  Slightly decrease TP by 3% to Rp4,000 - Downgrade to Hold. Our DCF- based TP assume WACC of 10.2% (old: 10.1%; see Fig. 9). We slightly reduced TP by 3% as we revised down 22F-28F EBITDA by 2-4%. We downgrade to Hold and argue share price might be more volatile given: 1) Telkomsel in last earning call said further pricing increase might be limited (depend on competition); 2) Slightly more uncertainty in outer Java’s long-term growth (slightly higher competition risk). Our TP translates to 19F EV/EBITDA of 9.4x, 6% premium to

  Risks (page 5). There might still be downslide risk from concern on Telkomsel’s network gap (leadership strength) in outer Java vs. peers (depends on realization progress of other telcos’ expansion to outer Java). Upside risk: If network roll-out (capex realization) from competitors, incl. Indosat, is significantly lower than its target; no sufficient funding (balance sheet limitation) for competitor(s) to support aggressive capex.

  Limited contribution from fixed broadband. We still view TLKM’s fixed broadband business (Indihome) as positive factor for TLKM, considering its market growth potential, its management and operational readiness to fulfill demand, and gradually increasing margin. However, we see limitation from Indihome’s strong growth impact to TLKM Group in near-term as we estimate Indihome’s revenue

contribution at 9-11% in 18F/19F.

  19F

  Modest EBITDA growth. We forecast moderate YoY growth in TLKM’s revenue and EBITDA growth of +9%YoY and +6%YoY, respectively in 2019F (vs. +4/- 7%YoY in 2018F) due to: 1) Gradual decline in voice and SMS revenue; 2) Margin pressure from growing data business; 3) More limited pricing increase opportunity as more players expand 4G network coverage in outer Java.

  18F 4G coverage in outer Java at 60% vs. 2Q18 27%) and is looking for ways to fund aggressive capex in 19F-21F. Although we expect Tsel would remain as market leader, but its declining competitive advantage in network coverage vs. peers in outer Java (XL already improve its outer Java’s network earlier than Indosat) might affect the effectiveness of Telkomsel’s cluster pricing strategy. Thus, we slightly reduced TLKM’s EBITDA by 2-4% in 22F-28F.

  Recovery mostly priced-in Post-SIM-card-registration recovery mostly priced in. More uncertainty in Telkomsel’s long-term growth in outer Java TLKM group’s EBITDA growth might remain moderate Reduce TP to Rp4,000 (6% premium to +1STD) – Downgrade to Hold We expect Telkomsel’s growth to slow. We believe uncertainty in Telkomsel (Tsel)’s long-term growth outlook in outer Java has increased as Indosat, accelerating forecast its capex spending in 4G network coverage (ISAT’s target

  Source: Company, IndoPremier, Bloomberg Risks Upside risk: Data revenue growth (traffic and pricing); Telkomsel’s Java monetization; Indihome’s productivity and monetization; cost saving; if aggressive (capex realization) network roll-out from competitors, incl. Indosat, is significantly lower than those competitors’ target; no sufficient funding available (balance sheet limitation) for competitor(s) to support aggressive capex.

  Downside risk: Concern on outer Java’s network gap (leadership) vs. peers (depends on realization progress of other telcos’ expanstion to outer Java); Competition; lag until TLKM’s EBITDA YoY growth turned positive; long-term EBITDA margin; one-off expenses; if TLKM’s forex gain (from USD asset) cannot offset impact from Rupiah depreciation; other non-Telkomsel’s business.
