there is in fact significant influence.

The existence of significant influence will usually be evidenced in one or more of the following ways:

i.

representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;

ii.

participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends and other distributions;

iii.

material transactions between the investor and the investee;

iv.

interchange of managerial personnel; or

v.

provision of essential technical information.

The Group’s investments in its associates are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the investor’s share of the net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. On acquisition of the investment, any difference between the cost of the investment and the entity’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as follows:

i.    Goodwill relating to an associate or a joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment.

ii.    Any excess of the entity’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the entity’s share of the associate or joint venture’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

The consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income reflect the Group’s share of the results of operations of the associate. Any change in the other comprehensive income of the associate is presented as part of other comprehensive income. In addition, when there has been a change recognized directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognizes its share of the change in the consolidated statements of changes in equity. Unrealized gain and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investments in associates are impaired. If there is, the Group calculates and recognizes the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in the associates and their carrying value.

These assets are included in “Long-term Investments in Associates” in the consolidated statements of financial position.

For the reporting purpose of investment in associates using the equity method, the assets and liabilities as of the statement of financial position date with functional currency other than Rupiah  are translated into Indonesian Rupiah using the rate of exchange prevailing at that date, while revenues and expenses are translated into Indonesian rupiah at the average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as part of “translation adjustment” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position.

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

g.   Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses at each reporting date. The Group has established a credit provision methodology that is based on its historical credit loss experience which adjusted by specific forward-looking factors from the customer and the economic environment. Receivables are written off in the year are determined to be uncollectible (Note 2s).

h.   Inventories

Inventories consist of components, which represent telephone terminals, cables, and other spare parts. Inventories also include Subscriber Identification Module (“SIM”) cards, handsets, wireless broadband modems, and blank prepaid vouchers.

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by either estimating the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost to sell or determining the prevailing replacement costs.

The costs of inventories consist of the purchase price, import duties, other taxes, transport, handling, and other costs directly attributable to their acquisition.

Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

The amounts of any write-down of inventories below cost to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognized as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, is recognized as a reduction in the amount of general and administrative expenses in the year in which the reversal occurs.

Provision for obsolescence is primarily based on the estimated forecast of future usage of these inventory items.

i.    Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses are amortized over their future beneficial periods using the straight-line method.

j.    Intangible assets

Intangible assets mainly consist of software. Intangible assets are recognized if it is highly probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to each asset will flow to the Group, and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Group estimates the recoverable value of its intangible assets. When the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount.

Intangible assets are derecognized on disposal, or when no further economic benefits are expected, either from further use or from disposal. The difference between the carrying amount and the net proceeds received from disposal is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

k.    Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization, and impairment losses, if any.

The cost of an item of property and equipment includes: (a) purchase price, (b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its location and condition, and (c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located. Each part of an item of property and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.

Property and equipment are depreciated or amortized using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

    

Years

Buildings

amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset is already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

Property and equipment acquired in exchange for a non-monetary asset or for a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets are measured at fair value unless, (i) the exchange transaction lacks commercial substance; or (ii) the fair value of neither the asset received nor the asset given up is measured reliably.

Major spare parts and standby equipment that are expected to be used for more than 12 months are recorded as part of property and equipment.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, their cost and the related accumulated depreciation are derecognized from the consolidated statements of financial position and the resulting gains or losses on the disposal or sale of the property and equipment are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Certain computer hardware cannot be used without the availability of certain computer software. In such circumstance, the computer software is recorded as part of the computer hardware. If the computer software is independent from its computer hardware, it is recorded as part of intangible assets.

The cost of maintenance and repairs are charged to the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Property under construction is stated at cost until the construction is completed, at which time it is reclassified to the property and equipment account to which it relates. During the construction period until the property is ready for its intended use or sale, borrowing costs, which include interest expense and foreign currency exchange differences incurred on loans obtained to finance the construction of the asset, as long as it meets the definition of a qualifying asset are, capitalized in proportion to the average amount of accumulated expenditures during the period. Capitalization of borrowing cost ceases when the construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

l.    Leases

Prior to January 1, 2019

Based on IAS 17, in determining whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, the Group performs an evaluation over the substance of the arrangement. A lease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease based on the substance, not the form of the contract. Finance lease is recognized if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the leased asset.

Assets and liabilities under a finance lease are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs of the Group are added to the amount recognized as assets.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

Leased assets are depreciated using the same method and based on the useful lives as estimated for directly acquired property and equipment. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease terms, the leased assets are fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their economic useful lives.

Lease arrangements that do not meet the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases for which payments are charged as an expense on the straight-line basis over the lease period.

Effective January 1, 2019

IFRS 16 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease agreements and its treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. IFRS 16 introduces a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

The Group adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated and it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and the related interpretations.

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term corresponds to the non-cancellable period of each contract, except in cases where the Group is reasonably certain of exercising renewal options contractually foreseen.

The Group has made use of the package of practical expedients available under the transition guidance within IFRS 16, which among other things:

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases;
the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;
apply IFRS 16 to leases that were previously identified under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, and not to apply IFRS 16 to those that were not previously identified under these two standards;
not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead, account for both as a single lease component; and
not to recognize a lease liability and a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset for leases where the underlying assets are low-value assets (i.e. underlying assets with a maximum value of US$5,000 or Rp50 million when new).

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

IFRS 16 also permits the Group not to reassess the Group prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and the Group has elected to carry forward the historical lease assessments and relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The Group applies the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in IFRS 16 to all lease contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019.

i.

The Group as Lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and ROU assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

The Group recognizes ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, restoration costs and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

    

Years

Land rights

 

50

Buildings

 

15-40

Transmission installation and equipment

 

3-25

Power supply

 

3-20

Vehicles

 

4-8

Others

 

2-25

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The ROU assets are subject to impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect

the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases with a duration of less than 12 months, short-term lease ends within 12 months after January 1, 2019 and low-value leases, as well as those lease elements, partially or totally not complying with the principles of recognition defined by IFRS 16 will be treated similarly to operating leases. The Group will recognize those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

ii.

The Group as Lessor

Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. Leases in which the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as finance leases, otherwise it will be classified as an operating leases. Lease classification is made at the inception date and is reassessed only if there is a lease modification.

At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and present it as finance lease receivable. The net investment in the lease include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and residual value guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the lessee and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

As required by IFRS 9, an allowance for expected credit loss has been recognized on the finance lease receivables and presented under "Other receivables".

Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration in the contract. Revenue arising from operating lease is recorded as Revenue from Lessor Transactions (Note 2p).

m.  Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and/or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

n.   Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Fees paid on obtaining loan facilities are recognized as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facilities will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the drawdown occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facilities will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortized over the period of the facilities to which it relates.

p.   Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue from contract with customers

IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework to determine how, when and how much revenue is to be recognized. The standard provides a single, principles-based five-step model for the determination and recognition of revenue to be applied to all contracts with customers. The standard also provides specific guidance requiring certain types of costs to obtain and/or fulfil a contract to be capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the capitalized cost relates.

Below is the summary of the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy for each revenue stream:

i.     Mobile

Revenue from mobile primarily comprises of revenue from cellular service which among others: telephone service, interconnection service, internet and data service and short messaging services (“SMS”) service. Those services are offered on postpaid or prepaid basis, which for prepaid, the sales of starter packs (also known as SIM cards and start-up load vouchers) and pulse reload vouchers are recognized initially as contract liabilities.

All mobile services revenues are recognized based on output method, either per actual usage or allowance unit used (if services sold in plan basis), because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.

For services sold in bundled plan, total consideration is allocated to performance obligations based on stand-alone selling price for each of product and/or service. The Group estimates the stand-alone selling price using the price enacted if the services are sold on a stand-alone basis. Most bundled plans sold by the Group only include services which are generally satisfied over the same period of time. Therefore the revenue recognition pattern is generally not impacted by the allocation.

The consideration that is received is allocated between the telecommunication services and the points issued, with the consideration allocated to points that are equal to its fair value. The fair value of the points is determined according to historical information relating to the redemption rate of award points. The fair value of the points that are issued is deferred and recognized as revenue when the points are redeemed or have expired.

ii.    Consumer

Revenue from Consumer primarily comprises of revenue from fixed telephone and Indihome services. Revenues from fixed telephone service are derived from customer who subscribes to fixed telephone service only, while revenues from Indihome service are derived from customer who subscribes to internet services or to more than one retail product. Those services are offered on a postpaid basis and billed in the following month. The contracts are offered as month to month contract.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

The Group has a bundled services plan named "Indihome". Under this bundled plan, the customer is allowed to subscribe to a combination of Consumer's service (i.e. telephone, internet and data and paid TV).

All consumer services are recognized using the output method based on the customer's actual usage or time elapsed basis as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.

Customers may be required to pay an upfront fee at the commencement of the contract. The upfront fee is considered to be a material right because the customer is not required to pay an upfront fee when the customer renews the service beyond the original contract period. The Group values the renewal option in the amount of the consideration received from the upfront fee for the installation service. The Group defers the amount of renewal option and recognizes it as revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the customer relationships. The Group estimates the expected customer life based on the historical information and customer trends and updates the evaluation on an annual basis.

iii.   Enterprise

Revenue from Enterprise primarily comprises of revenue from providing telephone service, data and internet service, information technologies service, and other services (e.g. sales of peripherals, manage service, call center service, e-health, e-payment, and others). Some of the contracts with enterprise customers are bespoke in nature.

Revenues from enterprise are recognized overtime using output method based on actual usage or time elapsed if the provision of service does not depend on usage (i.e. minute of voice, kilobyte of data, etc.), except for sales of goods which are recognized at a point in time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. Revenues for performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time is recognized when control of goods is transferred to the customer, typically when the customer has physical possession of the goods.

Some of the arrangements in enterprise are offered as bundled arrangements. For bundled arrangements, the product and/or service in the contract is accounted for as an individual performance obligation when it is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and the customer can benefit from the product/service on its own. The total consideration is allocated to each distinct performance obligation that has been included in the contract, based on its stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price is determined according to the observable prices at which individual product and/or service are sold separately, adjusted for market conditions and normal discounts as appropriate. Alternatively, when the observable prices are not available, the expected cost plus margin approach is used to determine the stand-alone selling prices.

Certain contracts with enterprise customers may give rise to variable consideration as the contract price depends on a future event (e.g. usage based contract or revenue-share based contract). In estimating the variable consideration, the Group is required to use either the expected value method or the most likely amount method based on the method that better predicts the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. The Group determines that the most expected value method is the appropriate method to use in estimating the variable consideration for a single contract with a large number of possible outcomes.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Group considers whether the amount of variable consideration is constrained. The Group determines the variable consideration is not constrained based on its historical experience, business forecast and the current economic conditions and only includes variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

When another party is involved in providing products and/or services to a customer, the Group is the principal if it controls the specified products and/or services before those products and/or services are transferred to the customer. Revenues are recorded on the net amount that has been retained (the amount paid by the customer less the amount paid to the suppliers), when, in substance, the Group has acted as agent and earned commission from the suppliers of the products and/or services sold.

iv.   Wholesale and International Business (“WIB”)

Revenue from WIB is mainly comprised of interconnections service for interconnection of other telecommunications carriers’ subscriber calls to the Group’s subscribers (incoming) and calls between other telecommunications carriers subscribers through the Group’s network (transit) and network service with other telecommunications carriers. All of these services are recognized based on the output method based on the actual recorded traffic for the month.

Incremental cost of obtaining/fulfilling contract with customers

The incremental costs of obtaining/fulfiling contracts with customers, which is principally comprised of sales commissions and contract fulfilment costs, are initially recognized on the statement of financial position. These costs are subsequently amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the period and pattern of transfer to the customer of the related products or services. Costs that do not qualify as costs of obtaining/fulfilling contract with customers are expensed as incurred or in accordance with other relevant standards.  

Revenue from lessor transactions

Revenue from lessor transactions comprise of revenue from telecommunication tower operating leases and other rental. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature.

Expenses

Expenses are recognized as they are incurred.

q.   Employee benefits

i.    Short-term employee benefits

All short-term employee benefits which consist of salaries and related benefits, vacation pay, incentives and other short-term benefits are recognized as expense on undiscounted basis when employees have rendered service to the Group.

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

ii.    Post-employment benefit plans and other long-term employee benefits

Post-employment benefit plans consist of funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plan, other post-employment benefits, post-employment health care benefit plan, defined contribution health care benefit plan and obligations under the Labor Law.

Other long-term employee benefits consist of Long Service Awards (“LSA”), Long Service Leave (“LSL”), and pre-retirement benefits.

The cost of providing benefits under post-employment benefit plans and other long-term employee benefits calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The net obligations in respect of the defined pension benefit plans and post-retirement health care benefit plan are calculated at the present value of estimated future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods less the fair value of plan assets. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of Government bonds that are denominated in the currencies in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement benefit obligation. Government bonds are used as there are no deep markets for high quality corporate bonds.

Plan assets are assets owned by defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement health care benefits plan as well as qualifying insurance policy. The assets are measured at fair value as of reporting dates. The fair value of qualifying insurance policy is deemed to be the present value of the related obligations (subject to any reduction required if the amounts receivable under the insurance policies are not recoverable in full).

Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss on the earlier of:

(a)

the date of plan amendment or curtailment; and

(b)

the date that the Group recognized restructuring-related costs.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liabilities or assets.

Gains or losses on curtailment are recognized when there is a commitment to make a material reduction in the number of employees covered by a plan or when there is an amendment of defined benefit plan terms such as that a material element of future services to be provided by current employees will no longer qualify for benefits, or will qualify only for reduced benefits.

Gains or losses on settlement are recognized when there is a transaction that eliminates all further legal or constructive obligation for part or all of the benefits provided under a defined benefit plan

(other than the payment of benefit in accordance with the program and included in the actuarial assumptions).

For defined contribution plans, the regular contributions constitute net periodic costs for the period in which they are due and, as such, are included in “Personnel Expenses” as they become payable.

iii.   Share-based payments

The Company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan. The fair value of the employees’ services rendered which are compensated with the Company’s shares is recognized as an expense in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and credited to additional paid-in capital at the grant date.

iv.   Early retirement benefits

Early retirement benefits are accrued at the time the Group makes a commitment to provide early retirement benefits as a result of an offer made in order to encourage voluntary redundancy. A commitment to a termination arises when, and only when a detailed formal plan for the early retirement cannot be withdrawn.

r.    Taxes

Income tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized as income or expense and included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except to the extent that the income tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognized directly in equity, in which case, the income tax is recognized directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amounts expected to be recovered or paid by using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at each reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in Annual Tax Returns ("Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan"/ "SPT Tahunan") with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Where appropriate, management establishes provisions based on the amounts expected to be paid to the Tax Authorities.

Tax assessments

Amendment to taxation obligation is recorded when an assessment letter ("Surat Ketetapan Pajak" or "SKP") is received or, if appealed against, when the results of the appeal have been determined. The additional taxes and penalty imposed through SKP are recognized as revenue or expense in the current year profit or loss, unless objection/appeal is taken. The additional taxes and penalty imposed through SKP are deferred as long as they meet the asset recognition criteria.

Deferred tax

The Group recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities at each reporting date. The Group also recognizes deferred tax

assets resulting from the recognition of future tax benefits, such as the benefit of tax losses carried forward to the extent their future realization is probable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and tax laws at each reporting date which are expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced if there is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to compensate part or all of the benefits of deferred tax assets. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are re-assessed at each reporting date and recognized if it is probable that future taxable profits will be available for recovery. Tax deductions arising from the reversal of deferred tax assets are excluded from estimates of future taxable income.

Deferred tax transactions which are recognized outside profit or loss. Therefore, deferred taxes on these transactions are recognized either in other comprehensive income or recognized directly in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset in the consolidated statements of financial position, if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same Tax Authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Value added tax ("VAT")

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognized net of the VAT amount except:

i.

VAT arising from the purchase of assets or services that cannot be credited by the Tax Office, which VAT is recognized as part of the acquisition cost of the asset or as part of the applied expenses; and

ii.

Receivables and payables are presented including the amount of VAT.

Uncertainty over income tax treatments

In accordance with IFRIC 23: Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments which is effective on January 1, 2019, stated that the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities that contain uncertainty over income tax are determined by considering whether to be treated separately or together, the assumptions used in the examination of tax treatments by the Tax Authorities, consideration the probability that the Tax Authorities will accept uncertain tax treatment and re-consideration or estimation if there is a change in facts and circumstances.

If the acceptance of the tax treatment by the Tax Authorities is probable, the measurement is in line with income tax fillings. If the acceptance of the tax treatment by the Tax Authorities is not probable, the Group meaures its tax balances using the method that provides the better predict of resolution (i.e. most likely amount or expected value).

Accordingly, management believes that the interpretation did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Final tax

Indonesian tax regulations impose final tax on several types of transactions based on the gross value of the transaction. Therefore, final tax which is charged based on such transaction remains subject to tax even though the taxpayer incurred a loss on the transaction.

Final tax on construction services and leases are presented as part of “Other Income (Expenses) - net”.

s.    Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial instruments into financial assets and financial liabilities. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i.     Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through OCI (“FVTOCI”), and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or FVTOCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the solely payments of principal and interest test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

(a)

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

The Group measures financial assets at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired. The Group’s financial assets at amortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, contract assets, other current financial assets, and other non-current assets.

(b)

Financial assets at FVTOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

The Group measures debt instruments at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; and
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

For debt instruments at FVTOCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group has no debt instruments classified at FVTOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

(c)

Financial assets designated at FVTOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at FVTOCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment. This category include Group's investment in Bridge Mobile, which is presented as long-term investment in financial instrument in note 11.

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

(d)

Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL, or financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at FVTPL, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at FVTPL on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss. Financial assets that held for trading are disclosed as part of notes current financial asset, while the others are disclosed as part of notes long-term investment in financial instruments.

Expected credit losses (“ECL”)

The Group recognizes an allowance for ECL for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECL are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECL are recognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECL are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECL. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking into account any credit enhancements held by the Group. Trade receivables are written off when there is a low possibility of recovering the contractual cash flow, after all collection efforts have been done and have been fully provided for allowance.

ii.    Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loan and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs

The Group classifies its financial liabilities as: (i)  financial liabilities at FVTPL or (ii)   financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, accrued expenses, interest-bearing loans, other borrowings and other liabilities. Interest-bearing loans consist of short-term bank loans, two-step loans, bonds and notes, long-term bank loans and lease liabilities.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

(a)

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at FVTPL.

(b)

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and other borrowings. For more information, refer to Note 21 Long-Term Loans and Other Borrowings.

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

iii.   Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle them on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The right of offset must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances:

(a)

the normal course of business;

(b)

the event of default; and

(c)

the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group and all of the counterparties.

iv.   Derecognition of financial instruments

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or has expired.

v.    Hedge Accounting

The Group does not apply hedge accounting.

t.    Treasury stock

Reacquired Company shares of stock are accounted for at their reacquisition cost and classified as “Treasury Stock” and presented as a deduction in equity. The cost of treasury stock sold/transferred is accounted for using the weighted average method. The portion of treasury stock transferred for employee stock ownership program is accounted for at its fair value at grant date. The difference between the cost and the proceeds from the sale/transfer of treasury stock is credited to “Additional Paid-in Capital”.

u.   Dividends

Dividend for distribution to the stockholders is recognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the year in which the dividend is approved by the stockholders. The interim dividend is recognized as a liability based on the Board of Directors’ decision supported by the approval from the Board of Commissioners.

v.   Basic and diluted earnings per share and earnings per ADS

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Income per ADS is computed by multiplying the basic earnings per share by 100, the number of shares represented by each ADS.

The Company does not have potentially dilutive financial instruments.

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

w.   Segment information

The Group’s segment information is presented based upon identified operating segments. An operating segment is a component of an entity:

i.

that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity);

ii.

whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") i.e., the Directors, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and

iii.

for which discrete financial information is available.

x.   Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) arising from past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and the amount can be measured reliably.

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognized when the contract becomes onerous for the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfill the contract.

y.   Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the Cash-Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs (“the asset’s CGU”).

The recoverable amount of an asset (either individual asset or CGU) is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (“VIU”). Where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated net future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, the Group uses an appropriate valuation model to determine the fair value of the asset. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognized in profit or loss as part of “Depreciation and Amortization” in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses for an asset, other than goodwill, may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognized impairment loss for an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there has been a change in the

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited such that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceeds the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment been recognized for the asset in prior periods. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined for goodwill by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment loss relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

z.   Current and non-current classifications

The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non- current classification. An asset is presented current when it is:

i.

expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

ii.

held primarily for the purpose of trading;

iii.

expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

iv.

cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Asset which do not meet above criteria, classified as non-current assets.

A liability is current when:

i.     it is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

ii.    it is held primarily in the proposed of trading;

iii.   it is due to be settled within twelve months after reporting period;

iv.   there is no unconditional right after deferred the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The terms of liability that could, at the option of counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Liabilities which do not meet above criteria, classified as long term liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

aa.  Critical accounting considerations, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make decisions, estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities reported, and the accompanying disclosures, and disclosures of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period.

Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates can produce results that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities affected in the coming periods.

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

i.     Consideration

The following considerations were made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies that have the most significant influence on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Income taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.

Judgment is also involved in determining the provision for corporate income tax. There are certain transactions and computation for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business.

The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the year in which such determination is made. Details of the nature and carrying amounts of income tax are disclosed in Note 29.

ii.    Estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumption are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

(a)  Retirement benefits

The present value of the retirement benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate and return on investment (ROI). Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the retirement benefit obligations.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each reporting period. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of Government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement benefit obligations.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

If there is an improvement in the ratings of such Government bonds or a decrease in interest rates as a result of improving economic conditions, there could be a material impact on the discount rate used in determining the post-employment benefit obligations.

Other key assumptions for retirement benefit obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Notes 30 and 31.

(b)  Useful lives of property and equipment

The Group estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment based on expected asset utilization, considering strategic business plans, expected future technological developments, and market behavior. The estimates of useful lives of property and equipment are based on the Group’s collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation, and experience with similar assets.

The Group reviews its estimates of useful lives at least each financial year-end and such estimates are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to changes in expectation of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limitations on the continuing use of the assets. The amounts of recorded expenses for any year will be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A change in the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment is a change in accounting estimates and is applied prospectively in profit or loss in the period of the change and future periods. In 2020, the Group change its estimated useful lives of towers in Indonesia (Note 13).

Details of the nature and carrying amounts of property and equipment are disclosed in Note 13.

(c)  Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options - Group as lessee

The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised.

The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate.

(d)  Credit loss provision for financial assets

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

established a credit provision methodology that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors, and the economic environment.

For term deposits and debt instruments at fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the deposits or debt instrument are considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that evaluation, the Group reassesses the internal credit rating of the instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

The Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that other receivables or other financial assets have been impaired at the end of each reporting period. Provision for impairment of receivables is calculated based on a review of the current status of existing receivables and historical collection experience. Such provisions are adjusted periodically to reflect the actual and anticipated experience. Details of the nature and carrying amounts of provision for impairment of other receivables are disclosed in Note 6.

Following the effect of Covid-19 pandemic, Group has not remodified the definition of its significant increase in credit risk and the definition of its default. Group also closely monitors the changes in shared risk characteristics of certain account receivables by evaluating the customer segmentations portfolios which the respective customers might engage in business industries, or locate in areas, which have become affected, or are more prone to be affected, by the pandemic. Group has reassessed the model used to calculate ECLs based on the latest reasonable and supportable data to better reflect the current change in circumstances. Methods and approaches will continue to be monitored and updated if additional reasonable and supportable data and information are available; including forward looking information and other input in the future.

(e)  Revenue

Critical judgements in determining the performance obligation, timing of revenue recognition and revenue classification

The Group provides information technology services that are bespoke in nature. Bespoke products consist of various goods and/or services bundled together in order to provide integrated solution services to customers. In addition to the bespoke service, Group also provide multiple standard product as bundling product in contract with customer. Significant judgment is required in determining the number and nature of performance obligations promised to customers in those contracts. The number and nature of performance obligations will determine the timing of revenue recognition for such contract.

The Group reviews the determination of  performance obligations on a contract-by-contract basis. When a contract consisting of several goods and/or service is assessed to have one performance obligations, the Group applies a single method of measuring progress for the performance obligation based on the measurement method that best depicts the economics of the contract, which in most cases is over time.

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

The Group also presents the revenue classification using consistent approach. When a contract consisting of several goods and/or service is assessed to have one performance obligations, the Group presents that performance obligations in one financial statement line items which best represent the main service of the Group, which in most cases is the internet, data communication and information technology services.

Critical judgements in determining the stand-alone selling price

The Group provides wide array of products related to telecommunication and technology. To determine the stand-alone selling price for goods and/or services that do not have any readily available observable price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach. The Group determines the appropriate margin based  on historical achievement.

(f)   Test for impairment of non-current assets and goodwill

The application of the acquisition method in a business combination requires the use of accounting estimates in allocating the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets. Certain business acquisitions by the Group resulted goodwill, which is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and every indication of impairment exists.

Although management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant changes to those assumptions can materially affect the evaluation of recoverable amounts and may result in impairment according to IAS 36: Impairment of Assets.

(g)  Acquisition

The Group evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether it will be treated as an asset or business combination. For transactions that are treated as an asset acquisition, the purchase price is allocated to the assets obtained, without the recognition of goodwill. For acquisitions that meet the business combination definition, the Group applies the accounting acquisition method for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, and the results of operations are included with the Group's results from the date of each acquisition.

Any excess from the purchase price paid for the amount recognized for assets acquired and liabilities incurred is recorded as goodwill. The Group continues to evaluate acquisitions that are counted as a business combination for a period not exceeding one year after the applicable acquisition date of each transaction to determine whether additional adjustments are needed to allocate the purchase price paid for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities incurred are usually determined using either an estimated replacement cost or a discounted cash flow valuation method. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Group estimates the cost of replacing assets with new assets by considering factors such as the age, condition, and economic useful lives of the assets. When determining the fair value of the intangible assets obtained, the Group estimates the applicable discount rate and the time and amount of future cash flows, including the rates and terms for the extension and reduction.

The Group has made allowance for expected credit losses based on the collective assessment of its customers’ credit history, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors, and the economic environment. The Group does not apply a distinction between related party and third party receivables in assessing amounts past due. As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the carrying amounts of trade receivables of the Group considered past due but not impaired amounted to Rp3,890 billion and Rp4,217 billion, respectively. Management believes that receivables past due but not impaired, along with trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired, are due from customers with good credit history and are expected to be recoverable.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020, the aggregate amounts of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognized were Rp29,118 billion and Rp32,132 billion, respectively.

Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Group’s capability in generating future profitable operations. Although realization is not assured, the Group believes that it is probable that these deferred tax assets will be realized through reduction of future taxable income when temporary differences reverse. The amount of deferred tax assets is considered realizable; however, it can be reduced if actual future taxable income is lower than estimates.

i.     Administration

From 2008 to 2019, the Company has been consecutively entitled to income tax rate reduction of 5% for meeting the requirements in accordance with the Government Regulation No. 81/2007 as amended by Government Regulation No. 77/2013 and the latest by Government Regulation No. 56/2015 in conjunction with PMK No. 238/PMK.03/2008. Furthermore, the Company is also entitled to an incentive the tax rate reduce by 3% because it meets the requirements in accordance with PP No. 30/2020. On the basis of historical data, for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, the Company calculates the deferred tax using the tax rate of 20% and 19%.

The taxation laws of Indonesia require that the Company and its local subsidiaries submit individual tax returns on the basis of self-assessment. Under prevailing regulations, the DGT may assess or amend

a.    Pension benefit cost

i.    The Company

a.    Funded pension plan

i.     Defined pension benefit obligation

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for employees with permanent status prior to July 1, 2002. The plan is governed by the pension laws in Indonesia and managed by Telkom Pension Fund (“Dana Pensiun Telkom” or “Dapen”). Pension Fund Management in accordance with the Pension Fund and Investment Directives Regulations determined by the Founder is carried out by the Board of Management. The Board of Management is monitored by the Oversight Board consisting of representatives of the Company and participants.

The pension benefits are paid based on the participating employees’ latest basic salary at retirement and the number of years of their service. The participating employees contribute 18% (before March 2003: 8.4%) of their basic salaries to the pension fund. The Company made contributions to the pension fund amounted to Rp233 billion and Rp205 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Risks exposed to defined benefit programs are risks such as asset volatility and changes in bond yields. The project liabilities are calculated using a discount rate that refers to the level of government bond yields, if the return on program assets is lower, it will result in a program deficit. A decrease in the yield of government bonds will increase the program liabilities, although this will be offset in part by an increase in the value of the program bonds held. The Company ensures that the investment position is set within the framework of asset-liability matching ("ALM") that has been formed to achieve long-term results that are in line with the liabilities in the defined benefit pension plan. Within the ALM framework,

the Company's objective is to adjust its pension assets and liabilities by investing in a well diversified portfolio to produce an optimal rate of return, taking into account the level of risk.

Pension plan assets include Series B shares issued by the Company with fair values totalling Rp346 billion and Rp338 billion, representing 1.75% and 1.73% of total plan assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and bonds issued by the Company with fair value totalling Rp341 billion and Rp352 billion, representing 1.73% and 1.80% of total plan assets as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

The expected return is determined based on market expectation for returns over the entire life of the obligation by considering the portfolio mix of the plan assets. The actual return on plan assets was Rp1,858 billion and Rp1,121 billion for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Based on the Company’s policy issued on January 14, 2014 regarding Dapen’s Funding Policy, the Company will not contribute to Dapen when Dapen’s Funding Sufficiency Ratio ("FSR") is above 105%. Based on Dapen’s financial statement as of December 31, 2020, Dapen's FSR is below 105%. Therefore, the Company will contribute to the defined benefit pension plan in 2021.

In 2020, the Company provided employee welfare benefit to pensioners and pension beneficiaries who entered their retirement period before June 30, 2002 amounting to Rp80 billion.

ii.    Additional pension benefit obligation

Based on the Company’s policy issued on June 7, 2017 regarding Pension Regulation by Dapen, the Company established additional benefit fund at maximum 10% of surplus of defined benefit plan, when FSR is above 105% and return on investment is above actuarial discount rate of pension fund.

Program assets for Additional Benefits have been set aside since 2018 according to the Oversight Board’s approval. As of December 31, 2020, the additional benefits liabilities have been fully paid to the pension beneficiaries and no additional obligation was set aside due to the requirement for recognition of the additional benefits as mentioned above have not been met.

b.    Unfunded pension plan

The Company sponsors unfunded defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution pension plan for its employees.

The defined contribution pension plan is provided to employees with permanent status hired on or after July 1, 2002. The plan is managed by Financial Institutions Pension Fund (Dana Pensiun Lembaga Keuangan or “DPLK”). The Company’s contribution to DPLK is determined based on a certain percentage of the participants’ salaries and amounted to Rp55 billion and Rp41 billion for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively.

Since 2007, the Company has provided pension benefit based on uniformization for both participants prior to and from April 20, 1992 effective for employees retiring beginning February 1, 2009. In 2010, the Company replaced the uniformization with Manfaat Pensiun Sekaligus (“MPS”). MPS is given to those employees reaching retirement age, upon death or upon becoming disabled starting from February 1, 2009.

The Company also provides benefits to employees during a pre-retirement period in which they are inactive for 6 months prior to their normal retirement age of 56 years, known as pre-retirement benefits (Masa Persiapan Pensiun or “MPP”). During the pre-retirement period, the employees still receive benefits provided to active employees, which include, but are not limited to, regular salary, health care, annual leave, bonus and other benefits. Since April 1, 2012, the employee is required to file a request for MPP and if the employee does not file the request, such employee is required to work until the retirement date.

ii.    Telkomsel

Telkomsel provides a defined benefit pension plan to its employees. Under this plan, employees are entitled to pension benefits determined based on their latest basic salary or take-home pay (exclusive of functional allowances) and number of service years. The plan is managed by PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (“Jiwasraya”), a state-owned life insurance company, through an annuity insurance contract. Until 2004, employees contributed 5% of their monthly salaries to the plan , while Telkomsel contributed the remaining part required under the plan. Beginning in 2005, Telkomsel has been taking the responsibility for the full amount of the contributions.

In 2020, Jiwasraya's unfavorable financial condition negatively affected its ability to fulfill its obligation to Telkomsel. As a result, Jiwasraya and Telkomsel agreed to restructure Telkomsel's pension plan by terminating the existing plan and establishing a new plan with the amount of insured benefits of Rp799 billion as of December 31, 2020.

As a part of Jiwasraya's restructuring program, Indonesia Financial Group ("IFG") was established by the Government of Indonesia to take over Jiwasraya's plans with its customers. Once IFG is in operation, the new insured benefits mentioned above will be transferred to IFG by Jiwasraya and maintained in the form of a saving plan dedicated to fund Telkomsel's post-employment benefits.

Telkomsel’s contributions to Jiwasraya for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020 were Rp207 billion and Rp53 billion, respectively.

The sensitivity analysis has been determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on DBO as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.

The sensitivity results above determine the individual impact on the Plan’s DBO at the end of the year. In reality, the Plan is subject to multiple external experience items which may move the DBO in similar or opposite directions, and the Plan’s sensitivity to such changes can vary over time.

There are no changes in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from the previous period.

31.        LONG SERVICE AWARDS ("LSA") PROVISIONS

Telkomsel and Telkomsat provide certain cash awards or certain number of days leave benefits to their employees based on the employees’ length of service requirements, including LSA and Long Service Leaves ("LSL"). LSA are either paid at the time the employees reach certain years of employment, or at the time of termination. LSL are either certain number of days leave benefit or cash, subject to approval by management, provided to employees who meet the requisite number of years of service and reach a certain minimum age.

The obligation with respect to these awards which was determined based on an actuarial valuation using the Projected Unit Credit method, amounted to Rp1,066 billion and Rp1,254 billion as of December 31, 2019 and 2020, respectively. The related benefit costs charged to expense amounted to Rp161 billion, Rp290 billion and Rp290 billion for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively (Note 26).

i.    The Government

The Company obtained two-step loans from the Government (Note 21a).

ii.    Indosat

The Company has an agreement with Indosat to provide international telecommunications services to the public.

The Company has also entered into an interconnection agreement between the Company’s fixed line network (Public Switched Telephone Network or “PSTN”) and Indosat’s Global System for Mobile ("GSM”) cellular telecommunications network in connection with the implementation of Indosat Multimedia Mobile services and the settlement of related interconnection rights and obligations.

The Company also has an agreement with Indosat for the interconnection of Indosat’s GSM mobile cellular telecommunications network with the Company’s PSTN, which enable each party’s customers to make domestic calls between Indosat’s GSM mobile network and the Company’s fixed line network, as well as allowing Indosat’s mobile customers to access the Company’s IDD service by dialing “007”.

The Company has been handling customer billings and collections for Indosat. Indosat is gradually taking over the activities and performing its own direct billing and collection. The Company has received compensation from Indosat computed at 1% of the collections made by the Company starting from January 1, 1995, as well as the billing process expenses which are fixed at a certain amount per record. On December 11, 2008, the Company and Indosat agreed to implement IDD service charge tariff which already took into account the compensation for billing and collection. The agreement is valid and effective starting from January to December 2012, and can be applied until a new agreement becomes available.

On December 18, 2017, the Company and Indosat signed amendments to the interconnection agreements for the fixed line networks (local, SLJJ and international) and mobile network for the implementation of the cost-based tariff obligations under the MoCI Regulation No.8/Year 2006. These amendments took effect starting on January 1, 2018.

Telkomsel also entered into an agreement with Indosat for the provision of international telecommunications services to its GSM mobile cellular customers.

The Company provides leased lines to Indosat and its subsidiaries, namely PT Indosat Mega Media and PT Aplikanusa Lintasarta ("Lintasarta"). The leased lines can be used by these companies for telephone, telegraph, data, telex, facsimile or other telecommunication services.

On October 14, 2019, Dayamitra signed a SPA with Indosat related to the purchase of Indosat's towers. In addition, Dayamitra and Indosat also signed MTLA, which stipulated that Indosat agreed to lease back telecommunication towers that were acquired (Note 1e).

(iv) USO

The MoCI issued Regulation No. 17 year 2016 dated September 26, 2016 which replaced Decree No. 45 year 2012 and other previous regulations regarding policies underlying the USO program. The regulation requires telecommunications operators in Indonesia to contribute 1.25% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges and/or the exclusion of certain revenues that are not considered as part of gross revenues as a basis to calculate the USO charged) for USO development.

Subsequently, Decree No. 17 year 2016 dated September 26, 2016 was replaced by Decree No. 19 year 2016 which was effective from November 4, 2016. The latest Decree stipulates, among other things, the USO charged was effective for fiscal year 2016 and thereafter.

Based on MoCI Regulation No. 25 year 2015 dated June 30, 2015, it is stipulated that, among others, in providing telecommunication access and services in rural areas (USO Program), the provider is determined through a selection process by Balai Penyedia dan Pengelola Pembiayaan Telekomunikasi dan Informatika (“BPPPTI”). BPPPTI replaced Balai Telekomunikasi dan Informatika Pedesaan (“BTIP”) based on Decree No. 18/PER/M.KOMINFO/11/2010 dated November 19, 2010 of MoCI. Based on Regulation No. 3 year 2018 of MOCI dated May 23, 2018, BPPPTI has been renamed as Badan Aksesibilitas Telekomunikasi dan Informasi (“BAKTI”). Subsequently, MOCI Regulation No. 25 year 2015 was replaced by MOCI Regulation No. 10 year 2018.

On December 27, 2011, Telkomsel (on behalf of Telkomsel Consortium, a consortium which was established with Dayamitra on December 9, 2011) was selected by BPPPTI as a provider of the USO Program in the border areas for all packages (package 1-13) with a total price of Rp830 billion. On such date, Telkomsel was also selected by BPPPTI as a provider of the USO Program (Upgrading) of “Desa Pinter” or “Desa Punya Internet” for packages 1, 2, and 3 with a total price of Rp261 billion.

In 2015, the Program was ceased. In January 2016, Telkomsel filed an arbitration claim to BANI for the settlement of the outstanding receivables of USO Programs.

iii.   Fair value measurement

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between parties in an arm's length transaction.

The fair values of short-term financial assets and financial liabilities with maturities of one year or less (cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, other current financial assets, trade and other payables, accrued expenses, and short-term bank loans) and other non-current assets are considered to approximate their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.

(a)

Fair value through profit or loss, primarily consist of stocks, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and convertible bonds. Stocks and mutual funds actively traded in an established market are stated at fair value using quoted market price or, if unquoted, determined using a valuation technique.

The fair value of convertible bonds and subsidiaries' investments (non-listed equity investments) are determined using valuation technique. The valuation requires management to use unobservable inputs in the model, of which the significant unobservable inputs are disclosed in the tables above. The Group regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value.

The fair values of the non-listed equity investments have been estimated using backsolve method, market approach and liquidation preference, first chicago method, LTM revenue movement, discount on conversion price model, or discounted cash flow model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including volatility, exit timing, equity value/revenue multiple, discount rate, probability of conversion, probability of qualified financing, WACC, terminal growth rate, revenue achievement, or net working capital to revenue. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these non-listed equity investments.

Corporate and government bonds are stated at fair value by reference to prices of similar securities at the reporting date;

(b)

The fair values of long-term financial liabilities are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of each liability at rates offered to the Group for similar liabilities of comparable maturities by the bankers of the Group, except for bonds which are based on market price.

The fair value estimates are inherently judgmental and involve various limitations, including:

a.   Fair values presented do not take into consideration the effect of future currency fluctuations.

b.   Estimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Group would record upon disposal/termination of the financial assets and liabilities.

b.   Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risks (including foreign exchange risk, market price risk, and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. Overall, the Group’s financial risk management program is intended to minimize losses on the financial assets and financial liabilities arising from fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and the fluctuation of interest rates. Management has a written policy on foreign currency risk management mainly on time deposit

placements and hedging to cover foreign currency risk exposures for periods ranging from 3 up to 12 months.

Financial risk management is carried out by the Corporate Finance unit under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Corporate Finance unit identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks.

i.     Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in foreign currencies. The foreign currency denominated transactions are primarily in U.S. Dollar and Japanese yen. The Group’s exposures to other foreign exchange rates are not material.

Increasing risks of foreign currency exchange rates on the obligations of the Group are expected to be partly offset by the effects of the exchange rates on time deposits and receivables in foreign currencies that are equal to at least 25% of the outstanding current foreign currency liabilities.

The following table present the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities exposure to foreign currency risk:

Sensitivity analysis

A strengthening of the U.S. Dollar and Japanese yen, as indicated below, against the rupiah at December 31, 2020 would have decreased equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

assets measured at FVTPL are recognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The performance of the Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL is monitored periodically, together with a regular assessment of their relevance to the Group’s long-term strategic plans.

As of December 31, 2020, management considered the price risk for the Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL to be immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss and total equity from a reasonably possible change in fair value.

iii.    Interest rate risk

Interest rate fluctuation is monitored to minimize any negative impact to financial performance. Borrowings at variable interest rates expose the Group to interest rate risk (Notes 20 and 21). To measure market risk pertaining to fluctuations in interest rates, the Group primarily uses interest margin and maturity profile of the financial assets and liabilities based on changing schedule of the interest rate.

At reporting date, the interest rate profile of the Group’s interest-bearing borrowings was as follows:

    

2019

    

2020

Fixed rate borrowings

 

(38,133)

 

(26,734)

Variable rate borrowings

 

(28,824)

 

(37,988)

Sensitivity analysis for variable rate borrowings

As of December 31, 2020, a decrease (increase) by 25 basis points in interest rates of variable rate borrowings would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by Rp95 billion, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

iv.    Credit risk

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s Corporate Finance Unit in accordance with the Group’s written policy. The Group placed the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in state-owned banks because they have the most extensive branch networks in Indonesia and are considered to be financially sound banks, as they are owned by the State. Therefore, it is intended to minimize financial loss through banks and financial institutions’ potential failure to make payments.

The customer credit risk is managed by continuous monitoring of outstanding balances and collection. Trade and other receivables do not have any major concentration of risk whereas no customer receivable balance exceeds 10.35% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2020.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure to the customer credit risk given that the Group has recognized sufficient provision for impairment of receivables to cover incurred loss arising from uncollectible receivables based on existing historical data on credit losses.

v.    Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises in situations where the Group has difficulties in fulfilling financial liabilities when they become due.

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash in order to meet the Group’s financial obligations. The Group continuously performs an analysis to monitor financial position ratios, such as liquidity ratios and debt-to-equity ratios, against debt covenant requirements.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for stockholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to minimize the cost of capital.

Periodically, the Group conducts debt valuation to assess possibilities of refinancing existing debts with new ones which have more efficient cost that will lead to more optimized cost-of-debt. In case of idle cash with limited investment opportunities, the Group will consider buying back its shares of stock or paying dividend to its stockholders.

In addition to complying with loan covenants, the Group also maintains its capital structure at the level it believes will not risk its credit rating and which is comparable with its competitors.

Debt-to-equity ratio (comparing net interest-bearing debt to total equity) is a ratio which is monitored by management to evaluate the Group’s capital structure and review the effectiveness of the Group’s debts. The Group monitors its debt levels to ensure the debt-to-equity ratio complies with or is below the ratio set out in its contractual borrowings arrangements and that such ratio is comparable or better than that of regional area entities in the telecommunications industry.
