Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Decline: Total revenues decreased by 2.1% to Rp36,639 billion, driven primarily by a decline in Mobile segment revenues (down 6.4% to Rp19,756 billion) and WIB segment revenues (down 2.1%). The Consumer segment saw a slight increase of 3.5%.

- Expense Increases: General and administrative expenses rose 18.8% to Rp1,811 billion, largely due to a higher allowance for expected credit losses (Rp675 billion vs. Rp446 billion in Q1 2024). Interconnection expenses also increased 6.6%.

- Balance Sheet Strength: Total liabilities decreased by 5.8% to Rp129,244 billion, while total equity increased by 4.8% to Rp170,302 billion. The net debt-to-equity ratio improved to 23.46% from 30.24%.
Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Share Buyback: On April 17, 2025, the Company announced a plan to conduct a share buyback program from May 28, 2025, to May 27, 2026, with a maximum budget of Rp3,000 billion.
- Regulatory and Legal Risks: The Group is subject to ongoing investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). These inquiries relate to accounting practices, revenue recognition, internal controls, and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) regarding a project with BAKTI Kominfo. The Group states it cannot currently estimate the potential loss or range of loss.
- Taxation: The Group is subject to the OECD Pillar Two framework (minimum 15% tax rate) effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Management does not currently expect a material impact but is assessing the implications.
- Capital Expenditures: Committed capital expenditures as of March 31, 2025, total approximately Rp11,770 billion plus foreign currency equivalents, reflecting continued investment in network infrastructure.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Ownership Structure Change: In March 2025, the Indonesian Government transferred 52.09% of its Series B shares to PT Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI), an operational holding company, as part of a state-owned enterprise restructuring. The Government remains the ultimate beneficial owner.
- Credit Risk Exposure: The allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables increased significantly to Rp6,273 billion. Investors should verify the quality of receivables, particularly those past due but not impaired (Rp6,643 billion).
- Investment Volatility: A significant portion of the profit variance is driven by the fair value of the investment in GoTo (PT GoTo Gojek Tokopedia Tbk). Investors should monitor the market performance of this holding.
- Debt Covenants: While the Group complied with all covenants as of March 31, 2025, certain subsidiaries (Sigma, GSD, TLT) previously required waivers for non-fulfillment of financial ratios. Verification of ongoing compliance is recommended.
- Foreign Currency Exposure: The Group has a net positive exposure to the U.S. Dollar (approx. Rp14,483 billion equivalent). A strengthening of the USD against the Rupiah would negatively impact equity and profit.
