Foreign Exchange Controls

Currently, Indonesia has limited foreign exchange controls. The Indonesian Rupiah has been, and in general is, freely convertible. A number of regulations, however, have an impact on the exchange system. For example, only banks are authorized to deal in foreign exchange and execute exchange transactions related to the import and export of goods. In addition, Indonesian banks (including branches of foreign banks in Indonesia) are required to report to Bank Indonesia any fund transfers exceeding US$10,000. Based on

Following the decree of the Headdisbanding of the PKLN Team in accordance with Presidential Regulation No.82 of 2020, we are no longer required to obtain the PKLN Team's approval to enter foreign commercial loans. Based on Presidential Regulation No.59 of 1972, however, we are still required to obtain an approval from the PKLNMOF prior to acquiringentering foreign commercial loans. We are also required to submit periodicalperiodic reports to PKLNMOF during the term of such foreign commercial loans. Following the loans.disbanding of the PKLN Team and pending the issuance of the relevant implementing regulations, there is uncertainty as to the MOF's approval process and how periodic reports on foreign commercial loans will be handled.

Risks Related to Our Business

Operational Risks

A material failure in the continuing operations of our network, certain key systems, gateways to our network or the networks of other network operators could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We depend to a significant degree on the uninterrupted operation of our network to provide our services. For example, we depend on access to our fixed wireline network for the operation of our fixed line network and the termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed line telephones, and a significant portion of our cellular and international long distance call traffic is routed through the PSTN. We also depend on access to an internet and broadband network and a cellular network. Our integrated network includes a copper access network, fiber optic access network, BTSs, switching equipment, optical and radio transmission equipment, an IP Core network, satellites and application servers.

In addition, we also rely on interconnection to the networks of other telecommunications operators to carry calls and data from our subscribers to the subscribers of operators both within Indonesia and overseas. We also depend on certain technologically sophisticated management information systems and other systems, such as our customer billing system, to enable us to conduct our operations. Our network, including our information systems, IT and infrastructure and the networks of other operators with whom our subscribers are interconnected, are vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operation from a variety of sources including earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, equipment failure, network software flaws, transmission cable disruption or similar events. For example, duringin 2018 and 2019, a number of submarine cables whichthat we rely on to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago were damaged.damaged mostly as a result of earthquakes. In 2020, a few submarine cables were damaged due to shunt faults (i.e., existence of a current leakage path between the power conductor and seawater without a break in the power conductor) and cuts. As a result, services in east Indonesia faced slowdowns and disruptions as we had to redirect affected traffic through satellites until the submarine cables could be restored. One of our building in Pekanbaru suffered fire damage in August 2020 and certain of our infrastructures and equipment were damaged by flood in Jakarta, Sulawesi and Kalimantan in 2020, without any such damages causing material interruption to our operations.

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, we cannot guarantee that the implementation of such plans will be completely or partially successful should any portion of our network be severely damaged or interrupted. Any failure that results in an interruption of our operations or of the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

14

We may in the future, be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors

In November 2016,Under the Government announced its intention to amend certain regulations, as a result of which we may, in the future, be required to share our network infrastructureJob Creation Law and capacity with our competitors. In particular, the draft revision to Government Regulation No.52/2000No. 46 of 2021 on TelecommunicationsPost, Telecommunication and Broadcasting ("Draft RevisionGR No.46/2021"), telecommunication service providers with passive telecommunication infrastructure (e.g., ducts, towers, poles, or communication manholes, among others) has to give access to its passive telecommunication infrastructure to other telecommunication providers. GR No.52/2000") contemplates providingNo.46/2021 states that such use of passive telecommunication infrastructure must be based on cooperation and mutual agreement between the Governmentparties involved in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminative manner.

Further, a telecommunication service provider with the authorityactive telecommunication and/or broadcasting infrastructure may give access to requiresuch active infrastructure to other telecommunication operators suchprovider as our Company to shareagreed mutually and in furtherance of fair business competition. This may be achieved by leasing of network capacity to other telecommunication providers.

22


Table of Contents

It remains to be seen how these new provisions will affect our business and our relations with other telecommunication operatorsplayers in Indonesia. Draft Revision to GR No.52/2000 may also require telecommunication operators such as our Company to share proprietary network transmission equipment when the Government deems this to be necessary in order to maintain market competition and network efficiency and sustainability.

In addition, the Government also announced its intention to amend Government Regulation No.53/2000 on the Utilization of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit ("Draft Revision to GR No.53/2000"). Draft Revision to GR No.53/2000 may require telecommunication operators such as our Company to share network with other telecommunication operators and service providers.

If these draft regulations are enacted by the Government in their current form, we would be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors. This may allow our competitors to expand without significant capital expenditure outlay in areas where we currently operate. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient network capacity to maintain our current business, product offerings and quality of service due to the additional traffic that we would need to service as a result of our competitors' access to our network. Our ability to service any increase in traffic within our network may consequently be limited, which may adversely affect our ability to increase our revenues through the expansion of our services.

Neither the Draft Revision to GR No.52/2000 nor the Draft Revision to GR No.53/2000 provide the details of the terms under which we may be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors. We cannot assure you that the Government will adopt final terms which we will consider to be commercially reasonable. For example, we cannot assure you that any subsequent or implementing regulations will allow us to charge competitors who lease our network capacity with fees at rates which we will consider to be commercially acceptable.

If the Draft Revisionsuch regulations were to GR No.52/2000 and the Draft Revision to GR No.53/2000 are adopted, and the terms under which such proposed regulations arebe implemented, are not commercially reasonable, it could have a material adverse effect on our business,revenue, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) or other epidemics

An outbreak, or the fear of an outbreak of any severe infectious disease such as diseases caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the H5N1 avian flu or the human swine flu (H1N1) or a similar communicable diseases, if uncontrolled, or restrictions or containment measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, could have a material adverse effect on the overall business sentiment in Indonesia and in economies where we carry out our business, on Indonesian and international consumers' confidence and purchasing behavior, and in turn, on demand for our products and services. Most recently, in January 2020, an outbreak of COVID-19 believed to have started in Wuhan, Hubei, China, spread aggressively in multiple countries, including Indonesia, other countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. The World Health Organization (the "WHO") declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a "pandemic" on March 11, 2020. On April 13, 2020, the President of Indonesia issued Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020 declaring the current COVID-19 pandemic a national disaster. Various measures have been implemented to contain the outbreak in certain regions and countries, resulting in extensive government-imposed restrictions and containment measures, including restrictions on domestic and international travel, restrictions on public gatherings, social distancing, office and school closures, and local or general "stay at home" or quarantine orders. Such measures have resulted in a period of business disruptions, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the world’s population, and a decrease in economic activities in several countries, including Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreak of infectious diseases, similar or more stringent measures could be taken that may further worsen the Indonesian economy and the global economy.

If the current COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases were to develop and persist, customers may delay, suspend or decrease orders for our products and services, and demand for certain of our products and services may decrease. Our distribution network and retail outlets may also experience significant disruption due to physical distancing measures and other containment measures. Our ability to provide services to our clients that require our teams to access their homes or offices may also be negatively impacted. Such disruptions did occur in the year ended December 31, 2020 but did not significantly affect our operations, business and results of operations. Regardless of enhanced hygiene and precautionary measures to safeguard the safety and health of our employees and customers, we could be subject to labor shortages or suspension of work if certain of our personnel, in Indonesia or elsewhere, were to become infected with the disease or restrictions and containment measures described above were to affect their ability to reach our offices and outlets. Our operations may also be significantly and adversely affected if government-imposed restrictions or other containment measures require us to suspend our operations, partially or entirely. Finally, the negative impact of the outbreak on the global economy may increase counterparty risks or increase difficulties in collecting fees, which may negatively impact our cashflows, delay certain of our projects, and reduce our ability to access capital or increase financing costs.

23


Table of Contents

As at the date hereof, the potential economic impact on Indonesia and the global economy brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, subject to change and difficult to estimate or predict. There is no assurance that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia or elsewhere can be effectively controlled, or that another disease outbreak will not happen in the future. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to the full extent of the above-described potential delays and disruptions on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Our networks face both potential physical and cyber security threats, such as theft, vandalism and acts intended to disrupt our operations, which could adversely affect our operating results

Our networks and equipment, particularly our wireline access network, face both potential physical and cyber security threats. Physical threats include theft and vandalism of our equipment and organized attacks against key infrastructure intended to disrupt operations. In addition, telecommunications companies worldwide face increasing cyber security threats as businesses become increasingly dependent on telecommunications and computer networks, and adopt cloud technologies. Cyber security threats include gaining unauthorized access to our systems or inserting computer viruses or malicious software in our systems to misappropriate consumer data and other sensitive information, corrupt our data or disrupt our operations. Unauthorized access may also be gained through traditional means such as the theft of computers, portable data devices or mobile phones and intelligence gathering on employees with access to our systems.

15

Although we have not experienced any material successful cyber attackscyberattacks to date that have affected our operations, our network and website are frequently targeted by cyber attacks.cyberattacks. For example, in April 2017 Telkomsel'sOctober 2018, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia's ("Telkomsat") corporate website was hacked and in October 2018 Telkomsat’s website was also hacked. In both cases, customers were unable to access the site anddefaced. The content on the homepage was altered, which left customers unable to access the site for a portionpart of one day. A fewday, before the site was restored. In 2020, we detected 49.44 million cyber threats to our servers. Almost all of those threats were non-disruptive and only 78 of them raised to the level of issues we needed to specifically address, which we did successfully and promptly. In addition, we cannot guarantee that safety procedures we have in place and our intrusion detection systems may always prove efficient against illegal access to our internal data and databases, customers', suppliers and other Telkom websites have also been subjectparties' data hosted on our systems. If we are unable to attack, rendering them unusable forprevent such attacks or successfully detect such intrusions in a number of days until the incident was remedied.timely manner or at all, such data could be misappropriated and illegally used or disseminated. While none of these cyber attackscyberattacks have caused significant losses to date, a successful cyber attackcyberattack may lead us to incur substantial costs to repair damage or restore data, implement substantial organizational changes and training to prevent future similar attacks and lost revenues and litigation costs due to misused sensitive information, liabilities for information loss, breach of confidentiality of private information, and cause substantial reputational damage. Cyberattacks may also cause equipment failures, loss of information, including sensitive information or information stored in our customers' computer systems and mobile phone systems, failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security or data protection laws, as well as disruption to our operations or our customers' operations. Furthermore, it might be difficult to calculate the economic costs caused by potential cyber security incidents and maintain sufficient insurance coverage relating to them at commercially reasonable rates and terms. Eliminating computer viruses and other security problems may also require interruptions, delays or suspension of our services, reduce our customer satisfaction and cause us to incur additional costs. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be precisely predicted. We take preventive and remedial measures with respect to our systems, including enhanced cooperation with the police, particularly in areas prone to criminal activity and regular updates of our information system security measures. While we believe that we have taken appropriate measures to protect our network, there is no assurance that these physical and cyber security measures will be successful. Damage to our network, equipment or data and the need to repair such damage resulting from a physical or cyber attackcyberattack may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face a number of risks relating to our internet-related services

In addition to cyber security threats, since we provide connections to the internet and host websites for customers and develop internet content and applications, we may be perceived as being associated with the content carried over our network or displayed on websites that we host. For example, in the past, due to an escalation in spam messages generated from email addresses on the Telkom network, Telkom was placed on certain DNS blacklists which blocked all email generated from Telkom addresses for almost a week until remedial measures could be put into place. This did not occur in 2020 as anti-spam tools already deployed into our systems significantly mitigated the effect of cyberattacks on our systems.

24


Table of Contents

While we have made certain administrative and technical adjustments to identify and combat spam, we cannot assure you that such measures will always be effective and that we would not be placed on certain DNS blacklists again in the future. In addition, the content carried over our network or the websites that we host may contain materials or information which may be illegal, defamatory, impermissible or infringe on third party copyrights. We cannot and do not screen all of this content and may face litigation claims due to a perceived association with such content. These types of claims can be costly to defend, divert management resources and attention, and may damage our reputation.

A revenue leakage might occur due to internal weaknesses or external factors and if this risk were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results

We may face revenue leakage or problems with collecting all the revenues to which we may be entitled, due to the possibility of inaccurate billing, delays in transaction processing, dishonest customers or other factors. Further, our services might be susceptible to piracy and unauthorized usage. Such piracy and unauthorized usage may lead to a loss of revenue for our Group which may affect our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, in recent years the use of simboxes, which are electronic boxes that use cell phone antennae or a BTS on which local operator SIM cards are installed so that international calls can be fraudulently terminated through local numbers so that the fraudster can bypass interconnection rates in the destination country, have led to a loss of revenue for our Group.

We have taken certain preventive measures to mitigate the possibility of revenue leakage by increasing control functions in all of our existing business processes, increasing cooperation and information sharing between operational units to detect potential fraud, implementing revenue assurance methods, employing adequate policies and procedures as well as implementing information systems applications to minimize revenue leakages. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that in the future there will be no significant revenue leakages or that any such leakages will not have a material adverse affecteffect on our operating results.

16

New technologies may adversely affect our ability to remain competitive

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. We may face increasing competition due to technologies currently under development or which may be developed in the future. Future development or application of new or alternative technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to our business model, the development of new products, the provision of additional services and substantial new investments by us. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. We cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect our operations or the competitiveness of our services. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively integrate new technologies into our existing business model.

One of the main challenges faced by the telecommunications industry in Indonesia is the increasing use of Over The Top services that has become a substitute for voice and SMS services, in line with the growing number of smartphone users. In particular, the percentage contribution from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenuerevenues has declined from 33.1% for 2016 to 26.3% for 2018.2018 to 14.2% for 2020. This has happened not only in Indonesia, but also in developed countries where smartphone penetration is high. In addition, we face a continuing risk of market entry by new operators and service providers (including non-telecommunicationnon-telecommunications players and Over The Top players) who, by using newer or lower cost technologies, may succeed in rapidly attracting customers away from established market participants such as ourselves. This may result in a loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services entry barriers being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. For example, the increased availability of high-throughput satellite capacity in Indonesia has had increased competition, and adversely affected pricing, for our satellite business.

We cannot assure you that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will be able to acquire new technologies necessary to compete in changed circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Table of Contents

Expected benefits from investment in new networks and technologies may not be realized

We may pursue new growth opportunities in the communications industry in the future, including introducing services and products employing new technologies, such as next generation mobile technologies, 5G, virtualization, software-defined networking, cloud based technologies, new video and content delivery platforms and digital marketing. The implementation of these new technologies depends on a number of factors, including developing our network and the launch of new and commercially viable products and services involving these technologies. We may have to incur substantial expenditure to develop our network, services and products and to gain access to related or enabling technologies in order to successfully implement these new technologies. We may not be successful in modifying our network infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner to facilitate such implementation, which could adversely affect our quality of service, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we may face the risk of unforeseen complications in the deployment of new technologies. Any newly adopted technology may not perform as expected, and we may not be able to successfully or on a timely basis to develop the new technology to effectively and economically deliver services based on such technology.

17

Our satellites have limited operational life and they may be damaged or destroyed during in-orbit operation or suffer launch delays or failures. The loss or reduced performance of a satellite, whether caused by equipment failure or its license being revoked, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services

We operate three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and the Merah Putih Satellite. These satellites have limited operational lives, withand their estimated operationaldesign lives endingended or will end approximately in 2020, 2032 and 2033, respectively. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life can be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their systems, subsystemssub-systems and component parts, on-board fuel reserves, accuracy of their launch into orbit, exposure to micrometeorite storms, or other natural events in space, collision with orbital debris, or the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. We currently use satellite transponder capacity on our satellites in connection with many aspects of our business, including direct leasing of such capacity and routing for our international long distance and cellular services.

International Telecommunication Union regulations specify that a designated satellite orbital slot has been allocated for Indonesia and the Government has the right to determine which party is licensed to use such slot. While we currently hold a license to use the designated satellite orbital slot, in the event any of our satellites experience technical problems or failure, the Government may determine that we have failed to optimize the existing slot under our license, which may result in the Government withdrawing our license. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain use of the designated satellite orbital slot in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Government.

Our acquisition activities expose us to various risks

We have in the past pursued, and may continue to pursue, acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses.  The success of these acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired businesses with our existing businesses. Based on the size and complexity of certain businesses, integrating them into our existing business could require substantial time, expense and effort from our management. The process of integrating an acquired business may also involve unforeseen costs and delays or other operational, technical and financial difficulties that may require a disproportionate amount of management attention as well as financial and other resources. If our management’s attention is diverted or there are any difficulties associated with integrating these businesses, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Even if we are able to successfully integrate these businesses, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits of the integration opportunities that we currently expect to result from such acquisition and strategic transactions, or realize these benefits within the time frame that we currently expect, and the businesses generally remain subject to unforeseeable factors outside of our control. Our acquisitions and strategic transactions, including those entered into in recent periods, may turn out to be unprofitable. Any failure to successfully incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations, to enhance operating efficiencies from consolidation savings, minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties and realize the anticipated benefits on time, or at all, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and cash flows.

Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular TelecommunicationTelecommunications Business

Competition from existing cellular service providers may adversely affect our cellular services business

The Indonesian cellular servicesservice business is highly competitive. Competition among cellular servicesservice providers in Indonesia is based on various factors, including pricing, network quality and coverage, the range of services, features offered and customer service. With the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, we believe that data network quality and coverage, including 4G/LTE coverage, will increasingly become an intense area of competition. In recent years, competitors have offered promotions such as bonus data packages in order to attract customers, which has generally made the pricing environment in Indonesia less profitable. In 2019, the intensity of downward pressure on selling prices decreased but this trend reversed in 2020. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak created uncertainty and a general economic slowdown in Indonesia that impacted consumers' purchasing power and, as a result, translated into lower consumer spending. This accelerated a shift from Telkomsel's legacy business to its data services and generally exacerbated competition among operators, which translated into increased downward pressure on selling prices. This competition is likely to continue, particularly as telecommuniocationstelecommunications companies are affected by increased competition from Over The Top providers.

In 2020, a number of our competitors continued to increase their coverage by expanding outside Java.

1826


For tariffs which are within the scope of the Job Creation Law, variations in selling prices may be limited because the Government may determine upper and lower limits based on public interest and fair business competition principles. Upper limits may be determined in areas where only one telecommunications operator operates. Lower limits may be determined based on the Government's assessment of prevailing market conditions (for instance to prevent unfair business competition). The implementing regulations of such law, however, have yet to be passed.

Our cellular services business, operated through our majority-owned subsidiary Telkomsel, competes primarily with Indosat and XL Axiata. However, we are also facing increased competition from smaller operators that provide cellular services in Indonesia, including PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia ("Hutchison"), which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand and PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk ("Smartfren Telecom"), which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

There has been and we expect there could be further consolidation in our industry in the future. For instance, XL Axiata completed the acquisition of a majority interest in and merged with PT Axis Telekom in 2014, which resulted in XL Axiata acquiring additional frequency allocations to provide 4G/LTE services as well as acquiring the customers of PT Axis Telekom. In December 2020, CK Hutchison and Qatar’s Ooredoo announced they had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding and initiated negotiations for combining their operations in Indonesia, subject to satisfactory completion of such negotiations and meeting certain requirements, including obtaining required regulatory approvals. Furthermore, we believe any merger or consolidation in the industry will help to promote a healthier competition between operators as well as better cost efficiencies and reduce overlapping in many areas.

Additional consolidation among cellular services providers may occur which may be driven by competitive factors as well as efforts to reduce operating costs and obtain wider spectrum allocation. In addition, we believe that it is the policyGovernment tends to encourage consolidation, including through the enactment of the MoCIJob Creation Law which regulates, among other things, telecommunications clusters, in an effort to supportpromote healthier competition among fewer industry consolidation by not issuing additional or new licenses for cellular services providers.players with a better cost-efficiency profile and wider spectrum allocations.

Consolidation of competitors for cellular services may allow them to expand the geographic coverage of their integrated network infrastructure. In recent years, both Telkomsel and its competitors have acquired wider spectrum allocationallocations as part of the Government's spectrum refarminginitiative. In 2019, we entered into a refarming arrangement with Indosat which was approved by the Government. This has allowed them to improve the quality of their cellular services as well as to expand the amount of traffic that they can service through their network, which may allow them to expand their services and increase revenues. Furthermore, the Government has proposed a draft regulation which would require telecommunication companiesJob Creation Law allows telecommunications operators to share network infrastructure and capacity.capacity on a B2B basis while applicable tariffs will remain determined by the operators and/or will remain based on the tariff formula as set out by the ICT ministry. Details relating to the implementation of such law are still unknown as at the date hereof since the implementing regulations have not been passed yet. See "—We may, in the future, be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors.competitors." As the telecommunications operator with the most extensive network infrastructure in Indonesia, thisif capacity and network sharing pursuant to such regulation if itwere not implemented on a B2B basis and such regulation were to become effective, it would allow our competitors to take advantage of our existing infrastructure without significant capital expenidture,expenditure, which would have a significant impact on competition.

As a result, any of these developments may present challenges for Telkomsel in maintaining its market position and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may further lose wireline telephone subscribers and revenues derived from our wireline voice services may continue to decline, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects

Revenues derived from our wireline voice services have declined during the past several years mainly due to the increasing popularity of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication. Tariffs for mobile services have declined in recent years which has further accelerated substitution of mobile for wireline voice services. The number of our fixed wireline subscribers decreased by 2.9%2.7% in 20182020 and revenues from our wireline voice services decreased by 13.3%27.2% in 2018.2020. The percentage of revenues derived from our wireline voice services out of our total revenues was 4.4%1.6% in 2018.2020.

Table of Contents

Since the beginning of 2015, we have taken various steps to stabilize our revenues from wireline voice services by seeking to migrate subscribers to IndiHome, a service which bundles fixed broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating the adverse impact of the substitution of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication for wireline voice services or in reducing the rate of decline in our revenues generated from wireline voice services. Migration from wireline voice services to mobile services and other alternative means of communication may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our wireline voice services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Our data and internet services are facing increasing competition, and we may experience declining margins and/or market share from such services as such competition intensifies

Our data and internet services are facing increased competition from other data and internet operators, including as mobile operators. The number of mobile broadband subscribers have increased with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, which adversely affects our market share and revenues from our fixed line data and internet services.

19

In addition, with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, data and internet services have become an intense area of competition in our industry. We have been taking various measures in order to mitigate the impact of intense competition in our data and internet businesses. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating such adverse impact. Competition may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our data and internet services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality

We expect to continue to offer promotional plans to attract subscribers and increase usage of our network by our cellular subscribers.subscribers, in particular during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. We also expect to continue to promote our data services and fixed broadband services. While we believe that we currently have sufficient spectrum allocation to support our current business, we may in the future need to acquire additional spectrum allocation to accommodate future growth in subscribers and traffic. As a result, we may experience increased network congestion, which may affect our network performance and damage our reputation with our subscribers. The Government occasionally conducts auctions for unused spectrum allocation. We seek to secure as much of the available spectrum as we expect is needed for our operations but, as this is a scarce resource and allocations are subject to regulatory factors which may change over time (such as auction rules) and other considerations, such as fair business conduct and fair competition, we cannot assure youguarantee that we will always be successful in acquiring any additionala position to secure spectrum allocation in future auctions.allocations consistent with our expectations or strategic objectives.

Moreover, the increase in smartphone applications that rely on data services has resulted in the significant amount of data traffic and cellular network congestion. To support such additional demands on our network, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to improve our network coverage. Such additional capital expenditures, together with the possible degradation of our cellular services, could materially and adversely affect our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Continuing growth in and the converging nature of wireless and broadband services will require us to deploy increasing amounts of capital and require ongoing access to spectrum in order to provide attractive services to customers

Telecommunications services are undergoing rapid and significant technological changes and a dramatic increase in usage, in particular, the demand for faster and seamless usage of video and data across mobile and fixed devices. We continually invest in our networks in order to improve our wireless and broadband services to meet this increasing demand and remain competitive. Improvements in these services depend on many factors, including continued access to and deployment of adequate spectrum and the capital needed to expand our network to support transport of these services. We must maintain and expand our network capacity and coverage for transport of video, data and voice between cell and fixed landline sites. To this end, we have participated in spectrum auctions, at increasing financial cost, and continue to deploy technology advancements in order to further improve our network. Further, we must pay an annual right of usage fee for the license in case of our winning additional spectrum, such as the additional 30 MHz spectrum at 2.3 GHz frequency we won at an auction in October 2017.

Network service enhancements and product launches may not occur as scheduled or at the cost expected due to many factors, including delays in determining equipment and wireless handset operating standards, supplier delays, increases in network equipment and handset component costs, regulatory permitting delays for tower sites or enhancements, or labor-related delays. Deployment of new technology also may adversely affect the performance of the network for existing services. If we cannot acquire neededthe required spectrum or deploy the services customers desire on a timely basis and at adequate cost,a reasonable price, then our ability to attract and retain customers, and therefore maintain and improve our operating margins, could be materially adversely affected.

Our continued investments in the construction of our infrastructure network may not adequately address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data traffic or otherwise achieve the desired economic returns.returns

We regularly review our network capability, advantage, and capacity availability and continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic.

Our wireless data traffic business has experienced significant growth in recent years, which contributed to the growth of our operating revenue and provides our business with further opportunities for development. In addition, weThe COVID-19 outbreak had an impact on consumption habits with more people working and learning from home, which positively impacted data traffic and shifted traffic from business districts to residential areas. We expect a continued and substantial increase in data traffic not only as a result of changes in consumption habits and consumers' behavior but also as a result of our efforts to make our data services affordable at a time where purchasing power and disposable income have been negatively affected. We launched our 4G/LTE services which are expected to drive further growth in data traffic. The continued2014 and the substantial increase in data traffic resulting from the growth of our wireless data traffic business, our 4G/LTE business and the proliferation of smartphones had significantly strainsstrained the existing capacity of our telecommunications network infrastructure. As a result, based on our anticipation of further significant traffic data growth, we have made and will continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic. We cannot assure youHowever, our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network is subject to various factors, a number of which are not within our control, such as regulations and changes in regulations, changes to the competitive environment or technological developments that these investments would successfully address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data trafficcould adversely affect our ability to improve or otherwiseexpand our infrastructure network as expected or desired and achieve the desired economic returns.anticipated returns on our investments.

We are subject to the control of the Government

The Government, through the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, currently owns 52.09% of our issued share capital. Consequently, the Government effectively controls the outcome of matters requiring the vote of our shareholders, including the composition of our boards of DirectorsPolitical and Commissioners, and determining the timing and amount of dividend payments. The Government has historically influenced, and is likely to continue to influence, our strategy and operations. In addition, the Government owns a Dwiwarna Share in our Company which gives the Government, represented by the Ministry of State-Owned Enterprises, certain rights such as right to veto with regard to the nomination, appointment and removal of our Directors and Commissioners, the issuance of new shares and any amendments to our Articles of Association. The rights of the Government attached to this Dwiwarna Share limit the ability of public shareholders to influence certain matters relating to our Company. Under our articles of association, the Government cannot transfer the Dwiwarna Share. The Government’s rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not terminate unless our articles of association are amended, which would require the approval of the Government as holder of the Dwiwarna Share. See "Relationship with the Government and Government Agencies — The Government as Shareholder."

There can be no assurance that the Government will exercise its control and influence to our benefit. For example, the Government may request us to enter into transactions which are not in our best interests. In addition, there can also be no assurance that we will ever become independent of our Government shareholder, or even if we do become independent, that we will be able to exercise any such independence effectively in making decisions concerning our business and prospects, including decisions concerning compensation from the Government when we act in the public interest. If we agree to act in the public interest and are not adequately compensated by the Government, our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity and result of operations may be materially and adversely affected, which would limit our ability to compete effectively and expand our business.

FinancialSocial Risks

We are exposed to interest rate risk

Our debt includes bank borrowings used to finance our operations. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we aim to balance the share of our fixed rate loansCurrent political and floating rate loanssocial events in our bank borrowings. We try to achieve this where there are opportunities to increase the share of fixed-rate loans in our overall loan portfolio in light of prevailing interest rates available in the market at any given time and based on market and our expectations as to future floating and fixed interest rates.  By the end of 2018, approximately 40% of our total bank borrowings were floating rate loans.

Changes in the economic situation in the United States may also have an impact on Southeast Asia and Indonesia. In part, in an effort to support the Rupiah, Bank Indonesia raised its benchmark reference rate six times between May 2018 and November 2018 to 6.00%. These increase of the Bank Indonesia benchmark reference rate were followed by increases in the Jakarta Interbank Offered Rate ("JIBOR") and the Bank Indonesia Certificate ("SBI") interest rates. There can be no assurance that any of the Bank Indonesia benchmark reference rate, the JIBOR or the SBI interest rates will not rise again in the future.

21

We may not be able to successfully manage our foreign currency exchange risk

Changes in exchange rates have affected and may continue to affect our financial condition and results of operations. Most of our debt obligations are denominated in Indonesian Rupiah and a majority of our capital expenditures are denominated in U.S. Dollars. Most of our revenues are denominated in Indonesian Rupiah, although a portion is denominated in U.S. Dollars (for example, from international services). We may also incur additional long-term indebtedness in currencies other than the Indonesian Rupiah, including the U.S. Dollars, to finance further capital expenditures. Depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah against the U.S Dollar may material affect our results of operation because, among other things, it would cause an increase in the amount of Indonesian Rupiah required by us to make interest and principal payments on U.S Dollar debt, and increase, in Rupiah terms, the cost of equipment that we purchase from overseas and pay for in U.S Dollars.

From 2014 to 2018, the Indonesian Rupiah per U.S. Dollar exchange rate ranged from a high of Rp11,271 per U.S. Dollar to a low of Rp15,253 per U.S. Dollar. As a result, we recorded foreign exchange losses of Rp52 billion in 2016 and foreign exchange gain of Rp51 billion in 2017 and Rp71 billion in 2018. As of December 31, 2018, the Indonesian Rupiah per U.S. Dollar exchange rate stood at Rp14,481 per U.S. Dollar, compared to Rp13,548 per U.S. Dollar as of December 29, 2017. To the extent that the Indonesian Rupiah depreciates further from the exchange rate as of December 2018, our U.S. Dollar-denominated obligations under our accounts payable and procurements payable, as well as payments for foreign currency-denominated loans payable and bonds payable, would increase in Indonesian Rupiah terms. A depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah would also increase the Indonesian Rupiah cost of our capital expenditures as most of our capital expenditures are priced in or with reference to foreign currencies, mainly U.S. Dollars and Euros, while a substantial majority of our revenues are in Indonesian Rupiah. Such depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah would result in losses on foreign exchange translation and significantly affect our total expenses and net income, and may consequently have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We can give no assurance that we will be able to control or manage our exchange rate risk successfully in the future or that we will not be adversely affected by our exposure to exchange rate risk. 

Although we have a financial risk management program and a written policy for foreign currency risk management which mainly uses time deposits placements and hedging to cover foreign currency risk exposure for periods ranging from three to 12 months, we can give no assurance that we will be able to manage our exchange rate risk successfully or that our business, financial condition or results of operations will not be adversely affected by our exposure to exchange rate risk.

We may be unable to fund the capital expenditures needed for us to remain competitive in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia

The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our telecommunications infrastructure technology, which involves substantial capital investment. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2017 and 2018, our consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp29,199 billion, Rp33,154 billion and Rp33,620 billion (US$2,338 million), respectively. Our ability to fund capital expenditures in the future will depend on our future operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and upon our ability to obtain additional external financing. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. In addition, we can only incur additional financing in compliance with the terms of our debt agreements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to improve or expand our telecommunications infrastructure technology or update our other technologies to the extent necessary to remain competitive in the Indonesian telecommunications market. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

22

Legal and Compliance Risks

If we are found liable for anti-competitive practices, we may be subjected to substantial liability which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to anti-competitive practices and anti-monopoly. Law No.5 of 1999 on Prohibition of Monopolistic Practice and Unfair Business Competition (the "Competition Law") prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia’s antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Competition Law.

In 2016, our Company, Telkomsel and five other local operators were found to have violated the Competition Law for price-fixing practices related to SMS services. We and Telkomsel have paid penalties to the treasury fund in the amount of Rp18 billion and Rp25 billion, respectively.

In 2017, it was alleged that we had violated the Competition Law by selling our bundling program which is marketed under the retail brand "IndiHome." This product allows customers to choose one or more of our services, which consist primarily of broadband Internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services, at a competitive price. Although KPPU held that we did not violate the provisions in the Competition Law, the case highlights the risk that our business strategy could be challenged by our customers or regulators.

In November 2018, we received a summons from the KPPU regarding unspecified allegations of violations of Business Competition Law. We are in the process of gathering information for further discussion with KPPU, but we have not received any information on the exact subject matter of, or reason for such investigation. Our policy is to collaborate fully with KPPU and their investigation.

We cannot assure you that any new or existing governmental regulators will not, in the future, find our business practices to have an anti-competitive effect, nor can we assure you that we will not be found to have violated the relevant laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly in the future. If we are found to have violated any laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly, we may be subjected to substantial liability such as payments of fines, the amount of which will be subject to the discretion of the courts, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Regulation Risks

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant change. These changes may result in increased competition, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenue, among other things. These changes may also directly reduce our margins or reduce the costs of our competitors. These adverse changes resulting from regulation may have a material adverse effect on us

Reform of Indonesian telecommunications regulations initiated by the Government in 1999 have, to a certain extent, resulted in the industry’s liberalization, including removal of barriers to entry and the promotion of competition. However, in recent years, the volume and complexity of regulatory changes has created an environment of considerable regulatory uncertainty. In addition, as the legal and regulatory environment of the Indonesian telecommunications sector continue to change, competitors, potentially with greater resources than us, may enter the Indonesian telecommunications sector and compete with us in providing telecommunications services. Furthermore, it is impossible to anticipate the regulatory policies that will be applied to new technologies.

We derive substantial revenue from interconnection services because we have the largest network in Indonesia and our competitors must pay tariffs to connect to our network. As regulated by the MoCI, although SMS interconnection rates increased from Rp23 to Rp24, as a result of ITRB No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 effective April 2014, through December 31, 2015, SMS interconnection rates have been decreasing in recent years and may decrease again in the future. As a result, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease in the future if SMS interconnection rates, as regulated by the MoCI, continue to decrease.

23

The Government has socialized its plan (and has already circulated a white paper) to gradually shift the existing interconnection services regime to be an internet protocol-based. It is expected that, in 2025, all interconnection services will be IP-based and existing interconnection services (e.g. SMS) would only be part of the value added service. If this government initiative is realized, we may need to significantly change our existing infrastructure (which our competitors rely on in carrying out conventional interconnection services, and pay tariffs to us) with the new technologies. Consequently, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease, and we may need to reserve costs to procure new infrastructures.

In the future, the Government may announce or implement other regulatory changes which may adversely affect our business or our existing licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with other domestic or foreign telecommunications operators, that regulatory changes will not disproportionately reduce our competitors’ costs or disproportionately reduce our revenues, or that regulatory changes, amendments or interpretations of current or future laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

Regulatory changes may adversely affect our business and results of operations

We operate in a regulated environment, and our telecommunication operations are mainly regulated by the MoCI. We are also required to comply with applicable information and technology, and consumer data protection laws and regulations in carrying out our activities. Future regulatory changes, particularly with respect to telecommunication network, telecommunication service provisions, and data protection may generate incremental costs and delays, thereby adversely affecting our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In December 2018, the OJK issued two draft regulations to replace BAPEPAM-LK Regulation No. IX.E.1 on Affiliated Party Transactions and Conflicts of Interest in Certain Transactions, as attached to Decision of the Chairman of Bapepam-LK No. Kep-412/BL/2009 ("Draft OJK Regulation on Affiliated Party Transaction") and Bapepam-LK Regulation No. IX.E.2 on Material Transactions and Change of Main Business Activities, as attached to Decision of the Chairman of Bapepam-LK No. Kep-614/BL/2011 ("Draft OJK Regulation on Material Transaction"). Both Draft Regulation on Affiliated Party Transaction and Draft Regulation on Material Transaction introduce a wider coverage of transactions that are subject to stricter requirements than the previous regulations. If these draft regulations are enacted by the Government in their current form, certain actions that used to be exempted will now be subject to public disclosure requirements, and we would be subject to a more stringent and stricter supervision from the Government, especially the OJK.

In addition, licenses obtained by us under applicable Indonesian laws and regulations may be subject to conditions, compliance with which may be expensive, difficult or impossible. It is possible that Governmental authorities could take enforcement actions against us for our failure to comply with such regulations, including the aforementioned conditions. These enforcement actions could result, among other things, in the imposition of fines or the revocation of our licenses. Compliance with such regulations could require us to make substantial capital expenditures and consequently divert funds from our planned construction projects. We could also experience delays in our business schedules as a result of such compliance efforts. Each of the above could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

24

Applicable regulations on tariffs and their implementation as supervised by the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority ("ITRA") may affect our revenues and earnings

The Government does not set a fixed amount or specified range of tariff that must be charged by telecommunication operators to their customers. However, the Government does set out formulas that telecommunication operators like us must refer to in determining the tariff for our services. MoCI Regulation No.15/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Basic Telephony Service Distributed through Fixed Line ("MoCI Regulation No.15/2008") and MoCI Regulation No.09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Telecommunication Service Distributed through Mobile Cellular Network ("MoCI Regulation No.09/2008") are the applicable regulations for tariff calculation and determination relating to basic telephony and cellular services. Tariff formulation for our internet telephony service is subject to MoCI Regulation No.8 of 2017 on Provision of Internet Telephony Service for Public ("MoCI Regulation No.8/2017"). Based on MoCI Regulation No.8/2017, the tariff for internet telephony service is determined by us, as the operator, on a cost-based calculation. The regulation does not discuss at length the formula that we must apply in determining the tariff. It only requires us to (i) account for investment in the telecommunications network, (ii) account for investment in infrastructure relating to internet telephony services and (iii) maintain that the tariff for internet telephony service corresponds with the tariff for basic telephony services.

The formulas set out in MoCI Regulation No.15/2008 and MoCI Regulation No.09/2008 comprise numerous variables, such as cost of capital, cost of equity, cost of debt, annuity factor, traffic data and fee cost. These variables are accounted for based on, among other things, our annual financial reports and statements. Although this may seem to give us flexibility in tariff formulation, the Government is still authorized to supervise the implementation of tariff formulation through (i) ITRA, for basic telephony and cellular services, and (ii) Directorate General on Post and Informatics ("DGPI"), for Internet telephony service. Based on its supervision, ITRA may take further action as it sees fit if any of our actions is deemed to potentially disrupt fair competition in the telecommunication market. Our promotional tariff must be carefully planned and calculated to avoid any possible "predatory pricing" claim; as the Government does not fix an amount for the lowest tariff that we may charge to our customers.

If we violate the tariff formulation as governed under these tariff regulations, we will be subject to fines (relating to MoCI Regulation No.15/2008) and examination by ITRA (relating to MoCI Regulation No.09/2008). Both regulations allow the public to participate in the supervision process by submitting complaints, e.g. regarding unfavorable fees charged by us. Meanwhile, the lack of directive in MoCI Regulation No.8/2017 relating to tariff implementation violation could lead to unpredictable action that may be taken by DGPI. We cannot assure you that there will be no actions taken by either ITRA or DGPI against us or complaints alleged by our customers against us. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Regulations for the configuration of BTS towers may delay the set up of new BTS towers or changes in the placement of existing towers, and may erode our leadership position by requiring us to share our towers with our competitors

In 2008 and 2009, the Government issued a regulation relating to the construction, utilization and sharing of BTS towers. Pursuant to the regulations, the construction of BTS towers requires permits from the local government. The local government has a right to determine the location of the towers and the license fees to build tower infrastructure. The regulation issued in 2008 was revoked in 2018.business.

This regulation may adversely affect us in the allocation, development or expansion plan of our new BTS towers as setting up of our new towers will become more complicated. We may be prohibited from setting up new BTS towers in certain local areas thereby restricting our expansion as well. It may also adversely affect our existing BTS towers if local governments require any changes in the placement of the existing towers.

In addition, this regulation requires us to allow other telecommunication operators to lease space on and utilize our telecommunications towers in a manner that provides equal opportunity to and without any discrimination among such other telecommunication operators. This allows our competitors to expand their networks by leasing space on and utilizing our telecommunications towers without having to expend capital expenditures to build their own telecommunications towers. As a result, our competitors may be able to expand their network quickly and grow their business quickly, particularly in urban areas where new space for additional towers may be difficult to obtain.

25

In order to operate our telecommunications towers, Indonesian regulations allow local governments to impose fees which are determined on a cost basis subject to a formula provided by the Ministry of Finance and the location of the telecommunications towers. While the local governments that have yet begun to impose such fees have not charged material amounts, we cannot assure you that such fees will not be material in the future. In addition, we cannot assure you that there will be no material difference in the amount of fees that we would be liable to pay to the relevant local governments. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

We may experience local community opposition to some of our tower sites

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, local community opposition to our existing sites or the construction of new tower sites for various reasons, including aesthetic and alleged health concerns. As a result of such opposition, we could be required by the local authorities to dismantle and relocate certain towers. If we are required to relocate a material number of our towers and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, it could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to numerous non-tax state revenue payments and a Universal Service Obligation Contribution ("USO Contribution")

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations authorizing the Government to collect non-tax state revenue from us. Pursuant to Government Regulation No.80 of 2015 on Applicable Types and Tariff on Non-Tax State Revenue for MoCI ("GR No.80/2015"), the Government's non-tax revenue may be derived from, among other things, tests for telecommunication devices, telecommunications operations and use of radio frequency spectrum. MoCI Regulation No.17 of 2016 on Tariff Implementation Guidelines on Non-Tax State Revenue Collected from Telecommunication Operation Rights Fee (Biaya Hak Penyelenggaraan, or "BHP") and USO Contribution, as amended by MoCI Regulation No.19 of 2016 ("MoCI Regulation No.19/2016") specifies that every licensed telecommunication operator must pay the Telecommunication BHP and USO Contribution. Government Regulation No.53 of 2000 on Use of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit ("GR No.53/2000") and MoCI Regulation No.21 of 2014 also specifies the obligation for telecommunication operators that use a slot in the orbit for their satellite to pay a satellite orbit operation right fee.

Under the Telecommunications Law, telecommunication operators must participate in USO Contribution. Further, according to MoCI Regulation No.10 of 2018 on Implementation of Telecommunication and Informatics USO ("MoCI Regulation No.10/2018"), the USO Contribution will be one of the sources of funding for provision of information and communication technology infrastructure. This infrastructure provision is targeted to (i) remote areas needing access to information and telecommunication technology, (ii) groups of citizens with disabilities or economic limitations and/or (iii) other areas that still require access to information and telecommunication technology.

According to the Telecommunications Law, failure to make the non-tax state revenue payment and participate in USO Contribution will be subject to administrative sanctions; the most adverse one of which is revocation of license (which should be preceded by written warnings). While we have not previously failed to make the requisite payments, any failure by us to pay these obligations may cause our licenses to be revoked. Any revocation of licenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The interpretation and application of the anticipated enactment of a new consumer data protection regulation are uncertain and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

Law No.11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions Law as amended by Law No.19 of 2016 ("EIT Law") first came into effect on April 21, 2008. The EIT Law sets forth general principles to be further implemented through a series of Government regulations, presidential decrees and ministerial decrees, some of which have not yet been promulgated. In general, the provisions of the law are broad, and few sources of interpretive guidance are available. A number of implementing regulations to the EIT Law have been enacted, among others, Government Regulation No.82 of 2012 on Implementation of Electronic System and Transaction ("GR No.82/2012") and MoCI Regulation No.20 of 2016 on Protection of Personal Data in an Electronic System ("MoCI Regulation No.20/2016"). These regulations are new and subject to interpretation by the regulatory authorities. Pending clear instances of the application of such regulations, it is uncertain how these regulations will affect us.

26

Not all of the implementing regulations to the EIT Law have been issued and some have only been recently enacted. Accordingly, the full impact of the EIT Law, the related implementing regulations and any change in Indonesian consumer data protection regulations on our financial and operational status cannot be determined at this time. There is no assurance that we would be able to comply with the EIT Law, or that the compliance would not require us to make substantial capital expenditure or delays in our business schedules.

Furthermore, it is anticipated that a new regulation will be enacted in the future; the form and timing of which is uncertain. The MoCI has issued two draft amendments to GR No.82/2012. The first draft amendment which was issued on February 2018 (i) introduces a broad definition of electronic system operators that provide a "public service," (ii) introduces a brand new concept of data categorization, (iii) implements provisions for the registration of electronic system operators, (iv) implements provisions for the right to be forgotten and (v) implements provisions for the Government's right to terminate access to electronic information and/or documents (generally in respect of unlawful online content). The second draft amendment which was issued on October 2018 (i) introduces a new concept of electronic system feasibility study, (ii) implements requirements for an electronic transaction, (iii) implements provisions on deletion mechanism, (iv) introduction of new concept of digital identity and (v) amendment on provisions for strategic electronic data. If this draft regulation is enacted by the Government in its current form, it is possible that we would be subject to several obligations such as registration with the MoCI, keeping onshore data centers and disaster recovery centers, treatment of data based on the new categorization and the implementation of electronic system feasibility. Further, to the extent that the implementation or interpretation by Indonesian regulatory authorities, courts or MoCI of the new regulations in connection with EIT Law are adverse to us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Our electronic money business activity is highly regulated

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations in respect of our electronic money (e-money) business activities. The practice of e-money in Indonesia is mainly governed by Bank Indonesia ("BI") Regulation No.20/6/PBI/2018 on on Electronic Money ("BI Regulation No.20/2018"). Any party which wishes to carry out e-moneyTerrorist activities in Indonesia must first obtain an e-money license granted by BI. Although we, through our subsidiary Telkomsel, have obtained an e-money license from BI, we are still subject to evaluation conducted by BI. Under BI Regulation No.20/2018, BI is authorized to take further action based on the evaluation as it sees fit, among others, to revoke a license, to accelerate the license period or to limit the license holder's activity. Subject to evaluation, if BI takes the view that there are reasons to impose any of those further actions on Telkomsel, our ability to conduct business in the usual coursecould destabilize Indonesia, which would be limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

BI Circular Letter No.16/11/DKSP dated July 22, 2014 on Electronic Money Operations which was most recently amended by BI Circular Letter No.18/21/DKSP dated September 27, 2016, further implements the obligation for e-money license holders to report any change in the type or name, developments or addition of facilities to the e-money product. See Item 4 "Information on the Company — Licensing — Payment Method Using e-Money." The amendment of this circular specifies that an e-money product with a different type and/or name, developments and/or additional facilities can only be issued after obtaining approval from BI. Further, BI Regulation No.20/2018 is also implemented by BI's Board of Governor Members Regulation No.20/21/PADG/2018 dated August 20, 2018 on the Report on the Implementation of Payment Using Card and Electronic Money Activities by Smallholder Credit Banks and Non-Bank Institutions ("BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018"). BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018 regulates the reporting obligation that must be satisfied by any party practicing e-money activity.

We must comply with these regulations as we are carrying out a business which is highly regulated. If we, through Telkomsel, fail to comply with any of these obligations, we will be subject to administrative sanctions. Any sanction imposed on Telkomsel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Macro-Economic Risks Related to Development of New Businesses

We may not succeed in our efforts to develop new businesses

We believe that efforts to develop new businesses other than the telecommunication business such as digital life and smart platform and enterprise digital businesses, as well as international expansion are necessary to ensure continuing business growth. Risks related to new business development include competition from established players, suitability of business model, competition from disruptive new technologiesNegative changes in global, regional or business models, the need to acquire new expertise in the new areas of operation, and risks related to online media which include intellectual property, consumer protection and confidentiality of customer data. Further, we have to continuously and consistently secure new enterprise customers.If we are unable to secure new contracts, or we are unable to renew our existing contracts with similar contract value, size or margins to existing ones, this mayIndonesian economic activity could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.business.

Focusing on international expansion is one of our strategic business initiatives. In particular, we have expanded into a number of jurisdictions in telecommunications or data related areas, namely Singapore, Hong Kong,  Macau, Timor Leste, Australia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Taiwan, United States,  Saudi Arabia and New Zealand. Expanding our operations internationally exposes us to a number of risks associated with operating in new jurisdictions, for example, our international operations could be adversely affected by political or social instability and unrest, regulatory changes, such as an increase in taxes applicable to our operations, macroeconomic instability, limitations on or controls on the foreign exchange trade, competition from local operators, difference in consumer preference and a lack of expertiseFluctuations in the local markets in which we will operate. Anyvalue of these factors could cause our expected returns from our expansion to be limitedthe Indonesian Rupiah may materially and could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and 65.3% ofevents beyond our revenue in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively, from our mobile business through our 65.0% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. The remaining 35.0% interest in Telkomsel is held by Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte Ltd ("Singtel"). Singtel may seek to influence the management, operation and performance of Telkomsel. In the event that there are differences between us and Singtel, regarding the business, strategy and operations of Telkomsel, these issues may take time to resolve, or may not result in a positive outcome for our Group. These factorscontrol, which could adversely affect our business financial condition and operating results.

We may be affected by uncertainty in the balance of power between local governments and the central government in Indonesia.

Risks related to our ADSs

The trading price of our ADSs may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to you.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about us or our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline.

The different characteristics of the capital markets in Indonesia and the U.S. may negatively affect the trading prices of our ADSs and shares.

Operational Risks

A material failure in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws governing companies with limited liability, and allcontinuing operations of our network, certain key systems, gateways to our network or the networks of other network operators could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We depend to a significant assetsdegree on the uninterrupted operation of our network to provide our services. For example, we depend on access to our fixed wireline network for the operation of our fixed line network and the termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed line telephones, and a significant portion of our cellular and international long distance call traffic is routed through the PSTN. We also depend on access to an internet and broadband network and a cellular network. Our integrated network includes a copper access network, fiber optic access network, BTSs, switching equipment, optical and radio transmission equipment, an IP Core network, satellites and application servers.

In addition, we also rely on interconnection to the networks of other telecommunications operators to carry calls and data from our subscribers to the subscribers of operators both within Indonesia and overseas. We also depend on certain technologically sophisticated management information systems and other systems, such as our customer billing system, to enable us to conduct our operations. Our network, including our information systems, IT and infrastructure and the networks of other operators with whom our subscribers are locatedinterconnected, are vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operation from a variety of sources including earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, equipment failure, network software flaws, transmission cable disruption or similar events. For example, in 2018 and 2019, a number of submarine cables that we rely on to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago were damaged mostly as a result of earthquakes. In 2020, a few submarine cables were damaged due to shunt faults (i.e., existence of a current leakage path between the power conductor and seawater without a break in the power conductor) and cuts. As a result, services in east Indonesia faced slowdowns and disruptions as we had to redirect affected traffic through satellites until the submarine cables could be restored. One of our building in Pekanbaru suffered fire damage in August 2020 and certain of our infrastructures and equipment were damaged by flood in Jakarta, Sulawesi and Kalimantan in 2020, without any such damages causing material interruption to our operations.

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, we cannot guarantee that the implementation of such plans will be completely or partially successful should any portion of our network be severely damaged or interrupted. Any failure that results in an interruption of our operations or of the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors

Under the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation No. 46 of 2021 on Post, Telecommunication and Broadcasting ("GR No.46/2021"), telecommunication service providers with passive telecommunication infrastructure (e.g., ducts, towers, poles, or communication manholes, among others) has to give access to its passive telecommunication infrastructure to other telecommunication providers. GR No.46/2021 states that such use of passive telecommunication infrastructure must be based on cooperation and mutual agreement between the parties involved in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminative manner.

Further, a telecommunication service provider with active telecommunication and/or broadcasting infrastructure may give access to such active infrastructure to other telecommunication provider as agreed mutually and in furtherance of fair business competition. This may be achieved by leasing of network capacity to other telecommunication providers.

It remains to be seen how these new provisions will affect our business and our relations with other telecommunication players in Indonesia. In addition, allWe cannot assure you that the Government will adopt final terms which we will consider to be commercially reasonable. For example, we cannot assure you that any subsequent or implementing regulations will allow us to charge competitors who lease our network capacity fees at rates which we will consider to be commercially acceptable. If such regulations were to be implemented, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, financial condition, results of our Commissionersoperations and Directors resideprospects.

Our operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) or other epidemics

An outbreak, or the fear of an outbreak of any severe infectious disease such as diseases caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the H5N1 avian flu or the human swine flu (H1N1) or a similar communicable diseases, if uncontrolled, or restrictions or containment measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, could have a material adverse effect on the overall business sentiment in Indonesia and in economies where we carry out our business, on Indonesian and international consumers' confidence and purchasing behavior, and in turn, on demand for our products and services. Most recently, in January 2020, an outbreak of COVID-19 believed to have started in Wuhan, Hubei, China, spread aggressively in multiple countries, including Indonesia, other countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. The World Health Organization (the "WHO") declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a substantial"pandemic" on March 11, 2020. On April 13, 2020, the President of Indonesia issued Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020 declaring the current COVID-19 pandemic a national disaster. Various measures have been implemented to contain the outbreak in certain regions and countries, resulting in extensive government-imposed restrictions and containment measures, including restrictions on domestic and international travel, restrictions on public gatherings, social distancing, office and school closures, and local or general "stay at home" or quarantine orders. Such measures have resulted in a period of business disruptions, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the assetsworld’s population, and a decrease in economic activities in several countries, including Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreak of such persons are located outsideinfectious diseases, similar or more stringent measures could be taken that may further worsen the United States. As a result, itIndonesian economy and the global economy.

If the current COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases were to develop and persist, customers may delay, suspend or decrease orders for our products and services, and demand for certain of our products and services may decrease. Our distribution network and retail outlets may also experience significant disruption due to physical distancing measures and other containment measures. Our ability to provide services to our clients that require our teams to access their homes or offices may also be difficult for investors to effect service of process, or enforce judgments on us or such persons within the United States, or to enforce against us or such personsnegatively impacted. Such disruptions did occur in the United States, judgments obtainedyear ended December 31, 2020 but did not significantly affect our operations, business and results of operations. Regardless of enhanced hygiene and precautionary measures to safeguard the safety and health of our employees and customers, we could be subject to labor shortages or suspension of work if certain of our personnel, in United States courts.

We have been advised by Hadiputranto, Hadinoto & Partners,Indonesia or elsewhere, were to become infected with the disease or restrictions and containment measures described above were to affect their ability to reach our Indonesian legal advisor, that judgments of United States courts, including judgments predicated uponoffices and outlets. Our operations may also be significantly and adversely affected if government-imposed restrictions or other containment measures require us to suspend our operations, partially or entirely. Finally, the civil liability provisionsnegative impact of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States, are not enforceable in Indonesian courts, although such judgments could be admissible as non-conclusive evidence in a proceedingoutbreak on the underlying claimglobal economy may increase counterparty risks or increase difficulties in an Indonesian court.

As a result, the claimant would be required to pursue claims against us or such persons in Indonesian courts.

Our controlling shareholder’s interest may differ from those of our other shareholders

The Government has a controlling stake of 52.09% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the ability to determine the outcome of all actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The Government also holds our one Dwiwarna Share, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of our Directors and Commissioners. The Government may also use its powers as a  majority shareholder or under the Dwiwarna Share to cause us to issue new shares, amend our Articles of Association or bring about actions to merge or dissolve us, increase or decrease our authorized capital or reduce our issued capital, or veto any of these actions. One or more of these may result in the delisting of our securities from certain exchanges. In addition, the Government regulates the Indonesian telecommunications industry through the MoCI.

As of December 31, 2018, the Government had a 14.29% equity stake in PT Indosat Tbk ("Indosat"),  which competes with us in cellular services, data center services, IT solutions, system integration services and fixed IDD telecommunications services. The Government's stake in Indosat also includes a Dwiwarna Share which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain strategic matters under Indosat's articles of association, including decisions on dissolution, liquidation and bankruptcy, and also permits the Government to nominate one director to its board of directors and one commissioner to its board of commissioners. As a result, there may be instances where the Government’s interests will conflict with ours.predict. There is no assurance that the Governmentoutbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia or elsewhere can be effectively controlled, or that another disease outbreak will not direct opportunitieshappen in the future. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to Indosatthe full extent of the above-described potential delays and disruptions on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Our networks face both potential physical and cyber security threats, such as theft, vandalism and acts intended to disrupt our operations, which could adversely affect our operating results

Our networks and equipment, particularly our wireline access network, face both potential physical and cyber security threats. Physical threats include theft and vandalism of our equipment and organized attacks against key infrastructure intended to disrupt operations. In addition, telecommunications companies worldwide face increasing cyber security threats as businesses become increasingly dependent on telecommunications and computer networks, and adopt cloud technologies. Cyber security threats include gaining unauthorized access to our systems or favor Indosatinserting computer viruses or malicious software in our systems to misappropriate consumer data and other sensitive information, corrupt our data or disrupt our operations. Unauthorized access may also be gained through traditional means such as the theft of computers, portable data devices or mobile phones and intelligence gathering on employees with access to our systems.

Although we have not experienced any material successful cyberattacks to date that have affected our operations, our network and website are frequently targeted by cyberattacks. For example, in October 2018, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia's ("Telkomsat") corporate website was defaced. The content on the homepage was altered, which left customers unable to access the site for part of one day, before the site was restored. In 2020, we detected 49.44 million cyber threats to our servers. Almost all of those threats were non-disruptive and only 78 of them raised to the level of issues we needed to specifically address, which we did successfully and promptly. In addition, we cannot guarantee that safety procedures we have in place and our intrusion detection systems may always prove efficient against illegal access to our internal data and databases, customers', suppliers and other telecommunication operator when exercising regulatory powersparties' data hosted on our systems. If we are unable to prevent such attacks or successfully detect such intrusions in a timely manner or at all, such data could be misappropriated and illegally used or disseminated. While none of these cyberattacks have caused significant losses to date, a successful cyberattack may lead us to incur substantial costs to repair damage or restore data, implement substantial organizational changes and training to prevent future similar attacks and lost revenues and litigation costs due to misused sensitive information, liabilities for information loss, breach of confidentiality of private information, and cause substantial reputational damage. Cyberattacks may also cause equipment failures, loss of information, including sensitive information or information stored in our customers' computer systems and mobile phone systems, failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security or data protection laws, as well as disruption to our operations or our customers' operations. Furthermore, it might be difficult to calculate the economic costs caused by potential cyber security incidents and maintain sufficient insurance coverage relating to them at commercially reasonable rates and terms. Eliminating computer viruses and other security problems may also require interruptions, delays or suspension of our services, reduce our customer satisfaction and cause us to incur additional costs. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be precisely predicted. We take preventive and remedial measures with respect to our systems, including enhanced cooperation with the police, particularly in areas prone to criminal activity and regular updates of our information system security measures. While we believe that we have taken appropriate measures to protect our network, there is no assurance that these physical and cyber security measures will be successful. Damage to our network, equipment or data and the need to repair such damage resulting from a physical or cyberattack may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face a number of risks relating to our internet-related services

In addition to cyber security threats, since we provide connections to the internet and host websites for customers and develop internet content and applications, we may be perceived as being associated with the content carried over our network or displayed on websites that we host. For example, in the Indonesian telecommunications industry. Ifpast, due to an escalation in spam messages generated from email addresses on the GovernmentTelkom network, Telkom was placed on certain DNS blacklists which blocked all email generated from Telkom addresses for almost a week until remedial measures could be put into place. This did not occur in 2020 as anti-spam tools already deployed into our systems significantly mitigated the effect of cyberattacks on our systems.

24


Table of Contents

While we have made certain administrative and technical adjustments to identify and combat spam, we cannot assure you that such measures will always be effective and that we would not be placed on certain DNS blacklists again in the future. In addition, the content carried over our network or the websites that we host may contain materials or information which may be illegal, defamatory, impermissible or infringe on third party copyrights. We cannot and do not screen all of this content and may face litigation claims due to a perceived association with such content. These types of claims can be costly to defend, divert management resources and attention, and may damage our reputation.

A revenue leakage might occur due to internal weaknesses or external factors and if this risk were to give prioritymaterialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results

We may face revenue leakage or problems with collecting all the revenues to which we may be entitled, due to the possibility of inaccurate billing, delays in transaction processing, dishonest customers or other factors. Further, our services might be susceptible to piracy and unauthorized usage. Such piracy and unauthorized usage may lead to a loss of revenue for our Group which may affect our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, in recent years the use of simboxes, which are electronic boxes that use cell phone antennae or a BTS on which local operator SIM cards are installed so that international calls can be fraudulently terminated through local numbers so that the fraudster can bypass interconnection rates in the destination country, have led to a loss of revenue for our Group.

We have taken certain preventive measures to mitigate the possibility of revenue leakage by increasing control functions in all of our existing business processes, increasing cooperation and information sharing between operational units to detect potential fraud, implementing revenue assurance methods, employing adequate policies and procedures as well as implementing information systems applications to minimize revenue leakages. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that in the future there will be no significant revenue leakages or that any such leakages will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

New technologies may adversely affect our ability to remain competitive

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. We may face increasing competition due to technologies under development or which may be developed in the future. Future development or application of Indosatnew or any other telecommunication operator over ours,alternative technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to expand its stakeour business model, the development of new products, the provision of additional services and substantial new investments by us. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in Indosatthe introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. We cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect our operations or acquirethe competitiveness of our services. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively integrate new technologies into our existing business model.

One of the main challenges faced by the telecommunications industry in Indonesia is the increasing use of Over The Top services that has become a stakesubstitute for voice and SMS services, in any other telecommunication operator,line with the growing number of smartphone users. In particular, the percentage contribution from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenues has declined from 26.3% for 2018 to 14.2% for 2020. This has happened not only in Indonesia, but also in developed countries where smartphone penetration is high. In addition, we face a continuing risk of market entry by new operators and service providers (including non-telecommunications players and Over The Top players) who, by using newer or lower cost technologies, may succeed in rapidly attracting customers away from established market participants such as ourselves. This may result in a loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services entry barriers being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. For example, the increased availability of high-throughput satellite capacity in Indonesia has increased competition, and adversely affected pricing, for our satellite business.

We cannot assure you that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will be able to acquire new technologies necessary to compete in changed circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

Expected benefits from investment in new networks and technologies may not be realized

We may pursue new growth opportunities in the communications industry in the future, including introducing services and products employing new technologies, such as next generation mobile technologies, 5G, virtualization, software-defined networking, cloud based technologies, new video and content delivery platforms and digital marketing. The implementation of these new technologies depends on a number of factors, including developing our network and the launch of new and commercially viable products and services involving these technologies. We may have to incur substantial expenditure to develop our network, services and products and to gain access to related or enabling technologies in order to successfully implement these new technologies. We may not be successful in modifying our network infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner to facilitate such implementation, which could adversely affect our quality of service, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we may face the risk of unforeseen complications in the deployment of new technologies. Any newly adopted technology may not perform as expected, and we may not be able to successfully or on a timely basis to develop the new technology to effectively and economically deliver services based on such technology.

Our satellites have limited operational life and they may be damaged or destroyed during in-orbit operation or suffer launch delays or failures. The loss or reduced performance of a satellite, whether caused by equipment failure or its license being revoked, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services

We operate three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and the Merah Putih Satellite. These satellites have limited operational lives, and their design lives ended or will end approximately in 2020, 2032 and 2033, respectively. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life can be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their systems, sub-systems and component parts, on-board fuel reserves, accuracy of their launch into orbit, exposure to micrometeorite storms, or other natural events in space, collision with orbital debris, or the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. We use satellite transponder capacity on our satellites in connection with many aspects of our business, including direct leasing of such capacity and routing for our international long distance and cellular services.

International Telecommunication Union regulations specify that a designated satellite orbital slot has been allocated for Indonesia and the Government has the right to determine which party is licensed to use such slot. While we hold a license to use the designated satellite orbital slot, in the event any of our satellites experience technical problems or failure, the Government may determine that we have failed to optimize the existing slot under our license, which may result in the Government withdrawing our license. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain use of the designated satellite orbital slot in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Government.

Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular Telecommunications Business

Competition from existing cellular service providers may adversely affect our cellular services business

The Indonesian cellular service business is highly competitive. Competition among cellular service providers in Indonesia is based on various factors, including pricing, network quality and coverage, the range of services, features offered and customer service. With the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, we believe that data network quality and coverage, including 4G/LTE coverage, will increasingly become an intense area of competition. In recent years, competitors have offered promotions such as bonus data packages in order to attract customers, which has generally made the pricing environment in Indonesia less profitable. In 2019, the intensity of downward pressure on selling prices decreased but this trend reversed in 2020. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak created uncertainty and a general economic slowdown in Indonesia that impacted consumers' purchasing power and, as a result, translated into lower consumer spending. This accelerated a shift from Telkomsel's legacy business to its data services and generally exacerbated competition among operators, which translated into increased downward pressure on selling prices. This competition is likely to continue, particularly as telecommunications companies are affected by increased competition from Over The Top providers. In 2020, a number of our competitors continued to increase their coverage by expanding outside Java.

For tariffs which are within the scope of the Job Creation Law, variations in selling prices may be limited because the Government may determine upper and lower limits based on public interest and fair business competition principles. Upper limits may be determined in areas where only one telecommunications operator operates. Lower limits may be determined based on the Government's assessment of prevailing market conditions (for instance to prevent unfair business competition). The implementing regulations of such law, however, have yet to be passed.

Our cellular services business, operated through our majority-owned subsidiary Telkomsel, competes primarily with Indosat and XL Axiata. However, we are also facing increased competition from smaller operators that provide cellular services in Indonesia, including PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia ("Hutchison"), which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand and PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk ("Smartfren Telecom"), which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

There has been and we expect there could be further consolidation in our industry in the future. For instance, XL Axiata completed the acquisition of a majority interest in and merged with PT Axis Telekom in 2014, which resulted in XL Axiata acquiring additional frequency allocations to provide 4G/LTE services as well as acquiring the customers of PT Axis Telekom. In December 2020, CK Hutchison and Qatar’s Ooredoo announced they had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding and initiated negotiations for combining their operations in Indonesia, subject to satisfactory completion of such negotiations and meeting certain requirements, including obtaining required regulatory approvals. Furthermore, we believe any merger or consolidation in the industry will help to promote a healthier competition between operators as well as better cost efficiencies and reduce overlapping in many areas.

Additional consolidation among cellular services providers may occur which may be driven by competitive factors as well as efforts to reduce operating costs and obtain wider spectrum allocation. In addition, the Government tends to encourage consolidation, including through the enactment of the Job Creation Law which regulates, among other things, telecommunications clusters, in an effort to promote healthier competition among fewer industry players with a better cost-efficiency profile and wider spectrum allocations.

Consolidation of competitors for cellular services may allow them to expand the geographic coverage of their integrated network infrastructure. In recent years, both Telkomsel and its competitors have acquired wider spectrum allocations as part of the Government's spectrum refarminginitiative. In 2019, we entered into a refarming arrangement with Indosat which was approved by the Government. This has allowed them to improve the quality of their cellular services as well as to expand the amount of traffic that they can service through their network, which may allow them to expand their services and increase revenues. Furthermore, the Job Creation Law allows telecommunications operators to share network infrastructure and capacity on a B2B basis while applicable tariffs will remain determined by the operators and/or will remain based on the tariff formula as set out by the ICT ministry. Details relating to the implementation of such law are still unknown as at the date hereof since the implementing regulations have not been passed yet. See "— We may, in the future, be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors." As the telecommunications operator with the most extensive network infrastructure in Indonesia, if capacity and network sharing pursuant to such regulation were not implemented on a B2B basis and such regulation were to become effective, it would allow our competitors to take advantage of our existing infrastructure without significant capital expenditure, which would have a significant impact on competition.

As a result, any of these developments may present challenges for Telkomsel in maintaining its market position and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may further lose wireline telephone subscribers and revenues derived from our wireline voice services may continue to decline, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects

Revenues derived from our wireline voice services have declined during the past several years mainly due to the increasing popularity of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication. Tariffs for mobile services have declined in recent years which has further accelerated substitution of mobile for wireline voice services. The number of our fixed wireline subscribers decreased by 2.7% in 2020 and revenues from our wireline voice services decreased by 27.2% in 2020. The percentage of revenues derived from our wireline voice services out of our total revenues was 1.6% in 2020.

27


Table of Contents

Since the beginning of 2015, we have taken various steps to stabilize our revenues from wireline voice services by seeking to migrate subscribers to IndiHome, a service which bundles fixed broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating the adverse impact of the substitution of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication for wireline voice services or in reducing the rate of decline in our revenues generated from wireline voice services. Migration from wireline voice services to mobile services and other alternative means of communication may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our wireline voice services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Our data and internet services are facing increasing competition, and we may experience declining margins and/or market share from such services as such competition intensifies

Our data and internet services are facing increased competition from other data and internet operators, including mobile operators. The number of mobile broadband subscribers have increased with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, which adversely affects our market share and revenues from our fixed line data and internet services.

In addition, with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, data and internet services have become an intense area of competition in our industry. We have been taking various measures in order to mitigate the impact of intense competition in our data and internet businesses. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating such adverse impact. Competition may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our data and internet services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality

We expect to continue to offer promotional plans to attract subscribers and increase usage of our network by our cellular subscribers, in particular during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. We also expect to continue to promote our data services and fixed broadband services. While we believe that we have sufficient spectrum allocation to support our current business, we may in the future need to acquire additional spectrum allocation to accommodate future growth in subscribers and traffic. As a result, we may experience increased network congestion, which may affect our network performance and damage our reputation with our subscribers. The Government occasionally conducts auctions for unused spectrum allocation. We seek to secure as much of the available spectrum as we expect is needed for our operations but, as this is a scarce resource and allocations are subject to regulatory factors which may change over time (such as auction rules) and other considerations, such as fair business conduct and fair competition, we cannot guarantee that we will always be in a position to secure spectrum allocations consistent with our expectations or strategic objectives.

Moreover, the increase in smartphone applications that rely on data services has resulted in the significant amount of data traffic and cellular network congestion. To support such additional demands on our network, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to improve our network coverage. Such additional capital expenditures, together with the possible degradation of our cellular services, could materially and adversely affect our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Continuing growth in and the converging nature of wireless and broadband services will require us to deploy increasing amounts of capital and require ongoing access to spectrum in order to provide attractive services to customers

Telecommunications services are undergoing rapid and significant technological changes and a dramatic increase in usage, in particular, the demand for faster and seamless usage of video and data across mobile and fixed devices. We continually invest in our networks in order to improve our wireless and broadband services to meet this increasing demand and remain competitive. Improvements in these services depend on many factors, including continued access to and deployment of adequate spectrum and the capital needed to expand our network to support transport of these services. We must maintain and expand our network capacity and coverage for transport of video, data and voice between cell and fixed landline sites. To this end, we have participated in spectrum auctions, at increasing financial cost, and continue to deploy technology advancements in order to further improve our network. Further, we must pay an annual right of usage fee for the license in case of our winning additional spectrum, such as the additional 30 MHz spectrum at 2.3 GHz frequency we won at an auction in October 2017.

Network service enhancements and product launches may not occur as scheduled or at the cost expected due to many factors, including delays in determining equipment and wireless handset operating standards, supplier delays, increases in network equipment and handset component costs, regulatory permitting delays for tower sites or enhancements, or labor-related delays. Deployment of new technology also may adversely affect the performance of the network for existing services. If we cannot acquire the required spectrum or deploy the services customers desire on a timely basis and at a reasonable price, then our ability to attract and retain customers, and therefore maintain and improve our operating margins, could be materially adversely affected.

Our continued investments in the construction of our infrastructure network may not adequately address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data traffic or otherwise achieve the desired economic returns

We regularly review our network capability, advantage, and capacity availability and continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic.

Our wireless data traffic business has experienced significant growth in recent years, which contributed to the growth of our operating revenue and provides our business with further opportunities for development. The COVID-19 outbreak had an impact on consumption habits with more people working and learning from home, which positively impacted data traffic and shifted traffic from business districts to residential areas. We expect a continued and substantial increase in data traffic not only as a result of changes in consumption habits and consumers' behavior but also as a result of our efforts to make our data services affordable at a time where purchasing power and disposable income have been negatively affected. We launched our 4G/LTE services in 2014 and the substantial increase in data traffic resulting from the growth of our wireless data traffic business, our 4G/LTE business and the proliferation of smartphones had significantly strained the existing capacity of our telecommunications network infrastructure. As a result, based on our anticipation of further significant traffic data growth, we have made and will continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic. However, our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network is subject to various factors, a number of which are not within our control, such as regulations and changes in regulations, changes to the competitive environment or technological developments that could adversely affect our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network as expected or desired and achieve anticipated returns on our investments.

Risks Related to Our Business

Operational Risks

A material failure in the continuing operations of our network, certain key systems, gateways to our network or the networks of other network operators could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We depend to a significant degree on the uninterrupted operation of our network to provide our services. For example, we depend on access to our fixed wireline network for the operation of our fixed line network and the termination and origination of cellular telephone calls to and from fixed line telephones, and a significant portion of our cellular and international long distance call traffic is routed through the PSTN. We also depend on access to an internet and broadband network and a cellular network. Our integrated network includes a copper access network, fiber optic access network, BTSs, switching equipment, optical and radio transmission equipment, an IP Core network, satellites and application servers.

In addition, we also rely on interconnection to the networks of other telecommunications operators to carry calls and data from our subscribers to the subscribers of operators both within Indonesia and overseas. We also depend on certain technologically sophisticated management information systems and other systems, such as our customer billing system, to enable us to conduct our operations. Our network, including our information systems, IT and infrastructure and the networks of other operators with whom our subscribers are interconnected, are vulnerable to damage or interruptions in operation from a variety of sources including earthquake, fire, flood, power loss, equipment failure, network software flaws, transmission cable disruption or similar events. For example, in 2018 and 2019, a number of submarine cables that we rely on to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago were damaged mostly as a result of earthquakes. In 2020, a few submarine cables were damaged due to shunt faults (i.e., existence of a current leakage path between the power conductor and seawater without a break in the power conductor) and cuts. As a result, services in east Indonesia faced slowdowns and disruptions as we had to redirect affected traffic through satellites until the submarine cables could be restored. One of our building in Pekanbaru suffered fire damage in August 2020 and certain of our infrastructures and equipment were damaged by flood in Jakarta, Sulawesi and Kalimantan in 2020, without any such damages causing material interruption to our operations.

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, we cannot guarantee that the implementation of such plans will be completely or partially successful should any portion of our network be severely damaged or interrupted. Any failure that results in an interruption of our operations or of the provision of any service, whether from operational disruption, natural disaster or otherwise, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

We may be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors

Under the Job Creation Law and Government Regulation No. 46 of 2021 on Post, Telecommunication and Broadcasting ("GR No.46/2021"), telecommunication service providers with passive telecommunication infrastructure (e.g., ducts, towers, poles, or communication manholes, among others) has to give access to its passive telecommunication infrastructure to other telecommunication providers. GR No.46/2021 states that such use of passive telecommunication infrastructure must be based on cooperation and mutual agreement between the parties involved in a fair, reasonable and non-discriminative manner.

Further, a telecommunication service provider with active telecommunication and/or broadcasting infrastructure may give access to such active infrastructure to other telecommunication provider as agreed mutually and in furtherance of fair business competition. This may be achieved by leasing of network capacity to other telecommunication providers.

22


Table of Contents

It remains to be seen how these new provisions will affect our business and our relations with other telecommunication players in Indonesia. We cannot assure you that the Government will adopt final terms which we will consider to be commercially reasonable. For example, we cannot assure you that any subsequent or implementing regulations will allow us to charge competitors who lease our network capacity fees at rates which we will consider to be commercially acceptable. If such regulations were to be implemented, it could have a material adverse effect on our revenue, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our operations have been and may continue to be adversely affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) or other epidemics

An outbreak, or the fear of an outbreak of any severe infectious disease such as diseases caused by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), the H5N1 avian flu or the human swine flu (H1N1) or a similar communicable diseases, if uncontrolled, or restrictions or containment measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, could have a material adverse effect on the overall business sentiment in Indonesia and in economies where we carry out our business, on Indonesian and international consumers' confidence and purchasing behavior, and in turn, on demand for our products and services. Most recently, in January 2020, an outbreak of COVID-19 believed to have started in Wuhan, Hubei, China, spread aggressively in multiple countries, including Indonesia, other countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. The World Health Organization (the "WHO") declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a "pandemic" on March 11, 2020. On April 13, 2020, the President of Indonesia issued Presidential Decree No. 12 of 2020 declaring the current COVID-19 pandemic a national disaster. Various measures have been implemented to contain the outbreak in certain regions and countries, resulting in extensive government-imposed restrictions and containment measures, including restrictions on domestic and international travel, restrictions on public gatherings, social distancing, office and school closures, and local or general "stay at home" or quarantine orders. Such measures have resulted in a period of business disruptions, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the world’s population, and a decrease in economic activities in several countries, including Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreak of infectious diseases, similar or more stringent measures could be taken that may further worsen the Indonesian economy and the global economy.

If the current COVID-19 outbreak or other epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases were to develop and persist, customers may delay, suspend or decrease orders for our products and services, and demand for certain of our products and services may decrease. Our distribution network and retail outlets may also experience significant disruption due to physical distancing measures and other containment measures. Our ability to provide services to our clients that require our teams to access their homes or offices may also be negatively impacted. Such disruptions did occur in the year ended December 31, 2020 but did not significantly affect our operations, business and results of operations. Regardless of enhanced hygiene and precautionary measures to safeguard the safety and health of our employees and customers, we could be subject to labor shortages or suspension of work if certain of our personnel, in Indonesia or elsewhere, were to become infected with the disease or restrictions and containment measures described above were to affect their ability to reach our offices and outlets. Our operations may also be significantly and adversely affected if government-imposed restrictions or other containment measures require us to suspend our operations, partially or entirely. Finally, the negative impact of the outbreak on the global economy may increase counterparty risks or increase difficulties in collecting fees, which may negatively impact our cashflows, delay certain of our projects, and reduce our ability to access capital or increase financing costs.

23


Table of Contents

As at the date hereof, the potential economic impact on Indonesia and the global economy brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, subject to change and difficult to estimate or predict. There is no assurance that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia or elsewhere can be effectively controlled, or that another disease outbreak will not happen in the future. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to the full extent of the above-described potential delays and disruptions on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Our networks face both potential physical and cyber security threats, such as theft, vandalism and acts intended to disrupt our operations, which could adversely affect our operating results

Our networks and equipment, particularly our wireline access network, face both potential physical and cyber security threats. Physical threats include theft and vandalism of our equipment and organized attacks against key infrastructure intended to disrupt operations. In addition, telecommunications companies worldwide face increasing cyber security threats as businesses become increasingly dependent on telecommunications and computer networks, and adopt cloud technologies. Cyber security threats include gaining unauthorized access to our systems or inserting computer viruses or malicious software in our systems to misappropriate consumer data and other sensitive information, corrupt our data or disrupt our operations. Unauthorized access may also be gained through traditional means such as the theft of computers, portable data devices or mobile phones and intelligence gathering on employees with access to our systems.

Although we have not experienced any material successful cyberattacks to date that have affected our operations, our network and website are frequently targeted by cyberattacks. For example, in October 2018, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia's ("Telkomsat") corporate website was defaced. The content on the homepage was altered, which left customers unable to access the site for part of one day, before the site was restored. In 2020, we detected 49.44 million cyber threats to our servers. Almost all of those threats were non-disruptive and only 78 of them raised to the level of issues we needed to specifically address, which we did successfully and promptly. In addition, we cannot guarantee that safety procedures we have in place and our intrusion detection systems may always prove efficient against illegal access to our internal data and databases, customers', suppliers and other parties' data hosted on our systems. If we are unable to prevent such attacks or successfully detect such intrusions in a timely manner or at all, such data could be misappropriated and illegally used or disseminated. While none of these cyberattacks have caused significant losses to date, a successful cyberattack may lead us to incur substantial costs to repair damage or restore data, implement substantial organizational changes and training to prevent future similar attacks and lost revenues and litigation costs due to misused sensitive information, liabilities for information loss, breach of confidentiality of private information, and cause substantial reputational damage. Cyberattacks may also cause equipment failures, loss of information, including sensitive information or information stored in our customers' computer systems and mobile phone systems, failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable privacy, security or data protection laws, as well as disruption to our operations or our customers' operations. Furthermore, it might be difficult to calculate the economic costs caused by potential cyber security incidents and maintain sufficient insurance coverage relating to them at commercially reasonable rates and terms. Eliminating computer viruses and other security problems may also require interruptions, delays or suspension of our services, reduce our customer satisfaction and cause us to incur additional costs. Due to the evolving nature of cyber security threats, the scope and impact of any future incident cannot be precisely predicted. We take preventive and remedial measures with respect to our systems, including enhanced cooperation with the police, particularly in areas prone to criminal activity and regular updates of our information system security measures. While we believe that we have taken appropriate measures to protect our network, there is no assurance that these physical and cyber security measures will be successful. Damage to our network, equipment or data and the need to repair such damage resulting from a physical or cyberattack may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

We face a number of risks relating to our internet-related services

In addition to cyber security threats, since we provide connections to the internet and host websites for customers and develop internet content and applications, we may be perceived as being associated with the content carried over our network or displayed on websites that we host. For example, in the past, due to an escalation in spam messages generated from email addresses on the Telkom network, Telkom was placed on certain DNS blacklists which blocked all email generated from Telkom addresses for almost a week until remedial measures could be put into place. This did not occur in 2020 as anti-spam tools already deployed into our systems significantly mitigated the effect of cyberattacks on our systems.

24


Table of Contents

While we have made certain administrative and technical adjustments to identify and combat spam, we cannot assure you that such measures will always be effective and that we would not be placed on certain DNS blacklists again in the future. In addition, the content carried over our network or the websites that we host may contain materials or information which may be illegal, defamatory, impermissible or infringe on third party copyrights. We cannot and do not screen all of this content and may face litigation claims due to a perceived association with such content. These types of claims can be costly to defend, divert management resources and attention, and may damage our reputation.

A revenue leakage might occur due to internal weaknesses or external factors and if this risk were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results

We may face revenue leakage or problems with collecting all the revenues to which we may be entitled, due to the possibility of inaccurate billing, delays in transaction processing, dishonest customers or other factors. Further, our services might be susceptible to piracy and unauthorized usage. Such piracy and unauthorized usage may lead to a loss of revenue for our Group which may affect our financial conditions and results of operations. For example, in recent years the use of simboxes, which are electronic boxes that use cell phone antennae or a BTS on which local operator SIM cards are installed so that international calls can be fraudulently terminated through local numbers so that the fraudster can bypass interconnection rates in the destination country, have led to a loss of revenue for our Group.

We have taken certain preventive measures to mitigate the possibility of revenue leakage by increasing control functions in all of our existing business processes, increasing cooperation and information sharing between operational units to detect potential fraud, implementing revenue assurance methods, employing adequate policies and procedures as well as implementing information systems applications to minimize revenue leakages. Nonetheless, there is no assurance that in the future there will be no significant revenue leakages or that any such leakages will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

New technologies may adversely affect our ability to remain competitive

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. We may face increasing competition due to technologies under development or which may be developed in the future. Future development or application of new or alternative technologies, services or standards could require significant changes to our business model, the development of new products, the provision of additional services and substantial new investments by us. New products and services may be expensive to develop and may result in the introduction of additional competitors into the marketplace. We cannot accurately predict how emerging and future technological changes will affect our operations or the competitiveness of our services. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively integrate new technologies into our existing business model.

One of the main challenges faced by the telecommunications industry in Indonesia is the increasing use of Over The Top services that has become a substitute for voice and SMS services, in line with the growing number of smartphone users. In particular, the percentage contribution from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenues has declined from 26.3% for 2018 to 14.2% for 2020. This has happened not only in Indonesia, but also in developed countries where smartphone penetration is high. In addition, we face a continuing risk of market entry by new operators and service providers (including non-telecommunications players and Over The Top players) who, by using newer or lower cost technologies, may succeed in rapidly attracting customers away from established market participants such as ourselves. This may result in a loss of market share and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services entry barriers being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. For example, the increased availability of high-throughput satellite capacity in Indonesia has increased competition, and adversely affected pricing, for our satellite business.

We cannot assure you that our technologies will not become obsolete, or be subjected to competition from new technologies in the future, or that we will be able to acquire new technologies necessary to compete in changed circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. Our failure to react to rapid technological changes could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Expected benefits from investment in new networks and technologies may not be realized

We may pursue new growth opportunities in the communications industry in the future, including introducing services and products employing new technologies, such as next generation mobile technologies, 5G, virtualization, software-defined networking, cloud based technologies, new video and content delivery platforms and digital marketing. The implementation of these new technologies depends on a number of factors, including developing our network and the launch of new and commercially viable products and services involving these technologies. We may have to incur substantial expenditure to develop our network, services and products and to gain access to related or enabling technologies in order to successfully implement these new technologies. We may not be successful in modifying our network infrastructure in a timely and cost-effective manner to facilitate such implementation, which could adversely affect our quality of service, financial condition and results of operations.

Further, we may face the risk of unforeseen complications in the deployment of new technologies. Any newly adopted technology may not perform as expected, and we may not be able to successfully or on a timely basis to develop the new technology to effectively and economically deliver services based on such technology.

Our satellites have limited operational life and they may be damaged or destroyed during in-orbit operation or suffer launch delays or failures. The loss or reduced performance of a satellite, whether caused by equipment failure or its license being revoked, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to provide certain services

We operate three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and the Merah Putih Satellite. These satellites have limited operational lives, and their design lives ended or will end approximately in 2020, 2032 and 2033, respectively. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life can be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. A number of factors affect the operational lives of satellites, including the quality of their construction, the durability of their systems, sub-systems and component parts, on-board fuel reserves, accuracy of their launch into orbit, exposure to micrometeorite storms, or other natural events in space, collision with orbital debris, or the manner in which the satellite is monitored and operated. We use satellite transponder capacity on our satellites in connection with many aspects of our business, including direct leasing of such capacity and routing for our international long distance and cellular services.

International Telecommunication Union regulations specify that a designated satellite orbital slot has been allocated for Indonesia and the Government has the right to determine which party is licensed to use such slot. While we hold a license to use the designated satellite orbital slot, in the event any of our satellites experience technical problems or failure, the Government may determine that we have failed to optimize the existing slot under our license, which may result in the Government withdrawing our license. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain use of the designated satellite orbital slot in a manner deemed satisfactory by the Government.

Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular Telecommunications Business

Competition from existing cellular service providers may adversely affect our cellular services business

The Indonesian cellular service business is highly competitive. Competition among cellular service providers in Indonesia is based on various factors, including pricing, network quality and coverage, the range of services, features offered and customer service. With the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, we believe that data network quality and coverage, including 4G/LTE coverage, will increasingly become an intense area of competition. In recent years, competitors have offered promotions such as bonus data packages in order to attract customers, which has generally made the pricing environment in Indonesia less profitable. In 2019, the intensity of downward pressure on selling prices decreased but this trend reversed in 2020. Since early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak created uncertainty and a general economic slowdown in Indonesia that impacted consumers' purchasing power and, as a result, translated into lower consumer spending. This accelerated a shift from Telkomsel's legacy business to its data services and generally exacerbated competition among operators, which translated into increased downward pressure on selling prices. This competition is likely to continue, particularly as telecommunications companies are affected by increased competition from Over The Top providers. In 2020, a number of our competitors continued to increase their coverage by expanding outside Java.

For tariffs which are within the scope of the Job Creation Law, variations in selling prices may be limited because the Government may determine upper and lower limits based on public interest and fair business competition principles. Upper limits may be determined in areas where only one telecommunications operator operates. Lower limits may be determined based on the Government's assessment of prevailing market conditions (for instance to prevent unfair business competition). The implementing regulations of such law, however, have yet to be passed.

Our cellular services business, operated through our majority-owned subsidiary Telkomsel, competes primarily with Indosat and XL Axiata. However, we are also facing increased competition from smaller operators that provide cellular services in Indonesia, including PT Hutchison 3 Indonesia ("Hutchison"), which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand and PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk ("Smartfren Telecom"), which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

There has been and we expect there could be further consolidation in our industry in the future. For instance, XL Axiata completed the acquisition of a majority interest in and merged with PT Axis Telekom in 2014, which resulted in XL Axiata acquiring additional frequency allocations to provide 4G/LTE services as well as acquiring the customers of PT Axis Telekom. In December 2020, CK Hutchison and Qatar’s Ooredoo announced they had entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding and initiated negotiations for combining their operations in Indonesia, subject to satisfactory completion of such negotiations and meeting certain requirements, including obtaining required regulatory approvals. Furthermore, we believe any merger or consolidation in the industry will help to promote a healthier competition between operators as well as better cost efficiencies and reduce overlapping in many areas.

Additional consolidation among cellular services providers may occur which may be driven by competitive factors as well as efforts to reduce operating costs and obtain wider spectrum allocation. In addition, the Government tends to encourage consolidation, including through the enactment of the Job Creation Law which regulates, among other things, telecommunications clusters, in an effort to promote healthier competition among fewer industry players with a better cost-efficiency profile and wider spectrum allocations.

Consolidation of competitors for cellular services may allow them to expand the geographic coverage of their integrated network infrastructure. In recent years, both Telkomsel and its competitors have acquired wider spectrum allocations as part of the Government's spectrum refarminginitiative. In 2019, we entered into a refarming arrangement with Indosat which was approved by the Government. This has allowed them to improve the quality of their cellular services as well as to expand the amount of traffic that they can service through their network, which may allow them to expand their services and increase revenues. Furthermore, the Job Creation Law allows telecommunications operators to share network infrastructure and capacity on a B2B basis while applicable tariffs will remain determined by the operators and/or will remain based on the tariff formula as set out by the ICT ministry. Details relating to the implementation of such law are still unknown as at the date hereof since the implementing regulations have not been passed yet. See "— We may, in the future, be required to share our network infrastructure and capacity with our competitors." As the telecommunications operator with the most extensive network infrastructure in Indonesia, if capacity and network sharing pursuant to such regulation were not implemented on a B2B basis and such regulation were to become effective, it would allow our competitors to take advantage of our existing infrastructure without significant capital expenditure, which would have a significant impact on competition.

As a result, any of these developments may present challenges for Telkomsel in maintaining its market position and could adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may further lose wireline telephone subscribers and revenues derived from our wireline voice services may continue to decline, which may materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects

Revenues derived from our wireline voice services have declined during the past several years mainly due to the increasing popularity of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication. Tariffs for mobile services have declined in recent years which has further accelerated substitution of mobile for wireline voice services. The number of our fixed wireline subscribers decreased by 2.7% in 2020 and revenues from our wireline voice services decreased by 27.2% in 2020. The percentage of revenues derived from our wireline voice services out of our total revenues was 1.6% in 2020.

Table of Contents

Since the beginning of 2015, we have taken various steps to stabilize our revenues from wireline voice services by seeking to migrate subscribers to IndiHome, a service which bundles fixed broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating the adverse impact of the substitution of mobile voice services and other alternative means of communication for wireline voice services or in reducing the rate of decline in our revenues generated from wireline voice services. Migration from wireline voice services to mobile services and other alternative means of communication may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our wireline voice services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Our data and internet services are facing increasing competition, and we may experience declining margins and/or market share from such services as such competition intensifies

Our data and internet services are facing increased competition from other data and internet operators, including mobile operators. The number of mobile broadband subscribers have increased with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, which adversely affects our market share and revenues from our fixed line data and internet services.

In addition, with the increasing popularity of smart phones in Indonesia, data and internet services have become an intense area of competition in our industry. We have been taking various measures in order to mitigate the impact of intense competition in our data and internet businesses. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in mitigating such adverse impact. Competition may further intensify in the future, which may affect the financial performance of our data and internet services and thus materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects as a whole.

Cellular network congestion and limited spectrum availability could limit our cellular subscriber growth and cause reductions in our cellular service quality

We expect to continue to offer promotional plans to attract subscribers and increase usage of our network by our cellular subscribers, in particular during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak. We also expect to continue to promote our data services and fixed broadband services. While we believe that we have sufficient spectrum allocation to support our current business, we may in the future need to acquire additional spectrum allocation to accommodate future growth in subscribers and traffic. As a result, we may experience increased network congestion, which may affect our network performance and damage our reputation with our subscribers. The Government occasionally conducts auctions for unused spectrum allocation. We seek to secure as much of the available spectrum as we expect is needed for our operations but, as this is a scarce resource and allocations are subject to regulatory factors which may change over time (such as auction rules) and other considerations, such as fair business conduct and fair competition, we cannot guarantee that we will always be in a position to secure spectrum allocations consistent with our expectations or strategic objectives.

Moreover, the increase in smartphone applications that rely on data services has resulted in the significant amount of data traffic and cellular network congestion. To support such additional demands on our network, we may be required to make significant capital expenditures to improve our network coverage. Such additional capital expenditures, together with the possible degradation of our cellular services, could materially and adversely affect our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Continuing growth in and the converging nature of wireless and broadband services will require us to deploy increasing amounts of capital and require ongoing access to spectrum in order to provide attractive services to customers

Telecommunications services are undergoing rapid and significant technological changes and a dramatic increase in usage, in particular, the demand for faster and seamless usage of video and data across mobile and fixed devices. We continually invest in our networks in order to improve our wireless and broadband services to meet this increasing demand and remain competitive. Improvements in these services depend on many factors, including continued access to and deployment of adequate spectrum and the capital needed to expand our network to support transport of these services. We must maintain and expand our network capacity and coverage for transport of video, data and voice between cell and fixed landline sites. To this end, we have participated in spectrum auctions, at increasing financial cost, and continue to deploy technology advancements in order to further improve our network. Further, we must pay an annual right of usage fee for the license in case of our winning additional spectrum, such as the additional 30 MHz spectrum at 2.3 GHz frequency we won at an auction in October 2017.

Network service enhancements and product launches may not occur as scheduled or at the cost expected due to many factors, including delays in determining equipment and wireless handset operating standards, supplier delays, increases in network equipment and handset component costs, regulatory permitting delays for tower sites or enhancements, or labor-related delays. Deployment of new technology also may adversely affect the performance of the network for existing services. If we cannot acquire the required spectrum or deploy the services customers desire on a timely basis and at a reasonable price, then our ability to attract and retain customers, and therefore maintain and improve our operating margins, could be materially adversely affected.

Our continued investments in the construction of our infrastructure network may not adequately address the issues resulting from the substantial increases in data traffic or otherwise achieve the desired economic returns

We regularly review our network capability, advantage, and capacity availability and continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic.

Our wireless data traffic business has experienced significant growth in recent years, which contributed to the growth of our operating revenue and provides our business with further opportunities for development. The COVID-19 outbreak had an impact on consumption habits with more people working and learning from home, which positively impacted data traffic and shifted traffic from business districts to residential areas. We expect a continued and substantial increase in data traffic not only as a result of changes in consumption habits and consumers' behavior but also as a result of our efforts to make our data services affordable at a time where purchasing power and disposable income have been negatively affected. We launched our 4G/LTE services in 2014 and the substantial increase in data traffic resulting from the growth of our wireless data traffic business, our 4G/LTE business and the proliferation of smartphones had significantly strained the existing capacity of our telecommunications network infrastructure. As a result, based on our anticipation of further significant traffic data growth, we have made and will continue to make substantial investments in the construction of our infrastructure network, including our 4G/LTE infrastructure, to carry the increasing data traffic. However, our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network is subject to various factors, a number of which are not within our control, such as regulations and changes in regulations, changes to the competitive environment or technological developments that could adversely affect our ability to improve or expand our infrastructure network as expected or desired and achieve anticipated returns on our investments.

We are subject to the control of the Government

The Government, through the MSOE, owns 52.09% of our issued share capital. Consequently, the Government effectively controls the outcome of matters requiring the vote of our shareholders, including the composition of our boards of Directors and Commissioners, and determining the timing and amount of dividend payments. The Government has historically influenced, and is likely to continue to influence, our strategy and operations. In addition, the Government owns a Dwiwarna Share in our Company which gives the Government, represented by the MSOE, certain rights such as the right to veto with regards to the nomination, appointment and removal of our Directors and Commissioners, the issuance of new shares and any amendments to our Articles of Association. The rights of the Government attached to this Dwiwarna Share limit the ability of public shareholders to influence certain matters relating to our Company. Under our Articles of Association, the Government cannot transfer the Dwiwarna Share. The Government's rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not terminate unless our articles of association are amended, which would require the approval of the Government as holder of the Dwiwarna Share. See "Relationship with the Government and Government Agencies — The Government as Shareholder."

There can be no assurance that the Government will exercise its control and influence to our benefit. For example, the Government may request us to enter into transactions which are not in our best interests. In addition, there can also be no assurance that we will ever become independent of our Government shareholder or even if we do become independent, that we will be able to exercise any such independence effectively in making decisions concerning our business and prospects, including decisions concerning compensation from the Government when we act in the public interest. If we agree to act in the public interest and are not adequately compensated by the Government, our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity and result of operations may be materially and adversely affected, which would limit our ability to compete effectively and expand our business.

Financial Risks

We are exposed to interest rate risk and risks inherent to potential changes in relevant benchmarks and indices, including changes to the administration of certain benchmarks or their future discontinuation, such as the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021

Our debt includes bank borrowings used to finance our operations. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we aim to balance the share of our fixed rate loans and floating rate loans in our bank borrowings. We try to achieve this where there are opportunities to increase the share of fixed-rate loans in our overall loan portfolio in light of prevailing interest rates available in the market at any given time and based on market and our expectations as to future floating and fixed interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 58.7% (based on the aggregate then outstanding principal) of our total bank borrowings were floating-rate loans.

Changes in the macro-economic environment worldwide due to on-going trade disputes between the United States and China and the COVID-19 outbreak also had an impact on Southeast Asia and Indonesia. In an effort to support the Indonesian Rupiah and the Indonesian economy, Bank Indonesia decreased its benchmark interest rate five times in 2020 to 3.75%.

Moreover, reference rates and indices, including interest rate benchmarks (such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"), or the Jakarta Interbank Offered Rate ("JIBOR")), which are used to determine the amounts payable under financial instruments or the value of such financial instruments ("Benchmarks"), have, in recent years, been the subject of political and regulatory scrutiny as to how they are created and operated. This has resulted, particularly in the United Kingdom, in regulatory reform and changes to existing Benchmarks, with further changes anticipated. This could increase the costs and risks of complying with any such regulations or requirements.

Table of Contents

For example, LIBOR has been questioned as a result of the absence of relevant active underlying markets and possible disincentives for market participants to continue contributing to such benchmarks. On July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it does not intend to continue to persuade, or use its powers to compel, panel banks to submit rates for the calculation of the LIBOR benchmark to the administrator of LIBOR after 2021 (the "FCA Announcement"). The FCA Announcement indicated that the continuation of LIBOR on the current basis cannot and will not be guaranteed after 2021. Subsequent speeches by FCA officials have emphasized that market participants should not rely on the continued publication of LIBOR after 2021. Furthermore, on December 4, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration (IBA) published a consultation on its intention to cease the publication of LIBOR. Based on feedback and information received from LIBOR panel banks, and following discussions with the FCA and other official sector bodies, IBA made announcements on November 18, 2020, and November 30, 2020, that it would consult on its intention to cease certain LIBOR publications on specific dates, subject to any rights of the FCA to compel IBA to continue publication.

Following the implementation of any such changes, reforms or potential reforms, the manner of administration of LIBOR, EURIBOR or other benchmark indices such as JIBOR may change, with the result that it may perform differently than in the past or benchmarks could be eliminated entirely. Any of the above changes or any other consequential changes as a result of international or national reforms or other initiatives or investigations could have an adverse effect on the interest paid on our floating-rate loans that are linked to, reference or otherwise are dependent (in whole or in part) upon a benchmark. As of December 31, 2020, however, the aggregate outstanding amount of our floating rate loans that use LIBOR or EURIBOR as reference rates was insignificant. Nonetheless, the uncertainty as to whether LIBOR will survive in its current form or at all may lead to adverse market conditions, which may have an adverse effect on access to liquidity and debt refinancing in the future.

We may be unable to fund the capital expenditures needed for us to remain competitive in the telecommunications industry in Indonesia

The delivery of telecommunications services is capital intensive. In order to be competitive, we must continually expand, modernize and update our telecommunications infrastructure technology, which involves substantial capital investment. For the years ended December 31, 2018, 2019 and 2020, our consolidated capital expenditures totaled Rp33,620 billion, Rp36,485 billion and Rp29,279 billion (US$2,084 million), respectively. We expect the decrease in our capital expenditure in 2020 to be temporary as such decrease did not reflect a decrease in our funding capacity, but rather the impact of practical and operational difficulties relating to the deployment of such expenditures in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented in Indonesia, as well as weaker growth in demand from IndiHome subscribers since the number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 1.0 million in 2020 compared with a 1.9 million increase in 2019. Our ability to fund capital expenditures in the future will depend on our future operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic conditions, levels of interest rates and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, and upon our ability to obtain additional external financing. Even if we have not experienced any difficulties in securing loan facilities and we expect our current credit profile would allow us to secure new loan facilities as necessary, we cannot assure you that additional financing will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, or at all, in the future. In addition, we can only incur additional financing in compliance with the terms of our debt agreements. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient capital resources to improve or expand our telecommunications infrastructure technology or update our other technologies to the extent necessary to remain competitive in the Indonesian telecommunications market. Our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Legal and Compliance Risks

If we are found liable for anti-competitive practices, we may be subjected to substantial liability which could have an adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

We are subject to laws and regulations relating to anti-competitive practices and anti-monopoly. Law No.5 of 1999 on Prohibition of Monopolistic Practice and Unfair Business Competition (the "Business Competition Law") prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

In 2016, our Company, Telkomsel, and five other local operators were found to have violated the Business Competition Law for price-fixing practices related to SMS services. We and Telkomsel have paid penalties to the treasury fund in the amount of Rp18 billion and Rp25 billion, respectively.

In 2017, it was alleged that we had violated the Business Competition Law by selling our bundling program which is marketed under the retail brand "IndiHome." This product allows customers to choose one or more of our services, which consist primarily of broadband internet, fixed wireline phone and interactive TV services, at a competitive price. Although KPPU held that we did not violate the provisions in the Business Competition Law, the case highlights the risk that our business strategy could be challenged by our customers or regulators.

In November 2018, we received a summons from the KPPU regarding unspecified allegations of violations of Business Competition Law. We are in the process of gathering information for further discussion with KPPU, but we have not received any information on the exact subject matter of or reason for such investigation. Our policy is to collaborate fully with KPPU and their investigation. Based on communication with KPPU, we do not expect KPPU to further investigate such allegations and, as at the date hereof, we are expecting a formal written confirmation from them that such process has been terminated.

In November 2019, we received a summons from the KPPU regarding alleged violations of the Business Competition Law relating to Telkom and Telkomsel's policy on blocking access to Netflix. Telkom has provided information in response to the investigation conducted by the KPPU and conveyed that Telkom found itself obliged to take such temporary measures to protect consumers from potential losses (e.g. despite the subscription payment, consumers are exposed to potential risk of not being able to enjoy Netflix's services if Netflix, and/or access from Indonesia to all or part of the contents they provide is banned by the Government, and also, the content Netflix provides may not be suitable for Indonesian viewers) as Telkom considers that as at the date hereof, Netflix has not yet fully complied with Indonesian regulations regarding media content, especially in relation to censorship laws. In 2020, Telkom has responded to KPPU's requests relating to its investigation into this matter. The investigation was extended to address alleged discriminatory behavior of Telkom acting as an Internet Access Provider. On April 29, 2021, KPPU concluded those proceedings when it ruled that it had not been established that either Telkom or Telkomsel had violated the Business Competition Law as previously alleged. This decision is final.

In November 2019, we also received a summons from the KPPU regarding alleged violations of the Business Competition Law relating to Telkom's Internet Protocol Transit Business in Papua. In December 2019, we provided clarifications regarding this matter as requested by the KPPU. We received a second summons from the KPPU in August 2020 that we responded to on August 7, 2020.

We cannot assure you that any new or existing governmental regulators will not, in the future, find our business practices to have an anti-competitive effect, nor can we assure you that we will not be found to have violated the relevant laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly in the future. If we are found to have violated any laws and regulations relating to anti-competition and anti-monopoly, we may be subjected to substantial liability such as payments of fines, the amount of which will be subject to the discretion of the courts, which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Regulatory Risks

We operate in a legal and regulatory environment that is undergoing significant change. These changes may result in increased competition, which may result in reduced margins and operating revenue, among other things. These changes may also directly reduce our margins or reduce the costs of our competitors. These adverse changes resulting from regulation may have a material adverse effect on us

Reform of Indonesian telecommunications regulations initiated by the Government in 1999 have, to a certain extent, resulted in the industry's liberalization, including removal of barriers to entry and the promotion of competition. However, in recent years, the volume and complexity of regulatory changes has created an environment of considerable regulatory uncertainty. In addition, as the legal and regulatory environment of the Indonesian telecommunications sector continue to change, competitors, potentially with greater resources than us, may enter the Indonesian telecommunications sector and compete with us in providing telecommunications services. Furthermore, it is impossible to anticipate the regulatory policies that will be applied to new technologies.

We derive substantial revenue from interconnection services because we have the largest network in Indonesia and our competitors must pay tariffs to connect to our network. As regulated by the MoCI, although SMS interconnection rates increased from Rp23 to Rp24, as a result of ITRB No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 effective April 2014, through December 31, 2015, SMS interconnection rates have been decreasing in recent years and may decrease again in the future. As a result, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease in the future if SMS interconnection rates, as regulated by the MoCI, continue to decrease.

The Government has announced its plan (and has already circulated a white paper) to gradually shift the existing interconnection services regime to be IP-based. It is expected that, in 2025, all interconnection services will be IP-based and existing interconnection services (e.g., SMS) would only be part of the value added service. As of the date hereof, amendments to MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 are being prepared to accommodate IP-based interconnection services during a transition period to allow operators able to use such technology to do so. If this governmental initiative materializes, we may need to significantly change our existing infrastructure (which our competitors rely on in carrying out conventional interconnection services and pay tariffs to us) with the new technologies. Consequently, our revenue from interconnection services may decrease, and we may need to reserve costs to procure new infrastructures.

In the future, the Government may announce or implement other regulatory changes which may adversely affect our business or our existing licenses. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with other domestic or foreign telecommunications operators, that regulatory changes will not disproportionately reduce our competitors' costs or disproportionately reduce our revenues, or that regulatory changes, amendments or interpretations of current or future laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

In addition to Indonesian laws and regulations, due to the nature of our business and the services we provide, we may be subject to the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions where we operate or have customers. In particular, regulators in various jurisdictions are increasingly scrutinizing how companies collect, process, use and analyze, store, share and transmit personal data. This increased scrutiny may result in new interpretations of existing laws, thereby further impacting our business. Recent regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), which went into effect in the European Union ("EU") on May 25, 2018, apply to the collection, use, retention, security, processing, and transfer of personally identifiable information of residents of certain countries, such as EU member states in the case of the GDPR. The GDPR created a range of new compliance obligations, and imposes significant fines and sanctions for violations. In Indonesia, the draft data protection bill, which has adopted the contents of the GDPR, has been submitted to the House of Representatives of Indonesia (Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat or "DPR") in February 2020 and, as at the date hereof, is still being discussed with the Government. As a result, there is still uncertainty as to the scope of the data protection bill, including the scope and nature of exemptions from the rights of personal data owners where such data are aggregated for various purposes, such as statistical and scientific research, which could negatively impact the development of big data applications and businesses in Indonesia until such matters are settled.

Table of Contents

Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any applicable regulatory requirements or orders, including but not limited to privacy, data protection, information security, or consumer protection related privacy laws and regulations, could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or individuals, subject us to fines, penalties, and/or judgments, or otherwise adversely affect our business, as our reputation could be negatively impacted.

Regulatory changes may adversely affect our business and results of operations

We operate in a regulated environment, and our telecommunications operations are mainly regulated by the MoCI. We are also required to comply with applicable information and technology, and consumer data protection laws and regulations in carrying out our activities. Future regulatory changes, particularly with respect to telecommunications network, telecommunications services, and data protection may generate incremental costs and delays, thereby adversely affecting our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, licenses obtained by us under applicable Indonesian laws and regulations may be subject to conditions, compliance with which may be expensive, difficult or impossible. It is possible that governmental authorities could take enforcement actions against us for our failure to comply with such regulations, including the aforementioned conditions. These enforcement actions could result, among other things, in the imposition of fines or the revocation of our licenses. Compliance with such regulations could require us to make substantial capital expenditures and consequently divert funds from our planned construction projects. We could also experience delays in our business schedules as a result of such compliance efforts. Each of the above could adversely affect our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Applicable regulations on tariffs and their implementation as supervised by the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority ("ITRA") may affect our revenues and earnings

The Government does not set a fixed amount or specified range of tariff that must be charged by telecommunications operators to their customers. However, the Government does set out formulas that telecommunications operators like us must refer to in determining the tariff for their services. MoCI Regulation No.15/PER/M.KOMINFO/4/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Basic Telephone Service Distributed through Fixed Line ("MoCI Regulation No.15/2008") and MoCI Regulation No.09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008 on Guidelines for Tariff Determination on Telecommunication Service Distributed through Mobile Cellular Network ("MoCI Regulation No.09/2008") are the applicable regulations for tariff calculation and determination relating to basic telephony and cellular services. Tariff formulation for our internet telephony services for retail customers is subject to MoCI Regulation No.8 of 2017 on Provision of Internet Telephony Service for Public ("MoCI Regulation No.8/2017"). In October 2019, MoCI issued new regulation MoCI Regulation No.13 of 2019 on Provision of Telecommunication Services ("MoCI Regulation No.13/2019") that was expected to revoke and replace MoCI Regulation No.8/2017 from April 25, 2020. MoCI Regulation No.2/2020 ("MoCI Regulation No.2/2020") amended MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 which postponed the effectiveness of MoCI Regulation No.13 of 2019 to January 31, 2021.

Neither MoCI Regulation No.8/2017 nor MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 discuss at length the formula that we must apply in determining tariff for internet telephony services as a telecommunications operator. While MoCI Regulation 13/2019 requires operators to follow the relevant MoCI guidelines, as of the date hereof, MoCI has not yet published such guidelines. MoCI Regulation No. 8/2017 requires operators to determine the internet telephony services tariff following a cost-based calculation in a manner that (i) accounts for investments in the telecommunications network, (ii) accounts for investments in infrastructure relating to internet telephony services, and (iii) ensures the tariff for internet telephony services corresponds to the applicable tariff for basic telephony services. We understand that, pending publication of the expected MoCI guidelines on the tariff for internet telephony services for retail customers in accordance with MoCI Regulation No.13/2019, operators are expected to follow the existing tariff determination process based on MoCI Regulation No.8/2017.

Table of Contents

The formulas set out in MoCI Regulation No.15/2008 and MoCI Regulation No.09/2008comprise numerous variables, such as cost of capital, cost of equity, cost of debt, annuity factor, traffic data and fee cost. These variables are accounted for based on, among other things, our annual financial reports and statements. Although this may seem to give us flexibility in tariff formulation, the Government is still authorized to supervise the implementation of tariff formulation through (i) the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Authority ("ITRA"), for basic telephony and cellular services, and (ii) Directorate General on Post and Informatics ("DGPI"), for internet telephony services for the public. Based on its supervision, ITRA may take further action as it sees fit if any of our actions is deemed to potentially disrupt fair competition in the telecommunications market. Our promotional tariff must be carefully planned and calculated to avoid any possible "predatory pricing" claim, as the Government does not fix an amount for the lowest tariff that we may charge to our customers.

If we violate the tariff formulation as governed under these tariff regulations, we will be subject to fines (relating to MoCI Regulation No.15/2008) and examination by ITRA (relating to MoCI Regulation No.09/2008). Both regulations allow the public to participate in the supervision process by submitting complaints, e.g. regarding unfavorable fees charged by us. Meanwhile, the lack of clarity and MoCI Regulation 09/2008 with respect to non-compliance with the applicable internet telephony services tariff could lead to unpredictable action that may be taken by DGPI. We cannot assure you that there will be no actions taken by either ITRA or DGPI against us or complaints alleged by our customers against us. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. As the Government dissolved ITRA in 2020 in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 112 of 2020, ITRA's former duties and functions are now assumed by the MoCI.

Regulations for the configuration of BTS towers may delay the installation of new BTS towers or changes in the placement of existing towers, and may erode our leadership position by requiring us to share our towers with our competitors

In 2008, MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No. 02/PER/M.KOMINFO/3/2008 relating to the construction, utilization and sharing of BTS towers ("MoCI Regulation No.02/2008"). In 2009, MoCI (jointly with the Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Public Works and Head of Investment Coordinating Board) issued a joint regulation ("Joint Ministries Regulation") that supplemented MoCI Regulation No.02/2008. The purpose of this new regulation was essentially to harmonize central, local and sectoral administrative procedures and functions for granting BTS tower construction permits. MoCI Regulation No.02/2008 was revoked in 2018. As of the date hereof, the relevant regulations governing the construction of BTS towers are the Joint Ministries Regulation and the Omnibus Law.

Based on the Joint Ministries Regulation, the construction of BTS towers requires permits from the local government. This may adversely affect us in the allocation, development or expansion plan of our new BTS towers as setting up of our new towers will become more complicated. We may be prohibited from setting up new BTS towers in certain local areas thereby restricting our expansion as well.It may also adversely affect our existing BTS towers if local governments require any changes in the placement of the existing towers. For instance, in the Jakarta area, the Governor of Jakarta, by virtue of Governor Regulation No.106 of 2019 on Guideline on the Provision of Utility Network Infrastructures, requires established utility networks (such as telecommunications cable networks) to be relocated underground where Government-owned facilities that are in compliance with the Jakarta's planning masterplan can be used and leased by operators who have obtained the relevant governmental permit. Such relocation must be completed within 12 months from the date such governmental facilities are made available to operators, subject to exemptions that may be granted by the Government. As of the date hereof, the Government's underground facilities have been made available to operators in certain areas following the Government's gradual implementation of its relocation plan for utility networks in the Jakarta area.Operators who do not comply with this new requirement could be subject to sanctions (such as written warnings, forced cable cutting or pole/infrastructure retraction). A governmental initiative is only being implemented in Jakarta and Surabaya but it could be expanded to other cities by local governments, which could adversely impact our tower business. Most operators object to the high lease tariffs that are being introduced by the local governments in both Jakarta and Surabaya. As a result, the local governments are still discussing this issue with all stakeholders and evaluating the tariffs taking into account the potential impact they may have on end-consumers. Although we have been communicating with the local governments, the extent of financial exposure and the concrete implementation of this initiative remain unclear. However, we believe that the Government will likely proceed with the 12-month transition period in accordance with the regulation.

In addition, this regulation requires us to allow other telecommunications operators to lease space on and utilize our telecommunications towers in a manner that provides equal opportunity to and without any discrimination among such other telecommunications operators. This allows our competitors to expand their networks by leasing space on and utilizing our telecommunications towers without having to expend capital expenditures to build their own telecommunications towers. As a result, our competitors may be able to expand their network quickly and grow their business quickly, particularly in urban areas where new space for additional towers may be difficult to obtain. As at the date hereof, no implementing regulations have been passed in connection with the Job Creation Law regarding the telecommunications sector. As a result, it is still premature to assess risks that may materialize as a result of such law. If our wholly-owned subsidiary PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi ("Mitratel") is subject to network sharing requirements in relation to the deployment of 5G technology, depending how such requirements (if any), are implemented, or if more than one operator obtains 5G licenses, this could reduce the potential for collocation, the availability of sites for building new BTS towers in certain areas. In addition, any requirement imposing the retrofitting of existing BTS towers to allow more than one operator to use them could create additional costs.

In order to operate our telecommunications towers, Indonesian regulations allow local governments to impose three types of fees (property tax (Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan/PBB), fees charged in connection with building permits (Ijin Mendirikan Bangunan) and the telecommunication tower control fees) fees which are determined on a cost basis subject to a formula provided by the MoF and the location of the telecommunications towers. While local governments that have begun to impose such fees have not charged material amounts as at the date hereof, we cannot assure you that such fees will not be material in the future. In addition, we cannot assure you that there will be no material difference in the amount of fees that we would be liable to pay to the relevant local governments. If these risks were to materialize, it could have an adverse effect on our operating results.

We may experience local community opposition to some of our tower sites

We have experienced, and may in the future experience, local community opposition to our existing sites or the construction of new tower sites for various reasons, including aesthetic and alleged health concerns. As a result of such opposition, we could be required by the local authorities to dismantle and relocate certain towers. Opposition to the construction of new towers could also cause delays in the availability and completion of new towers. In extreme cases, vandalism could result in damaged equipment.

If we are required to relocate a material number of our towers and cannot locate replacement sites that are acceptable to our customers, or production delays or damages to equipment occur, it could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

We are subject to numerous non-tax state revenue payments and a Universal Service Obligation Contribution ("USO Contribution")

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations authorizing the Government to collect non-tax state revenue from us. Pursuant to Government Regulation No.80 of 2015 on Applicable Types and Tariff on Non-Tax State Revenue for MoCI ("GR No.80/2015"), the Government's non-tax revenue may be derived from, among other things, tests for telecommunications devices, telecommunications operations and use of radio frequency spectrum. MoCI Regulation No.17 of 2016 on Tariff Implementation Guidelines on Non-Tax State Revenue Collected from Telecommunication Operation Rights Fee (Biaya Hak Penyelenggaraan, or "BHP") and USO Contribution, as amended by MoCI Regulation No.19 of 2016 ("MoCI Regulation No.19/2016") specifies that every licensed telecommunications operator must pay the Telecommunication BHP and USO Contribution. Government Regulation No.53 of 2000 on Use of Radio Frequency Spectrum and Satellite Orbit ("GR No.53/2000") and MoCI Regulation No.21 of 2014 also specifies the obligation for telecommunications operators that use a slot in the orbit for their satellite to pay a satellite orbit operation right fee.

Table of Contents

Under Law No.36 of 1999 on Telecommunications (the "Telecommunications Law"), telecommunications operators must participate in USO Contribution. Further, according to MoCI Regulation No.10 of 2018 on Implementation of Telecommunication and Informatics USO ("MoCI Regulation No.10/2018") and GR No.46/2021, the USO Contribution will be one of the sources of funding for provision of information and communication technology infrastructure. This infrastructure provision is targeted to (i) remote areas needing access to information and telecommunications technology, (ii) groups of citizens with disabilities or economic limitations and/or (iii) other areas that still require access to information and telecommunications technology.

According to the Telecommunications Law, failure to make the non-tax state revenue payment and participate in USO Contribution will be subject to administrative sanctions; the most adverse one of which is revocation of license (which should be preceded by written warnings). While we have not previously failed to make the requisite payments, any failure by us to pay these obligations may cause our licenses to be revoked. Any revocation of licenses could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The interpretation and application of the anticipated enactment of a new consumer data protection regulation are uncertain and may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects

Law No.11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions Law as amended by Law No.19 of 2016 ("EIT Law") first came into effect on April 21, 2008. The EIT Law sets forth general principles to be further implemented through a series of Government regulations, presidential decrees and ministerial decrees, some of which have not yet been promulgated. In general, the provisions of the law are broad, and few sources of interpretive guidance are available. A number of implementing regulations to the EIT Law have been enacted, among others, Government Regulation No. 71 of 2019 on Implementation of Electronic System and Transaction, as implemented by MoCI No. 5 of 2020 on Private Electronic System Operators ("MoCI Regulation No.5/2020") ("GR No.71/2019") and MoCI Regulation No.20 of 2016 on Protection of Personal Data in an Electronic System ("MoCI Regulation No.20/2016"). These regulations are new and subject to interpretation by the regulatory authorities. Pending clear instances of the application of such regulations, it is uncertain how these regulations will affect us. Further, following the enactment of the Omnibus Law, GR No.46/2021 was passed which made recent changes to certain regulatory provisions that apply to the telecommunications sector.

GR No.71/2019 has implemented a number of significant changes, including (i) a new definition of public and private electronic system operators, (ii) new data localization requirements for public electronic system operators, (iii) further elaboration on the deletion of electronic data, (iv) the provision of electronic certificates and electronic reliability certificates, and (v) a new scope of electronic certification services. GR No.71/2019 also defines "public electronic system operators" as governmental institutions that organize, manage or operate an electronic system or any person, state apparatus or business entities appointed by any such governmental institution to organize, manage or operate an electronic system. The other electronic system operators that do fall within the foregoing category will be considered "private electronic system operators." Under MoCI Regulation No.5/2020, private electronic system operators must register their electronic systems with MoCI. The registration obligation also applies to private electronic system operators that are established under foreign laws (or are domiciled outside of Indonesia) and fulfil certain criteria. Private electronic system operators must ensure that their electronic systems do not (i) contain prohibited electronic information or documents and (ii) facilitate the dissemination of such electronic information or documents. Private electronic system operators must also take down prohibited contents within 24 hours or within four hours if they have received a take-down notice from MoCI.

Under GR No.71/2019, there is a one-year transitional period for electronic system operators to comply with their obligation to register with MoCI and a two-year transitional period for public electronic system operators to comply with the data localization requirements, which is the obligation to manage, process and store the electronic systems and data within Indonesia. As a positive development from the previous rule, GR No.71/2019 has clarified the data localization requirements (which now comprise "managing," "processing," and "storing" electronic systems and data) and removed the uncertainty about the "public services" definition under the prior applicable rule. The previous rule only stipulated that electronic system operators for "public services" were obliged to, among others, maintain data centers within Indonesia. GR No. 71/2019 removed all references to "public services" and instead uses the concept of "public electronic system operators", which clarifies which parties are required to comply with the additional requirements under GR No. 71/2019.

Not all of the implementing regulations of the EIT Law, however, have been issued and some have only been recently enacted. Accordingly, the full impact of the EIT Law, the related implementing regulations and any change in Indonesian consumer data protection regulations on our financial and operational status cannot be determined at this time. There is no assurance that we would be able to comply with the EIT Law, or that the compliance would not require us to make substantial capital expenditure or delays in our business schedules.

Our electronic money business activity is highly regulated

We are subject to multiple rules and regulations in respect of our electronic money (e-money) business activities. The practice of e-money in Indonesia is mainly governed by Bank Indonesia ("BI") Regulation No.20/6/PBI/2018 on Electronic Money ("BI Regulation No.20/2018"). Any party which wishes to carry out e-money activities in Indonesia must first obtain an e-money license granted by BI. Although we, through our subsidiary Telkomsel, have obtained an e-money license from BI, we are still subject to evaluation conducted by BI. Under BI Regulation No.20/2018, BI is authorized to take further action based on the evaluation as it sees fit, among others, to revoke a license, to accelerate the license period or to limit the license holder's activity. Subject to evaluation, if BI takes the view that there are reasons to impose any of those further actions on Telkomsel, our ability to conduct business in the usual course would be limited, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

BI Circular Letter No.16/11/DKSP dated July 22, 2014 on Electronic Money Operations which was most recently amended by BI Circular Letter No.18/21/DKSP dated September 27, 2016, further implements the obligation for e-money license holders to report any change in the type or name, developments or addition of facilities to the e-money product. See "Item 4. Information on the Company — Licensing — Payment Method Using e-Money." The amendment of this circular specifies that an e-money product with a different type and/or name, developments and/or additional facilities can only be issued after obtaining approval from BI. Further, BI Regulation No.20/2018 is also implemented by BI's Board of Governor Members Regulation No.20/21/PADG/2018 dated August 20, 2018 on the Report on the Implementation of Payment Using Card and Electronic Money Activities by Smallholder Credit Banks and Non-Bank Institutions ("BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018"). BI BOG Regulation No.20/2018 regulates the reporting obligation that must be satisfied by any party practicing e-money activity.

We must comply with these regulations as we are carrying out a business which is highly regulated. If we, through Telkomsel, fail to comply with any of these obligations, we will be subject to administrative sanctions. Any sanction imposed on Telkomsel could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to Development of New Businesses and Acquisitions

We may not succeed in our efforts to develop new businesses

We believe that efforts to develop new businesses other than the telecommunications business such as digital life and smart platform and enterprise digital businesses, as well as international expansion are necessary to ensure continuing business growth. Risks related to new business development include competition from established players, suitability of business model, competition from disruptive new technologies or business models, the need to acquire new expertise in the new areas of operation, and risks related to online media which include intellectual property, consumer protection and confidentiality of customer data. Further, we have to focus on securing new enterprise customers.If we are unable to secure new contracts, or we are unable to renew our existing contracts with similar contract value, size or margins to existing ones, this may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Table of Contents

Focusing on international expansion is one of our strategic business initiatives. In particular, we have expanded into a number of jurisdictions in telecommunications or data related areas, namely Singapore, Hong Kong, Timor Leste, Australia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Taiwan, the United States and New Zealand. Expanding our operations internationally exposes us to a number of risks associated with operating in new jurisdictions.For example, our international operations could be adversely affected by political or social instability and unrest, regulatory changes (such as an increase in taxes applicable to our operations), macroeconomic instability, limitations on or controls on the foreign exchange trade, competition from local operators, difference in consumer preference and a lack of expertise in the local markets in which we will operate. Any of these factors could limit our expected returns from our expansion and materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our acquisition activities expose us to various risks

We have in the past pursued, and may continue to pursue, acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses. For instance, in 2019, Mitratel purchased 2,100 telecommunications towers from PT Indosat Tbk ("Indosat"), a telecommunications operator company in Indonesia. In 2020, Mitratel entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition of 6,050 telecommunications towers from our majority-owned subsidiary PT Telekomunikasi Selular ("Telkomsel"), 1,911 of which were transferred to Mitratel in October 2020 with the remaining balance similarly transferred in February 2021. The success of these acquisitions will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the anticipated growth opportunities and synergies from combining the acquired businesses with our existing businesses. Based on the size and complexity of certain businesses, integrating them into our existing business could require substantial time, expense and effort from our management. The process of integrating an acquired business may also involve unforeseen costs and delays or other operational, technical and financial difficulties that may require a disproportionate amount of management attention as well as financial and other resources. If our management's attention is diverted or there are any difficulties associated with integrating these businesses, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

Even if we are able to successfully integrate these businesses, it may not be possible to realize the full benefits we expect to result from such acquisitions and strategic transactions or realize these benefits within the time frame that we expect. Moreover, such businesses generally remain subject to unforeseeable factors outside of our control. Our acquisitions and strategic transactions, including those entered into in recent periods, may turn out to be unprofitable. Any failure to successfully incorporate the acquired businesses and assets into our existing operations, to enhance operating efficiencies from consolidation savings, minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties and realize the anticipated benefits on time, or at all, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and cash flows.

Risks Related to our Corporate Structure

We are dependent on our subsidiary, Telkomsel, a cellular telecommunications services and cellular telecommunications networks company

We derived 65.3%, 65.1% and 61.5% of our revenue in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, from our mobile business through our 65.0% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. The remaining 35.0% interest in Telkomsel is held by Singapore Telecom Mobile Pte. Ltd. ("Singtel").A telecommunication company based in Singapore,Singtel may seek to influence the management, operation and performance of Telkomsel. In the event that there are differences between us and Singtel regarding the business, strategy and operations of Telkomsel, these issues may take time to resolve, or may not result in a positive outcome for our Group. These factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

Our controlling shareholder's interest may differ from those of our other shareholders

The Government has a controlling equity interest of 52.09% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock and the ability to determine the outcome of all actions requiring the approval of our shareholders. The Government also holds our one Dwiwarna Share, which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain matters, including the election and removal of our Directors and Commissioners. The Government may also use its powers as a majority shareholder or under the Dwiwarna Share to cause us to issue new shares, amend our Articles of Association or bring about actions to merge or dissolve us, increase or decrease our authorized capital or reduce our issued capital, or veto any of these actions. One or more of these may result in the delisting of our securities from certain exchanges. In addition, the Government regulates the Indonesian telecommunications industry through the MoCI.

As of December 31, 2020, the Government had a 14.29% equity interest in Indosat, which competes with us in cellular services, data center services, IT solutions, system integration services and fixed IDD telecommunications services. The Government's equity interest in Indosat also includes a Dwiwarna Share which has special voting rights and veto rights over certain strategic matters under Indosat's articles of association, including decisions on dissolution, liquidation and bankruptcy, and also permits the Government to nominate one director to its board of directors and one commissioner to its board of commissioners. As a result, there may be instances where the Government's interests will conflict with ours. There is no assurance that the Government will not direct opportunities to Indosat or favor Indosat or any other telecommunications operator when exercising regulatory powers over the Indonesian telecommunications industry. If the Government were to give priority to the business of Indosat or any other telecommunications operator over ours, or to expand its equity interest in Indosat or acquire an equity interest in any other telecommunications operator, our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control, and could limit the opportunity for our shareholders to receive a premium for their ADSs and/or shares, and could also materially decrease the price that some investors are willing to pay for our ADSs and/or shares.

Risks Related to Indonesia

Political and Social Risks

Current political and social events in Indonesia may adversely affect our business

Since 1998, Indonesia has experienced a process of democratic change, resulting in political and social events that have highlighted the unpredictable nature of Indonesia’sIndonesia's changing political landscape. In 1999, Indonesia conducted its first free elections for representatives in parliament. In 2004, 2009, 2014 and most recently, in 2019, elections were held in Indonesia to elect the President, Vice-President and representatives in parliament. Indonesia also has many political parties, without any one party holding a clear majority. Due to these factors, Indonesia has, from time to time, experienced political instability, as well as general social and civil unrest. For example, since 2000, thousands of Indonesians have participated in demonstrations in Jakarta and other Indonesian cities both for and against former presidents Abdurrahman Wahid, Megawati Soekarnoputri and Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and current President Joko Widodo as well as in response to specific issues, including fuel subsidy reductions, privatization of state assets, anti-corruption measures, decentralization and provincial autonomy, and the American-led military campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq. Although these demonstrations were generally peaceful, some turned violent. Indonesia announced in November 2014, and implemented with effect from January 1, 2015, a fixed diesel subsidy of Rp1,000 per liter and scrapped the gasoline subsidy. Although the implementation did not result in any significant violence or political instability, the announcement and implementation also coincided with a period where crude oil prices had dropped very significantly from 2014. Currently, the Government reviews and adjusts the price for fuel on monthly basis and implements the adjusted fuel price in the following month. There can be no assurance that future increases in crude oil and fuel prices will not result in political and social instability.

President Joko Widodo won the Indonesian presidential elections which took place in 2014, and was sworn in as President on October 20, 2014. Although the 2014 elections were conducted in a peaceful manner, President Joko Widodo's governing coalition did not hold a majority of seats in parliament. Between November 2016 and February 2017, significant demonstrations took place in central Jakarta against the governor of Jakarta. These demonstrations occurred during the closely fought Jakarta gubernatorial elections which took place in February 2017 and continued through the subsequent run-off election in April 2017. Each of the foregoing events, as well as political campaigns in Indonesia generally, may be indicative of the degree of political and social division in Indonesia. The latest presidential election took place on April 17, 2019. Although the votes are still being counted as at the date hereof,2019, and incumbent President Joko Widodo is leadingwon the votes. Regardlesspresidential polls with 55.5% of the final official results, theretotal votes. The result triggered allegations of electoral fraud. Thousands of supporters of the opposing party Prabowo Subianto held a rally in front of the Elections Supervisory Agency's ("BAWASLU") headquarters on Jl. Thamrin in Central Jakarta on May 21, 2019, calling for the disqualification of Joko Widodo from the presidential election. The rally ended with a riot on May 22, 2019, in Central Jakarta. The opposing party also filed a lawsuit to the Constitutional Court to challenge the election result, alleging fraud. The Constitutional Court on July 27, 2019, rejected the lawsuit challenging the presidential election result. There can be no assurance that therethis situation or future sources of discontent will be no resurgence ofnot lead to further political instability which would affect the Indonesian economy and in turn, our business.  social instability.

Separatist movements and clashes between religious and ethnic groups have also resulted in social and civil unrest in parts of Indonesia, such as Aceh in the past and in Papua currently.Papua. There have been clashes between supporters of those separatist movements and the Indonesian military, including continued activity in Papua by separatist rebels that has led to violent incidents. There have also been inter-ethnic conflicts, for example in Kalimantan, as well as inter-religious conflict such as in Maluku and Poso.

In August 2019, after the arrest of Papuan students for allegedly vandalizing the Indonesian flag, riots broke out in Papua. The riots caused a Telkom customer service building to be damaged in 2019, but this did not result in significant issues, service interruption or damages.

In October and November 2020, there were numerous protests held across Indonesia against the newly issued Job Creation Law. This law amends more than 70 existing laws and seeks to cut red tape and boost investments for creating new jobs. Protesters claimed that the Job Creation Law will generally undermine existing labor laws and weaken environmental protections.

Labor issues have also come to the fore in Indonesia. In 2003, the Government enacted a newthe current labor law that gave employees greater protections. Occasional efforts to reduce these protections have prompted an upsurge in public protests as workers responded to policies that they deemed unfavorable. More recently, the Job Creation Law amended certain provisions of the Labor Law.

There can be no assurance that social and civil disturbances will not occur in the future and on a wider scale, or that any such disturbances will not, directly or indirectly, materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Terrorist activities in Indonesia could destabilize Indonesia, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and the market price of our securities

There have been a number of terrorist incidents in Indonesia in recent years,the past two decades, including the May 2005 bombing in Central Sulawesi, the Bali bombings in October 2002 and October 2005 and the bombings at the JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton hotels in Jakarta in July 2009, which resulted in deaths and injuries. On January 14, 2016, several coordinated bombings and gun shootings occurred in Jalan Thamrin, a main thoroughfare in Jakarta, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries. On May 24, 2017, a bombing at a bus station in Jakarta resulted in multiple deaths and injuries. In May 2018, three churches were bombed in Surabaya, killing at least 28 people and injuring at least 50 others. On October 10, 2019, Wiranto, Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs at that time was stabbed several times by a member of Jamaah Ansharut Daulah, an extremist group, during his visit in Java. More recently, a bombing occurred on March 28, 2021 in the Makassar Cathedral injuring more than 20 people.

Although the Government has successfully countered some terrorist activities in recent years and arrested several of those suspected of being involved in these incidents, terrorist incidents may continue and, if serious or widespread, might have a material adverse effect on investment and confidence in, and the performance of, the Indonesian economy and may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and the market price of our securities.

Macro-Economic Risks

Negative changes in global, regional or Indonesian economic activity could adversely affect our business

Changes in the Indonesian, regional and global economies can affect our performance. Two significant events in the past that impacted Indonesia’sIndonesia's economy were the Asian economic crisis of 1997 and the global economic crisis which started in 2008. The 1997 crisis was characterized in Indonesia by, among others, currency depreciation, a significant decline in real gross domestic product, high interest rates, social unrest and extraordinary political developments. Indonesia entered a recessionary phase with relatively low levels of growth between 1999 and 2002. The rate of growth has stabilized at relatively higher levels in subsequent years, though there has been a moderate slowdown in growth from 2012 to 2016.2016 with slight development over the following years, except in 2020, principally due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented in response to the pandemic. In addition, the Government continues to have a modest fiscal deficit and a high level of sovereign debt, its foreign currency reserves are modest, the Indonesian Rupiah continues to be volatile and has poor liquidity, and the banking sector is weak and suffers from high levels of non-performing loans. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the current Indonesian economic situation would not deteriorate, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

While the global economic crisis that arose from the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States did not affect Indonesia’sIndonesia's economy as severely as in 1997, it still put Indonesia’sIndonesia's economy under pressure. The global financial markets have also experienced volatility as a result of expectations relating to monetary and interest rate policies of the United States, concerns over the debt crisis in the Eurozone, Brexit, the United States and China trade disputes, concerns over China’sChina's economic health and economic protectionism.protectionism, and most recently, the ongoing outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Uncertainty over the outcome of the Eurozone governments’governments' financial support programs and worries about sovereign finances generally are ongoing. The economic and social impact of the COVID-19 spread, which as at the date hereof continues to disrupt the Indonesian economy, further escalation of trade and geopolitical tensions, uncertainties around the conditions of the future trade relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU after the UK ceased to be a member of the EU on January 30, 2020, and persistently weak economic data pointing to a protracted slowdown in global growth are among the possible triggers that could result in a major deterioration in financial market sentiment.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and major trading partners, most notably China, continue to escalate following the introduction of a series of tariff measures in both countries. Although China is the primary target of U.S. trade measures, value chain linkages mean that other emerging markets, primarily in Asia, may also be impacted. China's policy response to these trade measures also presents a degree of uncertainty. There is some evidence of China's monetary policy easing and the potential for greater fiscal spending, which could result in imbalances in the Chinese economy. This could undermine efforts to address already high debt levels and increase medium-term risks.

In Europe, the UK Government and the EU Commission announced an agreement on a EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement ("TCA"). While this agreement covers a number of topics, including trade in goods and in services, digital trade, intellectual property, public procurement, aviation and road transport, energy, fisheries, social security coordination, law enforcement and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, thematic cooperation and participation in certain EU programs, there are still many unanswered questions. For instance, the TCA does not cover the specifics of the UK-EU agreement regarding financial services. In addition, the TCA is being applied on temporary basis pending the ratification of its final terms in the EU. Such uncertainties, uncertainty as to the magnitude of the expected negative impact of Brexit on the economic outlook of the UK and the Eurozone, and other expected or unexpected effects of Brexit, such as (i) the possible exit of Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland from the UK, (ii) the possibility that other European Union member States could hold similar referendums to the one held in the UK and/or call into question their membership of the European Union, (iii) the possibility that one or more countries that adopted the Euro as their national currency might decide, in the long term, to adopt an alternative currency, or (iv) prolonged periods of uncertainty connected to these eventualities may have a negative economic impact and increase volatility in international markets. These could include greater volatility of foreign exchange and financial markets in general due to the increased uncertainty. Market and economic disruptions have affected, and may continue to affect, consumer confidence levels and spending, personal bankruptcy rates, levels of incurrence and default on consumer debt, among other factors. There can be no assurance that the market disruptions in Europe, including the increased cost of funding for certain governments and financial institutions, will not spread, nor can there be any assurance that future financial support packages will be made available or, even if provided, will be sufficient to stabilise the affected countries and markets in Europe or elsewhere.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and preventative or protective actions that governmental authorities around the world have taken to counter the effects of the pandemic, including social distancing, office and school closures, travel restrictions and the imposition of quarantines, have resulted in periods of business disruption, including prolonged disruptions to manufacturing and global supply chains as well as restrictions on business activities and the movement of people comprising a significant portion of the world’s population, and a global decrease in economic activity, including in Indonesia. Such measures, and rapid increases of severe cases and deaths where such measures fail or are lifted prematurely, may cause unprecedented economic disruption in Indonesia and elsewhere. As at the date hereof, there is substantial medical uncertainty regarding COVID-19 and no government-certified treatment or vaccine available. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to uncertainty in the global economy and significant volatility in global financial markets, which may have a negative impact on global economic conditions and lead to a prolonged global economic crisis or recession. The local and global economic disruption from the COVID-19 outbreak has negatively affected individuals and Indonesian companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large corporates (a number of which are our consumers and customers) which have experienced reductions in income, sales and revenue. In 2020, Indonesia's GDP suffered a contraction by 2.07%(computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. The consequential decrease in disposable income or available cash, together with a broad negative business sentiment could lead to weaker demand for certain of our products and services in the future. For the financial year ended December 31, 2020, there was no significant negative impact on our sales revenue.

If the current global uncertainties become protracted, we can provide no assurance that they will not have a material and adverse effect on Indonesia’sIndonesia's economic growth and consequently on our business.

Adverse economic conditions could result in less business activity, less disposable income available for consumers to spend and reduced consumer purchasing power, which may reduce demand for communication services, including our services, which in turn would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. There is no assurance that there will not be a recurrence of economic instability in future, or that, should it occur, it will not have an impact on the performance of our business.

Fluctuations in the value of the Indonesian Rupiah may materially and adversely affect us

Our functional currency is the Indonesian Rupiah. One of the most important impacts the Asian economic crisis had on Indonesia was the depreciation and volatility in the value of the Indonesian Rupiah as measured against other currencies, such as the U.S. Dollar. The Indonesian Rupiah continues to experience significant volatility.

3143


In particular, in 2020 the Rupiah has weakened against the U.S. Dollar from Rp13,612 = US$1.00 on January 27, 2020 to Rp16,741 = US$1.00 on April 2, 2020 before appreciating again up to Rp14,105 = US$1.00 on December 31, 2020. (based on the middle exchange rate announced by Bank Indonesia), due, among other factors, to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Indonesian economy.

In addition, while the Indonesian Rupiah has generally been freely convertible and transferable, from time to time, Bank Indonesia has intervened in the currency exchange markets in furtherance of its policies, either by selling Indonesian Rupiah or by using its foreign currency reserves to purchase Indonesian Rupiah. We can give no assurance that the current floating exchange rate policy of Bank Indonesia will not be modified or that the Government will take additional action to stabilize, maintain or increase the Indonesian Rupiah’sRupiah's value, or that any of these actions, if taken, will be successful. Modification of the current floating exchange rate policy could result in significantly higher domestic interest rates, liquidity shortages, capital or exchange controls, or the withholding of additional financial assistance by multinational lenders. This could result in a reduction of economic activity, an economic recession, loan defaults or declining subscriber usage of our services, and as a result, we may also face difficulties in funding our capital expenditures and in implementing our business strategy. Any of the foregoing consequences could have a material adverse effect onmaterially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Downgrades of credit ratings of the Government or Indonesian companies could adversely affect our business

As of the date of this Annual Report, Indonesia’sannual report on Form 20-F, Indonesia's sovereign foreign currency long-term debt was rated "Baa2" with stable outlook by Moody’s, "BBB-"Moody's, "BBB" with negative outlook by Standard & Poor’sPoor's and "BBB" with stable outlook by Fitch Ratings.Fitch. Indonesia's short-term foreign currency debt is rated "A-3""A-2" by Standard & Poor’sPoor's and "F2" by Fitch Ratings.Fitch.

These ratings reflect an assessment of the Government’s overall financial capacity to pay its obligations and its ability or willingness to meet its financial commitments as they become due. We can give no assurance that Moody’s,Moody's, Standard & Poor’sPoor's, Fitch or Fitch Ratingsany other statistical rating organization will not change or downgrade the credit ratings of Indonesia.Indonesia or Indonesian companies. In particular, the credit ratings of Indonesia or Indonesian companies, have been and may be further downgraded due to the effects of the current COVID-19 pandemic. On April 17, 2020, Standard & Poor’s affirmed Indonesia’s foreign currency long-term debt rating of “BBB” but revised the outlook from stable to negative. Considering the rapidly changing implications of the spread of COVID-19, it is difficult to assess the full nature and extent of the impact that the outbreak will have on such credit ratings. Any such downgrade could have an adverse impact on liquidity in the Indonesian financial markets, the ability of the Government and Indonesian companies, including us, to raise additional financing, and the interest rates and other commercial terms at which such additional financing is available. Interest rates on our floating rate Rupiah-denominated debt would also likely increase. Such events could have material adverse effects onmaterially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and/or the market price of our securities.

Disaster Risks relating to Natural Disasters

Indonesia is vulnerable to natural disasters and events beyond our control, which could adversely affect our business and operating results

Many parts of Indonesia, including areas where we operate, are prone to natural disasters such as floods, lightning strikes, typhoons, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, fires, droughts, power outages and other events beyond our control. The Indonesian archipelago is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world as it is located in the convergence zone of three major lithospheric plates. It is subject to significant seismic activity that can lead to destructive earthquakes, tsunamis or tidal waves. Flash floods and more widespread flooding also occur regularly during the rainy season from November to April. Cities, especially Jakarta, are frequently subject to severe localized flooding which can result in major disruption and, occasionally, fatalities. Landslides regularly occur in rural areas during the wet season. From time to time, natural disasters have killed, affected or displaced large numbers of people and damaged our equipment. These events in the past have disrupted, and may in the future, disrupt our business activities, cause damage to equipment, and adversely affect our financial performance and profit.

For example, on September 2, 2009, an earthquake in West Java caused damage to our assets. On September 30, 2009, an earthquake in West Sumatra disrupted the provision of telecommunications services in several locations and caused severe damage to our assets. In June 2016, underwater volcanic activity caused disturbances to submarine fiber optic cable, causing disruption in services and loss of revenue. On August 5, 2018 a large earthquake hit Lombok and on September 28, 2018, a large earthquake triggered a tsunami which impacted Central Sulawesi, both of which caused operational disruptions and damage to our assets,assets. In January 2020, landslides and floods triggered by torrential downpours in and around Jakarta, Bekasi and Bogor resulted in approximately 50 deaths and 400,000 displaced. Floodwater reached up to six meters in certain areas, making it the extentworst rainfall in over a decade. The extreme weather also submerged at least 169 neighborhoods. The landslides and floods caused damage to our civil mechanical and electrical equipment, production equipment, and buildings. This resulted in the congestion of data traffic when transferring data to our backup network and therefore, several hours of service disruption at various automatic telephone center (Sentral Telepon Otomat or "STO").The estimated loss from the damages caused by the landslides and floods is Rp36.2billion, out of which we are still assessing.had to bear approximately Rp2.0 billion after taking into account reimbursements obtained from insurance companies.

Given the geography of Indonesia, we are highly reliant on the use of submarine cables to provide services across the Indonesian archipelago. These submarine cables may be damaged by volcanic activity or friction with the ocean floor caused by earthquake tremors or otherwise, which may disrupt our ability to provide services to customers.

32

Although we have implemented a business continuity plan and a disaster recovery plan, which we test regularly, and we have insured certain of our assets to protect from any losses attributable to natural disasters or other phenomena beyond our control, there is no assurance that the insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover the potential losses, that the premium payable for these insurance policies upon renewal will not increase substantially in the future, or that natural disasters would not significantly disrupt our operations.

We cannot assure you that future natural disasters will not have a significant impact on us, or Indonesia or its economy. A significant earthquake, other geological disturbance or weather-related natural disaster in any of Indonesia’sIndonesia's more populated cities and financial centers could severely disrupt the Indonesian economy and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Our operations may be adversely affected by an outbreak of an infectious disease, such as avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) virus or other epidemics

An outbreak of an infectious disease such as avian influenza, Influenza A (H1N1) or a similar epidemic, or the measures taken by the governments of affected countries, including Indonesia, against such an outbreak, could severely disrupt the Indonesian economy and undermine investor confidence, thereby materially and adversely affecting our financial condition or results of operations and the market value of our securities. Moreover, our operations could be materially disrupted if our employees remained at home and away from our principal places of business for extended period of time, which would have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations and the market value of our securities. The perception that an outbreak of infectious diseases or another contagious disease may occur may also have an adverse effect on the economic conditions of countries in Asia, including Indonesia.

We may be affected by uncertainty in the delineation of the respective prerogatives and responsibilities of, and the balance of power between local governments and the central government in Indonesia

Law No.25 ofSince 1999 regarding, Fiscal Decentralizationvarious laws and Law No.22regulations regarding fiscal decentralization, devolution of 1999 regarding Regional Autonomy were passed by the Indonesian parliament in 1999power to local governments and further implemented by Government Regulation No.38 of 2007.

Law No.32 of 2004 and its amendments were revoked and replaced by Law No.23 of 2014 regarding Regional Autonomy as amended by Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No.2 of 2014, Law No.2 of 2015 and Law No.9 of 2015. Law No.25 of 1999 has been revoked and replaced by Law No.33 of 2004 regardingor replaced. As at the Fiscal Balance between the Central and the Regional Governments respectively. Currently,date hereof, there is uncertainty in respect of the respective prerogatives and responsibilities, and the balance of power between the local and the central governments and theregarding several subject matters. Those include procedures for renewing licenses and approvals, and monitoring compliance with environmental regulations. In addition, some local authorities have sought to levy additional taxes or obtain other contributions.new contributions, from time to time. There can be no assurance that a balance between local governments and the central governmentsuch uncertainty will be effectively establisheddissipate or that our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will not be adversely affected by dual compliance obligations and further uncertainty as to legal authoritylegality to levy new taxes by certain authorities or the ability of such authorities to promulgate other regulations affecting our business.

Risks Related to our ADSs

The trading price of our ADSs may be volatile, which could result in substantial losses to you

The trading price of our ADSs may fluctuate widely due to factors beyond our control. As a result of this volatility, investors may not be able to sell their ADSs at or above the price paid for the ADSs or ordinary shares, respectively. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk factors” section and elsewhere in this annual report on Form 20-F, these factors include:

variations in our revenue, earnings, cash flow and operating data;

45


Table of Contents

regulatory or legal developments in Indonesia, jurisdictions where we carry out our operations or in the United States;

announcements of new investments, acquisitions or strategic partnerships by us or our competitors;

general economic, political, and market conditions and overall fluctuations in the financial markets in Indonesia, the United States, and other countries where we carry out our operations, including the global and regional impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic;

sales volumes of our ADSs or ordinary shares, or sales of our ADSs or shares by our senior management, directors or our large shareholders, or the anticipation that such sales may occur in the future;

stock market price and volume fluctuations of comparable companies and, in particular, companies that operate in the telecommunications industry or with most of their operations in Indonesia;

investors’ general perception of us and our business;

announcements of new products, services and expansions by us or our competitors;

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts;

detrimental adverse publicity about us, our services or our industry;

additions or departures of key personnel; and

potential litigation or regulatory investigations.

Any of these factors may result in large and sudden changes in the volume and price at which our ADSs or ordinary shares will trade.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research reports about us or our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our ADSs, the market price for our ADSs and trading volume could decline

The trading market for our ADSs will be influenced by research reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts who cover us downgrade our ADSs or ordinary shares, the market price for our ADSs would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease to cover us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause the market price or trading volume for our ADSs to decline.

The different characteristics of the capital markets in Indonesia and the U.S. may negatively affect the trading prices of our ADSs and shares

As a dual-listed company, we are subject to Indonesian and NYSE listing and regulatory requirements concurrently. The IDX and the NYSE have different trading hours, trading characteristics (including trading volume and liquidity), trading and listing rules, and investor bases (including different levels of retail and institutional participation). As a result of these differences, the trading prices of our ADSs and our shares may not be the same, even allowing for currency differences. Fluctuations in the price of our ADSs due to circumstances peculiar to the U.S. capital markets could materially and adversely affect the price of the shares, or vice versa. Certain events having significant negative impact specifically on the U.S. capital markets may result in a decline in the trading price of our shares notwithstanding that such event may not impact the trading prices of securities listed on the IDX generally or to the same extent, or vice versa.

Our financial results are reported to the OJK in conformity with IFAS, which differs in certain respects from IFRS, and we distribute dividends based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share determined in reliance on IFAS  

In accordance with the regulations of the OJK and the Indonesia Stock Exchange ("IDX"), we are required to report our financial results to the OJK in conformity with IFAS. We have provided the OJK with our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2020 on April 29, 2021. We furnished such financial results to the SEC on Form 6-K dated April 30, 2021, which contains our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020, and prepared in conformity with IFAS. IFAS differs in certain significant respects from IFRS and, as a result, there are differences between our financial results as reported under IFAS and IFRS, including profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share. We distribute dividends based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company and net income per share determined in reliance on IFAS.

Based on IFAS financial statements, our profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company would be Rp18,663 billion in 2019 and Rp20,804 billion in 2020 and our net income per share would be Rp188.40 in 2019 and Rp210.01 in 2020. For 2019, dividends declared per share were Rp154.07 and dividends declared per ADS were Rp15,407. The dividend for 2020 will be decided at the 2021 AGMS, scheduled on May 28, 2021.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are permitted to, and we have relied and will rely on exemptions from certain NYSE corporate governance standards applicable to domestic U.S. issuers. This may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs

We are exempted from certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE by virtue of being a foreign private issuer in the U.S. We are required to provide a brief description of the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and the corporate governance practices required to be followed by domestic U.S. companies listed on the NYSE. See "Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees" and “Item 16G. Corporate Governance.” The standards applicable to us are considerably different than the standards applied to domestic U.S. issuers. For instance, we are not required to: have a majority of the board of be independent (although all of the members of the audit committee must be independent under the Exchange Act), have a compensation committee or a nominating or corporate governance committee consisting entirely of independent directors, have regularly scheduled executive sessions for non-management directors, or have executive sessions of solely independent directors each year.

We have relied on and intend to continue to rely on some of these exemptions. As a result, holders of our ADSs may not be provided with the benefits of certain corporate governance requirements of the NYSE.

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are exempt from certain disclosure requirements under the Exchange Act, which may afford less protection to holders of our ADSs than they would enjoy if we were a domestic U.S. company

As a foreign private issuer in the U.S., we are exempt from, among other things, the rules prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements under the Exchange Act and the rules relating to selective disclosure of material non-public information under Regulation FD under the Exchange Act. In addition, our executive officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit and recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. We are also not required under the Exchange Act to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act. For example, in addition to annual reports with audited financial statements, domestic U.S. companies are required to file with the SEC quarterly reports that include interim financial statements reviewed by an independent registered public accounting firm and certified by the companies’ principal executive and financial officers. By contrast, as a foreign private issuer, we are not required to file such quarterly reports with the SEC or to provide quarterly certifications by our principal executive and financial officers. As a result, holders of our ADSs may be afforded less protection than they would under the Exchange Act rules applicable to domestic U.S. companies.

The voting rights of holders of our ADSs are limited by the terms of the Deposit Agreement

Holders of our ADSs may exercise their voting rights with respect to the ordinary shares underlying their ADSs only in accordance with the provisions of the Deposit Agreement. Upon receipt of voting instructions from them in the manner set forth in the Deposit Agreement, the depositary for our ADSs will endeavor to vote their underlying ordinary shares in accordance with these instructions. Under our Articles of Association, minimum notice periods apply for convening a general meeting or an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders. When such meetings are convened, holders of our ADSs may not receive sufficient notice of a shareholders’ meeting to permit them to allow them to exercise their voting rights with respect to any specific matter at the meeting. In addition, the Depositary may not be able to send voting instructions to holders of our ADSs or carry out their voting instructions in a timely manner. Furthermore, the Depositary will not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instructions to vote, for the manner in which any vote is cast or for the effect of any vote. If no voting instructions are received by the Depositary from an holder of our ADSs on or before the date specified by the Depositary, subject to certain exceptions, the Depositary shall deem that such holder has instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to the shares underlying such holder's ADSs. As a result, holders of our ADSs may not be able to exercise their rights to vote and they may lack recourse if the ordinary shares underlying their ADSs are not voted as they requested. 

Holders of our ADSs may be subject to limitations on transfer of their ADSs

ADSs are transferable on the books of the Depositary. However, the Depositary may close its transfer books at any time or from time to time when it deems expedient in connection with the performance of its duties. In addition, the Depositary may refuse to deliver, transfer or register transfers of ADSs generally when our books or the transfer books of the Depositary are closed, or at any time if we or the Depositary deems it advisable to do so because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body, or under any provision of the Deposit Agreement, or for any other reason.

Holders of our ADSs may not receive distributions on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical to make them available to them

The Depositary of our ADSs has agreed to pay holders of our ADSs the cash dividends or other distributions it receives on our ordinary shares or other deposited securities after deducting its fees and expenses, and subject to certain tax withholdings, as applicable. Holders of our ADSs will receive these distributions in proportion to the number of our ordinary shares that their ADSs represent. However, the Depositary is not responsible for making these payments or distributions if it is unlawful or impractical to make a distribution available to any holders of ADSs. For example, it would be unlawful to make a distribution to a holder of ADSs if it consists of securities that require registration under the U.S. Securities Act but that are not properly registered or distributed pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. We have no obligation to take any action to permit the distribution of our ADSs, ordinary shares, rights or anything else to holders of our ADSs. This means that holders of our ADSs may not receive the distributions we make on our ordinary shares or any value for them if it is illegal or impractical for us to make them available. These restrictions may materially reduce the value of the ADSs.

Holders of our ADSs may experience dilution of their holdings due to their inability to participate in rights offerings

We may, from time to time, distribute rights to our shareholders, including rights to acquire securities. Under the Deposit Agreement, the Depositary will not distribute rights to holders of ADSs unless the distribution and sale of rights and the securities to which these rights relate are either exempt from registration under the Securities Act with respect to all holders of ADSs, or are registered under the provisions of the Securities Act. The depositary may, but is not required to, attempt to sell these undistributed rights to third parties, and may allow the rights to lapse. We may be unable to establish an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and we are under no obligation to file a registration statement with respect to these rights or underlying securities or to endeavor to have a registration statement declared effective. Accordingly, holders of ADSs may be unable to participate in our rights offerings and may experience dilution of their holdings as a result.

The time required for the exchange between ADSs and shares might be longer than expected and investors might not be able to settle or effect any sale of their securities during this period

There is no direct trading or settlement between the NYSE and the IDX on which our ADSs and the shares are respectively traded. In addition, the time differences between Indonesia and New York and unforeseen market circumstances or other factors may delay the deposit of shares in exchange of ADSs or the withdrawal of shares underlying the ADSs. Investors will be prevented from settling or effecting the sale of their securities during such periods of delay. In addition, there is no assurance that any exchange of shares into ADSs (and vice versa) will be completed in accordance with the timeline investors may anticipate.

We are established in Indonesia and it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process or enforce judgments, on us, our Commissioners, Directors or officers within the United States, or to enforce judgments of a foreign court against us or any of these persons in Indonesia

We are a state-owned limited liability company established in Indonesia, operating within the framework of Indonesian laws governing companies with limited liability, and all of our significant assets are located, and most of our current operations are conducted in Indonesia. In addition, all of our current Commissioners and Directors reside in Indonesia, are nationals of countries other than the United States and a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for investors to effect service of process, or enforce judgments on us or such persons within the United States, or to enforce against us or such persons in the United States, judgments obtained in United States courts.

We have been advised by Hadiputranto, Hadinoto & Partners, our Indonesian legal advisor, that judgments of United States courts, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any State of the United States, are not enforceable in Indonesian courts, although such judgments could be admissible as non-conclusive evidence in a proceeding on the underlying claim in an Indonesian court. They have also advised that there is doubt as to whether Indonesian courts will enter judgments in original actions brought in Indonesian courts predicated solely upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities laws of any state within the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for you to bring an action against us or against our Commissioners, Directors or officers in the United States in the event that you believe that your rights have been infringed under the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if you are successful in bringing an action of this kind, under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia you may be unable to enforce a judgment against our assets or the assets of our Commissioners, Directors or officers as claimants would be required to pursue claims against us or such persons in Indonesian courts.

We also continue delivering efficient space allocation for our legacy network equipment and enjoyable work ambience for employees and partners by leveraging our significant property assets portfolio. Such assets are in the form of buildingsoffice experience for our network nodes, offices, and other businesses, landbank, and landed residential properties. However, network engineering improvements coupled with reduced human capital growth has opened up opportunities for asset leveraging initiatives.employees. We execute this leveraging process through our subsidiary, PT Graha Sarana Duta ("Telkom Property,Property"), and offer services such as property development (planning, development and construction of property area), property leasing (property rent and leasing), property facilities (business line engaged in retail and leasing, transportation management system) and property management (building management, mall, apartment and security services). These services contribute to the increase of our property assetsasset utilization and contributes to the diversification of our digital ecosystem.

In 2018,2020 we focused on the conversion of existing buildings or available space into data centers to support an acceleration in the pace of digitalization of our customers, in particular for our customers who offer ICT services and solutions, in particular in areas of high traffic. We also successfully developed several commercial projects such as retail minimart outlets throughout Indonesia and the Telkom Property undertook several property developmentsLandmark Tower Surabaya Office Building Complex in accordance withEast Java through our targetstargeted retail and standards.

Network Infrastructure and Development

In line with our vision and mission, we classify our network infrastructure into two categories, namely: (i) our national network infrastructure, to support our Indonesia Digital Network program, which we discuss in greater detail below and (ii) our international network infrastructure, to support our international expansion program.

45

National Network

We believe infrastructure development and the provision of connectivity are crucial aspects in our vision to become the "King of Digital." We continue to pursue the development of our network infrastructure to offer more efficient and cost-competitive services, in line with the Government’sGovernment's Indonesia Broadband Plan which lays out itsthe Government's aspirations to accelerate and expand broadband penetration in Indonesia. The COVID-19 outbreak has also increased focus on the need to accelerate digitization in Indonesia and the deployment of 5G technology. In addition, we aim to continue to develop and improve our network infrastructure with a view to developing a high-quality, efficient and competitive infrastructure in terms of costs for delivery of services.

As a result, we plan to continue to actualize digitization in Indonesia through our Indonesia Digital Network program which comprises three components, namely id-Convergence ("id-Con"id-Con"), id-Ring and id-Access, described below:

id-Con: represents our aim to realize the convergence of various elements of our network infrastructure into an integrated multi-service and multi-device Next Generation Network. id-Con is a strategic initiative that focuses on providing a platform for the design, development and delivery of the services and solutions we offer. In order to develop such platform and ensure the reliability and scalability of the services and solutions we offer, we intend to continue utilizing our data center facilities and our cloud management platform. In addition, we are focused on securing the integrity of our platforms. We aim to continue designing and developing industry-specific smart enabler platforms for certain industries in Indonesia, such as the transportation, healthcare and public sectors.

id-Ring: represents our aim to develop a resilient nationwide fiber optic backbone and establishing our domestic network infrastructure as a hub for international broadband traffic. In order to implement this strategy, we are developing the IGG cable system, which we completed in December 2018. It will leverage Indonesia's strategic geographic location and provide an alternative direct broadband connection between Europe, Asia and America. In addition, we have developed a nationwide infrastructure network with a fiber optic backbone, which covers 458cities in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020. In 2020, we continued to increase the number of our access points and points of presence. We also continued to re-engineer and re-inforce the network for future service readiness programs that require huge capacity, ultra-low latency and massive connectivity by more efficient total cost development. Furthermore, our Merah Putih Satellite was launched in August 2018 and began commercial operations in September 2018. This satellite has a capacity of 60 TPE, which consists of 48 C-Band transponders and 12 extended C-Band transponders and will cover the Southeast Asia and South Asia regions. Operating our own satellites reduces our dependency on foreign satellite operators for capacity. It also provides us with better ICT to service remote areas within Indonesia.

This ensures the adequacy of the Internetinternet gateway capacity in anticipation of the expected growth for both fixed and mobile broadband traffic. In 2018,2020, operated content delivery networks (CDN)("CDN") with an aggregate capacity of 3,09710,546 Gbps in collaboration with Google, Facebook, Akamai, Edgecast, Level3, ChinaNet, Yahoo and Over The Top video content providers such as iFlixand HOOQ.Catchplay+.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, we maintained eighthad 59 points of presence in 49 cities in Indonesia: including 12 main points of presence in Batam (at Batam Center and Bukit Dangas), Jakarta (at Jatinegara and Cikupa), Surabaya (at Rungkut and Kebalen), Manado (at Manado Centrum and Manado Paniki) and, Makasar (at Pettarani and Balaikota) and we also completed two main points of presence in North Sulawesi (at Manado CentrumBanjarmasin (Banjarmasin and Manado Paniki). In addition, we maintained 32Ulin), and 47 primary and secondary points of presence and completed fourthroughout Indonesia. In 2020, we added three primary points of presence in Central Java (at KudusBali (Singaraja), Kalimantan (Samarinda) and Solo) and West Java (at Bandung and Tasikmalaya) in 2018.  As of December 31, 2018, we had 46 points of presence in 31 cities in Indonesia.Nusa Tenggara Barat (Bima).

Throughout 2018,2020, we consistently deployed additional access points across Indonesia, while also choosing to dismantle certain access points which provided Wi-Fi services in locations where there was low utilization. Dismantled access points were redeployed in more suitable locations. As of December 31, 2018,2020, a total of 382,361386,856 access points has been installed (consisting of 146,053 managed access points and 240,803 home spots).

Data Center

As of December 31, 2020, we operated 26 data centers (21 local data centers and five international data centers). Telin operated five overseas data centers which consisted of three locations in Singapore (Telin-1, Telin-2, Telin-3) with a total capacity of 16,542 KWH, one location in Timor Leste (250 kVA) and one location in Hong Kong (500 kVA). In Indonesia, our 21 local data centers had an aggregate capacity of 4,389 racks (including 955 NeuCentrIX racks and 3,434 racks with a Tier 3 and Tier 4 specification), representing an increase by 16.0% in number of racks from 3,783 racks in 2019 (including 584 racks of NeuCentrIX and 3,199 racks with a Tier 3 and Tier 4 specification) and we had established and operated 18 NeuCentrIX data centers in Balikpapan, Bandung (at Lembong), Batam (at Bukit Dangas and Batam center), Jakarta (at Karet Tengsin, Jatinegara and Meruya), Yogyakarta, Makassar, Manado (at Paniki), Medan (at Centrum), Semarang (at Banyumanik, Candi), Surabaya (at Kebalen, Kaliasem and Gubeng), Banjarmasin (Banjarmasin Ulin), and Pekanbaru. Telkom Sigma also managed three data centers with a specification of Tier 3 and Tier 4 in Indonesia (at Serpong, Sentul, and Surabaya). In 2020, we further deployed our NeuCentrIX data center capacities and services which target enterprise and wholesale customers by offering digital hub experience under the NeuCentrIX umbrella brand, combining various connectivity services to facilitate and foster the digital businesses of our customers. These data centers provide carrier neutral connectivity and multiple custom-made services for enterprise clients throughout the Asia Pacific region. With the capabilities of this network, we are able to provide integrated data storage solutions to companies in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Timor Leste.

Transmission Network

In 2020, we focused on the reinforcement of our domestic backbone network reliability and continued developing our broadband network, which serves as the backbone for our entire network infrastructure. Our backbone telecommunications network consists of transmission networks, switching facilities and core routers, which connect multiple access nodes. The transmission links between nodes and switching facilities comprise a terrestrial transmission network, in particular fiber optic, microwave and submarine cable systems, as well as satellite transmission networks and other transmission technologies. During the COVID-19 outbreak, data traffic significantly increased due to the implementation of various measures for ensuring the health and safety of the public, such as teleworking and learning from home. We took preemptive steps to ensure the reliability of our network and limit congestion issues, in particular in urban areas. We did so by increasing our network capacity, prioritizing sensitive areas to ensure they would not suffer from disruptions (certain key state agencies or ministries for instance, and key backbone connection links within our network), allocating more resources to monitor our network, either from our integrated operation centers or by sending teams of technicians on the field for controlling the physical integrity of our systems and the existence of potential intrusions. We believe our pro-active approach has been installed.

successful in avoiding significant disruptions, slow data traffic and congestion, despite practical difficulties related to the implementation of certain restrictions on domestic travel and other measures we implemented to protect our workforce during the COVID-19 outbreak, such as social distancing, limitations on the number of staff working together in one location at any given time and shorter working hours.

Communications Cable System

Our transmission network comprises 27 backbone rings in Indonesia with an aggregate capacity of 129,600 Gbps as of December 31, 2020. As of December 31, 2020, we operated a fiber optic backbone network totaling 103,235 km domestically (compared to 100,069 km as at December 31, 2019). Our domestic fiber optic backbone network is supplemented by an international fiber optic backbone network totaling 64,700 km.

Throughout 2019, we worked to deploy several submarine cable systems in order to strengthen our fiber optic backbone. In the west of Indonesia, we have completed the deployment of the SLM (Sabang-Lhokseumawe-Medan), a submarine cable system which connects the Sabang-Lhokseumawe cable system and the Lhokseumawe-Medan cable system, with a total length of 632.12 km, while in the east of Indonesia we are deploying the PATARA (Papua Utara) submarine cable system which will connect Sentani and Sarmi with a total length of 283 km. In Kalimantan, we have completed the deployment of the MATANUSA (Mangkajang-Tawao-Nunukan-Sangatta) cable system with a total length 673 km. These three additional submarine cable systems (SLM, PATARA and MATANUSA) are fully operational. We continue to progress on the deployment of our fiber optic backbone in eastern Indonesia. We are progressing on the deployment of our PATARA-2 submarine cable which will connect Sarmi and Waisei, with a total length of 1,126 km. In Sulawesi, we are progressing on the deployment of the LUMORI (Luwuk-Morowali-Kendari) submarine cable which will connect Luwuk, Bonepute, Kolaka and Kendari, with a total length of 436 km. The deployment of LUMORI is expected to be ready for service by the second quarter of 2021, while PATARA-2 is expected to be ready for service by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. These two submarine cables will improve Telkom’s transportation network.

We also intend to leverage Indonesia's strategic geographic location and to provide an alternative direct broadband connection between Europe, Asia and America as we completed the deployment of the IGG cable system in 2020. The IGG cable system connects two major submarine cable systems, namely the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) and, the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable systems. The IGG cable system also connects 12 major cities within Indonesia, including Batam, Jakarta, Surabaya and Manado, spanning a length of 5,403 km. This cable system increases our domestic traffic capacity and ability to offer broadband services. We completed the construction of this cable system in December 2018.

Satellites

In 2020, we operated three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and Merah Putih satellite.

The Telkom-2 satellite operates at orbital slot 157 E and its design life ended in December 2020.The Telkom-2 satellite has a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 24.00 TPE) with coverage over Indonesia and South Asia. Following an assessment from its manufacturer, Telkom-2's operational life could be extended beyond December 2020 and we expect to operate this satellite until May 2021. Upon reaching the end of its design life, we had already migrated all critical traffic to other Telkom's resources and, since then, only non-critical traffic has been loaded onto Telkom-2. We have optimized our existing capacity to accommodate the traffic from Telkom-2 and we have already secured increased lease capacity from other satellites, should we need it.

The Telkom-3S satellite was launched in February 2017 and began operations in April 2017. We have located the Telkom-3S satellite at orbital slot 118 E. The Telkom-3S satellite has a capacity of 42 transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 49.00 TPE) consisting of: (i) 24 standard C-band transponders; (ii) 8 extended C-band transponders; and (iii) 10 Ku-band transponders, which would have coverage over Indonesia.

In addition, we have launched the Merah Putih satellite in August 2018 as a replacement for the Telkom-1 satellite. It began commercial operations in September 2018, and has a capacity of 60 transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 60.00 TPE) consisting of: (i) 24 standard C-band transponders which have coverage over South East Asia; (ii) 24 standard C-band transponders which would have coverage over South Asia; and (iii) 12 extended C-band transponders, which would have coverage over South East Asia. All of our satellites are controlled from a main control station in Cibinong, Bogor in West Java. To ensure the continuity of services, we operate a backup control station in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.

We also lease 52.38 TPE (transponder equivalent to 36 MHz) from the following satellites: Apstar-5C HTS (138 E) in the amount of 32.23 TPE, Apstar-9 (142 E) in the amount of 0.72 TPE, Chinasat-11 (98 E) in the amount of 1.97 TPE, Eutelsat 172B (172 E) in the amount of 2.0 TPE, JCSAT 4B (124 E) in the amount of 1.59 TPE, JCSAT 5A (132 E) in the amount of 1.79 TPE, Measat-3B (91.4 E) in the amount of 8.0 TPE, MySat (142 E) in the amount 0.21 TPE, Nusantara Satu (146 E) in the amount of 2.66 TPE, and other satellites in the aggregate amount of 1.22 TPE.

We plan to launch a High Throughput Satellite (HTS) by December 31, 2024. Such technology is suitable to serve satellite broadband subscribers, covering the C band and Ku band frequency bands in the 113 E slot orbit. If we are successful, we expect this new satellite will help Telkomsat achieve a leading position among regional satellite service providers.

International Networks

We continue to develop our international network infrastructure in order to support our international expansion strategy and vision to be the "King of Digital in the Region." We operate international gateways in Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya to route outgoing and incoming calls on our IDD service ("007" and "01017"). We also operate a voice gateway in Singapore and Hong Kong to offer voice services from or to any countries. As of December 31, 2020, we owned and operated an international fiber optic backbone network totaling 64,700 km.

We own global submarine cable infrastructure that connects Europe, Asia and America through submarine cable system such as the Thailand-Indonesia-Singapore (TIS), two routes of the Batam-Singapore Cable System (BSCS), Dumai-Malacca Cable System (DMCS), Asia-America Gateway (AAG), Southeast Asia-Japan Cable System (SJC), the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) submarine cable system, and the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US). We also operate the IGG submarine cable system to connect major cities in Indonesia with Asia, Europe and USA. The IGG also provides direct and fast connection (or "express connection") to connect our existing submarine cable system of SEA-ME-WE 5 to SEA-US.

Moreover, we also operate and have rights of use for fiber optic infrastructure totaling 134,040 km in aggregate under a permanent telecommunication lease agreement, together with other global submarine cable operators/consortiums. This includes: 10,000 km submarine cable of the Japan-U.S. Cable Network (JUS), 9,620 km of the Unity/EAC-Pacific network, 11,629 km of the FASTER network, 2,700 km submarine cable of EAC-C2C network, 2,700 km submarine cable of APCN-2 network, 6,500 km submarine cable of the Asia Pacific Gateway (APG) network, 7,000 km submarine cable of the Asia Submarine-cable Express (ASE)/Cahaya Malaysia network, 2,700 km submarine cable of the TGN-Intra Asia (TGN-IA) network, 20,000 km submarine cable of the Southeast Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE-4) network, 20,000 km submarine cable of the Asia Africa Europe-1 (AAE-1) network, 8,100 km submarine cable of the Bay of Bengal Gateway (BBG) network, 12,091 km submarine cable of the Imewe network, 15,000 km submarine cable of the Europe India Gateway (EIG) network, and 6,000 km submarine cable of the Hibernia Transatlantic network. In 2020, we deployed 3,250 km of submarine cable with the Southeast Asia-Japan Cable 2 (SJC2) consortium.

To support our international services for both voice and data, Telin operates 58 points of presence in various parts of the world, including 24 points of presence in Asia and the Middle East (nine points of presence in Indonesia used for supporting the international network, four points of presence in Singapore, four points of presence in Hong Kong, two points of presence in Kuala Lumpur, one point of presence in each of Dili, Tokyo, Taipei, Yangon and Dubai), 20 points of presence in Europe (one point of presence in each of London, Manchester, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Marseille, Paris, Stockholm, Luxemburg, Milan, Warsaw, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Madrid, Sofia, Vienna, Dublin, Bucharest, Prague, and Edinburgh, 14 points of presence in the United States and Canada (one point of presence in each of Montreal and Toronto, two points of presence in Los Angeles and one point of presence in each of Palo Alto, Ashburn, San Jose, New York, Guam, Hawaii, Seattle, Miami, San Francisco, and Atlanta)).

Overview of Telecommunications Services Rates

Under the Telecommunications Law and Government Regulation No.52/2000, tariffs for operating telecommunications network and/or services are determined by providers based on the tariff type, structure and with respect to the price cap formula set by the Government.

a.           Fixed line telephone tariffs

Under MoCI Regulation No.15/2008, the tariff structure for basic telephony services connected through fixed line network comprised the following fees:

activation fee;

monthly subscription charges;

usage charges; and

additional facilities fee.

b.           Mobile cellular telephone tariffs

On April 7, 2008, the MoCI issued Regulation No.09/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2008, (on mechanism to determine tariffs of telecommunications services connected through mobile cellular network) ("MoCI Regulation No.9/2008") which provides guidelines to determine cellular tariffs with a formula consisting of network element cost and retail services activity cost. Under MoCI Regulation No.9/2008, cellular tariffs for the operation of telecommunications services connected through mobile cellular network consist of the following:

basic telephony services tariff;

roaming tariff; and/or

multimedia services tariff

with the following traffic structure:

additional facilities fee.

c.           Interconnection tariffs

Based on letter No.118/KOMINFO/DJPPI/PI.02.04/01/2014 of the DGPI, the DGPI required our Company and Telkomsel to submit Reference Interconnection Offer ("RIO") proposals to the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Body ("ITRB") for evaluation on an annual basis. Subsequently, the ITRB in its letters No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 approved our Company's and Telkomsel's RIO revisions and approved an SMS interconnection tariff at Rp24 per SMS. On January 18, 2017, ITRB in its letters No.20/BRTI/DPI/I/2017 and No.21/BRTI/DPI/I/2017, decided to use the interconnection tariff based on the Company and Telkomsel's RIO in 2014 until the new interconnection tariff is set.

70


d.           Network lease tariffs

Through MoCI Regulation No.03/PER/M.KOMINFO/1/2007 on Network Lease ("MoCI Regulation No.03/2007"), the Government regulated the form, type, tariff structure and tariff formula for services related to network leases. Pursuant to MoCI Regulation No.03/2007, the Director General of Post and Telecommunication issued Decree No.115 of 2008 which stated its agreement on Agreement on Network Lease Service Type Document, Network Lease Service Tariff, Available Capacity of Network Lease Service, Quality of Network Lease Service, and Provision Procedure of Network Lease Service in 2008 Owned by Dominant Network Lease Service Provider in conformity with the Company's proposal.

e.           Tariffs for other services

The tariffs for satellite lease, telephony services, and other multimedia are determined by the service provider by taking into account the expenditures and market price. The Government only determines the tariff formula for basic telephony services. There is no stipulation for the tariff of other services.

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

We have implemented a comprehensive marketing and promotional strategy to bolster our brand and to increase sales, including through digital marketing and the development of our product and service distribution channels. To increase sales, we also use above and below the line marketing channels to promote our services to certain parties and communities. We also continue to place advertisement in printed and electronic media and implement marketing methods such as point of sales broadcasting as well as promotion and sponsorship events.

We continue to implement our marketing and promotional strategy as well as our customer services to be in line with the characteristics of our businesses, products and services, as well as customers' preferences. The following provides a description of our marketing and promotional strategies per customer segment.

Mobile Customers

For our mobile customer segment, in 2020 we focused our marketing strategy on targeting specific customer segments and personalizing offerings delivered through digital channels for efficient implementation. Telkomsel focused on finding the right balance between market share growth, revenue mix and profitability. It launched initiatives to increase its offering of premium products that usually carry higher prices and ensure its products meet customers' needs and expectations. Telkomsel also focused on improving payload growth and acquiring new data users while continuing to support legacy product usage. To stimulate higher data and digital products usage, Telkomsel continued partnering with several parties to enrich contents available from existing platforms and continued to offer its "more for more" program whereby customers who subscribe for more expensive data packages get attractive add-ons and features, which we expect will ultimately drive value creation and maintain stable ARPU, especially in challenging circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we launched our Ketengan (small batches) package for users who want to opt for data service for use of specific applications and our unlimited package to leverage our strong network capability and taking into consideration our customers' needs in a challenging macro-economic environment in the aftermath of the COVID-19 outbreak, provide valuable products and services for improving customer engagement and loyalty. Our efforts to maintain stable ARPU include providing digital lifestyle and digital payment services which we provide as mobile-based digital life services.

71


In 2020, we continued to introduce new products and to revamp our mobile package options in order to appeal to our various groups of customers. We continued offering our prepaid service by.U that we launched in 2019. This service bundle targets young users and offers a "customer-centric" experience to customers as they are free to choose from a wide variety of services. To strengthen the positioning of our MAXStream video platform in the video streaming industry, we partner with video content providers to enrich our content available from our video streaming platform. In 2019, we published our second video game, Lord of Estera, which is available from Telkomsel and Langit Musik, a streaming service. In 2020, we published three new games: Rise of Nowlin, Kolak Express 3 and Three Kingdoms: Quest of Infinity, all available on Telkomsel Dunia Games. Telkomsel also enriched its contents and services to improve its customers' experience, for instance with greater access to Langit Musik and a choice of numerous ring back tones.We also increased opportunities for customers to use LinkAja, including extending the ability to use LinkAja to non-subscribers and collaborating with additional partners such as taxi services, petrol stations and food and beverage operators for the use of LinkAja as payment. In 2020, Telkomsel also made an investment in Gojek, a leading on-demand and payment platform in Southeast Asia to deepen the collaboration between the two companies for accelerating the transition of Indonesia towards digitalization.As of December 31, 2020, we had 169.5 million cellular subscribers, comprising 163.0 million prepaid subscribers and 6.5 million postpaid subscribers and 115.9 million mobile broadband customers.

Consumer Customers

In 2020, IndiHome was our main producttargeting the consumer customer market. Since 2019, our consumer segment has been focusing on apartment and premium customers, who used to fall under our enterprise unit, in addition to its traditional purely residential customer base. In 2020, we enhanced our services offered to this wider customer base in terms of quality and dispatching technicians on-site to improve our customers' experience (this service being available only in certain locations as at the date hereof). We have also developed a multi-retail service provider partnership model for our consumer customers who have built their own fiber infrastructure in apartment complexes or condominiums, for instance. This partnership model allows us to offer ICT management services to premium customers and that we can provide IndiHome services using the fiber infrastructure installed and operated by such multi-retail service providers.

With various marketing strategies, from discount to value innovation, we are able to offer products which we believe offer attractive value. We offer these products through various sales channels, including digital channels and carry out campaigns and year-round promotions, especially during festive campaigns. Our promotions and campaigns included the following in 2020:

Wujudkan Rumah Ceria 2020 campaign: IndiHome's campaign to celebrate the New Year of 2020. IndiHome carried out a series of promotional activities such as giving a 10%-discount to customers subscribing for the minipack IndiKorea, Dynasty 2 and IndiJapan minipacks, along with lucky draws.

We also intensified our efforts to provide tailored service to customers by using customer profiles created through the compilation of customer data to personalize services and offer products which may be attractive to customers based on their profile. We also rely on an end-to-end traceable customer relationship management process, which allows us to identify and rectify problems as they happen, rather than waiting for customers to alert us to such issues. In doing so, we proactively solve problems before customers are inconvenienced.

As of December 31, 2020, we had 9.1 million fixed wireline subscribers along with 8.0 million fixed broadband IndiHome subscribers.

Enterprise Customers

For our enterprise customers, we have been implementing a marketing strategy to attract high-end market enterprise customers using strategic key account management with the aim of improving our relationship with customers through a cooperative process in designing services customized for strategic accounts. We also have a transformative digital marketing strategy which comprises: (i) a governmental initiative that seeks to foster the use of digital technologies, under which we aim to become the Government's strategic ICT partner by collaborating with the Government on strategic ICT mega-deals that focus on the digital customer experience; (ii) an end-to-end digital ecosystem initiative that synergistically leverages our capabilities for targeted companies, under which we market end-to-end digital ICT solutions to our enterprise customers which provide customized and reliable solutions for each of our customers, and (iii) the build-the-nation digital SME initiative, under which we market basic ICT solutions for connectivity services and solution-oriented packages to SMEs in Indonesia through the optimization of a domestically-developed digital ecosystem, useful applications and content, and SME customer experience.

In 2020, our sales strategy comprised providing access to: (i) Account Managers for the large enterprise segment (the Account Manager is meant to serve as a single point of interaction to provide end-to-end service to customers, from initiation of the relationship to after-sales services) by leveraging end-to-end digitalization with an application-based process, (ii) Government Relationship Officers for the Government, agencies and other similar customers to manage a close relationship with such customers for the whole year and increasing the quality of our services to encourage contract renewal, and (iii) Business Account Managers for medium-sized SME customers, and Tele Account Management (TAM) for the small-sized and micro SME segment served by a value-added reseller method supplemented by a reliable digital channel and advanced mobile applications, which provide additional products or services with the purchase of an initial or qualifying item.

Wholesale and International Business Customers

Our wholesale and international business customers are mainly domestic other license operators (OLO's), service providers, digital player, global wholesaler and carrier, and enterprises that are related to our product or services such as international data center or international connectivity (IPLC) besides retail customers in our international operation of mobile network operator (MNO) and mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).

For our wholesale and international business customers, we focus on: (i) offering attractive business schemes for our voice traffic portfolio to leverage such benefits to increase retail traffic, through the bundling of voice traffic products at competitive prices that are compatible with the quality of the service offered; (ii) improving services, such as quality and coverage, for international data center and connectivity customers; (iii) offering an end-to-end tower solution to customers both for core tower services such as "built to suit" (a tower rental service tailored to the preferred location and specifications of the first tenant or anchor tenant for the relevant tower), co-location and adjacent tower services such as site maintenance, and other related services; and (iv) exploring our regional market by providing submarine cable laying and maintenance services.

We also provide customer service management for wholesale and international customers through account managers, digital touch points, and 24-hour customer care support. We keep developing the capability and competency of our account management team to improve our capability to deliver excellent service and strong engagement with our customers. To get a better understanding of our customers' needs and feedback, we conduct surveys periodically through digital touch points and interviews, and their outcome generally result in new improvement programs.

73


Digital Service Customers

For our digital service customers, our marketing strategy focuses on strengthening and improving digital innovation, including by:

enriching digital content;

creating digital services with unique features;

improving brand, platform, operational, and customer experiences;

building digital business models to support Indonesia's digital economics;

leveraging our assets and inventory to obtain increasing insight into digital services and customer experience; and

growing the portfolio of our digital business through investment in digital startups in order to be a part of Indonesia's digital ecosystem.

We tailor our sales strategy to each particular digital business and our digital customers' needs. We offer customer care and channel management, including through contact centers, dedicated account management for large enterprises, websites, and social media.

Our digital service customers program focuses on leveraging IndiHome services, for instance by promoting the MyIndiHomeX application as a digital touch point for IndiHome’s customers and the Indibox as the source of value-added services (such as video contents, games, and other Google applications). GameQoo is a cloud gaming service and an add-on benefit to the IndiHome services. IndiHome Smart is an IoT home service that provides IndiHome users with consumer digital services.

Distribution Channels

The following are our primary distribution channels for our products and services:

Face-to-face customer service points include walk-in customer service points and mobile units, where customers have access to the full range of Telkom and Telkomsel's products and services, including billing, payment, subscription cancellation, promotion and complaint handling. Plasa Telkom outlets generally provide access to Telkom products and services and GraPARI centers generally provide access to Telkomsel products and services. In recent years, we have been introducing Telkomsel products at certain Plasa Telkom outlets and have established nine digital GraPARI outlets as of December 31, 2020, which offer both Telkom and Telkomsel products. As of December 31, 2020, we managed 383 Plasa Telkom outlets and 403 GraPARI centers in Indonesia, 19 international GraPARI centers (one in Hong Kong, three in Taiwan, and 15 in Timor Leste) and nine GraPARI Telkom Group centers, which provide the most comprehensive services for both retail and corporate customers of Telkom and Telkomsel. Several of our GraPARI centers operate on a 24-hour basis. As of December 31, 2020, we also operated 365 GraPARI mobile units and 896 IndiHome sales car units which are sales points located in vehicles which can travel to reach customers across the country.

74


Authorized dealers, retail outlets and modern channels are distribution outlets for Telkomsel products such as starterpacks, prepaid SIM cards and top-up vouchers. We operate an extensive network of authorized dealers and retail outlets across Indonesia. These dealers are non-exclusive, and they receive a discount on all of the products they receive. In 2020, we noticed a shift from traditional channels to modern channels due to the changing behaviors of consumers during the COVID-19 outbreak. More consumers sought to avoid or limit physical interactions or had to do so to comply with social distancing measures and guidelines. In doing this, they preferred transacting online, using the internet of dedicated mobile applications rather than transacting in traditional outlets. Digitalization and the implementation of digital and transformative strategies by various private companies and public institutions and agencies facilitates the increase in transaction volumes through modern channels, hence the rapid development of e-commerce, the fintech sector, e-money, and delivery services. Telkomsel has been monitoring those changes to adapt and redefine the key performance indicators it uses for rewarding partners and to assist them in optimizing their business models to increase sales.

Partnership Stores are extensions of our distribution channels, in cooperation with a variety of third party marketing outlets such as computer or electronic stores, banks through their ATM networks and others.

Contact centers are call centers that support our customers' ability to access certain of our products and services, including making billing enquiries, submitting complaints and accessing certain promotions and service features. We operate 24-hour contact center facilities in Semarang, Bandung and Malang (Indonesia).

Account Management Teams are teams that manage relationships and account portfolios of large enterprises, Government agencies, medium-scale businesses and wholesale customers.

Sales Specialists have deep product and technical knowledge in order to provide appropriate and effective recommendations and solutions to corporate customers who work together with our Account Managers.

Channel Partners serve as value added resellers that conduct sales and marketing activities to our enterprise customers to seek their specific requirements and to our retail customers to offer retail packages. We also engage third parties to conduct sales activities for retail customers at certain events.

Digital Touch Points are web and mobile application-based services which we provide to our IndiHome subscribers and corporate customers. We operate myIndiHome, a self-care mobile application-based service for IndiHome customers, which allows customers to register new subscriptions, manage payments and billing, report and monitor network problems, access video-on-demand services and manage customer reward programs. Telkomsel also offers MyTelkomsel, which is a self-care mobile application-based service for Telkomsel subscribers which provides information on services, allows purchase of packages and products as well as account management. For enterprise customers, we offer My Telkom Digital Solution (MyTDS), user-centric digital touch points that digitize and simplify business processes to increase our productivity and performance in providing services to our customers. MyTDS also enhances user experience for our Corporate Customers. Users interact with us on mobile applications and web platform. Users of MyTDS will soon be given access to our product catalog, generate a digital quotation, track delivery tickets, and allow customers to ask for support as they can report service disruptions using MyTDS to generate release tickets which create a record of the disruptions.

Websites, we operate www.telkom.co.id, www.telkomsel.com and www.telin.net, which enable our customers to access certain of our products and services. Available services include e-Billing, registration, collective billing registration and submission of complaints.

Social Media, we use social media, primarily Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, to enable customers to interact with us regarding our products and services.

We work towards creating a sustainable business and more broadly a sustainable society. Therefore, we have launched a number of initiatives relating to technology and digitalization, the protection of data and information, customer engagement, the development of talents and the promotion of a strong corporate culture that values sustainability. See also "— Business Overview — Strategy" above.

78


We monitor and strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations by promoting efficient uses of energy, increasing the use of renewable energy, water management and an eco-friendly corporate culture. For example, we are using equipment that helps us minimize our electricity consumption in our office buildings, such as LED lamps, reflective glass (to reduce incoming heat and the use of air conditioning), cooling system management, zoning lighting systems, capacitor banks to optimize electricity consumption, automatic devices to schedule time periods during which certain equipment do not need to operate (and consume electricity), and we also plan to install rooftop solar panels to increase our use of renewable energy in our office buildings. We have also implemented similar measures on our fixed network (for instance for optimizing the use of air conditioning in rooms which require fresh air to cool down certain equipment, using newer devices to decrease energy consumption, or increasing the use of renewable energy thanks to the installation of solar panels). We have also installed automatic water taps in most of our office buildings and use water from air conditioner condensation for reducing our water consumption. We have also implemented policies to incentivize our employees to use online dissemination of information (as opposed to hard copies), virtual meetings and other digital processes in an effort to decrease our paper consumption. Our subsidiary Telkomsel also incentivize customers to choose paperless bills.

We also invest in our employees and more broadly in digital talents within and outside the Telkom Group. We believe in an inclusive workplace and equal access to training and career opportunities, which helps us to recruit, motivate and further develop talented employees who can serve our customers with professionalism wherever we operate. We are committed to implementing labor practices based on international business norms and regulations. We support and respect human rights, gender equality and non-discriminatory social and corporate practices. We have female employees at all levels of our organization, including managerial positions, and we follow the principle of equal pay for equal work. We also support the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower's and the International Labor Organization's initiatives towards a child-labor-free Indonesia. A decent and safe workplace is one of the key factors that affect employee performance. Therefore, we strive to create a conducive work atmosphere by providing the latest digital-based work facilities that allow employees to be mobile and collaborate optimally. Employee workspaces are equipped with various facilities to make it easier to work and interact with others comfortably and safely. Our Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment Management System is designed to reduce the risk of work accidents.  

As regards confidential and personal data protection, since 2014, our Cyber Security Operation Center has been operating with teams working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to protect confidential data and information from misappropriation and misuse by anticipating and promptly responding to cyber-attacks and other security threats. Effective information sharing among teams and departments are key to the prompt monitoring and detection of such threats, effective incident response management, vulnerability assessments and instilling cyber-security awareness among all employees and partners. We also have internal policies, procedures and guidelines in place to increase cyber-security awareness among our employees, for instance on the use of strong passwords for accessing their corporate account or accounts and internal databases, restricted information and data or applications, enabling multi-factor authentication features where available, and regularly updating our employees on existing or past cyber-attacks, best practices (such as how to handle phishing emails). Our IT risk management system is periodically reviewed and certified by an independent consultant and we conduct security checks on our IT infrastructure on a daily basis. We organize training sessions and programs focusing on cyber-security for our employees which allow our employees to obtain various levels of certifications which further allows us to efficiently organize our response in case of cyber-attacks or if a vulnerability has been identified in our systems by mobilizing our employees with the most relevant skill set. Our senior management is involved in formulating our cyber-security strategy, related policies and overseeing their implementation.

We also engage with the communities in which we operate through various partnership programs and initiatives, such as our "internet for education" program and sociodigipreneurship incubation program. Consistent with the Government's initiatives to continue infrastructure development (including through investments in internet networks) in rural areas, we provide free internet access to communities located in areas with weak or deficient internet access, often located in rural areas and less developed provinces of Indonesia. Our "internet for education" program focuses on providing internet access, Wi-Fi devices and computers to such communities so that to allow them to learn online. Our sociodigipreneurship incubation program seeks to foster talents (including in vocational schools, other students and employees) and help them develop entrepreneurship, innovation in the digital space, and more particularly find solutions to social issues using digital tools and digitalization.

79


For 2020, we invested approximately Rp397.1 billion in such social responsibility and partnership programs throughout Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also sourced and distributed personal protective equipment and medical devices (free of charge) in various communities.

As another example of our corporate culture, in support of the Government's programs and initiatives to contain the spread and alleviate the consequences of COVID-19, all our Directors and Commissioners donated their religious holiday allowance (Tunjangan Hari Raya) in 2020.

The Telecommunications Industry in Indonesia

The Indonesian economy recorded a GDP contraction of 2.07% in 2020(computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. GDP attributable to the information and communication sector, however, increased by 10.58% in 2020. This growth demonstrates changes in behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, as companies, agencies and individuals increased their demand for information and communication services, in particular as more and more people worked or studied from home.

Indonesia's telecommunications industry has been experiencing advancement in recent years, primarily driven by growth in fixed and mobile broadband subscriptions. The main drivers behind the growth are increased data usage with greater affordability, service improvement and smartphone penetration. The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services has been continuing, supported by cheaper smartphones as well as a growing youth segment. Data traffic has grown, however, SMS and voice service traffic has decreased significantly. Over The Top applications have become part of Indonesian life (including voice and video calls) as due to advances in such applications, they are now easier to use and offer improved quality of service. As a result, customers have replaced the usage of legacy SMS and voice services with Over The Top applications, which has resulted in a steeper decline of the legacy business. The rise of the digital economy has been embraced by Indonesian people across the socioeconomic spectrum, which continues to cause profound changes in economic activities. The pace of such changes has increased in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented by the Government and private sector players.

The telecommunications industry, especially the mobile segment, has been characterized by increased competition in recent years, particularly as operators have been offering promotions which include bonus data allowances in order to attract new customers. Customers have become sensitive to data pricing, which has led to lower margins for telecommunications operators. The ensuing heightened price competition for data services in Indonesia during the first half of 2019 brought significant adverse financial consequences for telecommunications operators, leading to a subtle decline of pricing for a more reasonable level by the end of 2019. This decline in prices, in particular for mobile data services, continued in 2020.

Based on our internal calculation and publicly available data, the penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is quite high, is excess of 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly limited. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, representing a 4.6% increase from approximately 341.1 million cellular subscribers as of December 31, 2019. By subscriber numbers, based on publicly available data disclosed by market players and our own internal data, the three largest cellular operators in Indonesia are Telkomsel, Indosat and XL Axiata, which collectively accounted for more than 95% of the market share based on the estimated number of total subscribers as of December 31, 2020. The SIM card registration requirements that ended March 31, 2018 resulted in a significant decrease in the number of mobile subscribers at the end of 2018 of 21.8%, leading to a small growth in the number of subscribers in 2019. The impact of such registration requirements on the number of subscribers faded in 2020. The number of subscribers slightly increased in 2020. As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with 169.5 million cellular subscribers, which represented a 0.9% decrease in the number of cellular subscribers from December 31, 2019. This slight decrease was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had a negative impact on the overall Indonesian economy and individuals' purchasing power. In addition, we were and are still subject to intense competition in our industry.

80


Data consumption in the mobile segment continued to increase, and it is expected that the consumption level per user will continue to grow from the current average data consumption per user. Such growth in data consumption will require significant capital expenditure in order to provide the necessary increase in capacity and coverage to accommodate such growth. The MoCI has publicly announced a restructuring plan for spectrum allocation among telecommunication operators to facilitate the transition from 3G and 4G to 5G. The scheduled migration from analog TV to digital TV will free up a 112 MHz bandwidth in the 700 MHz spectrum which is suitable for use of 5G in 2022. This additional spectrum available for re-allocation and other spectrum available as a result of the restructuring plan, once completed, will empower MNOs to strengthen and maximize the quality of 4G LTE and develop their offering of 5G services to their respective customers, especially in areas where data service capacity is dense. Wider spectrum bandwidth allows more efficient signal transmission for better coverage with fewer transmitters. Moreover, it also enables MNOs to provide higher speed and capacity to deliver a better digital lifestyle experience to all Indonesians.

Data is the main revenue driver for telecommunications companies, with significant increases in traffic volumes projected for the near future, driven primarily by streaming of HD/Ultra HD video, video on demand, gaming and an increase in network-connected devices that need fixed and mobile connections. To support the expected increase in traffic, telecommunications companies will need to invest in rollout of additional BTS and will thus require supplemental tower infrastructure, either in the form of macro or micro towers. Data traffic growth will be supported by 4G technology and telecommunications companies have begun deploying 4G BTS throughout Indonesia. Telecommunications companies have widespread 3G/4G coverage across Java and adjacent islands, where they typically build a wide thin layer of coverage and then invest in capacity to meet demand as subscriber adoption and usage increases. As a result of lower margins for telecommunications companies caused by the shift in focus to data business from legacy services, cost savings have become imperative, and as a result tower lease rates have come under pressure from telecommunications companies requesting lower lease rates.

The demand for fixed broadband services in Indonesia continued to increase in 2020, especially in large cities, marked by an increase in total broadband subscribers, despite the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such increase in demand was primarily due to an increase in consumption driven by home entertainment that accelerated as a result of containment measures implemented in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak (such as working from home and school/studying from home). Indonesian users increasingly expect high-quality internet connectivity to their homes as evidenced by the level of investment made by the Government and private enterprises for the development of fiber optic networks. Currently, the national fixed broadband market is still dominated by a limited number of companies. We and First Media are the leading companies in the fixed broadband industry, followed by PT Link Net Tbk ("Link Net"), PT Supra Primatama Nusantara ("BizNet Networks"), PT MNC Kabel Mediacom ("MNC Vision") and PT Eka Mas Republik (an affiliate of Smartfren Telecom which operates under the "MyRepublic" brand), based on the number of subscribers and our internal estimates and information published by these companies. Given that obtaining licenses and "right of way" access to lay cables from local municipal governments remains time-consuming in Indonesia, barriers to entry in the market remain high. As of December 31, 2020, we had more than 8.0 million fixed broadband subscribers. However, given the low penetration of fixed broadband services in Indonesia, smaller players are aggressively expanding their coverage regions with intention of having an impact in selected targeted regions. In order to entice new subscribers, other operators have been offering pay-TV and TV-on-demand bundles, as well as packages with other value added services to further monetize their active subscribers. These offerings include services such as home security and smart home.

Competition

Business Competition Law

The Indonesian telecommunications sector is regulated by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, to facilitate the entry of new operators as well as to increase transparency and competition. The Telecommunications Law abolished the concept of "organizing entities" in the industry, which terminated the special status of Telkom and Indosat as the organizing bodies responsible for coordinating telecommunications services domestically and internationally. In order to increase competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among fellow telecommunications operators.

81


The Telecommunications Law is implemented through various Government regulations and ministerial regulations, including Government Regulation No.52/2000, MoCI Regulation No.1/PER/M.KOMINFO/01/2010 (on provision of telecommunications networks), as lastly amended by MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2015 on Implementation of Telecommunication Network and MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services in the Sector of Communications and Informatics, and amended further by MoCI Regulation No. 7 of 2019 ("MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, as amended") ("MoCI Regulation No.1/2010, as amended"), Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM33 of 2004 (on monitoring of fair competition of the fixed network and basic telephone service operations) ("Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004") and Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM.4 of 2001 (on the national basic technical plan 2000 for the national telecommunications development) ("National Technical Telecommunications Plan"). The National Technical Telecommunications Plan has been amended several times, most recently by MoCI Regulation No.14 of 2018 on Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications Plan ("MoCI Regulation No.14/2018"). Along with the Telecommunications Law, the National Technical Telecommunications Plan determines the basic vision for the development of Indonesia's telecommunications regulator.

The Government encourages healthy competition and transparency in the telecommunications sector, even though the Government does not prevent operators from obtaining a dominant position or increasing their dominance in the market through specific regulations. Nevertheless, the Government prohibits market leading operators from abusing their dominant position.

Competition in the telecommunications sector, like all Indonesian business sectors, is also governed more generally by the Business Competition Law. The Business Competition Law prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

The Business Competition Law is implemented by various regulations, including Government Regulation No.57/2010 (on mergers and acquisitions potentially causing monopolistic practices or unfair business practices) ("GR No.57/2010"). GR No.57/2010 permits voluntary consultation with the KPPU prior to a merger or acquisition, which will result in the KPPU issuing a non-binding opinion. GR No.57/2010 also requires that a mandatory report be made to the KPPU after a merger or acquisition is completed if the transaction exceeds certain asset or sales value thresholds. Further, on October 14, 2019, KPPU issued Regulation No. 3 of 2019 on Assessment of Merger or Consolidation of Business Entities or Share Acquisitions of Companies ("KPPU Regulation No.3/2019"). Under KPPU Regulation No.3/2019, asset acquisitions which meet the set regulatory threshold must be reported to KPPU. In addition, as at the date hereof, a new implementing regulation relating to the Business Competition Law is still being prepared by the Government following the adoption of the Job Creation Law. Such governmental regulation will, among other things, determine the scope and amounts of sanctions imposed on parties responsible for breaching the Business Competition Law.

Cellular

We operate our cellular service business through our 65% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel.

As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with approximately 169.5 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 58.9% based on our internal estimate of number of total subscribers. We believe the next largest providers were Indosat and XL Axiata, based on number of subscribers as of December 31, 2020.Several other smaller operators also provide cellular services in Indonesia, including Hutchison, which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand, and Smartfren Telecom, which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

The penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is high, well over 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly difficult. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, compared to approximately 341.1 million as of December 31, 2019. This 4.6% increase was primarily due to effective marketing campaigns used in the cellular industry with initiatives to gain and retain customers. The Government's reinforcement of the prepaid SIM registration policy, as customers no longer have the freedom of accumulating several numbers provided by various operators, had initially caused a slight reduction in the customer base and the number of starterpacks across the industry because customers had to select their preferred operator and phone number. Consequently, we noticed that customers tended to remain with their respective chosen operators for a longer period of time as a result of this policy.The impact of this policy, however, faded in 2020 and had only an insignificant impact on our customer base. The Government's registration policy, however, has resulted in a better-quality customer base with a higher proportion of active subscribers and more efficient SIM card production costs. Due to a reduction in the number of starterpacks, operators can provide better quality services to customers. Additionally, operators are focusing more on offering renewal promotions than on new starterpack promotions. We believe the registration policy, assuming continued implementation, will also have positive long-term impact and support the emergence of healthier competition in the industry.

The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services continues to develop, driven by cheaper prices of smartphones as well as the rapidly growing youth customer segment. Data traffic has grown significantly, while SMS service traffic has decreased. Since 2017, Telkomsel has seen a steep decrease in voice usage. Minutes of usage per mobile subscriber also started to decrease in the second half of 2017. These trends continued in 2019 and 2020 and are likely to continue in the forseeable future, as they are attributable to the substitution of traditional voice and SMS services to Over the Top based calling and messaging services as smartphone penetration in Indonesia has risen.

Fixed Services

We compete with other major fixed broadband service providers with brands such as First Media, BizNetHome, MNC Play and MyRepublic. Of our major competitors, First Media has the largest number of customers. In recent years, it has been facing competition from MNC Play and MyRepublic that primarily target the affluent household market in Greater Jakarta. BizNet is competitive in the corporate segment, particularly in Java and Bali. On the other hand, our IndiHome service focuses on the mass market across Indonesia, and our focus in recent years has been to upgrade DSL customers to fiber based broadband in order to deliver better quality of service and expand our digital services. We have faced increasing competition since 2019, including from a new entrant, a subsidiary of the electricity company Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) that started offering internet and TV services in 2019 through its ICON+ subsidiary. Supported by PLN, this new market entrant benefits from a wide coverage outside Java. In 2020, we have seen increased demand for fixed broadband services because the COVID-19 outbreak has increased the pace of digitalization in all aspects of life. Our main competitors have increasingly engaged in marketing activities and network expansions in urban and rural areas of Indonesia in 2020 and sought to capture such increase in demand. A number of local competitors emerged in 2020 as increased demand for fixed broadband services resulted in unserved local markets, such as Jets in West Java and Desfiber in Central Java.

In 2018,  we2020, our sales strategy focused on the developmentimplementing a dynamic pricing of our broadband network, which serves as the backboneproducts and services allowing our selling prices to better reflect local conditions in different areas of Indonesia, while providing our customers with superior bundled products and faster and enhanced services. We also continued our points program (initiated in 2019) for our entire network infrastructure. Our backbone telecommunication network consists of transmission networks, switching facilitiessalespeople to incentivize greater sales activity on weekends and core routers, which connect multiple access nodes. The transmission links between nodesholidays and switching facilities comprise a terrestrial transmission network, in particular fiber optic, microwave and submarine cable systems, as well as satellite transmission networks and other transmission technologies.  

Communications Cable System 

Our transmission network had 24 backbone rings in Indonesia with an aggregate capacity of 128,000 Gbps as of December 31, 2018. As of December 31, 2018, we operated a fiber optic backbone network totaling 96,952 km.

Throughout 2018, we workedimprove convenience to deploy several submarine cable systems in order to strengthen our fiber optic backbone. In the west of Indonesia, we are progressing on the deployment of the SLM (Sabang-Lhokseumawe-Medan), a submarine cable system which will connect the Sabang-Lhokseumawe cable system and the Lhokseumawe-Medan cable system, with a total length of 641.82 km, while in the east of Indonesia we also deploying the PATARA (Papua Utara) submarine cable system which will connect Sentani and Sarmi with a total length of 347.16 km. In Kalimantan, we are progressing on the deployment of the MATANUSA (Mangkajang-Tawao-Nunukan-Sangatta) cable system with a total length 729.63 km. These three additional submarine cable systems (SLM, PATARA and MATANUSA) are expected to be ready for service in the first half of 2019.

We also intend to leverage Indonesia's strategic geographic location and to provide an alternative direct broadband connection between Europe, Asia and America by developing the IGG cable system. The IGG cable system is intended to connect two major submarine cable systems, namely the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 5 (SEA-ME-WE 5) and, the Southeast Asia-United States (SEA-US) submarine cable systems. The IGG cable system is also planned to connect 12 major cities within Indonesia, including Batam, Jakarta, Surabaya and Manado, spanning a length of 5,403 km. We expect this cable system to increase our domestic traffic capacity and broadband services. We completed the construction of this cable system in December 2018.

Satellites

We operate three satellites, namely Telkom-2, Telkom-3S and Merah Putih satellite.

The Telkom-2 satellite currently operates at orbital slot 157 E. We expect to operate the Telkom-2 satellite at such orbital slot for its remaining estimated operational life which ends in 2020. The Telkom-2 satellite has a capacity of 24 standard C-band transponders (which is equivalent to an aggregate of 24.00 TPE) with coverage over Indonesia and South Asia.

We monitor and strive to minimize the environmental impact of our operations by promoting efficient uses of energy, increasing the use of renewable energy, water management and an eco-friendly corporate culture. For example, we are using equipment that helps us minimize our electricity consumption in our office buildings, such as LED lamps, reflective glass (to reduce incoming heat and the use of air conditioning), cooling system management, zoning lighting systems, capacitor banks to optimize electricity consumption, automatic devices to schedule time periods during which certain equipment do not need to operate (and consume electricity), and we also plan to install rooftop solar panels to increase our use of renewable energy in our office buildings. We have also implemented similar measures on our fixed network (for instance for optimizing the use of air conditioning in rooms which require fresh air to cool down certain equipment, using newer devices to decrease energy consumption, or increasing the use of renewable energy thanks to the installation of solar panels). We have also installed automatic water taps in most of our office buildings and use water from air conditioner condensation for reducing our water consumption. We have also implemented policies to incentivize our employees to use online dissemination of information (as opposed to hard copies), virtual meetings and other digital processes in an effort to decrease our paper consumption. Our subsidiary Telkomsel also incentivize customers to choose paperless bills.

We also invest in our employees and more broadly in digital talents within and outside the Telkom Group. We believe in an inclusive workplace and equal access to training and career opportunities, which helps us to recruit, motivate and further develop talented employees who can serve our customers with professionalism wherever we operate. We are committed to implementing labor practices based on international business norms and regulations. We support and respect human rights, gender equality and non-discriminatory social and corporate practices. We have female employees at all levels of our organization, including managerial positions, and we follow the principle of equal pay for equal work. We also support the Indonesian Ministry of Manpower's and the International Labor Organization's initiatives towards a child-labor-free Indonesia. A decent and safe workplace is one of the key factors that affect employee performance. Therefore, we strive to create a conducive work atmosphere by providing the latest digital-based work facilities that allow employees to be mobile customer segment,and collaborate optimally. Employee workspaces are equipped with various facilities to make it easier to work and interact with others comfortably and safely. Our Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment Management System is designed to reduce the risk of work accidents.  

As regards confidential and personal data protection, since 2014, our Cyber Security Operation Center has been operating with teams working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to protect confidential data and information from misappropriation and misuse by anticipating and promptly responding to cyber-attacks and other security threats. Effective information sharing among teams and departments are key to the prompt monitoring and detection of such threats, effective incident response management, vulnerability assessments and instilling cyber-security awareness among all employees and partners. We also have internal policies, procedures and guidelines in 2018 we focusedplace to increase cyber-security awareness among our marketing strategy on improving profitability and increasing ARPU through healthier pricing;employees, for instance on the use of strong passwords for accessing their corporate account or accounts and internal databases, restricted information and data or applications, enabling multi-factor authentication features where available, and regularly updating our employees on existing or past cyber-attacks, best practices (such as how to handle phishing emails). Our IT risk management system is periodically reviewed and certified by an independent consultant and we conduct security checks on our IT infrastructure on a daily basis. We organize training sessions and programs focusing on cyber-security for our employees which allow our employees to obtain various levels of certifications which further allows us to efficiently organize our response in 2018, we introducedcase of cyber-attacks or if a "more for more" program, whereby customers who subscribe for more expensive data packages get attractive add-onsvulnerability has been identified in our systems by mobilizing our employees with the most relevant skill set. Our senior management is involved in formulating our cyber-security strategy, related policies and features. overseeing their implementation.

We also continuedengage with the communities in which we operate through various partnership programs and initiatives, such as our promotion"internet for education" program and sociodigipreneurship incubation program. Consistent with the Government's initiatives to continue infrastructure development (including through investments in internet networks) in rural areas, we provide free internet access to communities located in areas with weak or deficient internet access, often located in rural areas and less developed provinces of Indonesia. Our "internet for education" program focuses on providing internet access, Wi-Fi devices and computers to such communities so that to allow them to learn online. Our sociodigipreneurship incubation program seeks to foster talents (including in vocational schools, other students and employees) and help them develop entrepreneurship, innovation in the digital space, and more particularly find solutions to social issues using digital tools and digitalization.

For 2020, we invested approximately Rp397.1 billion in such social responsibility and partnership programs throughout Indonesia. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have also sourced and distributed personal protective equipment and medical devices (free of charge) in various communities.

As another example of our corporate culture, in support of the Government's programs and initiatives to contain the spread and alleviate the consequences of COVID-19, all our Directors and Commissioners donated their religious holiday allowance (Tunjangan Hari Raya) in 2020.

The Telecommunications Industry in Indonesia

The Indonesian economy recorded a GDP contraction of 2.07% in 2020(computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. GDP attributable to the information and communication sector, however, increased by 10.58% in 2020. This growth demonstrates changes in behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic, as companies, agencies and individuals increased their demand for information and communication services, in particular as more and more people worked or studied from home.

Indonesia's telecommunications industry has been experiencing advancement in recent years, primarily driven by growth in fixed and mobile package optionsbroadband subscriptions. The main drivers behind the growth are increased data usage with greater affordability, service improvement and smartphone penetration. The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services has been continuing, supported by cheaper smartphones as well as a growing youth segment. Data traffic has grown, however, SMS and voice service traffic has decreased significantly. Over The Top applications have become part of Indonesian life (including voice and video calls) as due to advances in such applications, they are now easier to use and offer improved quality of service. As a result, customers have replaced the usage of legacy SMS and voice services with Over The Top applications, which has resulted in a steeper decline of the legacy business. The rise of the digital economy has been embraced by Indonesian people across the socioeconomic spectrum, which continues to cause profound changes in economic activities. The pace of such changes has increased in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and containment measures implemented by the Government and private sector players.

The telecommunications industry, especially the mobile segment, has been characterized by increased competition in recent years, particularly as operators have been offering promotions which include bonus data allowances in order to encourage existingattract new customers. Customers have become sensitive to data pricing, which has led to lower margins for telecommunications operators. The ensuing heightened price competition for data services in Indonesia during the first half of 2019 brought significant adverse financial consequences for telecommunications operators, leading to a subtle decline of pricing for a more reasonable level by the end of 2019. This decline in prices, in particular for mobile broadbanddata services, customerscontinued in 2020.

Based on our internal calculation and publicly available data, the penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is quite high, is excess of 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly limited. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, representing a 4.6% increase from approximately 341.1 million cellular subscribers as of December 31, 2019. By subscriber numbers, based on publicly available data disclosed by market players and our own internal data, the three largest cellular operators in Indonesia are Telkomsel, Indosat and XL Axiata, which collectively accounted for more than 95% of the market share based on the estimated number of total subscribers as of December 31, 2020. The SIM card registration requirements that ended March 31, 2018 resulted in a significant decrease in the number of mobile subscribers at the end of 2018 of 21.8%, leading to increase their usea small growth in the number of subscribers in 2019. The impact of such services. In addition, we continued to focusregistration requirements on promoting data package options which target the youth segment which we market under our Loop brand. Our efforts to increase our ARPU include providing digital lifestyle and digital payment services which we provide as mobile-based digital life services.

In 2018, we continued to introduce new products and to revamp our mobile package optionsnumber of subscribers faded in order to appeal to our various groups2020. The number of customers. For example, we introduced MAXStream, a video platform offering both free and paid content, as well Shellfire, a gaming platform which offers in-app purchase opportunities and Langitmusik, a streaming service. We alsosubscribers slightly increased opportunities for customers to use LinkAja, including extending ability to use LinkAja to non-subscribers and collaborating with additional partners such as taxi services, petrol stations and food and beverage operators for the use of LinkAja as payment.in 2020. As of December 31, 2018, we had 1632020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with 169.5 million cellular subscribers, including 157 million prepaidwhich represented a 0.9% decrease in the number of cellular subscribers from December 31, 2019. This slight decrease was primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic which had a negative impact on the overall Indonesian economy and individuals' purchasing power. In addition, we were and are still subject to intense competition in our industry.

Data consumption in the mobile segment continued to increase, and it is expected that the consumption level per user will continue to grow from the current average data consumption per user. Such growth in data consumption will require significant capital expenditure in order to provide the necessary increase in capacity and coverage to accommodate such growth. The MoCI has publicly announced a restructuring plan for spectrum allocation among telecommunication operators to facilitate the transition from 3G and 4G to 5G. The scheduled migration from analog TV to digital TV will free up a 112 MHz bandwidth in the 700 MHz spectrum which is suitable for use of 5G in 2022. This additional spectrum available for re-allocation and other spectrum available as a result of the restructuring plan, once completed, will empower MNOs to strengthen and maximize the quality of 4G LTE and develop their offering of 5G services to their respective customers, especially in areas where data service capacity is dense. Wider spectrum bandwidth allows more efficient signal transmission for better coverage with fewer transmitters. Moreover, it also enables MNOs to provide higher speed and capacity to deliver a better digital lifestyle experience to all Indonesians.

Data is the main revenue driver for telecommunications companies, with significant increases in traffic volumes projected for the near future, driven primarily by streaming of HD/Ultra HD video, video on demand, gaming and an increase in network-connected devices that need fixed and mobile connections. To support the expected increase in traffic, telecommunications companies will need to invest in rollout of additional BTS and will thus require supplemental tower infrastructure, either in the form of macro or micro towers. Data traffic growth will be supported by 4G technology and telecommunications companies have begun deploying 4G BTS throughout Indonesia. Telecommunications companies have widespread 3G/4G coverage across Java and adjacent islands, where they typically build a wide thin layer of coverage and then invest in capacity to meet demand as subscriber adoption and usage increases. As a result of lower margins for telecommunications companies caused by the shift in focus to data business from legacy services, cost savings have become imperative, and as a result tower lease rates have come under pressure from telecommunications companies requesting lower lease rates.

The demand for fixed broadband services in Indonesia continued to increase in 2020, especially in large cities, marked by an increase in total broadband subscribers, despite the economic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such increase in demand was primarily due to an increase in consumption driven by home entertainment that accelerated as a result of containment measures implemented in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak (such as working from home and school/studying from home). Indonesian users increasingly expect high-quality internet connectivity to their homes as evidenced by the level of investment made by the Government and private enterprises for the development of fiber optic networks. Currently, the national fixed broadband market is still dominated by a limited number of companies. We and First Media are the leading companies in the fixed broadband industry, followed by PT Link Net Tbk ("Link Net"), PT Supra Primatama Nusantara ("BizNet Networks"), PT MNC Kabel Mediacom ("MNC Vision") and PT Eka Mas Republik (an affiliate of Smartfren Telecom which operates under the "MyRepublic" brand), based on the number of subscribers and 5.4our internal estimates and information published by these companies. Given that obtaining licenses and "right of way" access to lay cables from local municipal governments remains time-consuming in Indonesia, barriers to entry in the market remain high. As of December 31, 2020, we had more than 8.0 million postpaid subscribers; outfixed broadband subscribers. However, given the low penetration of these 163 millionsfixed broadband services in Indonesia, smaller players are aggressively expanding their coverage regions with intention of having an impact in selected targeted regions. In order to entice new subscribers, other operators have been offering pay-TV and TV-on-demand bundles, as well as packages with other value added services to further monetize their active subscribers. These offerings include services such as home security and smart home.

Competition

Business Competition Law

The Indonesian telecommunications sector is regulated by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, to facilitate the entry of new operators as well as to increase transparency and competition. The Telecommunications Law abolished the concept of "organizing entities" in the industry, which terminated the special status of Telkom and Indosat as the organizing bodies responsible for coordinating telecommunications services domestically and internationally. In order to increase competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among fellow telecommunications operators.

81


The Telecommunications Law is implemented through various Government regulations and ministerial regulations, including Government Regulation No.52/2000, MoCI Regulation No.1/PER/M.KOMINFO/01/2010 (on provision of telecommunications networks), as lastly amended by MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2015 on Implementation of Telecommunication Network and MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services in the Sector of Communications and Informatics, and amended further by MoCI Regulation No. 7 of 2019 ("MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, as amended") ("MoCI Regulation No.1/2010, as amended"), Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM33 of 2004 (on monitoring of fair competition of the fixed network and basic telephone service operations) ("Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004") and Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM.4 of 2001 (on the national basic technical plan 2000 for the national telecommunications development) ("National Technical Telecommunications Plan"). The National Technical Telecommunications Plan has been amended several times, most recently by MoCI Regulation No.14 of 2018 on Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications Plan ("MoCI Regulation No.14/2018"). Along with the Telecommunications Law, the National Technical Telecommunications Plan determines the basic vision for the development of Indonesia's telecommunications regulator.

The Government encourages healthy competition and transparency in the telecommunications sector, even though the Government does not prevent operators from obtaining a dominant position or increasing their dominance in the market through specific regulations. Nevertheless, the Government prohibits market leading operators from abusing their dominant position.

Competition in the telecommunications sector, like all Indonesian business sectors, is also governed more generally by the Business Competition Law. The Business Competition Law prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

The Business Competition Law is implemented by various regulations, including Government Regulation No.57/2010 (on mergers and acquisitions potentially causing monopolistic practices or unfair business practices) ("GR No.57/2010"). GR No.57/2010 permits voluntary consultation with the KPPU prior to a merger or acquisition, which will result in the KPPU issuing a non-binding opinion. GR No.57/2010 also requires that a mandatory report be made to the KPPU after a merger or acquisition is completed if the transaction exceeds certain asset or sales value thresholds. Further, on October 14, 2019, KPPU issued Regulation No. 3 of 2019 on Assessment of Merger or Consolidation of Business Entities or Share Acquisitions of Companies ("KPPU Regulation No.3/2019"). Under KPPU Regulation No.3/2019, asset acquisitions which meet the set regulatory threshold must be reported to KPPU. In addition, as at the date hereof, a new implementing regulation relating to the Business Competition Law is still being prepared by the Government following the adoption of the Job Creation Law. Such governmental regulation will, among other things, determine the scope and amounts of sanctions imposed on parties responsible for breaching the Business Competition Law.

Cellular

We operate our cellular service business through our 65% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel.

As of December 31, 2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with approximately 169.5 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 58.9% based on our internal estimate of number of total subscribers. We believe the next largest providers were Indosat and XL Axiata, based on number of subscribers as of December 31, 2020.Several other smaller operators also provide cellular services in Indonesia, including Hutchison, which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand, and Smartfren Telecom, which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

82


The penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is high, well over 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly difficult. There were approximately 356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2020, compared to approximately 341.1 million as of December 31, 2019. This 4.6% increase was primarily due to effective marketing campaigns used in the cellular industry with initiatives to gain and retain customers. The Government's reinforcement of the prepaid SIM registration policy, as customers no longer have the freedom of accumulating several numbers provided by various operators, had initially caused a slight reduction in the customer base and the number of starterpacks across the industry because customers had to select their preferred operator and phone number. Consequently, we noticed that customers tended to remain with their respective chosen operators for a longer period of time as a result of this policy.The impact of this policy, however, faded in 2020 and had only an insignificant impact on our customer base. The Government's registration policy, however, has resulted in a better-quality customer base with a higher proportion of active subscribers and more efficient SIM card production costs. Due to a reduction in the number of starterpacks, operators can provide better quality services to customers. Additionally, operators are focusing more on offering renewal promotions than on new starterpack promotions. We believe the registration policy, assuming continued implementation, will also have positive long-term impact and support the emergence of healthier competition in the industry.

The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services continues to develop, driven by cheaper prices of smartphones as well as the rapidly growing youth customer segment. Data traffic has grown significantly, while SMS service traffic has decreased. Since 2017, Telkomsel has seen a steep decrease in voice usage. Minutes of usage per mobile subscriber also started to decrease in the second half of 2017. These trends continued in 2019 and 2020 and are likely to continue in the forseeable future, as they are attributable to the substitution of traditional voice and SMS services to Over the Top based calling and messaging services as smartphone penetration in Indonesia has risen.

Fixed Services

We compete with other major fixed broadband service providers with brands such as First Media, BizNetHome, MNC Play and MyRepublic. Of our major competitors, First Media has the largest number of customers. In recent years, it has been facing competition from MNC Play and MyRepublic that primarily target the affluent household market in Greater Jakarta. BizNet is competitive in the corporate segment, particularly in Java and Bali. On the other hand, our IndiHome service focuses on the mass market across Indonesia, and our focus in recent years has been to upgrade DSL customers were 107 million.to fiber based broadband in order to deliver better quality of service and expand our digital services. We have faced increasing competition since 2019, including from a new entrant, a subsidiary of the electricity company Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) that started offering internet and TV services in 2019 through its ICON+ subsidiary. Supported by PLN, this new market entrant benefits from a wide coverage outside Java. In 2020, we have seen increased demand for fixed broadband services because the COVID-19 outbreak has increased the pace of digitalization in all aspects of life. Our main competitors have increasingly engaged in marketing activities and network expansions in urban and rural areas of Indonesia in 2020 and sought to capture such increase in demand. A number of local competitors emerged in 2020 as increased demand for fixed broadband services resulted in unserved local markets, such as Jets in West Java and Desfiber in Central Java.

We operate an extensive network of authorized dealers and retail outlets across Indonesia. These dealers are non-exclusive, and they receive a discount on all of the products they receive.

Our "internet for education" program focuses on providing internet access, Wi-Fi devices and computers to such communities so that to allow them to learn online. Our sociodigipreneurship incubation program seeks to foster talents (including in vocational schools, other students and employees) and help them develop entrepreneurship, innovation in the digital space, and more particularly find solutions to social issues using digital tools and digitalization.

Data consumption in the mobile segment continued to increase, and it is expected that the consumption level per user will continue to grow from the current average data consumption per user. Such growth in data consumption will require significant capital expenditure in order to provide the necessary increase in capacity and coverage to accommodate such growth.During 2018, several The MoCI has publicly announced a restructuring plan for spectrum allocation among telecommunication operators began using additional frequencies which were acquired throughto facilitate the transition from 3G and 4G to 5G. The scheduled migration from analog TV to digital TV will free up a public auction process. Telkomsel won the auction for a 30112 MHz block on the 2,300 MHz band in October 2017, with two other operators (Indosat and Tri) winning auctions for frequencybandwidth in the 2,100700 MHz radio frequency band.spectrum which is suitable for use of 5G in 2022. This additional spectrum empowersavailable for re-allocation and other spectrum available as a result of the restructuring plan, once completed, will empower MNOs to strengthen and maximize the quality of 4G LTE and develop their offering of 5G services to their respective customers, especially in areas where data service capacity is dense. Wider additional spectrum bandwidth allows more efficient signal transmission for better coverage with fewer transmitters. However,Moreover, it also enables MNOs to provide higher speed and capacity to deliver a better digital lifestyle experience to all Indonesians.

Data is the main revenue driver for telecommunicationtelecommunications companies, with significant increases in traffic volumes projected for the near future, driven primarily by streaming of HD/Ultra HD video, video on demand, gaming and an increase in network-connected devices that need fixed and mobile connections. To support the expected increase in traffic, telecommunicationtelecommunications companies will need to invest in rollout of additional BTS and will thus require supplemental tower infrastructure, either in the form of macro or micro towers. Data traffic growth will be supported by 4G technology and telecommunicationtelecommunications companies have begun deploying 4G BTS throughout Indonesia. The 3G mobile technology is becoming outdated and as a result, Telkomsel recently stopped adding 3G BTS; XL Axiata and Indosat are expected to do the same. TelecommunicationTelecommunications companies currently have widespread 3G/4G coverage across Java and adjacent islands, where they typically build a wide thin layer of coverage and then invest in capacity to meet demand as subscriber adoption and usage increases. As a result of lower margins for telecommunicationtelecommunications companies caused by the shift in focus to data business from legacy services, cost savings have become imperative, and as a result tower lease rates have come under pressure from telecommunicationtelecommunications companies requesting lower lease rates.

The demand for fixed broadband services in Indonesia continued to increase in 2018,2020, especially in the large cities, marked by an increase in total broadband subscribers, despite the geographic challengeeconomic downturn caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such increase in demand was primarily due to an increase in consumption driven by home entertainment that accelerated as a result of connecting a population dispersed acrosscontainment measures implemented in connection with the Indonesian achipelago with fixed lines.COVID-19 outbreak (such as working from home and school/studying from home). Indonesian users increasingly expect high-quality Internetinternet connectivity to their homes as evidenced by the level of investment made by the Government and private enterprises for the development of fiber optic networks. Currently, the national fixed broadband market is still dominated by a limited number of companies. We and First Media are the leading companies in the fixed broadband industry, followed by PT Link Net Tbk ("Link Net"),PT Supra Primatama Nusantara ("BizNet Networks"), PT MNC Kabel Mediacom ("("MNC Play Media"Vision") and PT Eka Mas Republik (an affiliate of Smartfren Telecom which operates under the "MyRepublic" brand), based on the number of subscribers based onand our internal estimates and information published by these companies.companies. Given that obtaining licenceslicenses and "right of way" access to lay cables from local municipal governments remains time-consuming in Indonesia, barriers to entry in the market remain high. As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had more than 7.38.0 million fixed broadband subscribers. However, given the low penetration of fixed broadband services in Indonesia, smaller players are aggressively expanding their coverage regions with intention of having an impact in selected targeted regions. In order to entice new subscribers, other operators have been offering pay-TV and TV-on-demand bundles, as well as packages with other value added services to further monetize their active subscribers. These offerings include services such as home security and smart home.

Competition

Business Competition Law

The Indonesian telecommunications sector is regulated by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, to facilitate the entry of new operators as well as to increase transparency and competition. The Telecommunications Law abolished the concept of "organizing entities" in the industry, which terminated the special status of Telkom and Indosat as the organizing bodies responsible for coordinating telecommunicationtelecommunications services domestically and internationally. In order to increase competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among fellow telecommunicationtelecommunications operators.

5981


The Telecommunications Law is implemented through various Government regulations and ministerial regulations, including Government Regulation No.52/2000, MoCI Regulation No.1/PER/M.KOMINFO/01/2010 (on provision of telecommunicationtelecommunications networks), as lastly amended by MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2015 on Implementation of Telecommunication Network and MoCI Regulation No.7 of 2018 on Electronic Integrated Business Licensing Services in the Sector of Communications and Informatics, and amended further by MoCI Regulation No. 7 of 2019 ("MoCI Regulation No.7/2018"2018, as amended") ("MoCI Regulation No.1/2010, as amended"), Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM33 of 2004 (on monitoring of fair competition of the fixed network and basic telephone service operations) ("Minister of Transportation Decree No. 33/No.33/2004") and Decree of the Minister of Transportation No.KM.4 of 2001 (on the national basic technical plan 2000 for the national telecommunications development) ("National Technical Telecommunications Plan"). The National Technical Telecommunications Plan has been amended several times, most recently by MoCI Regulation No.14 of 2018 on Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications Plan ("MoCI Regulation No.14/2018"). Along with the Telecommunications Law, the National Technical Telecommunications Plan determines the basic vision for the development of Indonesia’sIndonesia's telecommunications regulator.

The government is currently encouragingGovernment encourages healthy competition and transparency in the telecommunications sector, even though the governmentGovernment does not prevent operators from obtaining a dominant position or increasing their dominance in the market through specific regulations. Nevertheless, the governmentGovernment prohibits market leading operators from abusing their dominant position.

Competition in the telecommunications sector, like all Indonesian business sectors, is also governed more generally by the Business Competition Law. The Business Competition Law prohibits agreements and activities which amount to unfair business competition and an abuse of a dominant market position. Pursuant to the Business Competition Law, the KPPU was established as Indonesia’sIndonesia's antitrust regulator with the authority to enforce the provisions of the Business Competition Law.

The Business Competition Law is implemented by various regulations, including Government Regulation No.57/2010 (on mergers and acquisitions potentially causing monopolistic practices or unfair business practices) ("GR No.57/2010"). GR No.57/2010 permits voluntary consultation with the KPPU prior to a merger or acquisition, which will result in the KPPU issuing a non-binding opinion. GR No.57/2010 also requires that a mandatory report be made to the KPPU after a merger or acquisition is completed if the transaction exceeds certain asset or sales value thresholds. Further, on October 14, 2019, KPPU issued Regulation No. 3 of 2019 on Assessment of Merger or Consolidation of Business Entities or Share Acquisitions of Companies ("KPPU Regulation No.3/2019"). Under KPPU Regulation No.3/2019, asset acquisitions which meet the set regulatory threshold must be reported to KPPU. In addition, as at the date hereof, a new implementing regulation relating to the Business Competition Law is still being prepared by the Government following the adoption of the Job Creation Law. Such governmental regulation will, among other things, determine the scope and amounts of sanctions imposed on parties responsible for breaching the Business Competition Law.

Cellular

We operate our cellular service business through our 65% majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, Telkomsel remained the largest cellular provider in Indonesia, with approximately 163.0169.5 million cellular subscribers and a market share of approximately 57.8%58.9% based on our internal estimate of number of total subscribers. We believe the next largest providers were Indosat and XL Axiata, based on number of subscribers as of December 31, 2018.2020. Several other smaller operators also provide cellular services in Indonesia, including Hutchison, which is part of the Hutchison Asia Telecom Group and operates under the "3" or "Tri" brand, and Smartfren Telecom, which is part of the Sinar Mas Group.

The penetration of SIM cards in the cellular industry in Indonesia is quite high, at well over 100%, making continued growth in penetration increasingly limited.difficult. There were approximately 281356.6 million cellular subscribers in Indonesia as of December 31, 2018, a 21.9% decrease from2020, compared to approximately 360341.1 million as of December 31, 2017, according to MoCI News Letter dated February 13, 2019. The decreaseThis 4.6% increase was primarily due to introductioneffective marketing campaigns used in the cellular industry with initiatives to gain and retain customers. The Government's reinforcement of the prepaid SIM registration policy, as customers no longer have the freedom of accumulating several numbers provided by various operators, had initially caused a slight reduction in the Governmentcustomer base and the number of starterpacks across the industry because customers had to select their preferred operator and phone number. Consequently, we noticed that customers tended to remain with their respective chosen operators for a longer period of time as a result of this policy.The impact of this policy, however, faded in 2020 and had only an insignificant impact on our customer base. The Government's registration policy, however, has resulted in a better-quality customer base with a higher proportion of active subscribers and more efficient SIM card registration requirements, which ledproduction costs. Due to a reduction in the number of prepaid subscribers sincestarterpacks, operators can provide better quality services to pre-paid SIM cards customers who did not meet thesecustomers. Additionally, operators are focusing more on offering renewal promotions than on new starterpack promotions. We believe the registration requirements were discontinued. policy, assuming continued implementation, will also have positive long-term impact and support the emergence of healthier competition in the industry.

The shifting trend from legacy services (such as voice and SMS) to data services continues to develop, driven by cheaper prices of smartphones as well as the rapidly growing youth customer segment. Data traffic has grown significantly, while SMS service traffic has decreased. During the second half ofSince 2017, Telkomsel sawhas seen a steep decrease in voice usage. Minutes of usage per mobile subscriber also started to decrease in the second half of 2017. These trends continued in 20182019 and 2020 and are likely to continue in the forseeable future, as they are attributable to the substitution of traditional voice and SMS services to Over the Top based calling and messaging services as smartphone penetration in Indonesia has risen.

Fixed Services

We compete with other major fixed broadband service providers with brands such as Link Net, First Media, BizNet Networks,BizNetHome, MNC Play Media and MyRepublic. Of our major competitors, First Media has the largest number of customers. In recent years, it has been facing competition from MNC Play Media and MyRepublic whichthat primarily target the affluent household market in Greater Jakarta. BizNet Networks is competitive in the corporate segment, particularly in Java and Bali. On the other hand, our IndiHome service focuses on the mass market across Indonesia, and our focus in recent years has been to upgrade DSL customers to fiber based broadband in order to deliver better quality of service and expand our digital services. We have faced increasing competition since 2019, including from a new entrant, a subsidiary of the electricity company Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) that started offering internet and TV services.   in 2019 through its ICON+ subsidiary. Supported by PLN, this new market entrant benefits from a wide coverage outside Java. In 2020, we have seen increased demand for fixed broadband services because the COVID-19 outbreak has increased the pace of digitalization in all aspects of life. Our main competitors have increasingly engaged in marketing activities and network expansions in urban and rural areas of Indonesia in 2020 and sought to capture such increase in demand. A number of local competitors emerged in 2020 as increased demand for fixed broadband services resulted in unserved local markets, such as Jets in West Java and Desfiber in Central Java.

83


Data Center

We are committed to providing the highest quality of data center solutions to our customers in Indonesia and the Asia Pacific. Supported by our proprietary self-owned submarine cable network, our comprehensive co-location services are designed to be flexible, modular, seamless and scalable in order to meet our customers' business needs. A number of other companies, including DCI Indonesia, Indosat Ooredoo, Moratelindo, IDC Indonesia, NTT Communication, Global Axcess System, Biznet, Centrin Online, Cyber TechTonic Pratama, and JupiterDC also provide data center solutions in Indonesia. In the Asia Pacific region, our subsidiary, Telin, competes with other major data center providers in Singapore and Hong Kong.

International Direct Dialing (IDD)

We compete in traditional IDD services (non-VoIP) in Indonesia primarily with Indosat. However, in line withdue to the development of digital technology, our IDD services also face competition from VoIP and other Over The Top voice services such as Skype, WhatsApp and Line.

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)

We have operated our voice service through VoIP technology since 2002. VoIP uses data communications to transfer voice traffic over the internet, which usually provides substantial cost savings to subscribers. A number of other companies, including XL Axiata, Indosat, PT Atlasat Solusindo, PT Gaharu Sejahtera, PT Satria Widya Prima, PT Primedia Armoekadata Internet, and PT Jasnita Telekomindo and IP Telecom also provide licensed VoIP services in Indonesia.

Satellite

The Asia Pacific region, and especially Southeast Asia, continues to need satellites for both telecommunications and broadcasting infrastructure, due to the characteristics of the region as an archipelago. The capabilities provided by satellites include cellular backhaul, broadband backhaul, enterprise network, occasional usage TV, military and governmentGovernment network, video distribution, DTH television, flight communication and disaster recovery.

We compete with a number of other satellite operators with satellites covering Southeast Asia and South Asia, and several operators are in the process of developing satellites with coverage over these regions. The Telkom-3S satellite became operational in April 2017 and the Merah Putih Satellite became operational in September 2018. The Telkom-3S satellite, operates at orbital slot 118 E, the Telkom-2 satellite operates at orbital slot 157 E and the Merah Putih Satellite operates at orbital slot 108 E.

Tower

The tower market experienced demand disruption during 2015-20162017-2019 as a result of mobile industry consolidation and spectrum reallocation. XL acquired Axis in 2014 while Flexi and Bakrie Telecom effectively ceased theirits operations in the same year. Bakrie Telecom ceased its operations gradually from January 1, 2016. The four largest mobile network operators also reallocated the 1,800 MHz spectrum band in anticipation of 4G LTE technology rollout. As the mobile network industry reconfigured its network requirements, tower market demand experienced setbacks in 2015-2016. As a result, new market opportunities opened for tower operators that allowed co-location by multiple telecommunications providers in the following year. In 2018,2019, tenancy demand was more stable as a result of mobile broadband expansion.

In 2020, demand for new towers and co-location increased due to the increase in data demand caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and related containment measures such as travel restrictions and work-from-home or study-from-home incentives and programs. Incremental revenue captured by mobile operators due to this increase in data demand, however, was not proportionate to such increase due to downward pressure on prices resulting from increased competition among mobile operators. We believe the Indonesian tower market has strong fundamentals and offer growth opportunities with predictable revenue associated with long-term contracts for use of towers and co-location.

84


We are also actively preparing to adapt and transition our tower business to provide fiber optic services. This is in response to a global trend of telecommunication tower providers morphing into infrastructure companies in response to expected 5G rollouts, the deployment of more diverse network technologies and the emergence of new business models that require agility and companies which are more data driven. We have already initiated this change to an infrastructure company business model to support the growth of our tower business and the deployment of 5G in Indonesia.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had approximately 30,48535,822 towers, including approximately 12,48518,473 towers owned by DayamitraMitratel, 1,349 owned by Telkom (but operated by Mitratel), and approximately 18,000 16,000 towers owned by Telkomsel. A number of other companies, including PT Tower Bersama Infrastructure TBk,Tbk, PT Profesional Telekomunikasi Indonesia, and PT Solusi Tunas Pratama Tbk also provide tower business in Indonesia.

Others

The dynamic development of the telecommunications sector has opened up new opportunities, particularly with the increasing growth of Over The Top services which provide substitute services to basic telecommunications services such as voice and SMS. Certain Over The Top service providers are particularly popular, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Line, among others. The presence of these Over The Top services has affected the use of legacy services, which resulted in decreasing traffic in the past two to three years.

Legal Basis and Regulation

The framework for the telecommunications industry comprises specific laws, governmentGovernment regulations, ministerial regulations and ministerial decrees enacted and issued from time to time.

Telecommunications Law

The telecommunications sector is primarily governed by the Telecommunications Law, which became effective on September 8, 2000. The Telecommunications Law sets guidelines for industry reforms, including industry liberalization, facilitation of new entrants, and enhanced transparency and competition.

The Telecommunications Law eliminated the concept of "organizing entities" thereby ending our and Indosat’sIndosat's responsibility for coordinating domestic and international telecommunications services, respectively. To enhance competition, the Telecommunications Law prohibits monopolistic practices and unfair competition among telecommunications operators.

The Telecommunications Law was implemented through several Government Regulations, Ministerial Regulations and Ministerial Decrees. The most important of such regulations include:

Law No.36 of 1999 on Telecommunications, as partly amended by the Job Creation Law.

Government Regulation No.52/2000 on Telecommunications Operations, as partly amended by Government Regulation GR No.46/2021.

MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 on Telecommunications Networks Operations, as partly amended by MoCI Regulation No.38/2014 and MoCI Regulation No.7/2015.

MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 on Telecommunication Service Operations.

Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004 on the Supervision of Healthy Competition in the Provision of Fixed Network and Basic Telephony Services.

MoCI Regulation No.14/2018 on the Fundamental Technical Plan of National Telecommunications.

Government Regulation No.52/2000 (on telecommunications services).

MoCI Regulation No.1/2010, as amended (on operation of telecommuncations networks).

Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.21/2001 (on the provision of telecommunications services) that was most recently amended by MoCI Regulation No.8/2015 ("Minister of Transportation Decree No. KM.21/2001, as amended").

Minister of Transportation Decree No.33/2004 (on the supervision of healthy competition in the provision of fixed network and basic telephony services).

6285


On October 18, 2019, MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No.13/2019 (as amended by MoCI Regulation No.1 of 2021 on the Second Amendment to MoCI Regulation No.13/2019) on Implementation of Telecommunication Services ("MoCI Regulation No.13/2019, as amended"), which harmonizes several aspects in the telecommunications services regime. This new rule amends MoCI Regulation No.8/2015.

On February 2, 2021, the Government issued GR No.46/2021 as an implementing regulation for the Omnibus Law. Such regulation regulates, among other things, the basic framework for the provision of telecommunication services in Indonesia, telecommunication infrastructure sharing, the renting and/or utilization of telecommunication networks, standards applicable to telecommunication devices, and the broadcasting industry (including migration to fully-digital broadcasting).

Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.4/2001 (on the determination of fundamental technical plan national 2000 for national telecommunications development) that was most recently amended by MoCI Regulation No.14/2018.

Telecommunications Regulators

The authority to regulate the telecommunications industry is held by the MoCI. Pursuant to authorities assigned to him under the Telecommunications Law, the Minister of Communication and Informatics sets policies, regulates, supervises and controls the telecommunications industry in Indonesia. The authority to regulateDGPI regulates the postal and telecommunications sectors in Indonesia, including with respect to licensing, numbering, interconnection, universal service obligation and business competition is held by the DGPI.competition. The authority to regulate matters related to radio frequency spectrum and standardization of telecommunications equipment in Indonesia is held by the Directorate General of Posts and Informatics Resources and Equipment of the MoCI ("DGRE"). regulates matters relating to radio frequency spectrum and standardization of telecommunications equipment in Indonesia.

On July 11, 2003, MoCI promulgated the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority Regulation, pursuant toin which, it delegated its authority to regulate, supervise and control the Indonesian telecommunications sector to the ITRA, while maintaining the authority to formulate policies for the industry. The ITRA iswas chaired by the DGPI and comprisescomprised nine members, including six members of the public and three members selected from Government institutions (a representative member from DGRE, the Director of DGPI and a governmentGovernment representative appointed by MoCI), until the MinisterGovernment dissolved it in 2020, based on Presidential Decree No.112 of Communication2020. ITRA's former duties and Information).functions are now assumed by the DGPI as set out in MoCI Regulation No.1 of 2021.

Classification and Licensing of Telecommunications Providers

The Telecommunications Law organized telecommunicationtelecommunications services into following three categories: (i) provision of telecommunicationtelecommunications networks; (ii) provision of telecommunicationtelecommunications services; and (iii) provision of special telecommunications services.

Licenses issued by MoCI are required for each category of telecommunications services. MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 and Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.21/2001, which was last amended by MoCI Regulation No.8/2015, (on operation of telecommunications services), are the principal implementing regulations governing licensing.

On MoCI Regulation No.1/2010 classified network operations into fixed and mobile networks. Minister of Transportation Decree No.KM.21/2001, as amended, categorized the provision of services into basic telephony services, value-addedvalue added telephony services, and multimedia services.

IDD Services

We have a license to provide IDD services under MoCI Decree No.846/2016. We offer IDD fixed line services to customers using the "007" IDD access code.

86


Cellular

Cellular telephone service is provided in Indonesia on radio frequency spectrum in the 1.8 GHz (neutral technology) and, 2.1 GHz (neutral technology) and, 900 MHz (neutral technology) and 2.3 GHz (BWA/TDD). The MoCI regulates the use and allocation of radio frequency spectrum for mobile cellular networks. Telkomsel has obtained frequency allocation for cellular services on the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1.8 GHz, 2.1 GHz, and 2.3 GHz frequencies. The allocation of spectrumfrequency is regulated by:

MoCI Decree No.549 of 2019 (on the determination of Radio Frequency Bands as a Result of Rearrangement of Radio Frequency Bands of 800 MHz and 900 MHz for the Implementation of Cellular Mobile Networks);

MoCI Decree No.1164 of 2015 (on the Stipulation of the Use of the 1800 MHz Radio Frequency Band in the 1762.5 - 1785 MHz Radio Frequency Range Paired with 1857.5 - 1880 MHz for PT Telekomunikasi Selular);

MoCI Decree No.620 of 2020 (on the Correct Amount and Payment Due Date for Radio Frequency Spectrum Usage Fees in the Tenth Year for Radio Frequency Band Licensing for the Operation of Cellular Mobile Networks on the 800 MHz, 900 MHz and 1800 MHz Radio Frequency Bands by PT Telekomunikasi Selular);

MoCI Decree No.191 of 2013 (on the determination of Telkomsel as winner in the selection of users of additional frequency bandwidth at 2.1 GHz frequency for IMT 2000 mobile cellular operators).

Interconnection

The Telecommunications Law expressly prohibits monopolistic and unfair business practices and requires network providers to allow users to access other users or obtain services from other networks by paying interconnection fees agreed upon by each network operator. Government Regulation No.52/2000 (on telecommunications operations)services) provides that interconnection charges between two or more network operators must be transparent, mutually agreed upon and fair.

On February 8, 2006, the MoCI issued Regulation No.8/PER/M.KOMINFO/02/2006 on Interconnection ("MoCI Regulation No.8/2006"), which mandated a cost-based interconnection tariff scheme for all network and services operators and replaced the previous revenue-sharing scheme. Under the new scheme, interconnection charges are determined by the network operator which terminates the call based on a long-run incremental cost formula. MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 requires operators to submit to the ITRA annual RIO proposals containing proposed interconnection tariffs for the coming year. Operators are required to use the cost-based methodology in preparing RIO proposals, and the ITRA and MoCI are required to use the same methodology in evaluating the RIO proposals and approving interconnection tariffs.

Pursuant to MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 and ITRA Letter No.246/BRTI/VIII/2007, we submitted a RIO proposal to the ITRA in October 2007, which covered adjustments for operational, configuration, technical and service offerings. In December 2007, we and all other network operators signed new interconnection agreements that superseded previous interconnection agreements between us and other network operators, and also amended all interconnection agreements signed in December 2006.

87


On February 5, 2008, the ITRA required that we and other operators begin implementing the cost-based interconnection tariff regime. New interconnection charges were implemented as stipulated in ITRA Letter No.227/BRTI/XII/2010 (on the implementation of interconnection charges) in 2011. This was the result of interconnection charges recalculation conducted in 2010 by MoCI that was agreed upon by all operators and outlined in a memorandum of understanding.

On December 12, 2011, the ITRA changed the SMS interconnection fee basis from a "Sender Keep All" basis to a cost basis interconnection fee calculation, which required certain amendments to RIOs agreed upon in 2011. MoCI Regulation No.8/2006 stipulates that the RIO of telecommunications network operators generating operating revenue that is equal to or more than 25% of the combinedtotal revenues of all telecommunicationtelecommunications operators that serve the same respective segment, must obtain the ITRA’sITRA's approval, necessitating changes in our and Telkomsel’sTelkomsel's RIOs which were approved on June 20, 2012. ITRB in its letters No.60/BRTI/III/2014 and No.125/BRTI/IV/2014 approved our and Telkomsel’sTelkomsel's revisions of RIOs regarding the interconnection tariff. Based on the letter, ITRB also approved the changes to the SMS interconnection tariff to Rp24 per SMS. As of the date of this Annual Report,hereof, no recalculation of interconnection fees for 2014 had been carried out as doing so would have been preceded by an evaluation on interconnection charges in 2013.

VoIP

In January 2007, the Government implemented interconnection regulations and a five-digit access code system for VoIP services pursuant to MoCI Decree No.06/P/M.KOMINFO/5/2005 ("MoCI Decree No.6/2005"). Under MoCI Decree No.6/2005, the prefix for VoIP, which was originally 01X, was changed to 010XY. On April 27, 2011, the MoCI issued Regulation No.14/PER/M.KOMINFO/04/2011, as partly revoked by MoCI Regulation No.11 of 2014 and MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, as amended, which imposed quality control standards in relation to VoIP services on VoIP providers and this became effective three months thereafter, to which we and other operators must adhere.

IPTV

The IPTV business is currently regulated underby MoCI Regulation No.7/2018. MoCI Regulation No.7/2018 regulates the requirement and commitment due to the introduction of the OSS system. MOCI Regulation No.7/2018 regulates the use of domestic independent content providersNo.13/2019, as one of the commitment that needs to be fulfilled by new applicants of IPTV licenses.amended. Government Regulation No.52/2005 (on broadcasting implementation of the broadcasting subscription institute) provides that subscription based broadcasting can be conducted using satellites, cables and terrestrial transmitters. Broadcasting using satellite couldcan have a nationwide range, while cables and terrestrial transmitters havecan only cover a particular region. Under MOCI Regulation No.13/2019, as amended, IPTV is a type of service that combines radio and television, video, audio, text and data services broadcast over an internet protocol network with guaranteed level of quality, security and reliability, and that also provides for two-way or interactive communication between the service provider and customers.

On April 27, 2011, we and PT Indonusa Telemedia, formerly known as TelkomVision ("Indonusa") as a consortium obtained a license to operate IPTV services. Since February 25, 2021, we individually hold an IPTV Telecommunication Service Operation License, so that we may offer a wider range of a particular region.

Our Company obtained its IPTV license under MoCI Regulation No.6 of 2017 on Implementation of Internet Protocol Television Services ("MoCI Regulation No.6/2017"), in which, as stipulated under MoCI Regulation No.7/2018, IPTV licenses that are obtained based on MoCI Regulation No.6/2017 are still valid. As it is no longer elaborated in MoCI Regulation No. 7/2018, MoCI Regulation No.6/2017 recognizes IPTV as a convergence of telecommunications, broadcasting, multimedia and electronic transactions and provides that only a consortium comprising at least two Indonesian entities may be licensed as an IPTV provider. Referring to MoCI Regulation No.6/2017, the licenses that we needed, among others, included: (a) local fixed network license, mobile cellular network or fixed closed network license, (b) operating Internet access/ISP license,  and (c) broadcasting operation of subscription television broadcasting services institution license..

Satellite

Our international satellite business is highly regulated. In addition to being subject to domestic licensing requirements and regulation for the use of orbital slots and radio frequencies, as stipulated in MoCI Regulation, our satellite operations are also regulated by the Radio Communications Bureau of the International Telecommunications Union.

Furthermore, in Indonesia, the use of radio spectrum frequency for satellite is governed under MoCI Regulation No.21 of 2014 on the Use of Radio Frequency Spectrum for Satellite Service and Satellite Orbit ("MoCI Regulation No.21/2014"). MoCI Regulation No.21/2014 requires foreign satellite operators to obtain a landing right license to operate in Indonesia which requires such foreign satellite operators to coordinate with domestic satellite operators, including us, to ensure that no Indonesian satellite and terrestrial systems will be disrupted by their operation. As recently introduced by GR No.46/2021, subject to MoCI's approval, spectrum allocations can be re-assigned to different telecommunication network operators, which was previously only possible in the event of a merger or acquisition.

Consumer Protection

Under the Telecommunications Law, each network provider is required to protect consumer rights in relation to, among others, quality of services, tariffs, and compensation. Customers injured or damaged by negligent operations may file claims against negligent providers. Telecommunications consumer protection regulations provide service standards for telecommunicationtelecommunications operators.

USO

All telecommunications operators, whether network or service providers, are bound by a USO regulation that requires them to contributeassist in providing telecommunicationtelecommunications facilities and infrastructure for the interest of openingoffering equal access to telecommunications throughout all regions inof Indonesia, which istelecommunications operators generally donedo by way of financial contribution. MoCI Regulation No.10/2018 stipulated, among others, that when providing telecommunicationselecting a provider of telecommunications access and services in rural areas (as part of the Government's USO program), the provider is determined through a selection process would be conducted by the Rural Telecommunications and Informatics Center (Balai Telekomunikasi dan Informatika Pedesaan or "BTIP") which was established based on MoCI Regulation No.35/PER/M.KOMINFO/11/2006 ("MoCI Regulation No.35/2006") Subsequently, based on MoCI Regulation No.18/PER/M.KOMINFO/11/2010, which revokes MoCI Regulation No.35/2006,. Subsequent regulations renamed BTIP was changed to the Telecommunications and Informatics Financing Provider and Management Center (Balai Penyedia dan Pengelola Pembiayaan Telekomunikasi dan Informatika or "BPPPTI"). The roles and responsibilities of BPPPTI are currently governed under MoCI Regulation No.2 of 2017 on the Organization and Work Procedures of the BPPPTI. Based on MoCI Regulation No.3 of 2018, the organization and work procedures were arranged, BPPPTI has been renamed as the Telecommunications and Information Accessibility Agency (Badan Aksesibilitas Telekomunikasi dan Informasi or "BAKTI").

USO payment requirements are calculated as a percentage of our and Telkomsel’sTelkomsel's unconsolidated gross revenues, net of bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges. Pursuant to GR No.80/2015, the current USO tariff rate as of the date hereof is 1.25% of gross revenue, net of bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges. Subsequently, inIn September 2016, the MoCI issued MoCI Regulation No.17/2016 (on guideline of the implementation of tariffs for non-tax state revenue applicable to the USO), which wasas amended by MoCI Regulation No.19/2016, effective as of November 8,4, 2016 ("MoCI Regulation No.19/2016"). MoCI Regulation No.19/2016 stipulates, among other things, the exclusion ofPursuant to such regulation, certain revenues that are not considered as partexcluded from the computation of the gross revenues as a basis to calculateused for purposes of assessing the USO charged.charged to telecommunications operators.

TelecommunicationTelecommunications Regulatory Charges

On November 9, 2015, the Government issued GR No.80/2015 which sets the types of non-tax state revenues that apply to the MoCI derived from various services, including telecommunications.

Operating and Financial Review, of the Telkom 2019 annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on June 15, 2020, which is available free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our website at www.telkom.co.id.

A.                         OPERATING RESULTS

Overview

We are the principal provider of local, domestic and international telecommunications services in Indonesia, as well as the leading provider of mobile cellular services through our majority-owned subsidiary, Telkomsel. Our objective is to become a leading TIMES playerthe preferred digital telecommunications company in the region. As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had approximately 163.0169.5 million mobile cellular subscribers through Telkomsel, 11.1 9.1 million subscribers on our fixed wireline network, and 113.8 123.9 million broadband (mobilesubscribers (consisting of 115.9 million mobile broadband subscribers and fixed) subscribers.8.0 million fixed broadband IndiHome subscribers). We also provide a wide range of other communication services, including telephone network, interconnection services, multimedia, data and internet communication-related services, satellite transponder leasing, leased line, intelligent network and related services, cable television and VoIP services. We also operate multimedia businesses such as content and applications. We intend to continue to cope with market and industry challenges that may arise from time to time by leveraging our customer base, network quality, brand name and strategic execution capabilities.

Growth of the Indonesian economy slightly increased in 2018 as growth of theThe Indonesian gross domestic product increased from anby 5.07% annually on average between 2016 and 2019 but the gross domestic product suffered a 2.07% contraction in 2020, according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of 5.0% between 2014Statistics (computed at constant market prices as at February 2021). This contraction in 2020 was mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and 2017 to 5.17% in 2018, and inflationrelated containment measures. Inflation decreased from an average of 4.5%3.12% between 20142016 and 20172019 to 3.13%1.68% in 2018,2020, according to the IndonesiaIndonesian Central Bureau of Statistics. A decrease in the inflation rate due to depressed demand could create deflationary pressure making it more difficult to stimulate economic growth, which

in turn would affect our enterprise segment. Overall the decline in inflation did not materially affect our Company. The Rupiah depreciated from an average of Rp11,878Rp13,307 to one U.S. Dollar in 20142016 to an average of Rp14,246Rp14,572 to one U.S. Dollar in 20182020 and reached its lowest value against the U.S. Dollar in 2018April 2020 at Rp15,253Rp16,741 to one U.S. Dollar, according to data from Bank Indonesia. Though the exposure of our Company and our subsidiaries to foreign exchange rates is not material, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are primarily denominated in U.S. DollarsDollar and Japanese Yen.

See Item 11 "Quantitative"Item 11. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk – Foreign Exchange Rate Risk".Risk."

The growth in our revenues in 20182020 compared with 20172019 was largely driven by increases in revenues from data, internet, and information technology services of 4.6%that increased by 8.4% and from IndiHome that increased by 21.2%.

Our operating results in 20182020 compared with 20172019 also reflected an increase in expenses. This increase was mainly driven by operation, maintenancean increase in depreciation and telecommunication servicesamortization expenses which increased primarilyof 6.3% as a result of an increase in our network capacitiesinfrastructure development to better serve our customers, particularly for internet and data service.services. The adoption of IFRS 16 (Amortization of Right-of-use Assets) also contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expense. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Key Performance Indicators

We use certain key performance indicators to monitor and manage our business. We use these indicators to evaluate our business, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. We believe these indicators provide useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner we do. The key indicators that we use to evaluate the performance of our business are set forth below:

Number of Fixed Broadband Subscribers

We track the number of our broadband subscribers (e.g., our IndiHome subscribers) as an indicator of our competitiveness and ability to capture increased or new revenue streams in the future, as we expect an increase in the use of broadband internet at home, a further diversification of digital services offered to customers, and the development and continuation of megatrends that favor an increase in the consumption of digital services.

7094


Number of Mobile Broadband Subscribers

We track the number of our mobile cellular subscribers (through Telkomsel) as an indicator of competitiveness and ability to capture growth opportunities generated by increased consumption of internet data and digital services on cellular phones.

Number of BTS

We track the number of our BTS as an indicator of the strength and the competitiveness of our network. It is also an indicator of our ability to capture growth opportunities.

Operating Profit

Operating profit is equal to total revenues, primarily comprising telephone revenues, data, internet, and information technology service revenues, network revenues, IndiHome revenues, and other revenues, and total expenses, mainly comprising operations, maintenance, and telecommunications service expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, personnel expenses, marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, interconnection expenses, and other expenses. Changes in those line-items have a direct impact on our operating profit and depend on a variety of factors, as further discussed below under "– Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

Profit for the Year

Profit for the year is equal to operating profit minus finance costs, plus finance income, share of profit/loss of associated companies, minus income tax and impairment of long-term investments in associated companies.

Principal Factors Affecting our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Increase in Data, Internet, and Information Technology Services

In Indonesia mobile phones have become the primary tool for telecommunication, both for voice calls as well as in terms of internet usage. The growing popularity of smartphones has contributed to the growth of traffic but cheaper tariffs resultingin 2020. However, ARPU slightly decreased from promotional programs amidst an environment tightening competition ledapproximately Rp46,000 in 2019 to aapproximately Rp44,000in 2020. This decrease in ARPU was mainly due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the overall Indonesian economy and our ARPU from approximately Rp43,000 in 2017customers’ purchasing power which restricted their ability and/or willingness to Rp41,000 in 2018 approximately.purchase pricier packages.

Data, internet and information technology services revenues accounted for 54.8%The share of our consolidated revenues for 2018, up from 53.4% for 2017. Revenues from our data, internet and information technology services increasedrevenue generated by 4.6% from 2017 to 2018. The increase in data, internet, and information technology services revenues has been increasing in 2018 was primarily due to a 8.1%the last few years and accounted for 55.6% of our consolidated revenues for 2020.  A key driver of this trend is the increase in revenue from cellular internet and data, and 20.3% increase in revenue from non-cellular internet and data, and internet, data communication and information technology services which primarily resulted from increased revenue from IndiHome services and from Telkom Sigma, which provides data center, systems integration and cloud management services. We seek to continue to increase such revenues as we continue to invest in improving broadband infrastructure.data.  

We expect that revenue from cellular internet and data will continue to increase and contribute to a larger portion of our consolidated revenues in line with an expected continued increase in the prevalence of smartphone usage in Indonesia. We also intend to increase such revenues by focusing our marketing efforts to encourage customers who currently only utilize mobile voice and SMS services to commence utilizing mobile broadband services. We also intend to continue our promotion of mobile package options in order to encourage existing mobile broadband services customers to increase their use of such services. In addition, we believe there is opportunity for growth in non-cellular internet, data communication and internet technology revenue, particularly through greater adoption of broadband internet at homes in Indonesia through our IndiHome service, as penetration of broadband internet at homes in Indonesia is still relatively low.

Increase in revenue generated by IndiHome

Since launch in 2015, the number of IndiHome subscribers has increased significantly. The number of IndiHome subscribers increased by 14.5% from 7.0 million subscribers in 2019 to 8.0 million subscribers in 2020. This increase drove an increase in revenue generated by IndiHome subscriptions.

We believe there is opportunity for further growth in revenue generated by IndiHome, particularly due to an increase in the use of broadband internet at home in Indonesia, as penetration of broadband internet at home in Indonesia is still relatively low. We seek to continue to increase such revenue as we continue to invest in improving our broadband infrastructure. We also continue to have promotions to encourage customers to buy various additional services, such as speed upgrades, additional set-top boxes, and the minipack package upgrade.

In addition, due to increased data consumption caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and containment measures implemented by the Government and companies, such as work-from-home or study-from-home initiatives, and increased consumption of digital services such as online shopping, revenue generated by IndiHome increased in 2020.

Declining Legacy Cellular Telephone Revenues

The rapid development of new technologies, new services and products, and new business models has resulted in distinctions between local, long-distance, wireless, cable and internet communication services being lessened and has brought new competitors into the telecommunications market. Traditional cellular services, such as voice and SMS services, are subject to increasing competition from non-traditional telecommunicationtelecommunications services, such as Over The Top products including instant voice, messaging services and other mobile services. As a result, our cellular telephone revenues, which comprise usage charges and monthly subscription charges for mobile voice and SMS services, have flattened in recent years, and in 2017 began to decline. We expect that such revenues will continue to decline in the future. Our cellular telephone revenues decreased by 7.6%30.4% from Rp37,144 Rp27,907 billion in 20172019 to Rp34,338Rp19,427 billion 2018.in 2020. In addition, we also expect that the contribution of revenues from cellular phone services to our consolidated revenues will continue to decrease in the future, as we expect that contribution from data, internet and information technology services will continue to grow and comprise a greater percentage of our consolidated revenues in the future. Our revenues from cellular phone services accounted for 26.3%14.2% of our consolidated revenues for 20182020 compared to 28.9%20.6% for 2017.2019. See Item"Item 3 "KeyKey Information Risk Factors Risks Related to our Business Risks Related to our Fixed and Cellular TelecommunicationTelecommunications Business."

IncreaseVariations in operationsoperation and maintenance expenses

We expect thatOur operation and maintenance expenses primarily comprise expenses associated with network maintenance to improve our mobile cellular and fixed broadband services. In 2020, our operations and maintenance expenses decreased compared to 2019. We expect that our operation and maintenance expenses will continue toremain relatively stable or increase slightly in the future in line with our expected growth in subscribers and traffic as well as the investments that we intend to make to continue developing our network infrastructure, particularly for internet and data service, in order to increase in our network capacities to better serve our customers. Our operationsoperation and maintenance expenses increaseddecreased by Rp5,286 billion, or 26.5%2.3%, from Rp19,929Rp20,417 billion in 20172019 to Rp25,215Rp19,956 billion in 20182020. This decrease was primarily due to increasedmore selective investments and delays in the incurrence of certain expenses relatingrelated to outsourcing maintenanceprojects delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increase in Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

The telecommunications industry is characterized by rapid and significant changes in technology. Our technology can become obsolete faster than expected. We also need to acquire new technologies necessary to compete under rapidly evolving circumstances on commercially acceptable terms. In 2019, the adoption of IFRS 16 (Amortization of Right-of-use Assets) also contributed to the increase in depreciation and amortization expenses. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We expect depreciation and amortization expenses will increase in the future due to the development of our network infrastructure to third parties. Our operations and maintenance expenses primarily comprise expenses associated with network maintenance to improve ourfor improving broadband services we provide for both mobile cellular and fixed broadband services and accounted for 26.8% of our total expenses for 2018.

a decrease in other tax liabilities of Rp464 billion, or 24.6%, from Rp1,886 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,422 billion as of December 31, 2020, due to a Rp503 billion decrease in VAT payable by our subsidiaries; and

a decrease in current income tax liabilities of Rp254 billion, or 16.4%, from Rp1,545 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp1,291 billion as of December 31, 2020, due to a decrease in corporate income tax payable by Telkom by Rp245 billion.

Working Capital

As of December 31, 2018,2020, our working capital, defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities as of the same date, decreased by Rp5,664Rp1,539 billion compared to our working capital as atof December 31, 2017.2019. As at December 31, 2018,2020, our current assets were lower than our current liabilities, resulting in a current ratio, defined as our current assets divided by our current liabilities, was 0.93of 0.68 as atof December 31, 2018.2020. We closely monitor our working capital and generally try to lower it to maintain it at an optimal level so that we may manage our working capital efficiently, without restricting our ability to meet our current liabilities. This decrease in working capital was primarily due to:

a decrease

an increase in current assets of Rp4,718 billion or 9,9%, from Rp47,561 billion as of December 31, 2017 to Rp42,843 billion  as of December 31, 2018, primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents of Rp7,710 billion and other current financial assets by Rp859 billion. These decreases were partially offset by increases in  contract assets by Rp1,560 billion, contract costs by Rp924 billion,  prepaid other taxes by Rp492 billion,   trade and other receivables by Rp364 billion  and asset held for sale by Rp330 billion.

an increase in current liabilities of Rp946 billion, or 2.1%, from Rp45,376 billion as of December 31, 2017 to Rp46,322 billion as of December 2018,  primarily due to increases in  short-term bank loans and current maturities on long-term liabilities  of Rp2,841 billion and advances from customers of Rp328 billion. These increases were partially offset by decreases in  other tax liabilities of Rp1,213 billion,   trade and other payables of Rp577 billion and  current income tax liabilities of Rp397 billion.

an increase in current liabilities of Rp7,151 billion, or 11.7% from Rp61,349 billion as of December 31, 2019 to Rp68,500 billion as of December 31, 2020. See"—Current Liabilities."

We believe that our available cash, working capital, cash generated by future operations, and borrowings from banks and other financial institutions are sufficient for our present requirements. We expect that our working capital requirements will continue to be addressed by various funding sources, including cash from operating activities, bank loans and potential offerings of debt securities in the capital markets.

We take a qualitative approach towards our capital structure and debt levels. Under our syndicated loan agreement with BNI and BCA, we are required to maintain a debt to equity ratio should not exceed 2.5 and debt service coverage ratio should not be less than 1.0. As of December 31, 2018,2020, our net debt to equity ratio was 0.270.43 and our debt service coverage ratio was 1.92.5 times, indicating our strong ability to meet our debt obligations. Our debt levels are primarily driven by our plans to develop our existing and new strategic businesses. In determining our optimum debt levels, we also consider our debt ratios with reference to regional peers in the telecommunications industry.

Source of Funds

We have historically funded our capital expenditures primarily with cash generated from operations. In 2019,2021, we expect that our capital expenditure to revenue ratio will berange approximately in the range of 25%-30%from 24% to 27%. We expect that the most significant proportions of capital expenditure will be allocated to the development of infrastructure to support broadband services, with aboth for mobile and fixed line broadband services. A portion of the increaseour capital expenditure is allocated to our subsidiaries.subsidiaries, primarily to Telkomsel. We expect to fund the above commitments with our internal and external source of funds.

The realization and use of future capital expenditures may differ from the amounts indicated above due to various factors, including but not limited to changes in the Indonesian and global economy, the Rupiah/U.S. Dollar or other applicable foreign exchange rates, the availability of supply or vendor or other financing on terms acceptable to us, and also any technical or other problems in the implementation.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments

For a complete discussion of our critical accounting policies, estimates and judgments,, see Note 2.aa to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

114


New Standards and Interpretations

We have applied IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments)16 (Leases) ("IFRS 9"16") onsince January 1, 2018, and we adopted IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) ("IFRS 15") on January 1, 2018 using modified retrospective approach.2019. Previous financial periods, in particular the financial years ended December 31, 2016 and 2017, have not been restated following these changes in accounting policies. See Note 2.aa to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 20-F. As a result, our Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2016 and 20172018 are not directly and fully comparable to our consolidated financial statements as of and for the yearyears ended December 31, 2017. See "— Operating2019 and Financial Review and Prospects."2020.

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement)(“IAS 39”). The standard promulgates16 sets out a revisedcomprehensive model for recognitionidentification of lease agreements and measurementtheir treatment in the financial statements of financial instrumentsboth lessees and lessors. IFRS 16 introduces a single, forward-looking “expected loss” impairment model. In general, the main changes introduced by IFRS 9 relate to the classification and measurement of financial assets, the introduction of a new impairment model based on expected credit losses (instead of losses incurred under IAS 39) and the accounting treatment of hedges. IFRS 9 comprises mainly: (i) the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities; (ii) the new impairmentcontrol model for the recognitionidentification of expected credit losses;leases, distinguishing between leases and (iii) the new hedge accounting model.

We classify our financial assets as at amortized cost, at Fair Value through Profit or Loss (“FVTPL”) and Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (“FVTOCI”). Previously under IAS 39, financial assets were classified as loan and receivables trading and available for sale. The classification is based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets; and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interestservice contracts on the principal amount outstanding.basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

The classificationIFRS 16 supersedes a number of existing standards and measurement requirementsinterpretations, including IAS 17 (Leases), IFRIC 4 (Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease), SIC 15 (Operating Leases - Incentives), and SIC 27 (Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease). We elected to apply IFRS 9 have16 by using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, we recognize the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 as an impact on someadjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

Under IAS 17 (Leases), lessees recognized a periodic lease expense over the Group’s availablelease term for sale financial assets as they have to be measured at FVTPL as the instruments’ contractual cash flow do not represent solely payment of principal and interest. The Group continued measuring at amortised cost for all financial assets previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39.

operating leases. The adoption of IFRS 9 has fundamentally changed16 resulted in our accountingconsolidated future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases to be recognized as lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets. These amounts are adjusted for impairment losses using expected credit loss ("ECL") approach.the effects of discounting and of the practical expedients available under the transition guidance for IFRS 9 requires16 that we selected.

We elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance for IFRS 16, which among other things, allows us to recognise an allowance for ECLs for all debt instrumentscarryforward the historical lease assessments. This allowed us not held at fair value through profit or lossto reassess our prior conclusions on lease identification, lease classification, and contract assets.initial direct costs.

98

IFRS 15 has been effective for financial periods starting from January 1, 2018. IFRS 15 replaces a number of existing revenue standards, including IAS 18 (Revenue), IAS 11  (Construction Contracts) and IFRIC 13 (Customer Loyalty Programmes.) IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework to determine how, when and how much revenue is to be recognized. The standard provides a principles-based five-step model for the determination and recognition of revenue for all contracts with customers requiring that an entity: (1) identify the contract with customer; (2) identify performance obligations related to that contract; (3) determine the transaction price of the contract; (4) assigning said transaction price among the performance obligations; and (5) recognize income when (or as) the performance obligations are met. In addition to recognition and measurement, IFRS 15 also provides new requirements in the presentation and disclosures.

The standard also provides specific guidance requiring certain types of costs incurred to obtain and/or fulfil a contract to be capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the capitalized cost relates. We have elected to use a modified retrospective approach when adopting this standard. We have also elected to apply the following practical expedients on the transition date:

Completed contracts - we have applied IFRS 15 only to customer contracts that are not completed on January 1, 2018; and

Contract modifications - instead of applying a retrospective approach to quantify the cumulative effects of contract modifications from the time the each modification was made; we have reflected the aggregate effect of all contract modifications that occurred before January 1, 2018 in order to: (i) identify satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (ii) determine the transaction price of the latest modified contract; and (iii) allocate the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations as of January 1, 2018.

Some other key changes from adopting IFRS 15  that have impacted us include the following:

Contract assets and contract liabilities have been added as new lines in the consolidated statements of financial position as required under IFRS 15. Previously, contract assets were reported as trade receivables and contract liabilities were reported as unearned income.

Contract costs that consist of costs to obtain and fulfil the contract have been added as a new line item in the consolidated statement of financial position. Previously, these contract costs were reported as expenses and were expensed as incurred or amortised with systematic basis that is inconsistent with the recognition of related revenue.

Revenues from contracts with customers which are measured under IFRS 15 are separately presented from revenues from other sources.

Please see Note 2.aa2.l to our Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, for16. For other new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations not yet effective for 2018adopted in 2020 which have not been applied in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, see note 40Note 39 to our Consolidated Financial Statements. For amendments to standards and interpretations adopted in 2020 which have not been applied in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, see Note 2.a. Such amendments had no material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

C.                         RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES, ETC.

As a technology-based company, we continue to focus on product and service innovation through ongoing research and development. The changing landscape of the telecommunications industry, particularly with competition from Over The Top services and other digital-based services, necessitate innovations on our part in order to improve the customer experience and remain competitive and transform into a digital telecommunications company. 

99

We are conducting research on access network infrastructure research in order to find access technologies capable of delivering data to customers at higher speeds, better performance and with lower delays throughand better performance. Examples of such technologies such asinclude Next Generation PON, 2,Software Defined Access Network, Fixed Wireless Broadband,Mobile Convergence, Wi-Fi Giga,6, and 5G. We consider digital connectivity as a key factor in ensuring Telkom will retain its leading position as a digital telecommunications player in Indonesia. We also conduct joint innovation activities that aim to enhance our current products and services and createwhile creating new business models to producegenerate new revenue generators.streams of revenue. For example, we are actively developing and ramping up our 5G capabilities, remodeling our network for such technology and developing 5G use cases in collaboration with technology owners. In addition to closely collaborating with our partners to ensure we have been conductingthe right 5G technology, architecture and network in place, we closely work with our sales and marketing department to assess Indonesian customers' needs and expectations in terms of 5G services and affordability.

115


Regarding infrastructure development, research and integration of the Defined Networking (SDN) transport software technology as a platform for smarter network automation is key to the development of our network strategy and design. This technology allows the development of network slicing to support the implementation of 5G transport. 5G transport requires not only greater network capacity, but also the differentiation of the quality of services according to the requirements set out for such telecommunications services. Network slicing is a technology that virtualizes multiple logical networks (called slices) on our infrastructure where resources or virtualized functions can be flexibly configured by demands of applications to satisfy their quality of service requirements.In addition, to support the implementation of retail, enterprise customer and wholesale services, as well as the development of IoT, we carry out research on access network virtualization with NTTIPv6-based service infrastructure, such as 64 translation technology, VPN64 service and Cisco in orderreverse proxy. IPv6 is expected to facilitate managementbe the next popular technology of new services and research network slicingthe Internet Protocol, the communications protocol that provides an end-to-end networks reachability across the internet. It allows for much higher theoretical limits on node access for support open access implementation.the number of IP addresses than the current IPv4 system.

We are also conducting infrastructurecontinue our research on infrastructure technology for telephone service nodes, for voice-based voice/multimedia, high-speed Internetinternet service infrastructurenodes and smart transport technology based on packet and optical technologies. For voice services and voice control services,The service nodes we conduct research on IMS technology. Asare such as the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) and Session Border Controller (SBC) for telephony services, Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) and Policy Charging Control (PCC) for the control of high-speed Internet services, we do research on BRAS technology, PCRF, and PCEF. Theseinternet service nodes. Those service node technologies evolved by adopting virtualizationhave been evolving with the use of virtual technology that seeks to improveenhances speed, flexibility of deployment and operationoperating efficiency. For smart transport technologiesOur research, among other things, aims to identify and develop network technology that can improve customer experience in accessing and using media and telecommunications services. Therefore, we conducted research on triple play services, especially video services. We are exploring several technologies and techniques such as metro ethernet, OTN, and MPLS for offering and implementing efficient, robust, and quality network solutions.  Moreover, we are now inconstantly trying to identify the assessment phase of SDN as we seek to deploy thisbest technology for the use and development of IPTV and OTT video platforms, video conferencing platforms, infrastructure virtualization (virtual content delivery network automation and control.& virtual set-top box) to provide the best quality of services.

We believe that our assessment and testing of future technologies and the IoT will contribute to our long-term success, particularly in terms of updating our knowledge developing our human capital. This may create opportunities for additional revenuerevenues and cost savings in the future. The Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN), Narrow Band - IoT (NB-IoT) and 5G technology are among the technologies that we have begun to explore in relation to the IoT. The aim of our research is to pave the way towards a future in which smart factories, intelligent machines and networked processes are brought together to implement "Industry 4.0" initiatives. Our research has shown that the provision of space telecommunications infrastructure is increasingly important and therefore, we are studying non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) satellite technology, high altitude platform stations (HAPs), drones and balloons.

As the main broadband Internet serviceconnectivity provider in the region, we are also concerned about cyber security and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks that hashave been massively targeting ISPs and companiesbusiness customers in recent years. To mitigate the risk and protectingto protect our valuable business customers from DDoS attacks, we are conductinghave conducted research on and guidingguided the implementation of carrier grade anti DDoS and cyber security mechanismsanti-DDoS solutions that can detect DDoS attackattacks and divert the traffics to a scrubbing system that will scrub the DDoS traffic and routere-route clean traffic to our customers. As one of the main broadband internet service providers in Indonesia based on the number of subscribers and coverage, especially through our retail high-speed internet provider, IndiHome, we have conducted research on endpoint security, including Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). We are also researching security mechanisms that can be deployed within our digital factory, so thethat security will be inherent withinin our DevSecOps (Develop-Secure-Operate)(Development-Security-Operation) methodology in providing manyour digital applications.applications for enriching our customer's digital lifestyle in a secured manner as smartphone use increases. We have also developed our internal Data Breach Management Recommendations which offer guidance for mitigating the financial and reputational impact of data breaches and cyber incidents. A "data breach" refers to an incident resulting in exposure to potential unauthorized access of personal data within the possession of an organization or under its control. Data breaches often lead to financial losses and a loss of consumer trust.  Hence, we must prevent and manage the risk of data breaches. The recommendations we have developed contain steps that should be considered and the parties that should be responsible for preventing and responding to data breaches involving our digital services.

Our research and development activities include our open innovation program where we aim to leverage the creativity of Indonesian digital technology entrepreneurs with the aim of integrating the products and services that they develop into our business. In practice, our products and services are designed and developed according to the needs of consumers in the current digital era. In connection with our efforts to develop such products and services, in 2019, we continued our Digital Amoeba and Indigo Creative Nation programs. Digital Amoeba aims to capture and accelerate innovation internally at Telkom and its subsidiaries. Indigo Creative Nation is Telkom's open innovation program in collaboration with digital startups to develop Indonesia's digital creative industry while developing Telkom's digital business portfolio. Our subsidiary, PT Metra Digital Investama, also known as MDI Ventures, manages and invests venture funds in potential digital startups. We also provide office facilities for nurturing creativity such as shared meeting rooms, classrooms and common areas for entrepreneurs which are known as Digital Innovation Lounges ("DILo") at 17 locations in Indonesia. In 2018, we received 406 proposals from startups as part of our startup discovery program and selected 36 of them to join our incubation program.

We conduct incubation and acceleration activities and provide mentorships to assist startups to develop and validate their customer, product, business model, and business model.market validation. We occasionally provide seed financing in the form of equity to startups which we believe are commercially viable. We also support startups to commercialize their products and services and obtain follow-on financing. In 2018, we successfully collaborated with and included thefunding. As at December 31, 2020, 51 teams were actively validating new products and new processes, with 23 projects prioritized for accelerated development to potentially integrate into our business portfolio.

Our subsidiary PT Metra Digital Investama ("MDI Ventures") handles various corporate venture capital initiatives. It identifies investment opportunities, raises funds, aims to create synergies, in particular with Telkom Group companies and businesses, and maximize value creation, manages a significant investment portfolio and provides operational assistance and advice to startups after investing in them. Based in Jakarta, MDI Ventures has operations in Singapore and the Silicon Valley. The focus of these investments is on high growth business verticals that are or will be able to deliver enhanced digital experience and best services to customers, such as financial technology, cloud computing, Big Data, health technology, E-commerce, or the Internet of Things, among others. In 2020, MDI invested in 15 new startups in Indonesia, India, Singapore, and the United States. Since 2016, MDI Ventures has invested in more than 50 startups in 12 countries. A number of these companies were the targets of mergers and acquisitions or even completed initial public offerings. MDI Ventures has collaborated with many Indonesian SOEs to build a digital ecosystem and accelerate the pace of digitalization of the Indonesian economy. MDI Ventures also collaborates with global investors to invest in global startups, and with global startup incubators and accelerators to support Telkom's Indigo Creative Nation program. As at the date hereof, MDI Ventures' fund management activities include managing the following funds (in addition to managing handling Telkom's fund management activities):

PT Telkomsel Mitra Inovasi's TMI Fund: this fund focuses on funding startups that can create synergies and value accretion for Telkomsel;

Centauri Fund: launched in collaboration with KB Financial Group (Kook Min Bank) from South Korea, this fund focuses on growth-stage startups. This fund seeks to support startups in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, especially in startup developing innovative technologies, including financial technology, E-commerce infrastructure, Software as a Service (SaaS), and Big Data; and

Arise Fund: launched in 2020 in collaboration with Finch Capital Netherlands and which mainly focuses on early-stage Indonesian startups developing innovative technologies.

In 2020, MDI Ventures and startups they collaborated with launched a website dedicated to educating people on COVID-19. This website (www.Indonesiabergerak.com) includes information on areas affected by the pandemic and allows users to report updates.

We believe our emphasis on a corporate culture of innovation allows us to respond quickly to market changes and customers' needs. For instance, in 2020 we have been collaborating with the Government to develop a contact tracing application, one of the tools used by the Government to limit the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. We have also developed another application to assist the Government and a pharmaceutical company to monitor deliveries of the COVID-19 vaccine, record relevant vaccine data, enable people to register themselves for vaccination and for identification of eligible vaccine recipients to support efficient distribution of the vaccine.

D.                         TREND INFORMATION

WeIn spite of the current COVID-19 pandemic and declining use of voice and SMS services, we believe favorable external factors among others, will support our ability to continue to drive revenue growth from both cellular and non-cellular data, internet and information technology services.During 2018, Indonesia recorded The Indonesian GDP contracted by 2.07% in 2020, according to the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics (computed at constant market prices, based on preliminary results available as at February 2021), after two decades of expansion. Almost all sectors of the Indonesian economy experienced negative growth of 5.17%.With good economic fundamentals, Indonesia’s nationalduring the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, except for those related to essential goods and services, including the information and communication sector. According to the IMF, the Indonesian economy is expected to continuerecover in 2021 as a number of countries, including Indonesia, roll out their national vaccination program. It is also expected to grow steadily, withbenefit from a corresponding increasedemographic dividend which should have a positive impact on economic growth and its growing working population should result in consumer purchasing power, whichan improvement in turnIndonesia's Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) growth. The transition of the Indonesian economy toward digitalization, whose pace increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, is expected to resultcontinue in higher demandthe future and spread across multiple sectors of the economy. While Indonesia is expected to benefit from digitalization, it will face key challenges in implementing its digitalization projects across multiple sectors such as logistics, education, healthcare, Government administration, finance and insurance. The Government expects that the improvement in digital technology will create job opportunities, increase efficiency in business operations, better services and unlock various markets by making them more accessible through digitalization.

The Government has established several national digitalization projects. The three main digitalization projects that have an impact on Telkom are the following:

Making Indonesia 4.0: This project offers an opportunity for telecommunications services,Telkom to enter into partnerships with various manufacturing companies to provide IoT solutions.

One Data Indonesia: This project will enable the public sector to make data driven decisions. Therefore, we expect that this will provide opportunities for both basic telecommunications servicesTelkom to propose and provide high volume data storage through data centers and cloud solutions with big data and analytic solutions.

Presidential Direction for Infrastructure Development: The Government's National Medium Term Development Plan 2020-2024 set out targets for Indonesia's digital transformation, including that 60% of districts (kecamatan) be covered by fixed broadband and 95% of villages (desa) be covered by mobile broadband by 2024.

In the shorter run, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have an effect on our results of business operations and financial condition in the financial year ending December 31, 2021. As at the date hereof, the potential economic impact on Indonesia and the global economy brought by, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is highly uncertain, subject to change and difficult to estimate or predict. Whereas we are closely monitoring the current situation and potential developments, there is still uncertainty as to the full extent of the potential impact on our business, operations, prospects and results of operations.

Governments of many countries, including Indonesia, have imposed lock-down measures and travel restrictions in response to the pandemic. On March 31, 2020, by virtue of Presidential Decree No.11 of 2020, the President of Indonesia declared COVID-19 a Public Health Emergency (Darurat Kesehatan Masyarakat). Under certain conditions, regional governments are allowed to impose enhanced measures they consider necessary within the respective territory under their authority. For example, the regional government of the Jakarta Province (classified as a "red zone area", having been identified as an area of high COVID-19 transmission, and where Telkom's head office is located) has implemented enhanced PSBB measures, including restrictions on travel, transportation and use of public facilities, quarantines and work-from-home orders, as well as value-added servicesother social and physical distancing measures. In compliance with these initiatives, we also implemented protocols for safeguarding the health of our employees, preventing contagion and supporting our business continuity, including, among others, stopping non-essential travels, limiting gatherings in our corporate offices and branches, assigning teams to alternate work schedules or sites, and establishing work-from-home protocols.  

119


Governmental measures such as those described above have had a severe impact on economic activities and we expect that are partthis will cause a decline in revenue in various business segments. In its projections dated January 2021, taking into account the anticipated negative impact of the increasingly prevalent digital lifestyleCOVID-19 outbreak and related containment measures, the IMF adjusted its initial projection of Indonesia's GDP growth from a 5.0% growth to a GDP contraction of 1.9% for the financial year ended December 31, 2020. We believe that consumer services and mobile services may prove resilient even in modern societies.

Indonesia's telecommunications sector remains promisingthe context of economic downturns. We have witnessed that lock-down measures including travel restrictions and work-from-home orders have increased the use of our fixed and mobile broadband services as it offers a large market with a sizable consumer base. Rising spending powerbusinesses and consumers carry out more online activities and transactions. However, we expect that the slowdown in overall economic growth will eventually have an effect on our results of Indonesian consumersoperations and growing mobile technological proliferations have ledfinancial condition and we are in the process of implementing measures to an increasedaddress any changes in consumption. Our measures include managing network load and configuration to adapt to changes in traffic pattern, supply chain stabilization to ensure sufficient capacity, and providing support to customers to address their increasing demand for innovative uptake. Several ongoing investment programs by telecommunication operators are expected to help improve Indonesia's national broadband landscape, with the emphasis being on 3G/4G mobile networksworking collaboration, learning activities and fixed broadband. However, the continued decline in legacy services which is affecting all Asian countries is expected to slow down in the coming years. Aggressive mobile data promotions from telecommunications operators have helped drive subscriptions nationally, but have led to lower data margins. The ensuing price war for data services in Indonesia during the first half of 2018 brought significant adverse financial consequences for operators which ultimately forced them to restore prices to more sustainable levels. In addition, the continued widespread rollout of our fiber optic network for fixed broadband services is expected to provide an opportunity to capture more subscribers. We believe the foregoing trends will lead to an improvement in data margins and a continued demand for data, internet and information technology services as well as cloud and digital services that may offset the decline of legacy services.entertainment.

Enterprise spending on system integration, maintenance and consulting is expected to increase with the fastest growth envisaged in services such as outsourcing and cloud computing. The rapid expansion of the IT service market and improvements made to Indonesia’s telecommunications and ICT infrastructure are expected to continue driving IOT, which will require IT support in the form of software and services. We plan to continue to build our capabilities in these areas in order to position ourselves to capture opportunities in this space.

The Palapa national fiber ring project has been completed and has transitioned to the commercial phase. All main islands within the Indonesian archipelago are now connected with sufficient fiber optic backbone capacity. The next step is to further extend the links to Indonesia's neighboring nations that facilitate IT dissemination, and international market expansion. This will also enable improvements for higher mobile internet speed and wider coverage that will help over 200 million Indonesians to access a true broadband internet experience, transforming communication and content consumption behavior in the country. Although free to air television (FTA TV) remains the most effective medium for advertisers to get national reach, competition from internet and other digital media are inevitable. The fast growth of online content consumption is expected to provide an opportunity for broadband players such as Telkom to capture advertising revenue in the medium to longer term.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that were reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Relationship with the Government and Government Agencies

Our relationship with the Government is multi-faceted. The Government is our majority and controlling shareholder. It is also our regulator as it adopts, administers and enforces relevant laws that regulate the telecommunications sector, sets tariffs and issues licenses. It is also one of our customers and one of our lenders.

As used in this section, the term "Government" includes the Government of Indonesia and its ministries, directly-owneddirectly owned government departments and agencies, but excludes SOEs.

The Government as Shareholder

The Government is our majority and controlling shareholder and owned 52.09% of our issued and outstanding common stock as of February 28, 2019.March 31, 2021. Its ownership of the Dwiwarna Share gives it special voting and veto rights. Under the relevant laws, the "ownership" of our common stock and the single outstanding Dwiwarna Share is vested in the Ministry of Finance.MoF. In turn, and under the authority of the Ministry of Finance,MoF, the MSOE exercises the rights vested in these securities as our "controlling shareholder."

As our majority shareholder and controlling shareholder, the Government has an interest in our performance, both in terms of the service we provide to the nation and our ability to operate on a commercial basis. The material rights and restrictions that apply to our common stock also apply to the Dwiwarna Share, except that the Government may not transfer the Dwiwarna Share, and has right of veto with regard to:to, among other things: (1) the nomination, appointment and removal of our Directors; (2) the nomination, appointment and removal of our Commissioners; (3) the issuance of new shares and (4) any amendments to our Articles of Association, including with respect to actions to merge or dissolve our Company, increase or reduce our authorized capital, or reduce our subscribed capital.

Accordingly, the Government effectively has control over these matters even if it owns less than a majority share of the outstanding shares of common stock. The Government’sGovernment's rights with respect to the Dwiwarna Share will not expire unless there is a change that requires the amendment of our Articles of Association, which would require the consent of the Government as the holder of the Dwiwarna Share.

116

The Government as Regulator

The Government regulates the telecommunications sector through the MoCI. The MoCI has the authority to issue regulations that implement laws, which are typically broad in scope. Through such decrees the MoCI defines the structure of the industry, determines tariff formulas, establishes our USO, and otherwise controls many factors that could influence our competitive position, operations and financial position. Through the DGPI, the MoCI regulates the allocation of frequencies and sets numbers for fixed telephone lines. We are required to obtain a license from the DGPI for each type of service offered, including licenses for the frequencies we use (as allocated by the MoCI). We and other operators are required to pay frequency usage fees. Telkomsel also holds licenses issued by the MoCI (some of which were previously issued by the Minister of Communications) for the provision of cellular services, and from the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board in relation to Telkomsel’sTelkomsel's investments for the development of cellular phone services with national coverage, including the expansion of network coverage. The Government, through the MoCI as regulator, has the authority to issue new licenses for the establishment of new joint ventures and other new arrangements, particularly in telecommunications.

136


Table of Contents

Certain licenses require us to pay a concession fee to operate. We pay concession fees for telecommunications services provided and radio frequency usage charges to the MoCI. Concession fees amounted to Rp1,883Rp1,868 billion in 20172019 and Rp1,812Rp1,837 billion (US$126131 million) in 2018.2020. Concession fees as a percentage of total expenses amounted to 2.2%2.0% in 20172019 and 1.9%2.0% in 2018.2020. Radio frequency usage charges amounted to Rp4,276Rp5,736 billion in 20172019 and Rp5,473Rp5,930 billion (US$381422 million) in 2018.2020. Radio frequency usage charges as a percentage of total expenses amounted to 5.0%6.1% in 20172019 and 5.8%6.4% in 2018.2020. USO charges to the MoCI amounted to Rp366Rp502 billion in 20172019 and Rp485Rp574 billion (US$3441 million) in 2018.2020. USO charges as a percentage of our total expenses amounted to 0.4% in 2017 and 0.5% in 2018.2019 and 0.6% in 2020.

The Government as Lender

In July 1994, the Government arranged a facility under which certain foreign institutions provided us with a two-step loan for certain expenditures (the "sub-loan borrowings"). The sub-loan borrowings were made through the Government and are guaranteed by it. As of December 31, 2018,2020, we had a total of Rp949Rp568 billion (US$6640 million), in such outstanding two-step loans, including current maturities. We are required to pay the Government interest and repay the principal, which the Government then remits to the respective lenders. As of December 31, 2018, 83.2%2020, 84.0% of such sub-loan borrowings were denominated in foreign currencies, with the remaining 16.8%16.0% denominated in Rupiah. In 2018,2020, the annual interest rates charged 7.50%were 8.38% on loans repayable in Rupiah, 3.85% on those denominated in U.S. Dollar and 2.95% on those denominated in Japanese Yen.

The Government as Customer

Certain Government departments and agencies purchase services from us as direct customers, the terms of which are negotiated on a commercial basis. No services are provided for free or on an in-kind basis. We deal with these departments and agencies as separate customers. In 2018,2020, the amount of revenues from Government departments and agencies was Rp3,978Rp4,235 billion, which accounted for 3.04%3.1% of our consolidated revenues and did not constitute a material part of our revenues. The Government departments and agencies are treated for tariff purposes with respect to connection charges and monthly charges as "residential," which tariffs are lower than the business service rates. This does not apply to the tariffs for local, long distance and IDD calls. In addition, we provide enterprise digital services and solutions to SOEs, including ATM switching, payment gateway and E-Commerce platform services.

It is our policy not to enter into any transactions with affiliates unless the terms are on an arm's length basis as though such transactions are made with a third party. The MSOE has advised us that it would not cause us to enter into transactions with other entities under its control unless the terms were consistent with our policy as referred to above.

Pursuant to OJK regulations, because we are listed on the IDX, any transaction where there is an inherent conflict of interest (as defined below) must be approved by a majority of the holders of our shares of common stock who do not have a conflict of interest in the proposed transaction (i.e. the independent shareholders), unless, among other things, such conflict of interest existed before listing and was fully disclosed in the offering documents.

117

OJK regulations define a conflict of interest as a conflict between our economic interests and the shareholders’shareholders' interests on the one hand and, on the other, the personal economic interests of members of the Board of Commissioners, Board of Directors, or other principal shareholders (defined as a holder of 20% or more of our shares of common stock), or the controlling person (pengendali) (defined as a person who (i) owns more than 50% of our issued and paid-up shares or (ii) has the ability to determine, directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, the management and/or our policy) or their affiliates, either jointly or individually, which may cause losses to us. A conflict of interest also exists if a member of the Board of Commissioners or Board of Directors or a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) or their respective affiliates is involved in a transaction in which its personal interests may be in conflict with ours and may cause losses to us. The OJK has the authority to enforce these rules regarding conflicts of interest and holders of our shares of common stock are also entitled to bring a suit to enforce these.

137


Table of Contents

Under OJK regulations, transactions between us and other state-owned or state-controlled enterprises may cause a conflict of interest. In such cases, the approval of the independent shareholders must be obtained if a conflict of interest arises.arises, unless exempted. We believe that many transactions conducted with state-owned or state-controlled enterprises are on an arms-length, commercial basis and do not constitute conflict of interest transactions that would require an independent shareholders vote. Such transactions include our sale of telephone services to state-owned or state-controlled enterprises and our purchase of electricity from an SOE. We expect that from time to time, in connection with the development and growth of our business, we would enter into joint ventures, agreements or transactions with such enterprises. Under such circumstances, we may consult with the OJK to determine whether a proposed joint venture, agreement or transaction would require a vote of independent shareholders under OJK rules. If the OJK is of the view that such transaction would not require such a vote, we would proceed without seeking the independent shareholders’shareholders' approval. Otherwise, we would seek the requisite approval or abandon the proposed action.

The Indonesian Stock Market

Indonesia Stock Exchange, known as the IDX, emerged out of the December 1, 2007 merger of two stock exchanges operating in two different locations in Indonesia, namely the Jakarta Stock Exchange which was located in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, and the Surabaya Stock Exchange which was located in Surabaya in East Java.

119

As of December 31, 2018,2020, the IDX had 619713 issuers for equity and 106105 active brokerage houses. In 2018,2020, IDX recorded a trading volume of 246.51around 2,752 billion shares. As of December 31, 2018,2020, the total market capitalization was valued at Rp7,023.5approximately Rp6,970 trillion (US$488.42(approximately US$496 billion).

Trading is divided into three segments: the regular market, negotiated market and cash market (except for rights issues, which can only be traded on the cash market and the negotiated market for the first session). The regular market is the mechanism for trading stock in standard lots on a continuous auction basis during exchange hours. Auctions on the IDX on regular market and cash market take place according to the price and time priorities. Price priority refers to giving priority to buying orders at a higher price or selling orders at a lower price. If buying or selling orders are placed at the same price, priority is given to the earlier placed buying or selling order (time priority). Trading on the negotiated market is conducted through direct negotiation between (i) IDX members, (ii) clients through one IDX member, (iii) a client and an IDX member, or (iv) an IDX member and the PT Kliring Penjaminan Efek Indonesia ("KPEI"). KPEI provides clearing and guarantee services of stock exchange transactions settlement. It also improves efficiency and certainty of transactions settlement on the IDX.

IDX Rule No. II A on Trading of Equity Securities as attached to the Decree of the Board of Directors of the IDX No. Kep‑00168/Kep-00025/BEI/11‑201803-2020, as amended by Decree No. Kep-00108/BEI/12-2020 ("IDX Trading Rule") provides that, the trading sessions of the IDX is as follows:

Transactions on the negotiated market are settled on the basis of the agreement between the selling exchange members and the buying exchange members, on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Transactions on the IDX cash market must be settled on the day of the transaction (T+0) and reported to the IDX. If an exchange member defaults on the settlement of a transaction, the securities can be traded by direct negotiation on cash and carry terms.

Any delay in payment of the transaction fee is subject to a fine of 1.0% of the outstanding amount of the payment for each day of delay.

When conducting share transactions on the IDX, each exchange member is required to pay a transaction cost for transactions on the regular market and cash market of 0.0018%0.018% of the transaction value and VAT and other tax obligation.

Since the global financial crisis in the last quarter of 2008, that causedthere has been typical share price movements,movements. Hence, the IDX has applied a policy of auto rejection, a mechanism whereby share trading can be halted automatically in order to maintain orderly, fair and efficient trading. Following changes made by the IDX in October 2008 and January 2009 the auto rejection trigger levels are 35% above or below the reference price for stocks in the Rp50 to Rp200 price range, 25% for stocks in the Rp200 to Rp5,000 price range, and 20% for stocks priced more than Rp5,000. The auto rejection level in the case of an initial public offering is determined at a level which is twice as high as for normal trading. Auto rejection also arises when selling offer or buying request volume reaches over 5 billion shares or 5% of total shares listed, whichever is smaller.

The IDX Trading Rule also stipulates the change of auto rejection policy. The Jakarta Automated Trading System (JATS) will automatically reject price orders input into the JATS at the Regular and Cash Markets if (i) the selling or buying order is smaller than Rp50;Rp50 (or Rp1 for rights and warrants); (ii) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 35% above or below the reference price for stock prices ranging from Rp50 to Rp200; (iii) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 25% above or below the reference price for stock price ranging from Rp200 to Rp5,000; and (iv) the selling or buying orders input into the JATS are more than 20% above or below the reference price for stock price that is more than Rp5,000. Auto rejection also arises when the selling offer or buying request volume reaches over 50,000 lot of equity securities or 5% of total securities listed, whichever is smaller. Stock trading as a result of initial public offering is determined twiceone fold wider than auto rejection percentage as mentioned above.

Amid anxiety over the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and disagreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia relating to oil production volumes and prices, IDX has experienced a challenging first quarter of 2020. As a result, the Jakarta Composite Index ("JCI") decreased by more than 29% over the same period. On March 12, 2020, the IDX imposed an unprecedented 30-minute trading halt. A few days before the trading halt, the IDX had taken various measures in an effort to calm the markets. These measures included, among others, the following: (i) Decree No. Kep-0024/BEI/03-2020 on Changes to the Guidelines on Handling Trading Continuity on the IDX in an Emergency Situation to, among other things, relax trading halt requirements, and (ii) a new IDX Trading Rule that, among other things, sets the limits beyond which JATS will auto-reject transactions on the IDX regular and cash markets when selling offers and/or buying orders for equity securities at exceed the price limits or amounts set by the IDX. Most recently, on September 10, 2020, the IDX announced a 30-minute trading halt due to the drop of the JCI in excess of 5% due to the announcement of the re-tightening of the large scale social restriction.

In order to change the rights of shareholders, an amendment to the relevant provisions of our Articles of Association is required. Any amendment to our Articles of Association requires the approval of the holder of the Dwiwarna Share and the other shareholders or their authorized proxies jointly representing at least two thirds of the total number of votes cast in the meeting.

124

Any GMS may only be convened upon the issuance of the requisite announcement by us. In addition, the Board of Directors may issue such announcement and convene an EGMS based onfollowing a written request by the Board of Commissioners or one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of our shares.shares, in aggregate. The announcement is to be published in at least one newspaper in Indonesia (in Bahasa Indonesia) having general circulation within Indonesia and on the website of our Company (in Bahasa Indonesia and/or other languages as determined by regulations) and the IDX. Such announcement of a GMS is required to be given to shareholders at least 14 days (without counting the notice date and the invitation date) prior to the invitation for the GMS. The invitation for the GMS is also required to be published in the same manner as with the announcement of the notice at least 21 days (without counting the invitation date and the meeting date) prior to the GMS. TheUnless otherwise specified by law or the Articles of Association, the quorum for AGMS or EGMS requires shareholders representing more than one-half of the total shares with voting rights issued by us.us and binding resolutions may be passed if approved by more than one-half of the shareholders attending the GMS with valid voting rights. In case the quorum is not reached, then invitation to a second meeting can be made without prior announcement that an invitation to a meeting will be made. Such invitation to the meeting is required to be served at least seven days prior to the second meeting (without counting the invitation date and the meeting date). The second meeting will be valid if attended by shareholders representing at least one-third of the total shares with valid voting rights and may pass binding resolutions if approved by at leastmore than one-half of the attended shareholders with valid voting rights. In case the quorum is not reached at the second meeting, a third meeting may be held, at our Company’sCompany's request, with the quorum of attendance and voting requirements to be determined by the Chairman of the OJK in accordance with the provisions of the laws.

Each Director and Commissioner has an obligation to report to the OJK with regard to their ownership and any changes in their ownership of our Company, and this obligation also applies to shareholders who, directly and indirectly, have an ownership stake of 5% or more in our paid up capital. Those shareholders would also have to report to OJK changes in their ownership of or in excess of 0.5% of our paid up capital. We believe that our Articles of Association are not significantly different from those generally prevailing in Indonesia in respect of companies listed on the IDX (other than with respect to provisions and rights relating to the Dwiwarna Share, which are common for SOEs listed on the IDX). We also believe that the provisions in our Articles of Association relating to changes in our capital are not more stringent than that required by Indonesian law.

Differences in the law

The laws of Indonesia applicable to Indonesian limited liability companies differ from the laws applicable to U.S. corporations and their shareholders in certain respects. Set forth below is a summary of certain differences between the provisions of Indonesian laws applicable to us and the Delaware General Corporation Law relating to shareholders' rights and protections.

146


Table of Contents

This summary is not intended to be a complete discussion of the respective rights under either Delaware General Corporation law or Indonesian law.

Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

Mergers and similar arrangements

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, with certain exceptions, a merger, consolidation, sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a corporation must be approved by the board of directors and a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon. A shareholder of a Delaware corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under certain circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which such shareholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair value of the shares held by such shareholder (as determined by a court) in lieu of the consideration such shareholder would otherwise receive in the transaction. The Delaware General Corporation Law also provides that a parent corporation, by resolution of its board of directors, may merge with any subsidiary, of which it owns at least 90.0% of each class of capital stock without a vote by the shareholders of such subsidiary. Upon any such merger, dissenting shareholders of the subsidiary would have appraisal rights.

Under Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies (as amended by the Job Creation Law, "Indonesian Company Law"), a merger or consolidation may only be completed if a merger/consolidation plan, containing the prescribed elements together with the draft deed of merger or draft deed of consolidation, is approved by a general meeting of shareholders of each of the companies involved. A three-quarters vote cast at the meeting is required at a general meeting of shareholders where a quorum of three-quarters of the shares with valid voting rights is present. Before the transaction is submitted for approval to the general meeting of shareholders, the directors must publish a summary of the merger/consolidation plan in one national newspaper and make an announcement in writing to the employees at least 30 days prior to "calling" the general meeting of shareholders.

Shareholders who do not agree with the proposed merger or consolidation will have the right to require the company to purchase their shares at the fair market value (appraisal rights).

Additional requirements are applicable for mergers or consolidations involving public companies.

Shareholder's suits

Class actions and derivative actions generally are available to shareholders of a Delaware corporation for, among other things, breach of fiduciary duty, corporate waste and actions not taken in accordance with applicable law. In such actions, the court has discretion to permit the winning party to recover attorneys' fees incurred in connection with such action.

Under Indonesian Company Law, any shareholder has a right to file a lawsuit with the district court whose jurisdiction covers the domicile of the company if the company's actions have caused damage to the shareholder on the ground that such actions, undertaken by virtue of a GMS, board of directors or board of commissioners resolution, were unfair and with no reasonable ground. Such actions must have resulted from resolutions of a general meeting of shareholders, board of directors meetings or board of commissioners meetings. Additionally, one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the total number of issued shares with lawful voting rights are entitled to file a lawsuit with the relevant district court on behalf of the company against the board of directors or members of the board of directors and the board of commissioners or members of the board of commissioners, whose fault or negligence caused losses to the company.

Shareholder vote on board and management compensation

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the board of directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors, unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

For Indonesian public companies, a remuneration and nomination committee (in practice, a committee under the board of commissioners) can assist the general meeting of shareholders in determining the amount of the remuneration of the members of the board of directors and board of commissioners. If a committee has not been formed for this purpose, the board of commissioners shall determine the remuneration of the board of directors and board of commissioners in accordance with the prevailing capital market rules. Any such amount, however, must be approved by the general meeting of shareholders.

Annual vote on board renewal

Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, directors are elected in an annual meeting of stockholders on a date and at a time designated by or in the manner provided in the bylaws. Re-election is possible.

Classified boards are permitted.

A member of the board of directors or board of commissioners is appointed by a general meeting of shareholders for a fixed duration. If the term of office has lapsed, the relevant director or commissioner can be re-appointed at a general meeting of shareholders

Specifically for public companies, directors and commissioners may not be appointed for a term of more than five years. Re-election is possible except that for an independent commissioner who has served two consecutive terms, he/she can only be reappointed if he/she submits a statement of independency to the general meeting of shareholders.

Indemnification of directors and executive management and limitation on liability

The Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors (but not other controlling persons) of the corporation for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty as a director, except no provision in the certificate of incorporation may eliminate or limit the liability of a director for:

     any breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its shareholders;

     acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

Unless ordered by a court, any foregoing indemnification is subject to a determination that the director or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct:

     by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to the proceeding, even though less than a quorum;

     by a committee of directors designated by a majority vote of the eligible directors, even though less than a quorum;

     by independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no eligible directors, or if the eligible directors so direct; or

     by the shareholders.

Moreover, a Delaware corporation may not indemnify a director or officer in connection with any proceeding in which the director or officer has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court determines that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, the director or officer is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses which the court deems proper. 

Directors' fiduciary duties

A director of a Delaware corporation has a fiduciary duty to the corporation and its shareholders. This duty has two components:

     the duty of care; and

     the duty of loyalty.

The duty of care requires that a director act in good faith, with the care that an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. Under this duty, a director must inform himself of and disclose to shareholders, all material information reasonably available regarding a significant transaction. The duty of loyalty requires that a director act in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the corporation. He must not use his corporate position for personal gain or advantage. This duty prohibits self-dealing by a director and mandates that the best interest of the corporation and its shareholders take precedence over any interest possessed by a director, officer or controlling shareholder and not shared by the shareholders generally. In general, actions of a director are presumed to have been made on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action taken was in the best interests of the corporation. However, this presumption may be rebutted by evidence of a breach of one of the fiduciary duties. Should such evidence be presented concerning a transaction by a director, a director must prove the procedural fairness of the transaction, and that the transaction was of fair value to the corporation. 

Under Indonesian Company Law, the board of directors is responsible for the management of the company and must act in good faith. The board of directors must act in the best interest of the company and in accordance with the company's purposes and objectives.

Transactions with interested shareholders

The Delaware General Corporation Law generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in certain business combinations with an "interested shareholder" for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder. An interested shareholder generally is a person or group who or which owns or owned 15.0% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock or who or which is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and owned 15.0% or more of the corporation's outstanding voting stock within the past three years.

For Indonesian public companies, affiliated party transaction and conflict of interest transaction rules may apply to transactions between public companies and any of their principal shareholders (where a "principal shareholder" is defined as the owner, directly or indirectly, of at least 20% of the outstanding shares in a public company) or "controlling persons" (pengendali) (defined as persons who (i) own more than 50% of the issued and paid-up shares in a company or (ii) have the ability to determine, directly or indirectly, in whatsoever manner, the management and/or policies of a company).

Affiliated Party Transaction

An affiliated party transaction is defined as any activity or transaction conducted by a public company or a controlled company: (i) with an affiliate (a category defined under Indonesian capital market rules which includes principal shareholders) of the public company or an affiliate of a member of the board of directors, the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) of such public company, or (ii) in the interest of an affiliate of a member of the board of directors, the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) of such public company.

Affiliated party transactions must be, among other things, in compliance with the public company's internal policy governing related party transactions, disclosed to the public, reported to the relevant authority, and supported by a fairness opinion issued by a registered independent appraiser, unless it is an exempt transaction.

Conflict of Interest Transaction

A conflict of interest is defined as the difference between the economic interests of a public company and the personal economic interests of its directors, commissioners, principal shareholders or controlling persons (pengendali), which may cause losses to such company. In practice, fairness opinions by a registered independent appraiser are used to assess whether a transaction may be affected by a conflict of interest. By law, OJK has discretion to determine if certain affiliated party transactions involve any conflict of interest, and would therefore require the approval of independent shareholders.

152


Table of Contents

Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

If the transaction between the public company and a principal shareholder is deemed a conflict of interest transaction, the public company needs to, among other things, obtain the approval of its independent shareholders in a general meeting of shareholders, unless exempted. Independent shareholders are defined as shareholders having no conflict of interest in respect of the transaction, and the independent shareholders must make a declaration to that effect, and is not a member of the board of directors, a member of the board of commissioners, a principal shareholder or a controlling person (pengendali) (or an affiliate of the foregoing persons or entities) of such public company.

Dissolution; Winding up

Unless the board of directors of a Delaware corporation approves the proposal to dissolve, dissolution must be approved by shareholders holding 100.0% of the total voting power of the corporation. Only if the dissolution is initiated by the board of directors may it be approved by a simple majority of the corporation's outstanding shares. Delaware law allows a Delaware corporation to include in its certificate of incorporation a supermajority voting requirement in connection with dissolutions initiated by the board. 

Dissolution of a company must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders; such meeting has to be attended by shareholders holding at least three-quarters of the total number of outstanding shares in the company carrying valid voting rights. The approval must be obtained by a majority of at least three-quarters of the total votes validly cast at the meeting.

Variation of rights of shares

A Delaware corporation may vary the rights of a class of shares with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares of such class, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

Indonesian Company Law allows companies to issue different classes of shares. Varying rights of existing shares or issuing new classes of shares with different rights requires amending the company's articles of association. Such amendment must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders.

Amendment of governing documents

A Delaware corporation's governing documents may be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote, unless the certificate of incorporation provides otherwise.

To amend the articles of association of an Indonesian limited liability company, a general meeting of shareholders is required. Unless the existing articles of association stipulate a higher quorum, a general meeting of shareholders can be held if attended by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the total issued voting shares. The general meeting of shareholders may adopt valid resolutions with affirmative votes of at least two-thirds of the total votes validly cast at the meeting. For public companies, affirmative votes representing more than two-thirds of the total votes validly cast in the meeting are required.

Inspection of books and records

Shareholders of a Delaware corporation, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose and to obtain copies of list(s) of shareholders and other books and records of the corporation and its subsidiaries, if any, to the extent the books and records of such subsidiaries are available to the corporation.

Examination of documents and information pertaining to the company may be requested for the purpose of obtaining data or information if a director's or a commissioner's unlawful act is suspected to have caused losses to the company, its shareholders or third parties. An application must be made to the district court having jurisdiction over the domicile of the company. The application requesting the right to examine the company must be made in good faith and based on fair reasoning.

Such application can be made by:

     one or more shareholders holding at least 10% of the total number of issued voting shares;

     any other party that, pursuant to prevailing regulations, the company's articles of association or an agreement with the company, is granted such authority to submit the request for examination; or

     the State Attorney, for public order purposes.

Payment of dividends

The board of directors may approve a dividend without shareholder approval. Subject to any restrictions contained in its certificate of incorporation, the board may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either:

     out of its surplus; or

     in case there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared or the preceding fiscal year.

Stockholder approval is required to authorize capital stock in excess of that provided in the charter. Directors may issue authorized shares without stockholder approval. 

Indonesian Company Law provides that dividends can be paid to shareholders from the company's cumulative net profits (after deductions for allocation to the reserve fund). If a loss is booked by the company in a preceding financial year and cannot be covered by the reserve fund, such loss should be carried forward and in the current financial year, the company will still be deemed to be making a loss if this carried over loss cannot be covered by the current financial year's profit. Under such circumstances, the company is not be able to distribute dividends from profits it earned in the current financial year.

Before the company pays dividends, the company must reserve its profits until it reaches an amount equal to at least 20% of the company's subscribed and paid-up capital. This means that if the company already has a compulsory reserve, the rest of the accumulated net profit can be distributed as dividends.

Interim dividends may also be distributed, provided that:

154


Table of Contents

Delaware Law

Indonesian Law

     the company's articles of association allow it;

     the amount of the company's net profit exceeds the amount of the issued and paid-up capital plus the reserve fund; and

     the distribution of the interim dividends will neither cause the company to be unable to pay its obligations to its creditors, nor disrupt the company's operations.

Creation and issuance of new shares

All creation of shares requires the board of directors to adopt a resolution or resolutions, pursuant to authority expressly vested in the board of directors by the provisions of the company's certificate of incorporation.

Issuance of new shares must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders (with different quorum and voting requirements applicable depending on whether the company seeks to increase its authorized capital or not).

     Issuance of new shares in an amount that is still within the company's authorized capital must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders attended by shareholders representing more than one-half of the total number of issued voting shares in the company, and the decision must be approved by shareholders representing more than one-half of the total votes validly cast at the meeting.

     Issuance of new shares in an amount that exceeds the company's authorized capital must be approved by a general meeting of shareholders attended by shareholders representing at least two-thirds of the total number of issued voting shares. The general meeting of shareholders may adopt valid resolutions with affirmative votes representing at least two-thirds of the total votes validly cast at the meeting (or more than two-thirds for public companies).

Certain Considerations Regarding U.S. Federal Income Tax

The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders, as defined below, of ADSs or common stock that are held as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code"). This summary is based upon the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, published rulings and court decisions, as well as the Convention between the Government of the United States and the Government of the Republic of Indonesia for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and the Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with Respect to Taxes on Income (the "Treaty"), each as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, or changes in interpretation, possibly with retroactive effect. In addition, this discussion is based in part upon representations of the depositary and the assumption that each obligation in the deposit agreement and any related agreements will be performed according to its terms.

159


This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation which may be relevant to particular investors in light of their individual investment circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (including, but not limited to, a person who directly, indirectly or constructively owns 10% or more of the stock of the company, a person who acquires ADSs or common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee share option or otherwise as compensation, banks and other financial institutions, insurance companies, broker or dealers in securities, a trader in securities who elects to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for its securities holdings, a person that may have been liable for alternative minimum tax, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, partnerships and their partners, individual retirement and other tax-deferred accounts, certain former U.S. citizens or long-term residents, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)), holders who are not U.S. Holders, investors that will hold ADSs or common stock as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors subject to special tax accounting rules as a result of any item of gross income with respect to the ADSs or common stock being taken into account in an applicable financial statement, or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ significantly from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not address U.S. federal estate, gift or alternative minimum taxes, the U.S. federal Medicare tax on net investment income, or state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations. Each holderU.S. Holder is urged to consult itssuch holder's tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income, and other tax considerations of their investment in the ADSs or common stock.

For purposes of this summary, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner of ADSs or common stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

i

(i)

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

(ii)

a corporation, created in, or organized under the laws of, the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

(iii)

an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

(iv)

a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more U.S. persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has made a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person under the Code.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of ADSs or common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership (or interest holder in the "tax transparent" entity) will generally depend on the status of the partner (or interest holder) and the activities of the partnership (or "tax transparent" entity). In general, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders of ADSs will be treated as the beneficial owners of the underlying common stock represented by the ADSs.

129

Prospective purchasers should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of ADSs or common stock, in light of their particular circumstances.

160


Distributions on the Common Stock or ADSs

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company," the gross U.S. Dollar amount of any distribution of cash or property (without deduction for any tax withheld), other than certain pro rata distributions of common stock, we make on the common stock or ADSs out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) will generally be includible in a U.S. Holder's gross income as ordinary dividend income when the distribution is actually or constructively received by you,such U.S. Holder, or by the depositary in the case of ADSs. We do not calculate earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. tax principles. Accordingly, all distributions by us to U.S. Holders will generally be treated as dividends. Any dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction generally granted to U.S. corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations. The amount of any distribution of property other than cash will be the fair market value of such property on the date of such distribution.

The U.S. Dollar amount of dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders will generally be taxable at favorable rates as opposed to being taxable at ordinary income rates if the dividends are "qualified dividends." Dividends paid on ADSs or common stocks will be treated as qualified dividends if (i) certain holding period requirements are met, (ii) either the Treaty is a qualified treaty for the purposes of the "qualified dividend" rules, or the dividends are with respect to ADSs readily tradable on a U.S. securities market, and (iii) we were not, in the taxable year prior to the year in which the dividend was paid, and are not, in the year in which the dividend is paid, a "passive foreign investment company," or PFIC. The Treaty has been approved for the purposes of the qualified dividend rules, and we expect to qualify for benefits under the Treaty so long as there is substantial and regular trading in our common stock on the IDX. We are considered a qualified foreign corporation with respect to the ADSs because our ADSs are listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Based on our Consolidated Financial Statements and relevant market data, we believe that we did not satisfy the definition for PFIC status for U.S. federal income tax purposes with respect to our 20182020 taxable year. In addition, based on our Consolidated Financial Statements and our current expectations regarding the value and nature of our assets, the sources and nature of our income, and relevant market data, we do not believe we were a PFIC for our 2018 taxable year, and we do not anticipate we will be a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. However, our status infor the current2020 taxable year and future taxable years will depend on our income and assets (which for this purpose depends in part on the market value of the ADSs or common shares) in those years. See the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company."

U.S. Holders of ADSs or common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability of the reduced dividend tax rate in light of their own particular circumstances.

The amount of the dividend distribution paid in any foreign currency that a U.S. Holder must include in its income will be the U.S. Dollar value of the foreign currency payments made, determined at the spot rate on the date the dividend distribution is actually or constructively received, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. Dollars.Dollar. Generally, any gain or loss resulting from currency exchange fluctuations during the period from the date the U.S. Holder includes the dividend payment in income to the date it converts the payment into U.S. Dollars will be treated as ordinary income or loss from U.S. sources.

Subject to certain complex limitations, including the PFIC rules discussed below, any Indonesian tax withheld from distributions to a U.S. Holder in accordance with the Treaty generally will be deductible or creditable, at such U.S. Holder's option, against such U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability. If a U.S. Holder elects to claim a deduction, rather than a foreign tax credit, for a particular taxable year, such election will apply to all foreign taxes paid or accrued by or on behalf of the U.S. Holder in the particular year. Dividends paid by us generally will constitute income from sources outside the United States for U.S. foreign tax credit limitation purposes and will be categorized as "passive category income" or, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, as "general category income" for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

A U.S. Holder may not be able to claim a foreign tax credit (and instead may claim a deduction) for non-U.S. taxes imposed on dividends paid on the ADSs or common stock if yousuch U.S. Holder (i) have held the ADSs or common shares for less than a specified minimum period during which you aresuch U.S. Holder was not protected from risk of loss with respect to such shares, or (ii) areis obligated to make payments related to the dividends (for example, pursuant to a short sale). The rules relating to the U.S. foreign tax credit are complex and U.S. Holders may be subject to various limitations on the amount of foreign tax credits that are available. A U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the effect of these rules in their particular circumstance.circumstances.

In the event we are required to withhold Indonesian income tax on dividends paid to U.S. Holders on the ADSs or common stock (see discussion under "Indonesian Taxation"), a U.S. Holder may be able to claim a reduced rate of Indonesian withholding tax if such U.S. Holder is eligible for benefits under the Treaty. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the eligibility for reduction of Indonesian withholding tax.

Sale or Other Disposition of ADSs or Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under "Passive Foreign Investment Company," upon a sale, exchange or other disposition of the ADSs or common stock, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference between the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized and the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis, determined in U.S. Dollars,Dollar, in such ADSs or common stock. Gain or loss recognized upon the sale or other disposition of ADSs or common stock will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for such ADSs or common stock exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to significant limitations.

A U.S. Holder that receives foreign currency from a sale or disposition of ADSs or common stock generally will realize an amount equal to the U.S. Dollar value of the foreign currency determined on (i) the date of receipt of payment in the case of a cash basiscash-basis U.S. Holder and (ii) the date of disposition in the case of an accrual basisaccrual-basis U.S. Holder. If our ADSs or common stock are treated as traded on an "established securities market," a cash basiscash-basis taxpayer or, if it so elects, an accrual basisaccrual-basis taxpayer, will determine the U.S. Dollar value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale. A U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency received equal to the U.S. Dollar amount realized. Any currency exchange gain or loss realized on a subsequent conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. Dollars for a different amount generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss from sources within the United States. However, if such foreign currency is converted into U.S. Dollars on the date received by the U.S. Holder, a cash-basis or electing accrual basisaccrual-basis U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss on such conversion.

Any gain or loss will generally be U.S. source gain or loss for foreign tax credit limitation purposes and as a result of the U.S. foreign tax credit limitation, foreign taxes, if any, imposed upon capital gains in respect of the ADSs or common stock may not be currently creditable. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on a disposition of ADSs or common stock, including the availability of a foreign tax credit or deduction in respect of any foreign tax imposed on a sale or other disposition of ADSs or common stock.

Passive Foreign Investment Company

The Code provides special, generally adverse, rules regarding certain distributions received by U.S. persons with respect to, and sales, exchanges and other dispositions, including pledges, of shares of stock of, a PFIC. In general, a foreign corporation is a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after applying relevant look-through rules with respect to the income and assets of subsidiaries:

75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the sale of assets that give rise to passive income; or

50% or more of the average quarterly value of its gross assets during such year consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

75% or more of its gross income for such year consists of passive income, such as dividends, interest, rents, royalties, and gains from the sale of assets that give rise to passive income; or

50% or more of the average quarterly value of its gross assets during such year consists of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, passive income.

131162


"Passive income" for this purpose includes, for example, dividends, interest, royalties, rents and gains from commodities and securities transactions and the excess of gains over losses from the disposition of assets which produce passive income. Passive income does not include rents and royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business. If the stock of a non-U.S. corporation is publicly traded for the taxable year, the asset test is applied using the fair market value of the assets for purposes of measuring such corporation's assets. If we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% (by value) of the stock of another corporation, we will be treated, for purposes of the PFIC tests, as owning our proportionate share of the other corporation's assets and receiving our proportionate share of the other corporation's income for purposes of the PFIC income and asset tests.

We do not believe we were a PFIC for prior taxable years, and based on the current and anticipated composition of our assets and income and the current expectations regarding the price of the ADSs and common stock, we do not believe that we are a PFIC for the currentour 2020 taxable year and we do not expect to become a PFIC for future taxable years. This is a factual determination, however, that must be made annually at the end of the taxable year. Therefore, there can be no assurance that we will not be classified as a PFIC for the currentour 2020 taxable year or for any future taxable year. However, the determination of PFIC status is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year, and therefore, there can be no certainty as to our status in this regard until the close of the 2019 taxable year. Changes in the nature of our income or assets or a decrease in the trading price of the ADSs or common stock may cause us to be considered a PFIC in the current or any subsequent year.

If we were a PFIC in any taxable year that a U.S. Holder held the ADSs or common stock, such U.S. Holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to "excess distributions" made by us on the ADSs or common stock and with respect to gain from youra U.S. Holder's disposition of the ADSs or common stock. An "excess distribution" generally is defined as the excess of the distributions you receivea U.S. Holder receives with respect to the ADSs or common stock in any taxable year, over 125% of the average annual distributions you havethat such U.S. Holder has received from us during the shorter of the three preceding years, or yoursuch U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or common stock. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the ADSs or common stock ratably over yoursuch U.S. Holder’s holding period for the ADSs or common stock. The portion of the excess distribution or gain allocated to a prior taxable year, other than a year prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be taxed at the highest U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income in effect for such taxable year, and youa U.S. Holder would be subject to an interest charge (at the rate generally applicable to an underpayment of tax) on the resulting tax liability, determined as if the tax liability had been due with respect to such particular taxable year. The portion of the excess distribution or gain that is not allocated to prior taxable years, together with the portion allocated to the years prior to the first year in which we became a PFIC, would be included in youra U.S. Holder’s gross income for the taxable years of the excess distribution or disposition and taxed as ordinary income.

If we were a PFIC in any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, we would generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder’sHolder's investment unless the U.S. Holder has made certain elections under the PFIC rules, such as a mark-to-market election or a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") election. Prospective investors should assume, however, that a QEF election will not be available because we do not expect to provide U.S. Holders with the information needed to make such an election. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors concerning the consequences to them if we are or become a PFIC, including but not limited to any reporting requirements and the availability and applicability of any election that may be available to mitigate adverse consequences, in light of such U.S. Holders’Holders' particular circumstances.

If we were regarded as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of ADSs or common stock generally would be required to file an information return on Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Form 8621 for any year in which the U.S. Holder received a direct or indirect distribution with respect to the ADSs or common stock, recognized gain on a direct or indirect disposition of the ADSs or common stock, or made an election with respect to the ADSs or common stock, reporting distributions received and gains realized with respect to the ADSs or common stock. In addition, if we were regarded as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder would be required to file an annual information return (also on IRS Form 8621) relating to the U.S. Holder's ownership of the ADSs or common stock. This requirement would be in addition to other reporting requirements applicable to ownership in a PFIC.

The rules applicable to owning stock of a PFIC are complex. We encourage youU.S. Holders to consult yourtheir own tax advisoradvisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding the ADSs or common stock that would arise if we were considered a PFIC.

132163


Backup Withholding Tax and Information Reporting Requirements

U.S. backup withholding tax and information reporting requirements generally apply to certain payments made to certain non-corporate holders of stock. Information reporting generally will apply to payments of dividends on and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of ADSs or common stock made within the United States or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman to a holder of ADSs or common stock (other than an "exempt recipient," including a corporation, a payee that is not a U.S. person that provides an appropriate certification, and certain other persons).

A payor will be required to withhold backup withholding tax from any payments of dividends on, or the proceeds from the sale or redemption of, ADSs or common stock within the United States or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman to a U.S. Holder, other than an exempt recipient, if such U.S. Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, such backup withholding tax requirements. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and may be credited against a U.S. Holder’sHolder's regular U.S. federal income tax liability or, if in excess of such liability, refunded by the IRS if a timely refund claim is filed with the IRS.

Information With Respect To Foreign Financial Assets

Certain U.S. Holders may be required to report information with respect to such holder's interest in "specified foreign financial assets" (as defined in Section 6038D of the Code), including stock of a non-U.S. corporation that is not held in an account maintained by certain financial institutions, if the aggregate value of all such assets exceeds certain dollar thresholds. Persons who are required to report specified foreign financial assets and fail to do so may be subject to substantial penalties. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the foreign financial asset reporting obligations and their possible application to the holding of the ADSs or common stock.

The discussion above is a general summary only. It is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations applicable to an investment in ADSs or common stock. YouEach prospective U.S. Holder should consult with yoursuch U.S. Holder’s own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences to yousuch U.S. Holder of an investment in ADSs or common stock, in light of yoursuch U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

ITEM 11.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks that arise from changes in foreign exchange rates and interest rates risk, each of which will have an impact on us. We do not generally hedge our long-term liabilities in foreign currencies but hedge our obligations for the current year. As of December 31, 2018,2020, assets in foreign currencies reached 109% against represented 172% of our liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to interest rate risk is managed through a mix of fixed and variable rate liabilities and assets, including short-term fixed rate assets. Our exposure to such market risks fluctuated during 2016, 20172018, 2019 and 20182020 as the Indonesian economy was affected by changes in the U.S. Dollar to Indonesian Rupiah exchange rate and interest rates themselves. We are not able to predict whether such conditions will continue during 20192021 or thereafter.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We are exposed to foreign exchange risk on sales, purchases and borrowings that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily in U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen. Our exposures to other foreign exchange rates are not material. The foreign currency exchange rate risks on our obligations are expected to be partly offset by time deposits and receivables denominated in foreign currencies, which are setgenerally equal to be more thanat least 25% of our short term obligations.current foreign currency liabilities.

The information presentedFor the sensitivity analysis of the risk of foreign exchange rate exposure, we take into consideration the assets and liabilities with exposure to the fluctuation of exchange rates recorded in the following table is based on assumptions of bidour consolidated balance sheet. This analysis considers only financial assets and offer ratesfinancial liabilities registered in U.S. Dollar as well asand Japanese Yen, since our exposure to exchange variations against other foreign currencies which were quoted by Reutersis not material.

Information on December 31, 2018such sensitivity analysis showing the impact on our equity and applied respectively to monetary assetsprofit/(loss) of hypothetical variations of the U.S. Dollar and liabilities. The bid and offer ratesthe Japanese Yen against the Rupiah as of December 31, 2018 were Rp14,3752020 can be found in Note 35.b.i of our Consolidated Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2020, we estimate that 1% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Rupiah and Rp14,3855% appreciation of the Japanese Yen against the Rupiah would cause Rp33 billion profit (compared to US$1.00,Rp18 billion profit as of December 31, 2019) and Rp21 billion loss (compared to Rp25 billion loss as of December 31, 2019), respectively.

However, Further, as of December 31, 2020, we believe these assumptions and the information described in the following table may be influenced by a number of factors, including a fluctuation and/orestimate that 1% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar against the Rupiah and 5% depreciation of the Japanese Yen against the Rupiah would cause Rp33 billion loss and Rp21 billion profit, respectively. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in the future.particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

The below table shows a break down by main categories of financial assets and financial liabilities of our exposure to foreign currency risk as of December 31, 2020:

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to interest rate fluctuations results primarily from changes to the floating rate applied for long-term debt. Borrowings at variable interest rates expose our Company and our subsidiaries to interest rate risk. In order to reduce our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, we aim to balance the share of our fixed rate loans and floating rate loans in our bank borrowings. We try to achieve this where there are opportunities to increase the share of fixed-rate loans in our overall loan portfolio in light of prevailing interest rates available in the market at any given time and based on market and our expectations as to future floating and fixed interest rates. As of December 31, 2020, approximately 61.4% (based on the aggregate then outstanding principal) of our total bank borrowings were floating-rate loans. To measure market risk fluctuations in interest rates, our Company and our subsidiaries primarily use the interest margin and maturity profile of the financial assets and liabilities based on the changing schedule of the interest rate.

The actual cash flows fromIn this annual report on Form 20-F, we chose to provide investors with the results of a sensitivity analysis related to our debt are denominatedinterest rate risk sensitive instruments as opposed to the tabular presentation of information related to interest rate risk sensitive instruments we disclosed in Rupiah, U.S. Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and Japanese Yen, as appropriate and as indicatedprevious annual reports on Form 20-F. We believe such presentation, together with comparable information for the financial year ended December 31, 2019, makes it easier to understand the impact of variations in the table. The information presented in the table has been determined based on the following assumptions: (i) fixed interest rates on Rupiah time deposits are based on averageour Company's financial performance and financial position as we use selected hypothetical changes in interest rates offeredto illustrate such impact. We also believe this type of sensitivity analysis provides useful information and is widely used by investors for three-month placements in effect as of December 31, 2018 bymeasuring the banks where such deposits were located; (ii) variable interest rates on Rupiah denominated long-term liabilities are calculated as of December 31, 2018 and are based on contractual terms setting interest rates based on average rates for the preceding six months on three-month certificates issued by Bank Indonesia or based on the average three-month deposit rate offered by the lenders; (iii) fixed interest rates on U.S. Dollar deposits are based on average interest rates offered for three-month placements by the various lending institutions where such deposits are located as of December 31, 2018; and (iv) the value of marketable securities is based on the valueimpact of such securitiesvariations on December 31, 2018. However, these assumptions may change in the future. These assumptions are different from the rates used in our Consolidated Financial Statements; accordingly, amounts shown in the table may differ from the amounts shown in our Consolidated Financial Statements.interest rate risk sensitive instruments held by issuers.

As of December 31, 2020, we estimate that a decrease by 25 basis points in the interest rates of our variable rate borrowings would have increased our equity and profit or loss by Rp99 billion (compared with a Rp73 billion increase as of December 31, 2020); a similar increase by 25 basis points in the interest rates of our variable rate borrowings would have decreased our equity and profit or loss by Rp99 billion (compared with a Rp73 billion decrease as of December 31, 2020). The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rates, remain constant.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or counterparty to settle its financial obligations to us in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract as and when they fall due. Credit risk arises mainly from trade receivables from the sales of products and services. Our management has a credit policy in place to monitor credit risk on an ongoing basis. As at December 31, 2020 there were
no significant concentrations of credit risk. Since early 2020, however, due to the COVID-19 outbreak, certain of our customers, in particular in the Enterprise segment, have been facing business and financial difficulties. We have increased the monitoring of our customers' accounts and the balance of our receivables. We have agreement to postpone payments of fees due for certain of our enterprise customers in consideration of our pre-existing business relationship with them and in light of current circumstances and hardship. In an effort to attenuate such counterparty risk, since early 2020 we have asked our individual customers to make a one-month deposit based on their standard subscription fee that can be used to offset any fee amount accrued and unpaid. As at December 31, 2020, customers' default on fee payments had not significantly increased compared to the preceding financial year. For additional information on the maximum exposure to credit risk of our financial assets as at December 31, 2020, please refer to Note 35.b.iv to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk

We classify our financial assets as at amortized cost, at Fair Value through Profit or Loss ("FVTPL") and Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income ("FVTOCI"). We are exposed to changes in debt and equity market prices related to financial assets measured at FVTPL carried at fair value. Gains arising from changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at FVTPL are recognized in our consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. We monitor periodically the performance of our financial assets measured at FVTPL, and we regularly assess their relevance to our long-term strategic plans.

As of December 31, 2020, our management considered the price risk for our financial assets measured at FVTPL to be immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss and total equity from a reasonably possible change in fair value.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises in situations where we experience difficulties in fulfilling our financial obligations when they become due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash in order to meet our financial obligations. We regularly monitor our financial position ratios, such as liquidity ratios and debt-to-equity ratios, and our ability to comply with applicable covenant in our financial agreements. For additional information on our exposure to liquidity risk, please refer to Note 35.b.v to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 12.           DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES OTHER THAN EQUITY SECURITIES

American Depositary Shares

Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (previously "The Bank of New York") serves as the "Depositary" for our ADSs, which are traded on the NYSE. See Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 20-F for a description of our ADSs.

167


Table of Contents

Investors pay a depositary fee directly, or through a broker acting on their behalf, for the delivery or surrender of ADSs for the purpose of withdrawal. The Depositary also collects fees for making distributions to investors by deducting the fee from the amount distributed or by selling a portion of the distributable property to pay the fee. The Depositary may collect its annual fee for depositary services by making a deduction from the cash distributions or by directly billing investors or charging the book-entry system accounts of the parties acting on their behalf. The Depositary may refuse to provide fee-generating services until its bills for such services are paid.

Deposit, Withdrawal and Cancellation

Shares or evidence of the right to receive shares may be deposited by delivery to the custodian, accompanied by the required documentation and certification and, if the Depositary requires, together with a written order directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order, an ADR or ADRs for the number of ADS representing such deposit. The deposited securities, which shall consist of the deposited shares and any and all other securities, property and cash deposited with the Depositary or the custodian (the "Deposited Securities") shall be held by the Depositary or by a custodian for the account and to the order of the Depositary or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine.

Upon receipt by the custodian of any deposit, together with the other documents required, the custodian shall notify the Depositary and the person or persons to whom or upon whose written order an ADR or ADRs are deliverable. Upon receiving such notice from the custodian, or upon the receipt of shares by the Depositary, and upon the receipt of the payment of applicable fees, taxes and charges, the Depositary will execute and deliver to or upon the order of the person or persons entitled to the ADRs the appropriate number of ADRs registered in the name or names and evidencing any authorized number of ADS requested by such person.

Holders of ADRs may surrender their ADRs at the Depositary's corporate trust office. Upon such surrender and the payment of applicable fees, taxes and charges, the Depositary shall deliver to such holders or upon their order the amount of Deposited Securities at the time represented by the ADS evidenced by the ADR. Delivery of such Deposited Securities may be made by the delivery of (a) certificates in the name of such person in whose name an ADR is registered (an "ADR Holder") or as ordered by him or certificates properly endorsed or accompanied by proper instruments of transfer to such owner or as ordered by him and (b) any other securities, property and cash to which such owner is then entitled in respect of such ADRs. The Deposited Securities are to be delivered at the corporate trust office of the Depositary, if feasible.

Rights of the ADR Holders to Inspect the Books of the Depositary and the List of ADR Holders

The Depositary will make available for inspection by ADR Holders the books for the registration and transfers of ADRs at its corporate trust office, provided that such inspection shall not be for the purpose of communicating with the ADR Holders in the interest of a business or object other than our business or a matter related to the Deposit Agreement or the ADRs.

Voting Rights

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting of shareholders or other Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall provide ADR Holders with a notice of such meeting. Such notice shall contain the same information as is contained in such notice of meeting and a statement that the ADR Holders as of the close of business on a specified record date will be entitled to instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights, if any, pertaining to the amount of shares represented by their respective ADSs and a statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the ADR Holder's request on such record date, received on or before the date specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall endeavor, in so far as practicable, to vote or cause to be voted the amount of shares or other Deposited Securities represented by the ADS evidenced by such ADR in accordance with the ADR Holder's instructions.

136168


If no such instructions are received by the Depositary on or before the date specified by the Depositary, the Depositary shall deem that such holder of ADRs has instructed the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by us with respect to such Deposited Securities and, if and to the extent permitted under Indonesian laws and our Articles of Association, the Depositary shall give a direction proxy to a person designated by us to vote such Deposited Securities, except where we have informed the Depositary that we do not wish such proxy to be given or that such matter materially and adversely affects the rights of the holders of the shares.

Dividends and Other Distributions

An ADR Holder generally has the right to receive the distributions we make on the Deposited Securities. Such ADR Holder's receipt of these distributions may be limited, however, by practical considerations and legal limitations. ADR Holders will receive such distributions under the terms of the Deposit Agreement in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of a specified record date, after deduction the applicable fees, taxes and expenses.

Cash Distributions

Whenever the Depositary receives any cash dividend or other cash distribution on any Deposited Securities, the Depositary shall convert such dividend or distribution into U.S. Dollars and distribute the amount so receive to the entitled ADR Holders in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held by them. Where we are or the Depositary is required to withhold from such cash dividend or such other cash distribution an amount on account of taxes or other governmental charges, and such amount is so withheld, the amount distributed to the relevant ADR Holders shall be reduced accordingly.

Distributions of Shares

When a distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, shares, the Depositary may distribute to the entitled ADR Holders, in proportion to the number of ADS representing such Deposited Securities held by them respectively, additional ADRs evidencing an aggregate number of ADS representing the amount of shares received as dividend or free distribution, subject to the terms and conditions of the Deposit Agreement and the withholding or any tax or other governmental charge. If we have not provided satisfactory assurances that such distribution would not require registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, the Depositary may withhold the distribution of ADRs.

In lieu of delivering receipts for fractional ADS, the Depositary shall sell the amount of share represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the net proceeds as in the case of a cash distribution.

Distributions of Rights

In the event that we offer or cause to be offered to the holders of any Deposited Securities, any rights to subscribe for additional shares or any rights of any other nature, the Depositary, after having consulted with us, shall have discretion as to the procedure to be followed in making such rights available to any ADR Holders or in disposing of such rights on behalf of any ADR Holders. If, by the terms of such rights offering or for any other reason, the Depositary may not either make such rights available to any ADR Holders, or dispose of such rights and make the net proceeds available to such ADR Holders in U.S. Dollar, the Depositary shall allow the rights to lapse.

If at the time of the offering of any rights the Depositary determines in its discretion that it is lawful and feasible to make such rights available to all or certain ADR Holders but not to other ADR Holders, the Depositary may, after consultation with us, distribute to any ADR Holder to whom it determines the distribution to be lawful and feasible, in proportion to the number of ADS held by such ADR Holder, warrants or other instruments in such form as it deems appropriate.

In circumstances in which rights would otherwise not be distributed, if an ADR Holder requests the distribution of warrants or other instruments in order to exercise the rights allocable to the ADS of such ADR Holder, the Depositary will make such rights available to such ADR Holder upon written notice from us to the Depositary. ADRs so distributed shall be legend in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and all be subject to the appropriate restrictions on sale, deposit, cancellation, and transfer under such laws.

Costs RelatedIf the Depositary has distributed warrants or other instruments for rights to all or certain ADR Holders, upon instruction from such ADR Holder pursuant to such warrants or other instruments to the Depositary to exercise such rights, upon payment by such ADR Holder to the Depositary for the account of such ADR Holder of an amount equal to the purchase price of the shares to be received upon the exercise of the rights, and upon payment of the fees of the Depositary and any other applicable charges, the Depositary shall, on behalf of such ADR Holder, exercise such rights and purchase the shares. The shares will then be deposited and the Depositary shall execute and deliver the ADRs to the ADR Holder.

If the Depositary determines that it is not lawful and feasible to make such right available to all or certain ADR Holders, it may sell the rights, warrants or other instruments in proportion to the number of ADS Issueheld by the ADR Holders to whom it has determined may not lawfully or feasibly make such rights available, and Handlingallocate the net proceeds of such sales (net of the fees of the Depositary and all taxes and governmental charges), upon averaged or other practical basis without regard to any distinctions among such ADR Holders because of exchange restrictions or the date of deliver of any ADR or otherwise and distribute the net proceeds to the extent possible as in the case of a cash distribution.

AUDIT COMMITTEE PRE-APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

We have adopted pre-approval policies and procedures under which all non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm must be pre-approved by our Audit Committee, as set forth in the Audit Committee Charter. Pursuant to the charter, permissible non-audit services may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm provided that: (i) our Board of Directors must deliver to the Audit Committee (through the Board of Commissioners) a detailed description of the non-audit service that is to be performed by the independent public accounting firm, and (ii) the Audit Committee will determine whether the proposed non-audit service will affect the independence of our independent public accounting firm or would give rise to any conflict of interest.

Pursuant to Section 10(i)(1)(B) of the Exchange Act and paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X issued there under, our Audit Committee Charter waives the pre-approval requirement for permissible non-audit services where: (i) the aggregate amount of the fees for such non-audit services constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of fees paid by us to our independent registered public accounting firm during the year in which the services are provided; or (ii) the proposed services are not regarded as non-audit services at the time the contract to perform the engagement is signed. In addition to these two requirements, the performance of non-audit services must be approved prior to the completion of the audit by a member of the Audit Committee who has been delegated pre-approval authority by the full Audit Committee, or by the full Audit Committee itself.itself.

ITEM 16D.         EXEMPTIONS FROM THE LISTING STANDARDS FOR AUDIT COMMITTEES

The NYSE listing standards require that a United States listed company must have an audit committee, a nominating/corporate governance committee and a compensation committee. Each of these committees must consist solely of independent directors and must have a written charter that addresses certain matters specified in the listing standards.

The Indonesian Company Law does not require Indonesian public companies to form any of the committees described in the NYSE listing standards. However, the OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires the board of commissioners of a public company to establish an audit committee which is chaired by an independent commissioner. In addition, the OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires each member of such audit committee to be either an independent commissioner or external independent member, with the audit committee comprised of at least three members with at least one independent commissioner and one external independent member and at least one member of the audit committee having expertise in accounting or finance.

175


Table of Contents

The NYSE listing standards, as required by Rule 10A-3(c)(3) of the Exchange Act require foreign private issuers whose shares are listed on the NYSE to have an audit committee comprised of independent directors. However, such foreign private issuers may be exempted from the independence requirement if: (i) the home country government or stock exchange requires the company to have an audit committee; (ii) the audit committee is separate from the board of directors and includes non-board members as in our case, members from the Board of Commissioners; (iii) the audit committee members are not selected by management and no executive officer of the company is a member of the audit committee; (iv) the home country government or stock exchange requires the audit committee to be independent of the company’scompany's management; and (v) the audit committee is responsible for the appointment, retention and oversight of the work of external auditors. We avail ourselves of this exemption and document this on our Section 303A Annual Written Affirmations submitted to the NYSE. However, unlike the NYSE listing standards requirements, according to the current regulations relating to audit committees in Indonesia, our Audit Committee does not have direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation and retention of an external auditor. Our Audit Committee may only recommend the appointment of an external auditor to the Board of Commissioners and the Board of Commissioner’sCommissioner's decision must have the approval of the shareholders.

Our Audit Committee has sixseven members: three Independent Commissioners, onetwo Commissioners and two external independent members who are not affiliated with our Company.

140

Not all members of our Audit Committee are independent directors as required by Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. We rely on the general exemption under Rule 10A-3(c)(3) regarding the composition of our Audit Committee. We believe that our reliance on this exemption does not materially and adversely affect the ability of our Audit Committee to act independently.

Further, we believe that the intent of the provision which requires each member of an audit committee to be an independent director is to ensure that the audit committee is independent from influence by management and provides a forum separate from management in which auditors and other interested parties can candidly discuss concerns. The OJK Audit Committee Regulation requires each member of an audit committee to be either an independent commissioner or external independent member. Such external independent member(s) is/are, in effect, independent not only of management but also of the Board of Commissioners, the Board of Directors and our Company as a whole. We therefore believe that the standard established by the OJK Audit Committee Regulation is at least equally effective in ensuring the ability of an audit committee to act independently.

ITEM 16G.         CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a summary of significant differences between the corporate governance practices followed by Indonesian companies and those required by NYSE listing standards for domestic United States issuers.

176


Table of Contents

A.                         OVERVIEW OF INDONESIAN LAW

Indonesian public companies are required to observe and comply with certain good corporate governance practices. The requirements and the standards for good corporate governance practices for public companies are embodied in the following regulations: the Indonesian Company Law; the Indonesian Capital Market Law; the Indonesian Law on SOEs; Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No.PER-09/MBU/2012 on Amendment of Regulation of the Minister of State-Owned Enterprises No.PER-01/MBU/2011 on the Implementation of Good Corporate Governance to State-Owned Enterprises; OJK regulations; and IDX rules. In addition to the above, the articles of association of public companies incorporate provisions directing the implementation of good corporate governance practices.

Similar to the laws of the United States, Indonesian laws require public companies to observe and comply with corporate governance standards that are more stringent than those applied to privately-owned companies. In Indonesia, the term "public company" does not necessarily refer to a company whose shares are listed on a securities exchange. Under the Indonesian Capital Markets Law, a non-listed company may be deemed a public company, and subjected to the laws and regulations governing public companies, if such company meets or exceeds the capital and number of shareholder requirements applicable to a public company.

On November 30, 2004, the National Committee on Governance Policy (Komite Nasional Kebijakan Governance, "KNKG") was established pursuant to the Decree of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs No.KEP.49/M.EKONOM/1/2004 ("KEP.49"), which was formed to revitalize the former National Committee on Good Corporate Governance established in 1999. The KNKG aims to enhance the comprehension and implementation of good governance in Indonesia and advises the Government on governance issues, both in public and corporate sectors. KEP.49 was lastly amended and revoked by the Decree of the Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs No. 117 of 2016.

141

2021 on KNKG issued on 2021, the KNKG will have, among other things, a new organizational structure and new duties (such as monitoring and evaluating the implementation of good governance relating to the new licensing policy introduced by the Job Creation Law).

The KNKG formulated the Code for Good Corporate Governance 2006 (the "GCG Code") which recommended setting more stringent corporate governance standards for Indonesian companies, such as the appointment of independent commissioners and nomination and remuneration committees by the board of commissioners, as well as increasing the scope of disclosure obligations for Indonesian companies. Although the KNKG recommended that the GCG Code be adopted by the Government as a basis for legal reform, as of the date of this Annual Report,annual report on Form 20-F, the Government has not enacted regulations that fully implement the provisions of the GCG Code.

In 2014, the OJK issued the Indonesia Corporate Governance Roadmap, which provides for recommendations for Indonesian issuers and public companies to implement certain corporate governance standards, such as procedures with respect to conduct of EGMS and nominations of directors and commissioners.

B.                         COMPOSITION OF INDEPENDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS

The NYSE listing standards provide that the board of directors of a United States listed company must consist of a majority of independent directors and that certain committees must consist solely of independent directors. A director qualifies as independent only if the board affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the company, either directly or indirectly.

Unlike companies incorporated in the United States, the management of an Indonesian company consists of two organs of equal stature, the board of directors and the board of commissioners. Generally, the board of directors is responsible for the day-to-day business activities of the company and is authorized to act for and on behalf of the company, while the board of commissioners has the authority and responsibility to supervise the board of directors and is statutorily mandated to provide advice to the board of directors by the Indonesian Company Law.

177


Table of Contents

The Indonesian Company Law requires the board of commissioners of a public company to have at least two members. Although the Indonesian Company Law is silent as to the composition of the board of commissioners, OJK Rule No.33/2014 states that at least 30% of the members of the board of commissioners of a public company (such as our Company) must be independent.

The Indonesian Company Law provides that the board of directors of a publicly listed company has the authority to manage the daily operations of the company and must have at least two members, each of whom must meet the minimum qualification requirements set forth in the Indonesian Company Law and the capital market laws.

Given the difference between the role of the members of the board of directors in an Indonesian company and that of their counterparts in a United States company, Indonesian law does not require that certain members of the board of directors must be independent and neither does it require the creation of certain committees composed entirely of independent directors.

See Item 16D "Exemptions"Item 16D. Exemptions from the Listing Standards for Audit Committees."

142

D.                         DISCLOSURE REGARDING CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The NYSE listing standards require United States companies to adopt, and post on their websites, a set of corporate governance guidelines. The guidelines must address, among other things: director qualification standards, director responsibilities, director access to management and independent advisors, director compensation, director orientation and continuing education, management succession, and an annual performance evaluation itself. In addition, the CEO of a United States company must certify to the NYSE annually that he or she is not aware of any violations by the company of the NYSE’sNYSE's corporate governance listing standards. The certification must be disclosed in our Annual Reportannual report to shareholders. Indonesian law does not have disclosure requirements similar to NYSE listing standards. However, the Indonesian Capital Markets Law generally requires Indonesian public companies to disclose certain types of information to shareholders, and to the OJK particularlyand the IDX, e.g: information relating to changes in the public company’scompany's shareholdings and material information or facts that may affect the decision of shareholders to maintain their share ownership in suchthe public company or investment decision of potential third party investors.

E.                         CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

The NYSE listing standards require each United States listed company to adopt, and post on its website, a code of business conduct and ethics for its directors, officers and employees. There is no similar requirement under Indonesian law. However, companies that are required to file or furnish reports to the SEC must disclose in their Annual Reportsannual reports whether they have adopted a code of ethics for their senior financial officers. Although the requirements as to the contents of the code of ethics under SEC rules are not identical to those set forth in the NYSE listing standards, there are significant similarities in which under SEC rules, the code of ethics must be designed to promote: (a) honest and ethical conduct, including the handling of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships; (b) full, fair, accurate and timely disclosure in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC; (c) compliance with applicable laws and regulations; (d) prompt internal reporting of violations of the code and (e) accountability for adherence to the code. Furthermore, shareholders must be given access to physical or electronic copies of the code.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Perusahaan Perseroan (Persero) PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of December 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, the related consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018,2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).  In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 20182020 and 2017,2019, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018,2020, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Group’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018,2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated May 21, 2019April 30, 2021 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report No. 00016/00013/2.1032/NS.0/06/0691-2/1007-2/1/V/2019IV/2021 (continued)

Basis for Opinion (continued)

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee of the Company and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements, and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.  The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of property and equipment estimated useful lives

As of December 31, 2020, the balance of consolidated property and equipment of the Group was Rp159,123 billion. As discussed in Notes 2aa and 13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group reviews the estimated useful lives of its property and equipment at least annually and such estimates are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to changes in expectation of physical wear and tear, technical, or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limitations on the continuing use of the property and equipment.

Auditing the Group's estimated useful lives of property and equipment is complex and requires significant judgment because the determination of the estimated useful lives considers a number of factors, including strategic business plans, expected future technological developments, and market behavior.

Critical Audit Matter (continued)

Evaluation of property and equipment estimated useful lives (continued)

We obtained an understanding, and evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness, of internal controls over the Group’s process of estimating the useful lives of its property and equipment. For example, we tested management’s review control on checking the completeness and accuracy of the historical assets classification data and assessing the appropriateness of the judgments regarding the most relevant data to be considered in determining useful lives.

To test whether the estimated useful lives of property and equipment used by management was reasonable, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of management’s strategy related to assets replacement and assessed the reasonableness of such assumptions by considering external sources, such as telecommunication technology growth, changes in market demand, and current economic and regulatory trends.  We assessed whether there were any potential sources of contrary information by performing benchmarking analysis on the estimated useful lives of property and equipment against other public companies within the telecommunication industry.  We also performed observation of property and equipment and assessed the average usage period of disposed assets to evaluate whether the assets were being used in accordance with the applicable accounting policy.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

b.   Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consist of the financial statements of the Company and the subsidiaries over which it has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has the power over the investee, exposure or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

Generally, there is a presumption that a majority of voting rights results in control. To support this presumption and when the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

i.

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee,

ii.

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements, and

iii.

The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains financial control until the date the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

In case of loss of control over a subsidiary, the Group:

·

derecognises the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at the carrying amounts on the date when it loses control;

·

derecognises the carrying amounts of any non-controlling interests of its former subsidiary on the date when it loses control;

·

recognises the fair value of the consideration received (if any) from the transaction, events, or condition that caused the loss of control;

·

recognises the fair value of any investment retained in the subsidiary at fair value on the date of loss of control; and

recognized the fair value of any investment retained in the subsidiary at fair value on the date of loss of control;

recognized any surplus or deficit in profit or loss that is attributable to the Group.

c.   Transactions with related parties

The Group has transactions with related parties. The definition of related parties used is in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 24, Related Party Disclosures. The party which is considered a related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial statements.

Key management personnel are identified as the persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director (whether executive or otherwise) of the Group. The related party status extends to the key management of the subsidiaries to the extent they direct the operations of subsidiaries with minimal involvement from the Company’s management.

d.   Business combinations and goodwill

Business combination is accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred is measured at fair value, which is the aggregate of the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and the equity instruments issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. For each business combination, non-controlling interest is measured at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement basis is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. The acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities are recognisedrecognized at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognisedrecognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed, and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognisedrecognized at the acquisition date. If the re-assessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognisedrecognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent

Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured tonot within the scope of IFRS 9 is measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss when adjustments are recorded outside the measurement period. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement-period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments made against goodwill. Measurement-period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the measurement period, which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date, about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date.loss.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the Group shall report in its consolidated financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. During the measurement period, the Group shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognisedrecognized at the acquisition date to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognisedrecognized as of that date. The measurement period ends immediately after the Company receives the information about the facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date or learns that additional information cannot be obtained. However, the measurement period must not exceed one year from the date of acquisition.

In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer remeasures its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at its acquisition-date fair value and recognisesrecognizes the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss.

Business combination between businesses or entities under common control does not result in a change of the economic substance of the ownership of assets, liabilities, shares or other instruments of ownership, which are exchanged, assets or liabilities transferred are recorded at book value using the pooling-of-interests method. The excess of consideration paid or received over the carrying value of interest acquired or sold, net of income tax, is directly recognized to retained earnings.

f.    Investments in associated companiesassociates

An associate is an entity over which the Group (as investor) has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but does not include control or joint control over those operating policies. The considerations made in determining significant influence are similar to those necessary to determine control over subsidiaries. Holding of 20% or more of the voting power of the investee (held directly or indirectly, through subsidiaries) is presumed to give rise to significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. Conversely, a holding of less than 20% of the voting power is presumed not to give

rise to significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that there is in fact significant influence.

The existence of significant influence will usually be evidenced in one or more of the following ways:

i.

representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;

ii.

participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends and other distributions;

iii.

material transactions between the investor and the investee;

iv.

interchange of managerial personnel; or

v.

provision of essential technical information.

The Group’s investments in its associates are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognisedrecognized at cost. The carrying amount of the investment is adjusted to recogniserecognize changes in the investor’s share of the net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. On acquisition of the investment, any difference between the cost of the investment and the entity’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as follows:

a.i.    Goodwill relating to an associate or a joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is neither amortized nor individually tested for impairment; andimpairment.

b.ii.    Any excess of the entity’s share of the net fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of the investment is included as income in the determination of the entity’s share of the associate or joint venture’s profit or loss in the period in which the investment is acquired.

Unrealized gain and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investments in associated companiesassociates are impaired. If there is, the Group calculates and recognisesrecognizes the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the investments in the associated companiesassociates and their carrying value.

These assets are included in “Long-term Investments”Investments in Associates” in the consolidated statements of financial position.

For the reporting purpose of investment in associates using the equity method, the assets and liabilities as of the statement of financial position date with functional currency other than Rupiah  are translated into Indonesian Rupiah using the rate of exchange prevailing at that date, while revenues and expenses are translated into Indonesian rupiah at the average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported as part of “translation adjustment” in the equity section of the consolidated statements of financial position.

Inventories also include Subscriber Identification Module (“SIM”) cards, handsets, wireless broadband modems, and blank prepaid vouchers, whichvouchers.

Inventories are expensed upon sale.valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is determined by either estimating the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated cost to sell or determining the prevailing replacement costs.

The costs of inventories consist of the purchase price, import duties, other taxes, transport, handling, and other costs directly attributable to their acquisition. Inventories are recognised at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimate of selling price less the costs to sell.

Cost is determined using the weighted average method.

The amounts of any write-down of inventories below cost to net realizable value and all losses of inventories are recognisedrecognized as an expense in the period in which the write-down or loss occurs. The amount of any reversal of any write-down of inventories, arising from an increase in net realizable value, is recognisedrecognized as a reduction in the amount of general and administrative expenses in the year in which the reversal occurs.

Provision for obsolescence is primarily based on the estimated forecast of future usage of these inventory items.

i.    Prepaid expenses

Prepaid expenses are amortized over their future beneficial periods using the straight-line method.

j.    Assets held for sale

Assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

Assets that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale are reclassified from property and equipment and depreciation on such assets is ceased.

k.    Intangible assets

Intangible assets mainly consist of software. Intangible assets are recognisedrecognized if it is highly probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to each asset will flow to the Group, and the cost of the asset can be reliably measured.

Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Group estimates the recoverable value of its intangible assets. When the carrying amount of an intangible asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its estimated recoverable amount.

amount that the Group would currently obtain from disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset is already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.

until the property is ready for its intended use or sale, borrowing costs, which include interest expense and foreign currency exchange differences incurred on loans obtained to finance the construction of the asset, as long as it meets the definition of a qualifying asset are, capitalized in proportion to the average amount of accumulated expenditures during the period. Capitalization of borrowing cost ceases when the construction is completed and the asset is ready for its intended use or sale.

m.l.    Leases

InPrior to January 1, 2019

Based on IAS 17, in determining whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, the Group performs an evaluation over the substance of the arrangement. A lease is classified as a finance lease or operating lease based on the substance, not the form of the contract. Finance lease is recognisedrecognized if the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the leased asset.

Assets and liabilities under a finance lease are recognisedrecognized in the consolidated statements of financial position at amounts equal to the fair value of the leased assets or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any initial direct costs of the Group are added to the amount recognisedrecognized as assets.

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Contingent rents are charged as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.

Leased assets are depreciated using the same method and based on the useful lives as estimated for directly acquired property and equipment. However, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease terms, the leased assets are fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease terms and their economic useful lives.

Lease arrangements that do not meet the above criteria are accounted for as operating leases for which payments are charged as an expense on the straight-line basis over the lease period.

n.Effective January 1, 2019

IFRS 16 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease agreements and its treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. IFRS 16 introduces a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

The Group adopted IFRS 16 as at January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method by recognizing the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 16 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2019. Accordingly, the comparative information presented for 2018 has not been restated and it is presented, as previously reported, under IAS 17 and the related interpretations.

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term corresponds to the non-cancellable period of each contract, except in cases where the Group is reasonably certain of exercising renewal options contractually foreseen.

The Group has made use of the package of practical expedients available under the transition guidance within IFRS 16, which among other things:

the use of a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics;
the accounting for operating leases with a remaining lease term of less than 12 months as at January 1, 2019 as short-term leases;
the exclusion of initial direct costs for the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application;
the use of hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contains options to extend or terminate the lease;
apply IFRS 16 to leases that were previously identified under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4, and not to apply IFRS 16 to those that were not previously identified under these two standards;
not to separate non-lease components from lease components, and instead, account for both as a single lease component; and
not to recognize a lease liability and a Right-of-Use (“ROU”) asset for leases where the underlying assets are low-value assets (i.e. underlying assets with a maximum value of US$5,000 or Rp50 million when new).

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

IFRS 16 also permits the Group not to reassess the Group prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and the Group has elected to carry forward the historical lease assessments and relied on its assessment made applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 determining whether an arrangement contains a lease. The Group applies the definition of a lease and related guidance set out in IFRS 16 to all lease contracts entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2019.

i.

The Group as Lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and ROU assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

The Group recognizes ROU assets at the commencement date of the lease. ROU assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated amortization and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, restoration costs and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

ROU assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Years

Land rights

50

Buildings

15-40

Transmission installation and equipment

3-25

Power supply

3-20

Vehicles

4-8

Others

2-25

If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The ROU assets are subject to impairment in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect

the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases with a duration of less than 12 months, short-term lease ends within 12 months after January 1, 2019 and low-value leases, as well as those lease elements, partially or totally not complying with the principles of recognition defined by IFRS 16 will be treated similarly to operating leases. The Group will recognize those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

ii.

The Group as Lessor

Under IFRS 16, a lessor continues to classify leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. Leases in which the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as finance leases, otherwise it will be classified as an operating leases. Lease classification is made at the inception date and is reassessed only if there is a lease modification.

At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease and present it as finance lease receivable. The net investment in the lease include fixed payments (including in substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and residual value guarantees provided to the lessor by the lessee. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the lessee and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate.

As required by IFRS 9, an allowance for expected credit loss has been recognized on the finance lease receivables and presented under "Other receivables".

Rental income arising from operating leases is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers to allocate the consideration in the contract. Revenue arising from operating lease is recorded as Revenue from Lessor Transactions (Note 2p).

m.  Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and/or services that have been acquired from suppliers in the ordinary course of business. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables are recognisedrecognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognisedrecognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

The standard provides a single, principles-based five-step model for the determination and recognition of revenue to be applied to all contracts with customers. The standard also provides specific guidance requiring certain types of costs to obtain and/or fulfil a contract to be capitalized and amortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the capitalized cost relates.

The Group adopted IFRS 15 as at January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method by recognising the cumulative effect of initially applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity at January 1, 2018.

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

The Group has also elected to apply the following practical expedients on the transition date:

·

Completed contracts - the Group applied IFRS 15 only to customer contracts that had not been completed on January 1, 2018; and

·

Contract modifications - instead of applying a retrospective approach to quantify the cumulative effects of contract modifications from the time each modification was made; the Group aggregated the effects of all contract modifications that occured before January 1, 2018 in order to:

(i)identify satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations;

(ii)determine the transaction price of the latest modified contract; and

(iii)allocate the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations as of January 1, 2018.

Moreover, the Group also elected to apply practical expedient to not account for the effect of financing component when the period between the payment for a promised good or service and the transfer for such good or service to the customer is less than one year, in adopting IFRS 15.

Below is the summary of the Group’s revenue recognition accounting policy for each revenue stream:

i.     Mobile

Revenue from mobile primarily comprises of revenue from cellular service which among others: telephone service, interconnection service, internet and data service and Short Messaging Servicesshort messaging services (“SMS”) service. Those services are offered on postpaid or prepaid basis, which for prepaid, the sales of starter packs (also known as SIM cards and start-up load vouchers) and pulse reload vouchers are recognisedrecognized initially as contract liabilities. The Group recognise contract assets for provision of service from postpaid customers not yet billed.

All mobile services revenues are recognisedrecognized based on output method, either per actual usage or allowance unit used (if services sold in plan basis), because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group.

For services sold in bundled plan, total consideration is allocated to performance obligations based on stand-alone selling price for each of product and/or service. The Group estimatedestimates the stand-alone selling price using the price enacted if the services are sold on a stand-alone basis. Most bundled plans sold by the Group only include services which are generally satisfied over the same period of time. Therefore the revenue recognition pattern is generally not impacted by the allocation.

As part of its marketing programme, the Group had a customer loyalty programme named “Telkomsel Poin”, which allows customers to accumulate points for every certain multiple of the telecommunication service usage. The points can be redeemed in the future for free or discounted products or services, provided that other qualifying conditions are achieved.

The consideration that is received is allocated between the telecommunication services and the points issued, with the consideration allocated to points that are equal to its fair value. The fair value of the points is determined according to historical information relating to the redemption rate of award points. The fair value of the points that are issued is deferred and recognisedrecognized as revenue when the points are redeemed or have expired.

ii.    Consumer

Revenue from Consumer primarily comprises of revenue from fixed telephone and Indihome services. Revenues from fixed telephone service are derived from customer who subscribes to fixed telephone service only, while revenues from Indihome service are derived from customer who subscribes to internet services or to more than one retail product. Those services are offered on a postpaid basis and billed in the following month. The contracts are offered as month to month contract.

Customers may be required to pay an upfront fee at the commencement of the contract. The upfront fee is considered to be a material right because the customer is not required to pay an upfront fee when the customer renews the service beyond the original contract period. The Group values the renewal option in the amount of the consideration received from the upfront fee for the installation service. The Group defers the amount of renewal option and recognisesrecognizes it as revenue on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the customer relationships. The Group estimates the expected customer life based on the historical information and customer trends and updates the evaluation on an annual basis.

iii.   Enterprise

Revenue from Enterprise primarily comprises of revenue from providing telephone service, data and internet service, information technologies service, and other services (e.g. sales of peripherals, manage service, call center service, e-health, e-payment, and others.)others). Some of the contracts with enterprise customers are bespoke in nature.

Revenues from enterprise are recognisedrecognized overtime using output method based on actual usage or time elapsed if the provision of service does not depend on usage (i.e. minute of voice, kilobyte of data, etc.), except for sales of goods which are recognised asrecognized at a point in time, because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group. Revenues for performance obligations that are satisfied at a point in time is recognisedrecognized when control of goods is transferred to the customer, typically when the customer has physical possession of the goods.

Some of the arrangements in enterprise are offered as bundled arrangements. For bundled arrangements, the product and/or service in the contract is accounted for as an individual performance obligation when it is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract and the customer can benefit from the product/service on its own. The total consideration is allocated to each distinct performance obligation that has been included in the contract, based on its stand-alone selling price. The stand-alone selling price is determined according to the observable prices at which individual product and/or service are sold separately, adjusted for market conditions and normal discounts as appropriate. Alternatively, when the observable prices are not available, the expected cost plus margin approach is used to determine the stand-alone selling prices.

Certain contracts with enterprise customers may give rise to variable consideration as the contract price depends on a future event (e.g. usage based contract or revenue-share based contract). In

Before including any amount of variable consideration in the transaction price, the Group considers whether the amount of variable consideration is constrained. The Group determines that the estimates of variable consideration areis not constrained based on its historical experience, business forecast and the current economic conditions and only includes variable consideration to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cummulativecumulative revenue recognisedrecognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

When another party is involved in providing products and/or services to a customer, the Group is the principal if it controls the specified products and/or services before those products and/or services are transferred to the customer. Revenues are recorded on the net amount that has been retained (the amount paid by the customer less the amount paid to the suppliers), when, in substance, the Group has acted as agent and earned commission from the suppliers of the products and/or services sold.

iv.   WIBSWholesale and International Business (“WIB”)

Revenue from WIBSWIB is mainly comprised of interconnections service for interconnection of other telecommunications carriers’ subscriber calls to the Group’s subscribers (incoming) and calls between other telecommunications carriers subscribers through the Group’s network (transit) and network service with other telecommunications carriers. All of these services are recognisedrecognized based on the output method using the basis ofbased on the actual recorded traffic for the month.month.

Some of the arrangements with WIBS customers contain a  significant financing component as the time between the recognition of revenue and cash receipt is expected to exceed one year. The Group is expected to have a significant financing component in contracts involving the provision indefeasible rights of use which have been paid up-front by the customers.

Incremental cost of obtaining/fulfilling contract with customers

The incremental costs of obtaining/fulfiling contracts with customers, which is principally is comprised of sales commissions and contract fulfilment costs, are initially recognisedrecognized on the statement of financial position. These costs are subsequently amortisedamortized on a systematic basis that is consistent with the period and pattern of transfer to the customer of the related products or services. Costs that do not qualify as costs of obtaining/fulfilling contract with customers are expensed as incurred or in accordance with other relevant standards.  

Revenue from other sourceslessor transactions

Revenue from other source’slessor transactions comprise of revenue from telecommunication tower operating leases and other rental. Rental income is recognisedrecognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in revenue in the statement of profit or loss due to its operating nature. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income. Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.

ii.    Post-employment benefit plans and other long-term employee benefits

Post-employment benefit plans consist of funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution pension plan, other post-employment benefits, post-employment health care benefit plan, defined contribution health care benefit plan and obligations under the Labor Law.

Other long-term employee benefits consist of Long Service Awards (“LSA”), Long Service Leave (“LSL”), and pre-retirement benefits.

The cost of providing benefits under post-employment benefit plans and other long-term employee benefits calculation is performed by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method.

The net obligations in respect of the defined pension benefit plans and post-retirement health care benefit plan are calculated at the present value of estimated future benefits that the employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods less the fair value of plan assets. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of Government bonds that are denominated in the currencies in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement benefit obligation. Government bonds are used as there are no deep markets for high quality corporate bonds.

Plan assets are assets owned by defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement health care benefits plan as well as qualifying insurance policy. The assets are measured at fair value as of reporting dates. The fair value of qualifying insurance policy is deemed to be the present value of the related obligations (subject to any reduction required if the amounts receivable under the insurance policies are not recoverable in full).

Remeasurement, comprising of actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) and the return on plan assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset)) are recognisedrecognized immediately in the consolidated statements of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to retained earnings through OCI in the period in which they occur. Remeasurements are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Past service costs are recognisedrecognized immediately in profit or loss on the earlier of:

(a)

·

Thethe date of plan amendment or curtailment; and

(b)

·

Thethe date that the Group recognisedrecognized restructuring-related costs.

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liabilities or assets.

Gains or losses on curtailment are recognisedrecognized when there is a commitment to make a material reduction in the number of employees covered by a plan or when there is an amendment of defined benefit plan terms such as that a material element of future services to be provided by current employees will no longer qualify for benefits, or will qualify only for reduced benefits.

Gains or losses on settlement are recognisedrecognized when there is a transaction that eliminates all further legal or constructive obligation for part or all of the benefits provided under a defined benefit plan (other

A commitment to a termination arises when, and only when a detailed formal plan for the early retirement cannot be withdrawn.

s.   r.    Taxes

Income tax

Current and deferred income taxes are recognisedrecognized as income or expense and included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, except to the extent that the income tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognisedrecognized directly in equity, in which case, the income tax is recognisedrecognized directly in equity.

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amountamounts expected to be recovered or paid by using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at each reporting date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returnsAnnual Tax Returns ("Surat Pemberitahuan Tahunan"/ "SPT Tahunan") with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. Where appropriate, management establishes provisions based on the amounts expected to be paid to the Tax Authorities.

Tax assessments

Amendment to taxation obligation is recorded when an assessment letter ("Surat Ketetapan Pajak" or "SKP") is received or, if appealed against, when the results of the appeal have been determined. The additional taxes and penalty imposed through SKP are recognized as revenue or expense in the current year profit or loss, unless objection/appeal is taken. The additional taxes and penalty imposed through SKP are deferred as long as they meet the asset recognition criteria.

Deferred tax

Uncertainty over income tax treatments

In accordance with IFRIC 23: Uncertainty Over Income Tax Treatments which is effective on January 1, 2019, stated that the recognition and measurement of tax assets and liabilities that contain uncertainty over income tax are determined. The additional taxes and penalty imposed through SKP are recogniseddetermined by considering whether to be treated separately or together, the assumptions used in the current year profitexamination of tax treatments by the Tax Authorities, consideration the probability that the Tax Authorities will accept uncertain tax treatment and re-consideration or loss, unlessestimation if there is a change in facts and circumstances.

If the acceptance of the tax treatment by the Tax Authorities is probable, the measurement is in line with income tax fillings. If the acceptance of the tax treatment by the Tax Authorities is not probable, the Group meaures its tax balances using the method that provides the better predict of resolution (i.e. most likely amount or expected value).

Accordingly, management believes that the interpretation did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

t.    s.   Financial instruments

The Group classifies financial instruments into financial assets and financial liabilities. A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

i.     Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortisedamortized cost, fair value through OCI (“FVTOCI”), and fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group’s business model for managing them. With the exception of trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient, the Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at FVTPL, transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Group has applied the practical expedient are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortisedamortized cost or FVTOCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the solely payments of principal and interest test and is performed at an instrument level.

The Group’s business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both.

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the market place (regular way trades) are recognisedrecognized on the trade date, i.e., the date that the Group commits to sell the asset.

Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

Financial assets at amortisedamortized cost (debt instruments)

This category is the most relevant to the Group. The Group measures financial assets at amortisedamortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:

·

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

·

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortisedamortized cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (“EIR”) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognisedrecognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised,derecognized, modified or impaired. The Group’s financial assets at amortisedamortized cost consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, contract assets, other current financial assets, trade and other receivables, and other non-current assets (long-term trade receivables and restricted cash).assets.

b.

(b)

Financial assets at FVTOCI with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

The Group measures debt instruments at FVTOCI if both of the following conditions are met:

·

The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective of both holding to collect contractual cash flows and selling; and

·

The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

For debt instruments at FVTOCI, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognisedrecognized in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortisedamortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognisedrecognized in OCI. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognisedrecognized in OCI is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group’sGroup has no debt instruments classified at FVTOCI primarily consistwith recycling of other current financial assets.cumulative gains and losses as of December 31, 2019 and 2020.

Financial assets designated at FVTOCI with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)

Upon initial recognition, the Group can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at FVTOCI when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Gains and losses on these financial assets are never recycled to profit or loss. Dividends are recognisedrecognized as other income in the statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been established, except when the Group benefits from such proceeds as a recovery of part of the cost of the financial asset, in which case, such gains are recorded in OCI. Equity instruments designated at FVTOCI are not subject to impairment assessment.

fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term. Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at FVTPL, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortisedamortized cost or at FVTOCI, as described above, debt instruments may be designated at FVTPL on initial recognition if doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting mismatch.

Financial assets at FVTPL are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognisedrecognized in the statement of profit or loss. Financial assets that held for trading are disclosed as part of notes current financial asset, while the others are disclosed as part of notes long-term investment in financial instruments.

Expected credit losses (“ECL”)

The Group recognisesrecognizes an allowance for ECL for all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. ECL are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral to the contractual terms.

ECL are recognisedrecognized in two stages. For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECL are provided for credit losses that result from default events that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of the default (a lifetime ECL).

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECL. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognisesrecognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECL at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

For debt instruments at FVTOCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the debt instrument is considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that evaluation, the Group reassesses the external credit rating of the debt instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

The Group’s debt instruments at FVTOCI comprise solely of quoted bonds that are graded in the top investment category (Very Good and Good) by the Good Credit Rating Agency and, therefore, are considered to be low credit risk investments. It is the Group’s policy to measure ECL on such instruments on a 12-month basis. However, when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since origination, the allowance will be based on the lifetime ECL. The Group uses the ratings from the Good Credit Rating Agency both to determine whether the debt instrument has significantly increased in credit risk and to estimate ECL.

The Group considers a financial asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider a financial asset to be in default when internal or external information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive the outstanding

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:

a.

(a)

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. No financial liabilities were categorized at FVTPL as of December 31, 2017 and 2018.

Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognisedrecognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated any financial liability as at FVTPL.

b.

(b)

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and other borrowings are subsequently measured at amortisedamortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognisedrecognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognisedderecognized as well as through the EIR amortisationamortization process. AmortisedAmortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortisationamortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and other borrowings. For more information, refer to Note 1921 Long-Term Loans and Other Borrowings.

iii.   Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statements of financial position when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognisedrecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle them on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. The right of set-offoffset must not be contingent on a future event and must be legally enforceable in all of the following circumstances:

(i)

(a)

the normal course of business;

(ii)

(b)

the event of default; and

(iii)

(c)

the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Group and all of the counterparties.

iv.   Derecognition of financial instruments

The Group derecognisesderecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

The Group derecognisesderecognizes a financial liability when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or has expired.

v.    Hedge Accounting

The groupGroup does not apply hedge accounting.

u.t.    Treasury stock

Reacquired Company shares of stock are accounted for at their reacquisition cost and classified as “Treasury Stock” and presented as a deduction in equity. The cost of treasury stock sold/transferred is accounted for using the weighted average method. The portion of treasury stock transferred for employee stock ownership program is accounted for at its fair value at grant date. The difference between the cost and the proceeds from the sale/transfer of treasury stock is credited to “Additional Paid-in Capital”.

v.u.   Dividends

Dividend for distribution to the stockholders is recognisedrecognized as a liability in the consolidated financial statements in the year in which the dividend is approved by the stockholders. The interim dividend is recognisedrecognized as a liability based on the Board of Directors’ decision supported by the approval from the Board of Commissioners.

w.v.   Basic and diluted earnings per share and earnings per ADS

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent company by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. Income per ADS is computed by multiplying the basic earnings per share by 100, the number of shares represented by each ADS.

The Company does not have potentially dilutive financial instruments.

x.w.   Segment information

The Group’s segment information is presented based upon identified operating segments. An operating segment is a component of an entity: a) that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the same entity); b) whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") i.e., the Directors, to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and c) for which discrete financial information is available.

y.x.   Provisions

Provisions are recognisedrecognized when the Group has present obligations (legal or constructive) arising from past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations and the amount can be measured reliably.

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognisedrecognized when the contract becomes onerous for the lower of the cost of fulfilling the contract and any compensation or penalties arising from failure to fulfill the contract.

z.y.   Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the Cash-Generating Unit (“CGU”) to which the asset belongs (“the asset’s CGU”).

The recoverable amount of an asset (either individual asset or CGU) is the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use (“VIU”). Where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing the value in use, the estimated net future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, the Group uses an appropriate valuation model to determine the fair value of the asset. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or other available fair value indicators.

Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognisedrecognized in profit or loss as part of “Depreciation and Amortization” in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that previously recognisedrecognized impairment losses for an asset, other than goodwill, may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously recognisedrecognized impairment loss for an asset, other than goodwill, is reversed only if there has been a change in the

aa. Changes in accounting policyz.   Current and disclosuresnon-current classifications

The Group has applied IFRS 9 modified retrospective approachpresents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non- current classification. An asset is presented current when it is:

i.

expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

ii.

held primarily for the purpose of trading;

iii.

expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

iv.

cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Asset which do not meet above criteria, classified as non-current assets.

A liability is current when:

i.     it is expected to be settled in the required effective date, January 1, 2018. The 2018 opening balances have been adjusted, butnormal operating cycle;

ii.    it is held primarily in the previous periods have not been restated. Someproposed of trading;

iii.   it is due to be settled within twelve months after reporting period;

iv.   there is no unconditional right after deferred the settlement of the key changesliability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

The terms of liability that impactedcould, at the Group includeoption of counterparty, result in its settlement by the following:issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

a.Classification and measurement

Under IFRS 9, the Group classifies its financial assets as at amortized cost, at FVTPL, and at FVTOCI. Previously under IAS 39, itsLiabilities which do not meet above criteria, classified as loanlong term liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and receivablesliabilities are classified as non-current assets and available for sale. The classification is based on two criteria: the Group’s business model for managing the assets;liabilities.

aa. Critical accounting considerations, estimates and whether the instruments’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.assumptions

The assessmentpreparation of the Group’s business model was made asGroup's consolidated financial statements requires management to make decisions, estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities reported, and the accompanying disclosures, and disclosures of contingent liabilities, at the end of the datereporting period.

Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates can produce results that require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of initial application, January 1, 2018,assets and then applied retrospectively to those financial assets that were not derecognised before January 1, 2018. The assessment of whether contractual cash flows on debt instruments are solely payments of principal and interest was made based onliabilities affected in the facts and circumstances as at the initial recognition of the assets.

The classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 have an impact on some of the Group’s available for sale financial assets as they have to be measured at FVTPL as the instruments’ contractual cash flow does not represent solely payments of principal and interest. The Group continued measuring at amortised cost for all financial assets previously classified as loans and receivables under IAS 39.

The table below illustrates the classification and measurement of financial assets under IFRS 9 and IAS 39 at the date of initial application, January 1, 2018:

The table belowfollowing considerations were made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies that have the most significant influence on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Income taxes

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations, changes in tax laws, and the amount and timing of future taxable income could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.

Judgment is reconciliationalso involved in determining the provision for corporate income tax. There are certain transactions and computation for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of the ending impairment allowance under IAS 39 and IFRS 9 at the date of initial application, January 1, 2018:

business.

The Group has adopted IFRS 15recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach,amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will impact the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities in the year in which meanssuch determination is made. Details of the Group elected not to restate comparative figures but any adjustments to thenature and carrying amounts at transition date were recognisedof income tax are disclosed in the opening balance of retained earnings, other reservesNote 29.

ii.    Estimates and non-controlling interest. Some of the key changes that impacted the Group include the following:

·

Based on the new requirements under IFRS 15, contract assets and contract liabilities have been added as new lines in the consolidated statements of financial position. Previously, contract assets were reported as trade receivables and contract liabilities were reported as unearned income.

·

Contract costs that consist of costs to obtain and fulfill the contract have been added as new line in the consolidated statement of financial position. Previously, these contract costs were expensed as incurred or amortised with systematic basis that is inconsistent with the recognition of related revenue.

·

Revenues from contracts with customers which measured under IFRS 15 are separately presented from revenues from other sources.

In the transition date of the standard, the application of variable consideration and timing of revenue recognition principle results in the Group recognising an increase in retained earnings as the amount of revenue recognised for the completed performance obligation under IFRS 15 is greater than the revenue recognised under the previous revenue standard. In return, the Group recognises contract assets as the Group’s right to consideration in exchange for the completed performance obligation. The contract assets are subsequently reclassified as trade receivables when the consideration becomes unconditional.

The Group also recognises capitalisation of incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling the contracts with customers. In contrast to the previous standards that required the Group to expense these costs as incurred, the capitalised contract costs are now amortised on a consistent basis with the transfer to the customer of the goods or services to which the contract costs relate.

ab. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Estimates and assumptionsassumption are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for pensions include the discount rate and return on investment.investment (ROI). Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of the retirement benefit obligations.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each reporting period. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the interest rates of Government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related retirement benefit obligations.

If there is an improvement in the ratings of such Government bonds or a decrease in interest rates as a result of improving economic conditions, there could be a material impact on the discount rate used in determining the post-employment benefit obligations.

Other key assumptions for retirement benefit obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Notes 3130 and 32.31.

ii.(b)  Useful lives of property and equipment

The Group estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment based on expected asset utilization, considering strategic business plans, expected future technological developments, and market behavior. The estimates of useful lives of property and equipment are based on the Group’s collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation, and experience with similar assets.

The Group reviews its estimates of useful lives at least each financial year-end and such estimates are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to changes in expectation of physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence, and legal or other limitations on the continuing use of the assets. The amounts of recorded expenses for any year will be affected by changes in these factors and circumstances. A change in the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment is a change in accounting estimates and is applied prospectively in profit or loss in the period of the change and future periods. In 2020, the Group change its estimated useful lives of towers in Indonesia (Note 13).

established a credit provision methodology that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors, and the economic environment.

For timeterm deposits and debt instruments at FVTOCI,fair value through OCI, the Group applies the low credit risk simplification. At every reporting date, the Group evaluates whether the time deposits or debt instrument are considered to have low credit risk using all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort. In making that evaluation, the Group reassesses the externalinternal credit rating of the instrument. In addition, the Group considers that there has been a significant increase in credit risk when contractual payments are more than 30 days past due.

iv.The Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that other receivables or other financial assets have been impaired at the end of each reporting period. Provision for impairment of receivables is calculated based on a review of the current status of existing receivables and historical collection experience. Such provisions are adjusted periodically to reflect the actual and anticipated experience. Details of the nature and carrying amounts of provision for impairment of other receivables are disclosed in Note 6.

Following the effect of Covid-19 pandemic, Group has not remodified the definition of its significant increase in credit risk and the definition of its default. Group also closely monitors the changes in shared risk characteristics of certain account receivables by evaluating the customer segmentations portfolios which the respective customers might engage in business industries, or locate in areas, which have become affected, or are more prone to be affected, by the pandemic. Group has reassessed the model used to calculate ECLs based on the latest reasonable and supportable data to better reflect the current change in circumstances. Methods and approaches will continue to be monitored and updated if additional reasonable and supportable data and information are available; including forward looking information and other input in the future.

In addition to the bespoke service, Group also provide multiple standard product as bundling product in contract with customer. Significant judgment is required in determining the number and nature of distinct performance obligations promised to customers in those contracts. The number and nature of distinct performance obligations will determine the timing of revenue recognition for such contract.

When a contract consisting of several goods and/or service is assessed to have one performance obligations, the Group applies a single method of measuring progress for the performance obligation based on the measurement method that best depicts the economics of the contract, which in most cases is over time.

When a contract consisting of several goods and/or service is assessed to represent a singlehave one performance obligation,obligations, the Group presents that performance obligations in one financial statement line items which best represent the main service of the Group, which in most cases is the internet, data communication and information technology services.

b.

Critical judgements in determining the stand-alone selling price

The Group provides wide array of products related to telecommunication and technology. To determine the stand-alone selling price for goods and/or services that do not have any readily available observable price, the Group uses the expected cost-plus margin approach.

Significant judgment is required in determining the margin for each contract that contains goods and/or services with an unobservable price. The Group currently determines the appropriate margin based  on historical achievementachievement.

(f)   Test for impairment of non-current assets and informationgoodwill

The application of the acquisition method in a business combination requires the use of accounting estimates in allocating the purchase price to the fair market value of the assets and liabilities acquired, including intangible assets. Certain business acquisitions by the Group resulted goodwill, which is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually and every indication of impairment exists.

Although management believes that the assumptions used are appropriate, significant changes to those assumptions can materially affect the evaluation of recoverable amounts and may result in impairment according to IAS 36: Impairment of Assets.

(g)  Acquisition

The Group evaluates each acquisition transaction to determine whether it will be treated as an asset or business combination. For transactions that are treated as an asset acquisition, the purchase price is allocated to the assets obtained, without the recognition of goodwill. For acquisitions that meet the business combination definition, the Group applies the accounting acquisition method for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, and the results of operations are included with the Group's results from the date of each acquisition.

Any excess from the purchase price paid for the amount recognized for assets acquired and liabilities incurred is recorded as goodwill. The Group continues to evaluate acquisitions that are counted as a business combination for a period not exceeding one year after the applicable acquisition date of each transaction to determine whether additional adjustments are needed to allocate the purchase price paid for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities incurred are usually determined using either an independent party.estimated replacement cost or a discounted cash flow valuation method. When determining the fair value of tangible assets acquired, the Group estimates the cost of replacing assets with new assets by considering factors such as the age, condition, and economic useful lives of the assets. When determining the fair value of the intangible assets obtained, the Group estimates the applicable discount rate and the time and amount of future cash flows, including the rates and terms for the extension and reduction.

v.    Income taxes

The Group has made provisionallowance for impairment of receivablesexpected credit losses based on the collective assessment of its customers’ credit history, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors, and the economic environment. The Group does not apply a distinction between related party and third party receivables in assessing amounts past due. As of December 31, 20172019 and 2018,2020, the carrying amounts of trade receivables of the Group considered past due but not impaired amounted to Rp3,354Rp3,890 billion and Rp3,868Rp4,217 billion, respectively. Management believes that receivables past due but not impaired, along with trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired, are due from customers with good credit history and are expected to be recoverable.

Shares which were held by employees through the ESOP had a lock-up period that varied from 0 up to 12 months, depending on the position of the employee.

On June 13, 2014, the Company resold 215,000,000 shares (equivalent to 1,075,000,000 shares after stock split) of treasury stock phase II with fair value amounting to Rp2,541 billion (net of related costs to sell the shares). The excess amounting to Rp576 billion in value of the treasury stock sold over their acquisition cost was recorded as additional paid-in capital (Note 22).

The excess amounting to Rp36 billion in value of the treasury stock sold over their acquisition cost was recorded as additional paid-in capital (Note 22).

The Company diverted shares of repurchase program phase I in 2013, shares of repurchase program phase II in 2014, and shares of repurchase program phase III in 2015.

On June 29, 2016, the Company resold 172,800,000 shares (equivalent to 864,000,000 shares after stock split) of treasury stock phase IV with fair value of Rp3,259 billion (net of related costs to sell the shares).

In accordance with the PMK, the Company is allowed to revalue its fixed assets for tax purposes and will obtain lower income tax when the application of the revaluation is submitted to DGT during the period between the effective date of PMK and December 31, 2016. The final income tax is determined at a rate ranging from 3%‑6% on the excess of the revalued amount of fixed assets over its original net book value depending on the timing of submission of application to the DGT.

On December 29, 2015, the Company filed an application for fixed assets revaluation using self-assessed revaluation amount and has paid the related final income tax amounting to Rp750 billion. Based on the PMK, the self-assessed revaluation amount should be evaluated by a Public Independent Appraiser (“KJPP”) or valuation specialist, which is registered with the Government before December 31, 2016. Upon verification of the completeness and accuracy of the application, the DGT may issue approval letter within 30 days after the receipt of complete application. The Company has appointed a KJPP to perform fixed assets revaluation of the Company.

The Company submitted the fixed asset revaluation documents phase 1 to DGT on September 29, 2016. On November 10, 2016, DGT issued approval regarding fixed assets revaluation amounting to Rp7,078 billion with related final income tax amounting to Rp212 billion.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2018,2020, the aggregate amounts of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associated companies,associates, for which deferred tax liabilities have not been recognisedrecognized were Rp31,783Rp29,118 billion and Rp31,296Rp32,132 billion, respectively.

Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Group’s capability in generating future profitable operations. Although realization is not assured, the Group believes that it is probable that these deferred tax assets will be realized through reduction of future taxable income when temporary differences reverse. The amount of deferred tax assets is considered realizable; however, it can be reduced if actual future taxable income is lower than estimates.

a.    Funded pension plan

i.     Defined pension benefit obligation

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for employees with permanent status prior to July 1, 2002. The plan is governed by the pension laws in Indonesia and managed by Telkom Pension Fund (“Dana Pensiun Telkom”Telkom or “Dapen”). Pension Fund Management in accordance with the Pension Fund and Investment Directives Regulations determined by the Founder is carried out by the Board of Management. The Board of Management is monitored by the Oversight Board consisting of representatives of the Company and participants.

The pension benefits are paid based on the participating employees’ latest basic salary at retirement and the number of years of their service. The participating employees contribute 18% (before March 2003: 8.4%) of their basic salaries to the pension fund. The Company did not makemade contributions to the pension fund amounted to Rp233 billion and Rp205 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2016, 20172019 and 2018.2020, respectively.

Risks exposed to defined benefit programs are risks such as asset volatility and changes in bond yields. The project liabilities are calculated using a discount rate that refers to the level of government bond yields, if the return on program assets is lower, it will result in a program deficit. A decrease in the yield of government bonds will increase the program liabilities, although this will be offset in part by an increase in the value of the program bonds held. The Company ensures that the investment position is set within the framework of asset-liability matching ("ALM") that has been formed to achieve long-term results that are in line with the liabilities in the defined benefit pension plan. Within the ALM framework,

b.    Unfunded pension plan

The Company sponsors unfunded defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution pension plan for its employees.

The defined contribution pension plan is provided to employees with permanent status hired on or after July 1, 2002. The plan is managed by Financial Institutions Pension Fund (Dana Pensiun Lembaga Keuangan or “DPLK”). The Company’s contribution to DPLK is determined based on a certain percentage of the participants’ salaries and amounted to Rp10Rp55 billion and Rp13Rp41 billion for the years ended December 31, 20172019 and 2018,2020, respectively.

Since 2007, the Company has provided pension benefit based on uniformization for both participants prior to and from April 20, 1992 effective for employees retiring beginning February 1, 2009. In 2010, the Company replaced the uniformization with Manfaat Pensiun Sekaligus (“MPS”). MPS is given to those employees reaching retirement age, upon death or upon becoming disabled starting from February 1, 2009.

The Company also provides benefits to employees during a pre-retirement period in which they are inactive for 6 months prior to their normal retirement age of 56 years, known as pre-retirement benefits (Masa Persiapan Pensiun or “MPP”). During the pre-retirement period, the employees still receive benefits provided to active employees, which include, but are not limited to, regular salary, health care, annual leave, bonus and other benefits. Since 2012, the Company has issued a new requirement for MPP effective for employees retiring since April 1, 2012, whereby the employee is required to file a request for MPP and if the employee does not file the request, such employee is required to work until the retirement date.

The sensitivity results above determine the individual impact on the Plan’s DBO at the end of the year. In reality, the Plan is subject to multiple external experience items which may move the DBO in similar or opposite directions, and the Plan’s sensitivity to such changes can vary over time.

There are no changes in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from the previous period.

(iii) (iv) USO

The MoCI issued Regulation No. 17 year 2016 dated September 26, 2016 which replaced RegulationDecree No. 45 year 2012 and other previous regulations regarding policies underlying the USO program. The regulation requires telecommunications operators in Indonesia to contribute 1.25% of gross revenues (with due consideration for bad debts and/or interconnection charges and/or connection charges and/or the exclusion of certain revenues that are not considered as part of gross revenues as a basis to calculate the USO charged) for USO development.

Subsequently, RegulationDecree No. 17 year 2016 dated September 26, 2016 was replaced by RegulationDecree No. 19 year 2016 which was effective from November 8,4, 2016. The latest RegulationDecree stipulates, among other things, the USO charged was effective for fiscal year 2016 and thereafter.

Based on MoCI Regulation No. 25 year 2015 dated June 30, 2015, it is stipulated that, among others, in providing telecommunication access and services in rural areas (USO Program), the provider is determined through a selection process by Balai Penyedia dan Pengelola Pembiayaan Telekomunikasi dan Informatika (“BPPPTI”). BPPPTI replaced Balai Telekomunikasi dan Informatika Pedesaan (“BTIP”) based on RegulationDecree No. 18/PER/M.KOMINFO/11/2010 dated November 19, 2010 of MoCI. Based on Regulation No. 3 year 2018 of MoCIMOCI dated May 23, 2018, BPPPTI has been renamed as Badan Aksesibilitas Telekomunikasi dan Informasi (“BAKTI”). Subsequently, MoCIMOCI Regulation No. 25 year 2015 was replaced by MoCIMOCI Regulation No. 10 year 2018.

On December 27, 2011, Telkomsel (on behalf of Konsorsium Telkomsel Consortium, a consortium which was established with Dayamitra on December 9, 2011) was selected by BPPPTI as a provider of the USO Program in the border areas for all packages (package 1 ‑ 13)1-13) with a total price of Rp830 billion. On such date, Telkomsel was also selected by BPPPTI as a provider of the USO Program (Upgrading) of “Desa Pinter” or “Desa Punya Internet” for packages 1, 2, and 3 with a total price of Rp261 billion.

In 2015, the Program was ceased. In January 2016, Telkomsel filed an arbitration claim to BANI for the settlement of the outstanding receivables of USO Programs.

iii.   Fair value measurement

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between parties in an arm's length transaction.

The fair values of short-term financial assets and financial liabilities with maturities of one year or less (cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, other current financial assets, trade and other payables, accrued expenses, and short-term bank loans) and other non-current assets are considered to approximate their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

The fair values of long-term financial assets and financial liabilities (other non-current assets (long-term trade receivables and restricted cash) and liabilities) approximate their carrying amounts as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The Group determined the fair value measurement for disclosure purposes of each class of financial assets and financial liabilities based on the following methods and assumptions:

(a)

Fair value through profit or loss, primarily consist of stocks, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and convertible bonds. Stocks and mutual funds actively traded in an established market are stated at fair value using quoted market price or, if unquoted, determined using a valuation technique.

(i)   FVTPL, previously as available-for-sale investments, primarily consist of stocks, mutual funds, corporate and government bonds and convertible bonds. Stocks and mutual funds actively traded in an established market are stated at fair value using quoted market price or, if unquoted, determined using a valuation technique. The fair value of convertible bonds and subsidiaries' investments (non-listed equity investments) are determined using valuation technique. The valuation requires management to use unobservable inputs in the model, of which the significant unobservable inputs are disclosed in the tables above. The Group regularly assesses a range of reasonably possible alternatives for those significant unobservable inputs and determines their impact on the total fair value.

The fair values of the non-listed equity investments have been estimated using backsolve method, market approach and liquidation preference, first chicago method, LTM revenue movement, discount on conversion price model, or discounted cash flow model. The valuation requires management to make certain assumptions about the model inputs, including volatility, exit timing, equity value/revenue multiple, discount rate, probability of conversion, probability of qualified financing, WACC, terminal growth rate, revenue achievement, or net working capital to revenue. The probabilities of the various estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and are used in management's estimate of fair value for these non-listed equity investments.

Corporate and government bonds are stated at fair value by reference to prices of similar securities at the reporting date;

(ii)  the

(b)

The fair values of long-term financial liabilities are estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of each liability at rates offered to the Group for similar liabilities of comparable maturities by the bankers of the Group, except for bonds which are based on market price.

The fair value estimates are inherently judgmental and involve various limitations, including:

a.   fairFair values presented do not take into consideration the effect of future currency fluctuations.

b.   estimatedEstimated fair values are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Group would record upon disposal/termination of the financial assets and liabilities.

2.b.   Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks such as market risks (including foreign exchange risk, market price risk, and interest rate risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. Overall, the Group’s financial risk management program is intended to minimize losses on the financial assets and financial liabilities arising from fluctuation of foreign currency exchange rates and the fluctuation of interest rates. Management has a written policy on foreign currency risk management mainly on time deposit

Sensitivity analysis

A strengthening of the U.S. dollarDollar and Japanese yen, as indicated below, against the rupiah at December 31, 20182020 would have decreased equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the reporting date. The analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

assets measured at FVTPL are recognisedrecognized in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The performance of the Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL is monitored periodically, together with a regular assessment of their relevance to the Group’s long-term strategic plans.

As of December 31, 2018,2020, management considered the price risk for the Group’s financial assets measured at FVTPL to be immaterial in terms of the possible impact on profit or loss and total equity from a reasonably possible change in fair value.

c.iii.    Interest rate risk

Interest rate fluctuation is monitored to minimize any negative impact to financial performance. Borrowings at variable interest rates expose the Group to interest rate risk (Notes 1820 and 19)21). To measure market risk pertaining to fluctuations in interest rates, the Group primarily uses interest

As of December 31, 2019 and 2020

For Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2020

(Amounts in the tables expressed in billions of Indonesian Rupiah, unless otherwise stated)

Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group’s Corporate Finance Unit in accordance with the Group’s written policy. The Group placed the majority of its cash and cash equivalents in state-owned banks because they have the most extensive branch networks in Indonesia and are considered to be financially sound banks.banks, as they are owned by the State. Therefore, it is intended to minimize financial loss through banks and financial institutions’ potential failure to make payments.

The customer credit risk is managed by continuous monitoring of outstanding balances and collection. Trade and other receivables do not have any major concentration of risk whereas no customer receivable balance exceeds 5.25%10.35% of trade receivables as of December 31, 2018.2020.

Management is confident in its ability to continue to control and sustain minimal exposure to the customer credit risk given that the Group has recognisedrecognized sufficient provision for impairment of receivables to cover incurred loss arising from uncollectible receivables based on existing historical data on credit losses.

The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for stockholders and benefits to other stakeholders and to maintain an optimum capital structure to minimize the cost of capital.

Periodically, the Group conducts debt valuation to assess possibilities of refinancing existing debts with new ones which have more efficient cost that will lead to more optimized cost-of-debt. In case of idle cash with limited investment opportunities, the Group will consider buying back its shares of stock or paying dividend to its stockholders.

In addition to complying with loan covenants, the Group also maintains its capital structure at the level it believes will not risk its credit rating and which is comparable with its competitors.

Debt-to-equity ratio (comparing net interest-bearing debt to total equity) is a ratio which is monitored by management to evaluate the Group’s capital structure and review the effectiveness of the Group’s debts. The Group monitors its debt levels to ensure the debt-to-equity ratio complies with or is below the ratio set out in its contractual borrowings arrangements and that such ratio is comparable or better than that of regional area entities in the telecommunications industry.

IFRS 16 sets out a comprehensive model for identification of lease agreements and its treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors. IFRS 16 introduces a control model for the identification of leases, distinguishing between leases and service contracts on the basis of whether there is an identified asset controlled by the customer.

IFRS 16 supersedes a number of existing standards and interpretations, including IAS 17 - Leases, IFRIC 4 - Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC 15 - Operating Leases - Incentives, and SIC 27 - Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The Group elected to apply the standard by using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 will be recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2019, with no restatement of comparative information.

39. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED

Under IAS 17 Lease, Lessees recognised a periodic lease expense over the lease termEffective for operating leases, while adoption ofannual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021

     Amendments to IFRS 16, resultedCovid-19-Related Rent Concessions Beyond June 30, 2021

The amendments clarify that lessees may elect not to assess whether certain Covid-19-related rent concessions are lease modifications and that make this election shall account for any change in the Group’s future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases to be recognised as lease liabilities with corresponding Right-of-Use (“RoU”) assets. The amounts are adjustedresulting from the rent concession the same way it would account for the effectschange applying this Standard if the change were not a lease modification. The amendments extend the period of discounting and the practical expedients available and selected by the Group.

The Group elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within IFRS 16, which among other things, allows the Group to carryforward the historicalany reduction in lease assessments which permits the Group not to reassess the Group prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

The Group as Lesseepayments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022.

IFRS 16, establishes a single recognition model for all leases with terms longer than 12 monthsCovid-19-Related Rent Concessions, effective on April 1, 2021.

     Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and corresponding lease liabilities on the consolidated statement of financial position. Besides the carrying forward of the historical lease classification, the Group elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within IFRS 16, which allow the GroupInterest Rate Benchmark Reform phase 2

The amendments clarify that entities would continue to apply single discountcertain hedge accounting requirements assuming that the interest rate to a leases portfolio with reasonably similar characteristic such as similar assets in similar economic environment withbenchmark on which the same end date. The Group also electedhedged cash flows and cash flows from the hedging instrument are based will not to separate the lease components from non-lease components and included the initial direct costs in the measurement of the RoU assets, consequently the Group accounted for the whole contractbe altered as a lease. In addition,result of interest rate benchmark reform. The amendments provide temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to hedging relationships directly affected by IBOR reform.

These amendments are not expected to have an impact to the election of the hindsight practical expedient will make the Group initial application of IFRS 16 to some extent more simple in determining the lease term, especially if the contract contains extensionGroup’s consolidated financial position or termination options. Further, as permitted by the standard, the Group relyperformance.

Effective for annual periods beginning on the previous onerous lease provision as an alternative to perform an impairment review of each of its RoU assets on the transition date.

The Group also elected the practical expedient to recognise RoU assets or lease liabilities for leases which the lease term ends within 12 months after January 1, 2019. The Group will recognise those lease payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term in the consolidated statement of profit or loss2022

     Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and other comprehensive income.Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use

The Group as Lessor

The accounting for lessors under IFRS 16 is similar with the previous lease accounting standard, IAS 17 Leases. It requires the lessors to classify the lease as either operating lease or finance lease. The leases will be classified as financing if it transfers substantially the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset, otherwise it will be classified as an operating lease. 

The Group expect that the effect of the adoption will be material to the consolidated statement of  financial position. The Group do not expect that the impact of the adoption will be material to the consolidated statement of profit of loss and other comprehensive income. The Group currently believe the most significant changes pertaining to the recognition of RoU assets and lease liabilities on the Group consolidated statement of financial position for operating assets such as transmission installation and equipment, land rights, buildings, data processing equipment and other assets as determined. The Group do not expect any significant changes in the Group leasing activities between now and the time of adoption.

The Group continue to finalize the assessment of all of the potential impacts that the adoption of IFRS 16 will have on the Group consolidated financial statements, including evaluation of the existing lease portfolios, review of contractual arrangements for lease contracts, embedded leases, and collation all
