Strong non-cellular revenue growth of 17.7% predominantly driven by increased fixed data and IDD incoming traffic.

Commenting on the results, Alexander Rusli, Chief Executive Officer and President Director of PT Indosat Tbk. Said:

“Despite softer Q3 Cellular revenue, Indosat continued to generate strong revenue growth for the nine months 2013 in line with guidance. The main driver of the growth is the increasing demand for data services & connectivity from both consumers and enterprise customers. We remain focused on improving customer experience through our network modernization project, which is starting to bear fruit, although the network quality has been negatively impacted during the swap out.During Q3 we also faced a substantial foreign exchange loss due to weakening IDR vs. USD that pushed  our net profit into negative territory. We will continue to assess how to best protect ourselves against FX risk going forward.”

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is a useful supplemental measure of cash available prior to debt service, capital expenditures and income tax. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. EBITDA does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP. The Company’s method of calculating EBITDA may differ from the methods used by other companies and, accordingly, it may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
