PT Telkom Indonesia, Tbk. 2011 Annual Report Moving Forward Beyond Telecommunications
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 included elsewhere in this Annual
Report. These Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with IFAS, which differs
in certain significant respects from IFRS. See Notes 48 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for our
reconciliation to IFRS.
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 a leading TIME player in the region through the
provision of a wide range of communication services. As of december 31, 2011, we had approximately
129.8 million subscribers in service, comprising 8.6 million subscribers on our fixed wireline network,14.2
million subscribers on our fixed wireless network and through Telkomsel, approximately 107.0 million cellular
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.
Our operating results for the two-year period from 2010 through 2011 relected growth in revenues. This growth
was driven by data, internet and information technology services revenues. In addition, Telkomsel’s cellular
subscriber base grew 13.8 in 2011. Our operating results from 2010 to 2011 also reflected
an increase in expenses. This increase was mainly driven by personnel and marketing expenses. Personnel
expenses increased primarily as a result of our Early Retirement Program, while marketing expenses grew
larger primarily as a result of increase in marketing fees and advertising expenses.
Increase in data, Internet and Information technology services
revenues
data, internet and information technology services revenues accounted for 33.6 of our consolidated revenues for the
year ended december 31, 2011, compared to 28.9 for the year ended december 31, 2010. Revenues from our data,
internet and information technology services increased by 20.8 from 2010 to 2011. The increase in data, internet
and information technology services revenues in 2011 was primarily due to a 16.0 increase in revenues generated
from SMS services and a 27.1 increase in revenues from internet, data communication and information technology
services. As part of our transformation into a TIME provider, and our corporate objective of growing our new wave
businesses, we seek to continue to increase such revenues.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis
of the Company’s Performance
PT Telkom Indonesia, Tbk. 2011 Annual Report Moving Forward Beyond Telecommunications
stable cellular telephone revenues with Increase in subscribers and
declining arpu
Our cellular telephone revenues slightly decreased by 1.8 from 2010 to 2011. Our cellular subscribers increased by
13.8 from 2010 to 2011. Telkomsel’s revenues from cellular phone services usage charges, monthly subscription
charges, connection fee charges and features accounted for 40.1 of our consolidated revenues for the year ended
december 31, 2011, compared to 42.5 for the year ended december 31, 2010.
This subscriber growth has been driven by continued growth in demand for mobile cellular services in Indonesia,
coupled with our eforts to attract new subscribers and the expansion of our cellular network and capacity. The usage
behavior of new cellular subscribers may vary depending in part on the pricing packages we ofer during a particular
period and those ofered by our competitors. This makes operators compete with each other to provide the lowest
price, as a result, growth in revenue from cellular services was not in line with the growth in cellular subscribers.
These factors have contributed to declining ARPU, with blended monthly ARPU decreasing from approximately
Rp42,000 in 2010 to approximately Rp39,000 in 2011. due to the growth in the cellular market, competition
remained intense among cellular operators, particularly in the prepaid market. These cellular operators also compete
to a lesser extent with ixed wireless operators, with a growing number of ixed wireless lines in service. See “Risk
Factors — Risks Related to Our Business — Competition Risks Related to Our Cellular Business Telkomsel”.
decrease in fixed Wireline telephone revenues
Our ixed wireline telephone revenues decreased by 6.5 from Rp.10,990 billion in 2010 to Rp10,277 billion in 2011.
We believe that ixed wireline telephone revenues have been declining due to the increased usage and declining tarifs
of mobile cellular services and ixed wireless services and increased penetration of cellular subscribers in Indonesia.
Cellular and ixed wireless services provide increased convenience, and in certain cases where subscribers call
other subscribers using the same provider’s network, tarifs can be lower than ixed wireline calls that are made
to subscribers of another provider. Although we expect that our ixed line, including ixed wireline services will
continue to contribute signiicantly to our revenues in the upcoming term, we also aware that the trend of declining
ixed wireline telephone revenues will continue. As part of our corporate strategy, we are seeking to
optimize our ixed wireline business through various means, including increasing cost competitiveness,
developing Idd ixed wireline business and increasing value added services for ixed wireline services. We also seek to
increase our ixed wireline penetration rate more quickly by reducing our capital expenditure per line through the
use of ixed wireless technology and by upgrading our ixed wireline access network and legacy infrastructure to
NGN infrastructure with broadband capability.
decrease in fixed Wireless telephone revenues
Our ixed wireless revenues decreased by 31.2 from Rp1,950 billion in 2010 to Rp1,342 billion in 2011. This decline
occurred despite a signiicant increase in subscribers during the period, primarily due to lower average tarifs
as a result of intense competition and a decline in ixed wireless voice revenues.
Our ixed wireless telephone business is facing competition from an increasing number of operators,
including PT Indosat and PT Bakrie Telecom, as well as mobile cellular services, SMS, VoIP services and e-mail.
Competition in the ixed wireless market has remained intense, with each operator launching increasingly attractive
and creative marketing programs. In addition, our ixed wireless operations face frequency bandwidth constraints
as there is currently no new frequency available from the government for expansion, and in densely populated areas,
our current ixed wireless operations use substantially all of the available bandwidth that we have been allocated.
As a result, we face capacity issues for ixed wireless voice and data and internet services in densely populated areas,
which restricts our ability to compete in such areas. However, we believe there are still opportunities in the
market and, in particular, we seek to grow our ixed wireless data and internet revenues further and extend our network
to cover new areas. We plan to continue expanding, though selectively, our CdMA-based ixed wireless networks.
Compared to ixed wireline networks, CdMA-based networks are generally faster and easier to construct and
provide customers with greater lexibility and mobility.
PT Telkom Indonesia, Tbk. 2011 Annual Report Moving Forward Beyond Telecommunications
Our ixed wireless service decreased from 18.2 million subscribers in service as of december 31, 2010 to 14.2
million subscribers in service as of december 31, 2011. This reduction was due to the termination by Telkom of
selected accounts to improve the credit quality of its subscriber base.
decrease in Interconnection revenues
Our interconnection revenues accounted for approximately 4.9 of our consolidated revenues for the year ended
december 31, 2011, compared to 5.4 for the year ended december 31, 2010. Revenues from interconnection
services decreased by 6.1 from Rp3,735 billion in 2010 to Rp3,509 billion in 2011.
This declining trend in interconnection revenues is primarily due to the implementation of a new interconnection
regime. The Government determines interconnection rates that are applicable for all telecommunications network
operators in Indonesia. Starting on April 11, 2008, the Government for the irst time set interconnection rates
based on a new cost-based interconnection regime for all telecommunications network operators. The Government
amended interconnection rates under this regime with efect from January 1, 2011 or July 1, 2011 in the case of
ixed local wireless. Under the new interconnection regime, the interconnection
rates that are payable to network operators receiving a call in Indonesia are set by the Government every one to two
years based on Reference Interconnection Ofers submitted by operators. The Reference Interconnection Ofers are
based on data relecting operator costs. As a result of the new cost-based regime, we believe that interconnection
rates to which we, including Telkomsel, are entitled have shifted downward. We expect that interconnection rates
which the Government sets in the future will continue to trend downward.
The cost-based interconnection regime also provides transparency in interconnection charges, which allows
operators to route calls through the most cost-eicient route through software, thereby reducing interconnection fees. In
addition, many mobile cellular operators have in recent years ofered aggressive promotions with very low tarifs for calls
made to other subscribers of the same operator. As these calls do not transit through our network, we do not receive
interconnection revenues for such calls. Such factors have resulted in a decline of interconnection revenues generally
for the telecommunications industry in Indonesia.
