    Review

    Growth, Innovation and Resilience It gives me great pleasure to open this review of Indosat’s

    2010 performance. Throughout 2010, the Company has

    continued to demonstrate the enormous potential that

    a combined strategy of focussing on customer value and

    technological innovation can achieve.

    We embarked upon a program in 2009 to transform the

    Company and to focus on value. We have made clear and

    confident progress towards successfully implementing this

    strategy. Our cellular market share has grown significantly

    and we have laid the technological foundations in order to

    develop and build on this progress in the years to come.

    This has been achieved against a backdrop of slower overall

    growth in the market and heightened competition for

    revenue market share and we are justifiably proud of the

    progress we have achieved.

    In 2010, the active removal of lower value, calling card

    style customers from our network and our concentration

    onexpandingthecustomerexperienceandquality

    towards higher value subscribers has seen four consecutive

    quartersofcellularmarketsharegrowth.Thisisparticularly

    impressive given the increased competitive price dynamics

    towards the latter end of the year.

    This turnaround was not just apparent in the evolution

    and growth of our customer base. Through sharing

    knowledge, expertise and resources across the Qtel Group

    we have also focussed heavily on expanding customer

    choice through the development of our product range.

    These have focussed on the development of enterprise led

    solutions across the Android, Blackberry and Apple product

    lines, some of which were global firsts in technological

    innovation, further demonstrating our products and

    services leadership role in Indonesia.

    Inordertosupporttherequirementsofhighervalue

    customers and to ensure that they and our future

    customers are offered the optimum service possible, we

    havealsocontinuedtoprioritiseournetworkquality.The

    network is now DC HSPA+ ready and capable of offering

    speeds of up to 42Mbps, this is a key differentiator in the

    market and we are proud to be the first network to offer

    these speeds in Asia.

    Translating Value into Performance Our value approach to developing market share and

    customer experience has translated strongly in terms of

    financial results and despite a program of continued capital

    investment in the business, we have recorded strong

  • 32 INDOSAT • 2010 Annual Report

    EBITDA growth of 9.7% to Rp9,625.9 billion in 2010. This

    growth has not been at the expense of the EBITDA margin

    whichwehavesuccessfullyincreasedto48.62%,andhas

    been underpinned by various cost efficiency programs

    which are in line with the ongoing strategic realignment of

    the business.

    Company revenues have also substantially increased with

    growth of 5.2% to Rp19,796.5 billion in 2010. This is

    principally as a result of the rate of growth in our cellular

    businesses and our balanced value strategy which saw

    cellular revenue grow by 12.1% to Rp16,027.1 billion.

    The turnaround of our business was validated by the

    internationalcapitalmarketsinJuly2010,wherewe

    successfully raised US$650 million at 7.375%. This enabled

    us to refinance a number of existing facilities and reduce

    the Company’s overall debt position by 5.5% by the end

    of the year; we will look to continue minimalising our

    financing costs throughout 2011.

    Our financial performance is a tribute to the strength and

    depth of our senior leadership team who have in a short

    period of time, implemented a strategy that will maximise

    the potential to obtain a market leadership position whilst

    continuing to deliver value to our shareholders. The team

    have demonstrated their ability to instil a revised focus and

    purpose to the Company’s activities and we have every

    confidence in the roadmap they have devised for the next

    five years to further transform the business.

    Lastyear,weannouncedthestrategicrealignmentofthe

    business into four distinct business units. I am pleased to

    announce that the implementation of this has entered

    its final phase. This will streamline management focus

    and ensure the optimisation of our output across the

    business. This is underpinned by our initiatives to help

    develop and motivate our people. We strongly recognise

    the integral value our employees represent and have put

    in place a series of programs to ensure that they have the

    skills, empowerment and prospects to move the business

    forward.

    Committed to our responsibilitiesAlongside our commitment to our staff is our steadfast,

    continued focus on corporate social responsibility an

    intrinsic part of our strategic goal of sustainability.

    In 2010, we continued to further develop the

    implementation of Corporate Governance practices across

    the organisation. We issued a formal Company Code of

    Ethics that applies to all employees and we have a new

    labour agreement between the Indosat employee union

    and management.

    We are also continually aware of the role that Indosat plays

    in the community. The Indonesian people were affected

    by a number of natural disasters in 2010 and were cut

    off from vital services and supplies. Indosat worked hard

    to support those affected through disaster aid programs

    during the Mount Merapi eruptions and our ongoing

    Mobile Health Clinic program. In 2011 we will further

    genuine progress our organization has made over the

    course of the last year. Indosat remains a Company with

    outstanding potential for development in a market which

    is growing rapidly, both in terms of population but also

    sophistication. Our focus on a balanced value strategy with

    a customer centric approach that focuses on technological

  • THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS’ REPORT

    Strengthening Our Position Indonesia’s telecommunications market and operating landscape entering 2010 were little different than previous years, with slower overall growth in the industry accompanied by heightened competition especially among the major industry players to retain and expand revenue market share including through aggressive pricing strategies. Within the market and operating environment as described above, we believe that Indosat has succeeded in strengthening its second-place position in the cellular market, which represented our primary businesslinecontributingsome81%ofourtotalrevenuesin 2010. While we continue to pursue a balanced-value strategy, we focused more on resources allocation to target high-potential segments or services, and succeeded in considerably expanding our cellular subscriber base. As at December 31, 2010, we have 44.3 million cellular subscribers, a 34.3% increase y-o-y. We believe that these subscribers have chosen us for our product innovation and quality,networkreliability,andexcellentservice.

    The year 2010 was a

    turnaround year for

    Indosat as we gained new

    momentum to expand

    revenue market share in our

    cellular business, modernized

    our telecommunications

    networks, and completed

    Review

    Our market leadership in products and services was in full evidence in 2010. In March 2010, Indosat became the first cellular provider in Indonesia that offers Android-based services in cooperation with several distributors of leading Android handsets in the country, along with the i-Store, a virtual Android Apps Store and the Indosat Wiigo, the first Android-on-demand solution in Indonesia. Next, in April 2010, Indosat became the first telco operator in Asia and the second in the world to launch a commercial service of broadband Internet access with Dual Carrier (DC) HSPA+ technology giving downlink speeds up to 42 Mbps and uplinkspeedsofupto5.8Mbps,takingadvantageofthesecond carrier license recently issued to Indosat in 2009. As of year-end 2010, the high-speed DC HSPA+ service has beenavailableinJakarta,SurabayaandMedan.

    Another pioneering service was the i-klan Store, the world’s first self-service, mobile Internet advertising portal. LaunchedinJuly2010,thei-klanStoreadvertiserstoconduct highly segmented advertising campaign direct to a subscriber’s handset. Indosat has also strengthened its position in BlackBerry services through the launch of StarOne BlackBerry on the CDMA 2000-1x platform, as well as innovations such as BlackBerry On Demand (Enterprise) Hosted that enable businesses to access the full suite of BlackBerry enterprise solutions, including Mobile Data Services, from their Matrix, Mentari, IM3 and StarOne SIM cards without the need of specialized servers or software.

    We also spent considerable resources in cellular network expansion and modernization throughout 2010. We began implementing single RAN SDR (Software Defined Radio) technology in our Base Transceiver Station (BTS) network, while preparing to migrate into an all-IP network. These are investments that will enable us to capture more market revenue share, while also resulting in more cost-efficient network operating costs in the short and medium term going forward.

    2010 Results and Performance Indosat recorded Rp19,796 billion in consolidated operating revenues for the full year of 2010, a turn-around growth of 5.2% over revenues in 2009. While revenues from our non-cellular business were below target, this was more than compensated for by the robust performance of our cellular business, which posted a 12.1% revenue growth over last year’s level to Rp16,027 billion in 2010, despite greatly

    increased pressures from our competitors especially during thefourthquarteroftheyear.

    Our EBITDA grew by a healthy 9.7% to Rp9,626 billion in 2010, while EBITDA margin was improved by 2 percentage pointsoverthelevelin2009to48.6%.TheincreaseinEBITDA margin demonstrates the progress we continue to make with our cost efficiency programs, which in 2010 include a realignment of the commission structure to wholesalers and retailers towards more efficient marketing and selling costs.

    During the year, we introduced a new vendor management strategy that will eventually lead to better prices on equipmentpurchases.WehavealsoimplementedamorestringentapproachtoCAPEXinvestments,requiringthatindividual CAPEX investment proposal be assessed in terms of expected commercial returns. Without compromising onournetworkqualityandexpansionprograms,wehavemanaged therefore to considerably reduce the ratio of CAPEX-to-sales, with cash-out CAPEX of Rp6,535 billion in 2010 compared to Rp10,670 billion in 2009. While the greater bulk of savings from these initiatives will only be realized in 2011 and later years, Indosat in 2010 has already moved into a positive operating cash flows position, reversing the trend in the previous couple of years.

    IndosatconcludedasuccessfulrefinancingexerciseinJuly2010, raising US$650 million at 7.375% over 10 years in the international bond market. We used the proceeds to repay our USD bonds due in 2010, early repaid our USD Bonds due in 2012 and early repaid four of our IDR loans due in 2012, 2013 and 2014. With total debt successfully reduced by 5.5% at year-end 2010, we can expect a reduction in our financing costs in 2011, to the benefit of our bottom line.

    We were greatly encouraged that we have been able to achieve these results alongside ongoing initiatives in the broader transformation of our business towards becoming a customer centric organization.

    Transforming to Unleash Our Potential Indosat continued to transform towards its vision to be the customers’ preferred provider for all communications and information needs. We established the Indosat Transformation Roadmap 2010-2015 that will take us over the next five years into a position to out-perform the

    competition. We aim to get there by focusing more on our customers, expanding into new high-growth markets, improving the competencies of our people, delivering the highest returns on our assets, and securing a technological leadership to give us an edge over the competition. All of these will be delivered with emphasis on Excellence in Execution based on cost efficiency and effectiveness while striving for speed and accuracy in execution.

    By the end of 2010, our organization restructuring, which forms an important element in our business transformation, was nearly completed with all the major building blocks already in place. The implementation of our new business model with the creation of four Strategic Business Units (SBUs) each concentrating on a different market segment had entered its final phase. We have also transformed the organization of a number of support functions to be centralized at the Head Office instead of operating from our Regional Offices as previously.

    We embarked on a program called Operational Excellence Award, in which we encourage employees to submit ideas for improvements in our operational process and procedures. We rolled-out the Indosat Financial Awareness (IFA) program, an initiative designed to provide an adequateleveloffinancialskillandawarenessappropriatefor employees at different levels and competencies in the organization. A similar undertaking was the Indosat Transformation Awareness (ITA) program intended to reinforce employee motivation and readiness in dealing with the various aspects of our ongoing corporate transformation. Indosat also held a number of Indosat ChangeLeaderworkshopsforseniormanagementand staff at the managerial level, providing them with thenecessaryleadershipqualitiestoleadthedrivefortransformation at their respective units. A Responsible Corporate Citizen Indosat continues to honor the commitment to serve the communities and to responsibly implement our goals of sustainability. We have defined five areas in which we aim to differentiate ourselves as a responsible corporate citizen, namely in organizational governance, labor practices, consumer issues, environment, and community involvement.

    The year 2010 saw major progress in regards to the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) practices in our organization. We established a number of

    executive committees to strengthen our overall governance framework, amended our Articles of Association to comply with prevailing laws and regulations as well as to accommodate recent changes in our organization structure, and issued a guide to the implementation of Company’s Code of Ethics that applies to all employees including theBoardofDirectors.WehaveanewCollectiveLaborAgreement(CLA)signedbytheManagementandtheIndosat employee union in December 31, 2010, and we continuetoimprovethequalityofourcustomerservice,including in complaint handling.

    Meanwhile, the highlights of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities throughout 2010 in areas of community involvement and environment include among others our Mobile Health Clinic program, disaster aid programs during the Mount Merapi eruptions, the fifth annual Indosat Wireless Innovation Contest (IWIC) to promote innovations and creativity in wireless technology among the general public, and efforts to reduce the carbon footprint in our Base Transceiver Station (BTS) operations. These and many other activities as well, are described in more detail in a separate Indosat Sustainability Report 2010, which is the third such document the we have published in line with global best practice.

    Recognition for Excellence Our striving for Excellence in Execution has not gone unnoticed and we received many accolades recognizing a variety of achievements and accomplishments. The qualityofourcallcenterandcustomerservicewasnotablyrecognized by the Call Center Award for Service Excellence 2010 from Carre-Center for Customer Satisfaction & Loyalty(Carre-CCSL)andMarketingmagazine,anawardin Best Contact Center Indonesia 2010 from Indonesia Contact Center Association (ICCA), and the accolade as ‘Best Customer Care Operator’ in the Selular Award 2010 by Selular magazine. Indosat was also recognized in the sixth position as ‘Most Admired Companies in Indonesia 2010’inthepollingbyAsiaWallStreetJournal.Inaddition,wereceivedmanyawardsrecognizingthequalityandinnovativeness of our products and services.

    Without detracting from such recognitions, we also admit that there is still lots of room for improvement in many aspects of our business and operations. Ever mindful that we are now playing not only against competitors in the telecommunications industry but also in a league of major national and multi-national companies, we have striven

    to instill a mindset of continuous improvement within our entire organization.

    Changes to the Board of Directors Pursuant to the resolutions of the Extraordinary General MeetingofShareholdersonFebruary8,2011,HansC.Moritz has taken over the position of Stephen Edward Hobbs in the Board of Directors, effective as of May 1, 2011.

    Business Prospects and Strategy 2011For Indosat, the year 2011 will be a year of hope and challenges. While we recognize that many challenges still lie ahead, we can expect to begin to see some concrete results out of the various initiatives that we have taken in 2010 in building a solid foundation for our ongoing transformation. On that note, we have established our work programs and priorities for 2011.

    Our main priority is in maintaining and further strengthening our position as regards revenue market share. We aim to achieve this by, among other things, strengthening our position in broadband and BlackBerry services including in the corporate and SME market segments, developing our mobile-commerce services as well as tower business, and implementing a network-cluster strategy in potential areas. Indosat will also focus on buildingandimprovingservicecapacityandqualitythroughthe development of HSPA+ services, cost-efficient BTS,

    additional network transmission capacity, and continuing with our network modernization program as well as our plan for the launch of the Palapa-E satellite.

    Meanwhile, Indosat will also continue with key initiatives to improve work effectiveness and achieve operational excellence within the overall framework of our sustainable transformation program of our organization and people. These initiatives, along with our business strategies, will solidify not only our market position, but also enhance the value we provide to customers and stakeholders alike as a full-service and fully integrated telecommunications operator unlike any other in Indonesia.

    Acknowledgments It has indeed been a challenging journey for Indosat in the last couple of years, as we completed the first steps in our transformational growth path to unleash our potential and ultimately to outperform in what we do. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to extend the highest of appreciation to the entire management and staff of Indosat for their dedicated efforts that have made for a satisfying 2010. Our thanks also go to the shareholders for their guidanceandcontinuingvoteofconfidenceinus.Equallyimportant for our many successes in 2010 are of course the contributions of our strategic partners and especially of our loyal customers, for which we are sincerely grateful.

    We look forward to the continuing support from all our stakeholders. Encouraged by the positive results and progress that we have made in 2010, we are excited about our potential to achieve even greater successes in 2011 and beyond.
