Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ) announced its results this week, which on the face of it do not look exciting, with revenues declining -0.7% YoY, EBITDA up by +0.5%, and net income up by +2.6%.
Beneath these headline numbers, there is a more compelling story, with Indihome seeing +25% YoY revenue growth driven by increasing subscribers and higher ARPU. Data traffic seeing +59.7% YoY growth 1Q2021, with the digital business now accounting for 76.9% of revenues in 1Q2021. 

The legacy SMS, fixed, and cellular voice declined by -25.4% to IDR5.3tn due to the cannibalisation from OTT applications such as Whatsapp. 
The mobile segment in Indonesia remains competitive with the major players continuing to offer unlimited plans and other promotional plans but Telkom still realised data revenue growth of +0.4% YoY whilst digital services grew by +22.6% YoY, as the company added new services.


After Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ)'s investment in Gojek, the two companies have been integrating various aspects of their services to provide users with new benefits, as well as helping MSMEs to digitalise their businesses.




Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ) continues to augment the network reach and quality by increasing the number of BTS towers.




 The wholesale and international business is supported by the tower and data centre business, with the potential for further growth from the rollout of 5G technology.





Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM IJ) remains a core proxy to Indonesia's digital economy and its growing appetite for data and broadband services.

<p>The company's broadband service Indihome also continues to show strong performance, with revenue up by +21.2% driven by strong growth in subscribers and improving ARPU.</p>
<p>The enterprise segment also showed surprisingly strong growth during the year but especially in 4Q2020, where it saw revenue growth of +67.9% YoY driven by data centres.</p>
<p>Telkomsel deployed a further 27,700 new towers in FY2020, bringing the total to 231,200 BTS towers and it continues to transfer towers to Mitratel.</p>
