One year on the stock exchange, Mitratel succeeded in becoming the largest in Southeast Asia
This is documentation when mitratel finaly reach their great milestone: IPO
Jakarta, 23 November 2022 – PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Tbk (MTEL) or “Mitratel”, a company engaged in providing digital and telecommunications infrastructure, has completed 1 (one) year of being listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Mitratel continues to maintain growth and develop into the largest tower company (towerco) in the region that is adaptive to change.
Mitratel President Director Theodorus Ardi Hartoko or who is usually called Teddy said that the company had achieved four achievements within a year after listing its shares on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IPO) on November 22, 2021. The first of them, Mitratel is now the largest independent telecommunications tower company in the country & Southeast Asia with 2896 public ownership shares which has the most complete services.
“Mitratel has prepared telecommunications infrastructure, including towers, connectivity (fiber and satellite) and power to tower spread throughout Indonesia to provide the most complete and integrated solutions for all telecommunications operators,” said Teddy in Jakarta, Wednesday (23/11/ 2022).
According to Teddy, globally the trend in the telecommunications tower business is shifting from Towerco to Digital Infraco in the future, to provide cellular services and grow the digital ecosystem.
In Indonesia, Towerco has moved to capture the growth potential of providing digital infrastructure, to encourage future business growth. Especially regarding the provision of fiber optic infrastructure to support cellular services (4G/5G) and digital ecosystems.
“Mitratel, as part of the Telkom Group, will always play a role in preparing a roadmap for Digital Infraco for portfolio development that focuses on providing fiber optic/tower fiberization infrastructure,” Teddy explained.
Second, the company is now the largest telecommunications tower provider company in Southeast Asia in terms of tower ownership, through various tower developments and corporate actions. “MTEL’s tenancy ratio of 1.44x and 5896 towers outside Java provide room for growth with the expansion of mobile operator services throughout Indonesia,” said Teddy.
As of the third quarter of 2022, Mitratel is recorded as having a total of 35,051 telecommunications towers, after the company successfully acquired 6,000 towers belonging to PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel) some time ago.
Third, according to Teddy, Mitratel has low leverage and no exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The company is quite resilient to macroeconomic exposure with a net-debt to EBITDA record of 1.7x, a domestic content level (TKDN) of 100% and all debt in rupiah.
“Fourth, MTEL is also a leading company in the industry with a very good level of investment,” said Teddy. Teddy explained that MTEL had achieved a very good investment grade rating from PEFINDO, namely an IdAAA rating with a stable outlook. MTEL shares are also included in the FTSE Global Equity IDX80, Kompas 100, IDX ESG Leaders and ISSI Index lists.
In the January – September 2022 period, MTEL managed to record revenue that rose 11.5% on an annual basis to IDR 5.6 trillion compared to the same period last year of IDR 5.02 trillion. The increase in revenue increased the company’s net profit 18.1% to IDR 1.22 trillion compared to the previous IDR 1.03 trillion.
Teddy stated that the company’s consistent growth succeeded in recording EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation) increasing to 15.7%. “EBITDA is expected to increase as colocation increases, especially due to the extensive tower coverage outside Java,” said Teddy.
According to Teddy, the company’s business growth in the first – third quarter of 2022 was recorded to consistently be greater than industry growth. This is what makes Mitratel’s profitability increase more significantly compared to last year.
Performance Continues to Grow
Meanwhile, PT Mirae Asset Sekuritas Indonesia Senior Investment Information Nafan Aji projects that Mitratel’s performance will continue to grow. Nafan said that the growth of the Telkom subsidiary was starting to show results after almost a year of being listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) on Wednesday (23/11/2022).
“MTEL is still experiencing bearish consolidation in the short term. MTEL has support at IDR 680 per share and resistance at IDR 740. This is technical analysis. Bullish consolidation will take effect if MTEL consistently stays above IDR 705. Currently it is at IDR 710,” said Nafan.
Even so, Nafan believes that Mitratel’s trend will continue to increase until the end of the year. This cannot be separated from a few Mitratel business expansions in the tower sector. He said that Mitratel’s improved performance was also supported by Indonesia’s impressive economic growth with relatively solid domestic macroeconomic fundamentals.
“This could be a catalyst for improving Mitratel’s top line and bottom-line fundamental performance,” he continued.
Nafan said positive economic growth encouraged an increase in the need for internet connectivity services. Not only that, continued Nafan, Mitratel’s actions in supporting fiber optic development will also further improve the company’s performance in the future.
“Demand for connectivity in the future will definitely increase with increasingly rapid technological development, even though the fundamental performance is still at odds with the performance of share prices, technically it is better if it is consistently above IDR 750,” said Nafan.
Strong Fundamentals Established: Mitratel Shifts Focus to Asset Monetization
The President Director of PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Tbk. or Mitratel, Theodorus Ardi Hartoko or Teddy, continues to drive positive performance outcomes in 2023 through various corporate strategies. Over the past few years, Mitratel has carried out various corporate strategies both organically and inorganically, resulting in Mitratel becoming the largest tower owner in Southeast Asia. With a tower ownership exceeding 35,000, Mitratel has earned the title of Tower King.
Teddy emphasized that Mitratel is shifting its focus towards enhancing fundamentals through asset monetization. As an Independent Tower Provider, Mitratel will continue to aggressively leverage its assets through orders from all Mobile Network Operators (MNO) as their network expands, extending beyond Java. The upsurge in demand for colocation from MNOs will certainly foster the Tenancy Ratio, leading to an increase in the company’s profitability.
“We are confident that the company’s value will experience rapid growth in 2023, bolstered by strong financial performance. Mitratel remains optimistic that with our strong market dominance, along with organic and inorganic business expansion, will significantly enhance our financial performance this year,” uttered Teddy.
Despite being the highest number tower company, Mitratel’s tenancy ratio lags behind its competitors. However, Mitratel has recently managed to record an EBITDA Margin comparable to its competitors. Consequently, in the short to medium term, Mitratel’s performance is expected to outperform its competitors.
“Since becoming the owner of the largest towers in Southeast Asia, Mitratel remains committed to striving for strong fundamentals, ensuring consistent and solid performance, above the industry norms. There are numerous undiscovered business opportunities that hold potential for profitable ventures, enabling sustainable growth for the company. We will focus on providing end-to-end solutions for our customers, for instance, Mitratel has already prepared Fiber-to-the-Tower (FTTT), Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS), and satellite-based services, setting a high bar that other competitors find challenging to replicate.”
“I have confidence that the telecommunications infrastructure business will persistently grow and evolve, offering promising opportunities for investors. Investors can see and consider statistics related to Mitratel’s tower business, such as the large number of towers, significant revenue growth, and profit levels, so they can make the right decision when making an investment. Projecting Mitratel’s future market capitalization growth is not challenging, especially considering its position among the 30 companies with the largest market capitalization. Our goal is to ascend to the top 20 or even the top 10,” emphasized Teddy.

Mitratel Acquires 967,1 Km Fiber Optic
JAKARTA – Focused and consistent on being the largest digital infrastructure company (Digital Infraco) in Indonesia, PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Tbk. (MTEL) or Mitratel has acquired 967,1 Km fiber optic under the ownership of PT Power Telecom with 1,144.7 Km billable length. This new fiber-optic network has strategic value for completing tower business portfolios with a billable ratio of 1.18x. The entire optical network, as the object of this acquisition, is located on Java Island.
To execute this acquisition, the company allocated IDR 85 billion from internal funding. As a side note, the company allocated capital expenditures of IDR 7 trillion this year and had absorbed about 58% of the expenditures until the end of the Q3-2023. That suggests that MTEL possesses sufficient liquidity to fund the expansion of tower and fiber optic until the end of this year.
President Director of Mitratel, Theodorus Ardi Hartoko, conveyed that the acquisition of fiber optic reflected the company’s commitment to expanding the market share while strengthening MTEL’s position as a strategic partner of the telecommunications operator industry in Indonesia. “Our persistence to consolidate tower business, fiber optic, and other services will establish MTEL as the largest Digital Infraco in the Asia Pacific,” stated Teddy, Theodorus’ nickname.
In the Q3-2023 performance report, MTEL recorded proprietorship of 37,091 towers, an increase of 5.8% compared to the same period last year of 35,051 towers. Meanwhile the number of collocations jumped 21% to 18,613 from the previous 15,339 collocations (yoy). Mitratel also succeeded in extending fiber optics from only 5,872 Km to 29,042 Km.
“We believe that the future business landscape of the telecommunications industry will be marked by the divestment of towers and fiber optics owned by the MNO industry. They do this because they want to focus more on product innovation that provides added value and fulfills consumer needs. This change is certainly an opportunity for Mitratel to become a strategic partner and grow with them,” said Teddy.
Teddy explained that the company will continue to expand its assets by acquiring both towers and fiber optic organically and inorganically, including acquiring divested assets from telecommunications operators. Prior to the length increase of the fiber optic at the end of September 2023, MTEL had also successfully acquired numerous towers, the majority of which were located on Sumatra Island.

Of the 803 acquired towers, 562 towers or 70% are outside Java Island. Meanwhile, the remaining 30% or 241 towers are located on Java Island. This additional asset composition confirms MTEL’s commitment to becoming a strategic partner for the telecommunications operator industry in expanding throughout the country.
“Expanding market share outside Java has become a strategic agenda for a number of telecommunications operator companies. This expansion is in line with the increasing need for the internet in various regions along with even distribution of economic growth. As the major player in this business and part of a BUMN, we definitely have to be at the forefront in helping their expansion,” said Mitratel President Director Theodorus Ardi Hartoko.
Henceforth, Theodorus Ardi Hartoko continued, the company will continue to add assets, both in towers and fiber optics. Including acquiring divested assets from telecommunications operators. Previously, at the end of September 2023, MTEL had also completed the purchase of towers, the majority were located on Sumatra Island.
“We believe that the future business landscape of the telecommunications industry will be marked by the divestment of towers and fiber optics owned by the MNO industry. They do this because they want to focus more on product innovation that provides added value and fulfills consumer needs. This change is certainly an opportunity for Mitratel to become a strategic partner and grow with them,” said Teddy, Theodorus’ nickname.

Mitratel Akuisisi 803 Menara dengan 1.327 Penyewa
JAKARTA – Fokus dan konsisten menjadi perusahaan infrastruktur digitial terbesar di Indonesia, PT Dayamitra Telekomunikasi Tbk (MTEL) menyampaikan informasi telah mengakuisisi sebanyak 803 menara milik PT Gametraco Tunggal senilai Rp1,75 triliun. Dengan akuisisi ini, jumlah tenant MTEL bertambah 1.327 penyewa.
Dari 803 menara yang diakuisisi ini, sebanyak 562 menara atau 70% berada di luar Pulau Jawa. Sedangkan 30% sisanya atau sebanyak 241 menara berlokasi di Pulau Jawa. Komposisi tambahan aset ini menegaskan komitmen MTEL untuk menjadi mitra strategis industri operator telekomunikasi dalam menggelar ekspansi ke seluruh negeri.
“Memperluas pangsa pasar ke luar Pulau Jawa telah menjadi agenda strategis sejumlah perusahaan operator telekomunikasi. Ekspansi tersebut sejalan dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan internet di berbagai daerah seiring meratanya pertumbuhan ekonomi. Sebagai pemain utama di bisnis ini dan bagian dari BUMN, tentu kami harus berada di garda terdepan dalam membantu ekspansi mereka,” kata Direktur Utama Mitratel Theodorus Ardi Hartoko.
Atas dasar itu, Theodorus Ardi Hartoko melanjutkan, perseroan akan terus menambah aset, baik berupa menara maupun fiber optik. Termasuk mengakuisisi aset yang dilepas (divestasi) operator telekomunikasi. Sebelumnya, pada akhir September 2023, MTEL juga telah menuntaskan pembelian puluhan menara yang mayoritas berlokasi di Pulau Sumatera.
“Kami meyakini bahwa lanskap bisnis industri telekomunikasi ke depan akan ditandai dengan divestasi menara dan fiber optik milik industri MNO. Mereka melakukan itu karena ingin lebih fokus pada inovasi produk yang memberikan nilai tambah (added value) dan pemenuhan kebutuhan konsumen. Perubahan ini tentu menjadi peluang bagi Mitratel untuk menjadi partner strategis dan tumbuh bersama mereka,” kata Teddy, sapaan akrab Theodorus.
Pada laporan kinerja Kuartal III-2023, MTEL mencatatkan kepemilikan 37.091 menara, bertambah 5,8% dibandingkan periode yang sama tahun lalu sebanyak 35.051 menara. Sementara jumlah kolokasi melonjak 21% menjadi 18.613 dari sebelumnya 15.339 kolokasi (yoy). Mitratel juga berhasil memperpanjang serat optik dari sebelumnya hanya 5.872 Km menjadi 29.042 Km.
Teddy menjelaskan pembelian 803 menara ini bernilai strategis bukan hanya karena posisinya yang mayoritas berada di luar pulau jawa. Yang tidak kalah penting, ada tambahan 1.327 tenant baru yang menjadi bagian dari menara tersebut. “Selain menguatkan Mitratel sebagai tower provider yang menjangkau seluruh wilayah Indonesia, akuisisi ini juga meningkatkan tenancy ratio,” kata Teddy.
