Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased by 3.0% to Rp73.0 trillion, driven primarily by a decline in the Mobile segment (Cellular data and internet revenue dropped from Rp36.7 trillion to Rp33.3 trillion) and the Enterprise segment.
- Profitability Pressure: Operating profit declined by 8.0% to Rp19.9 trillion. Net profit attributable to the parent company decreased by 6.7% to Rp11.0 trillion.
- Expense Management: Personnel expenses decreased significantly by 14.9% (from Rp9.5 trillion to Rp8.1 trillion), largely due to a reduction in early retirement program costs (from Rp1.2 trillion in 2024 to Rp3 billion in 2025). However, interconnection expenses increased by 18.3%.
- Investment in Startups: The Group recorded an unrealized loss on changes in fair value of investments of Rp276 billion (compared to Rp857 billion in 2024), primarily related to the investment in PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk.
- Dividend Distribution: The Company paid a cash dividend of Rp21.0 trillion in June 2025, approved by the AGM in May 2025.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Regulatory Investigations (Material Contingency): The Group is subject to ongoing investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
- SEC: Investigating accounting and disclosure issues relating to revenue recognition, financial reporting practices, and internal controls, as well as a project with the Indonesian Information and Telecommunication Accessibility Agency (BAKTI Kominfo).
- DOJ: Investigating compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
- Impact: The Group states it is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss due to the early stages of the investigations. Management currently does not believe the investigations will have a material adverse effect on the June 30, 2025 financial statements, but future performance could be materially affected.
- Tax Uncertainty: The Group has recorded a provision of Rp217 billion for tax uncertainty related to open fiscal years (2020-2023) for Telkomsel.
- Capital Structure: The net debt-to-equity ratio increased to 51.86% from 30.24% in the prior year, reflecting higher debt levels and dividend payments. The Group remains compliant with all loan covenants.
- Share Buyback: The AGM approved a share buyback program with a maximum amount of Rp3.0 trillion. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had conducted buybacks amounting to Rp5 billion.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Investigation Status: Verify the progress and potential financial impact of the ongoing SEC and DOJ investigations regarding revenue recognition and FCPA compliance.
- Mobile Segment Performance: Analyze the drivers behind the significant decline in cellular data and internet revenue (down ~9% YoY) and its impact on future growth.
- Debt Maturity Profile: Review the maturity schedule of the increased debt load (Total interest-bearing debt up ~10% YoY) to assess refinancing risks.
- Investment Valuation: Monitor the fair value of long-term investments in financial instruments (notably GOTO), which remain subject to market volatility.
- Dividend Sustainability: Assess the sustainability of the high dividend payout (Rp21.0 trillion) given the decline in net profit and increase in net debt.
