JAKARTA: PT Indosat Tbk, operating as Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, delivered a promising financial result in its third quarter of 2025, signalling steady growth across key financial indicators despite a challenging macroeconomic environment.
The success is attributed to its strong business fundamentals, disciplined execution and customer-centric strategy.
“Economic challenges demand us to stay adaptive and focused on what truly matters, our customers,” said Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison president director and chief executive officer Vikram Sinha.
“Indosat’s artificial intelligence (AI)-native transformation is redefining how we create value and deliver digital experiences.
“With a strong foundation, disciplined execution, and purpose-driven innovation, we are confident Indosat will continue to grow sustainably and deliver meaningful impact for Indonesia’s digital economy.”
The numbers serve as evidence that corroborates Vikram’s statement.
Throughout the third quarter, Indosat experienced a 3.8% increase compared to the previous quarter, bringing revenue up to 14.052 trillion rupiah.
Growth was driven by improvements across its cellular, multimedia, data communications, Internet, and fixed telecommunications business lines, which grew by 4.2%, 1.9% and 1.1% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q), respectively.
Positive momentum was also reflected in normalised net profit attributable to owners of the parent entity, which rose 29.1% to 1.32 trillion rupiah.
Meanwhile, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation grew by 0.8% to 6.49 trillion over the same period.
The average revenue per user increased by 3.6% q-o-q to around 40,000 rupiah, supported by a stable mobile customer base of 95 million.
Indosat is continuously transforming towards an AI-native system, delivering innovations that create tangible value for its customers.
In the third quarter, the company launched its AI-powered Anti-Spam and Anti-Scam solutions, built on its proprietary AIvolusi5G platform, with the aim of enhancing digital trust and safety, as well as redefining the quality and security of customer engagement.
Back in August, the company unveiled a collaboration with Cisco to create Indonesia’s first Sovereign Security Operations Centre, a landmark initiative to bolster national cybersecurity and digital sovereignty.
Building on the success of the Indonesia AI Centre of Excellence, this partnership marks a pivotal step in advancing AI innovation and digital resilience across the nation.
The company also operated over 208,000 4G BTS, up 7.7% year-on-year, alongside a rapid increase in 5G BTS, now reaching 1,404 sites.
This network expansion forms the backbone of Indosat’s mission to deliver faster, more reliable, and inclusive digital connectivity for all Indonesians.
Keeping sustainable and customer-centric values at the helm of its operations, coupled with disciplined execution, Indosat invested around 79.5% of total capital expenditure into its cellular network to support surging data demand.
These efforts are building a foundation towards an AI-native, cloud-enabled, and customer-obsessed organisation that positions it as a key catalyst in shaping Indonesia’s digital future. — The Jakarta Post/ANN
