Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk (TELKOM) covers the month of January 2004. The report details a strategic operational shift in Regional Division IV (Central Java and Yogyakarta) following an agreement with PT Mitra Global Telekomunikasi Indonesia (MGTI).
Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide consolidated revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity figures for the reporting period. The only specific financial data disclosed relates to the amended KSO (Joint Operation) agreement:
- Fixed Monthly Payment to MGTI: US$5.4 million per month in 2004, increasing to US$6.8 million per month by 2010.
- Revenue Retention: TELKOM is entitled to the balance of KSO revenues in DIVRE IV after paying the fixed monthly amount and operating expenses.
- Capital Expenditure: TELKOM assumes responsibility for new construction at its sole expense but requires no initial capital outlay for the transition.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the amendment of the 1995 KSO Agreement. Previously, MGTI was responsible for new construction, financing, and operations in DIVRE IV. Under the new terms effective immediately:
- TELKOM assumes full management, supervision, control, and responsibility for DIVRE IV operations until December 31, 2010.
- TELKOM gains the right to construct new telecommunication facilities in the region at its discretion.
- The arrangement resolves past disagreements between TELKOM and MGTI.
Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
President Director Kristiono stated that the transaction allows TELKOM to immediately begin an expansion program and improve service levels in Central Java without tying up funds in initial capital outlays. The company expects to demonstrate benefits of re-focused operations to customers in DIVRE IV. The agreement follows the acquisition of MGTI shares by Alberta Telecommunications (99.99%) and Alberta Capital Partners Ltd. (0.01%), replacing previous shareholders including Indosat, Telstra Global, and NTT Finance.
