• Ongoing SEC and DOJ Investigations

  The company is subject to ongoing investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) related to alleged U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations and accounting/disclosure issues. Approximately 140 transactions, primarily pre-2021, lacked economic substance, and the company cannot reliably estimate the potential loss or range of losses from these investigations.

• Significant Spectrum Allocation Secured

  Subsidiary Telkomsel secured a total spectrum allocation of 100 MHz, consisting of 2x10 MHz in the 700 MHz band and 80 MHz in the 2.6 GHz band, through the 2026 selection process. This is a critical operational win for future network capacity and competitive positioning.

• Massive Cash Dividend Approved and Paid

  Shareholders approved a cash dividend for 2025 amounting to Rp21,999 billion (Rp223.17 per share), which was paid on July 10, 2026. This represents a substantial return to shareholders.

• Increased Share Buyback Activity

  The company executed Rp1,510 billion in share buybacks by June 30, 2026, as part of an expanded Rp4,000 billion program, significantly increasing treasury stock from Rp30 billion at year-end 2025.

The filing reveals a mixed outlook for Telkom Indonesia. While the company achieved modest profit growth and its subsidiary Telkomsel secured a significant 100 MHz spectrum allocation crucial for future operations, it is simultaneously grappling with serious ongoing SEC and DOJ investigations. These probes, related to alleged FCPA violations and accounting irregularities involving 140 transactions, pose a substantial legal and reputational risk, with the company unable to reliably estimate potential losses. Additionally, a massive cash dividend and increased share buyback activity, while shareholder-friendly, represent significant cash outflows. The balance sheet shows a notable increase in liabilities and a decrease in equity, which warrants close attention.
