Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenue decreased by 2.3% to Rp109.6 trillion, driven primarily by a decline in the Mobile segment (Cellular data and internet revenue dropped from Rp54.5T to Rp51.2T) and Enterprise segment.
- Profitability Pressure: Operating profit declined by 10.1% to Rp29.2 trillion. Net profit attributable to the parent company fell by 10.7% to Rp15.8 trillion.
- Expense Increases: Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 3.4% to Rp25.1 trillion. Personnel expenses decreased by 9.5% to Rp11.9 trillion, largely due to the absence of early retirement program costs recorded in the prior year (Rp1.18T in 2024).
- Investment Losses: Unrealized losses on changes in fair value of investments decreased to Rp360 billion (from Rp476 billion in 2024), primarily related to Telkomsel's investment in PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk.
- Cash Flow Improvement: Net cash provided by operating activities increased by 8.0% to Rp49.6 trillion, despite lower net income, indicating improved working capital management.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Regulatory and Legal Investigations: The Group is under ongoing investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The SEC investigation concerns revenue recognition, financial reporting practices, and internal controls, as well as a project with BAKTI Kominfo. The DOJ investigation focuses on compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The Group states it is unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss at this time.
- Tax Contingencies: Significant tax assessments were received in October 2025 (subsequent to the reporting period). Telkomsel received a Tax Underpayment Assessment Letter for the 2023 fiscal year totaling Rp14.6 trillion (including penalties). The Group maintains a strong technical position regarding the transfer of the IndiHome business and believes no provision is required for the majority of this amount, though it has recorded provisions for penalties.
- Corporate Restructuring: On October 20, 2025, the Company signed a Conditional Spin-Off Agreement to spin off its Wholesale Fiber Connectivity business and assets (valued at Rp35.8 trillion) to PT Telkom Infrastruktur Indonesia (TIF) to optimize asset utilization and focus on business development.
- Dividends: The Company paid a cash dividend of Rp21.0 trillion for the 2024 fiscal year in June 2025.
- Share Buyback: The Company conducted a share buyback of 1.75 million shares (Rp5 billion) in September 2025 under an approved program with a maximum limit of Rp3.0 trillion.

- Mobile Segment Performance: Analyze the drivers behind the decline in cellular data and internet revenue, which constitutes the largest portion of the Group's revenue.
