Danareksa/Cons 109.4 45.1 12.5 Core numbers are well managed, well in line. The 2Q21 EBITDA was Rp3.39tn, unchanged on qoq basis. The 2Q21 personnel cost had the most impact in OPEX ISAT relative to JCI Index due to one-off reversal provision from impact of new labor law. Below EBITDA, interest costs increased in 2Q21 due to higher financial leases resulted from towers sale-lease back agreements. Despite those effects, Indosat posted normalized net profit Rp74bn for 2nd consecutive quarter (adjusted for the net gain of Rp5.32tn from towers sale). On YTD basis, 1H21 Indosat revenue and EBITDA are well in line with ours/cons. estimates, and we believe there is room to generate higher net profit in the 2nd semester 2021. Indosat 2Q21 milestone and sustainable outlook. As expected, the proceeds from towers sale drove Indosat cash balances at its highest levels Rp10.9tn, cutting Indosat’s leverage to its lowest levels net debt/EBITDA 0.34x in its recent history. Moreover Indosat is mulling divestment of its switching company with a book value Rp1.06tn. We believe this cash balance itself earmarks a rare Indosat milestone. Meantime, the current and projected Source : Bloomberg EBITDA and margin generates significant cashflow to support capex spending, whilst capex intensity is increasingly more sustainable. We suspect cash balance could be used for handsome dividend payout.
