Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLKM) to Restate FY23–FY24 Financial Statements
TLKM announced that its FY23–FY24 consolidated financial statements will be restated following a review of accounting policies
related to telecom infrastructure assets, particularly misclassification of “last mile” network assets that should have shorter
depreciation periods. The adjustment is expected to lower pre-tax profit, assets, and equity for both years but will not affect cash
flow. Separately, an internal probe identified USD324 mn (IDR 5 tn) in questionable enterprise segment transactions during 2014–
2021, mostly in 2016–2019, suspected of lacking economic substance and potentially inflating reported revenue and receivables.
The case has also drawn investigations from the U.S. SEC and DOJ, while the co. is implementing governance improvements
including disciplinary actions, external accounting advisors, and strengthened compliance oversight. (Emitentrust)
Comment:
a) according to management, proper classification for FTTH should be on asset class with shorter use of life, therefore a higher
depreciation cost and lower net asset. The changes will only impact below EBITDA level, and no cash impact.
b) the questionable transaction stated in higher receivables had been noticed by TLKM internal audit, therefore the company has
expensed expected credit loss impairment in 2020.
Management affirm the devidend payout policy will not be impacted due to the financial restatement. The company target of a
higher (or at least the same) nominal of DPS this year.
