Telkom commits to paying 60-90 percent of 2026 net profit as dividends

PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (TLKM) has committed to continuing to deliver the best value to its shareholders and stakeholders, one way being through cash dividend distributions.

Telkom’s Finance and Risk Management Director, Arthur Angelo Syailendra, said the company is committed to paying dividends with a dividend payout ratio (DPR) in the range of 60-90 percent of net profit for the 2026 financial year.

“In principle, Telkom will continue to strive to give its best to stakeholders and shareholders,” Angelo said during a Public Expose Live held via the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in Jakarta on Monday.

Angelo assured that the company will still consider cash dividend distributions after the current financial year ends, with any decision to be determined first at a general meeting of shareholders (GMS).

“The assumption for the total dividend to be distributed is based on a payout ratio of 60-90 percent of net profit,” Angelo said.

He explained that the amount of cash dividend to be paid will not only take into account the company’s net profit, but will also balance dividend growth per share with the company’s expansion and investment needs.

Beyond investment requirements, he continued, the decision on cash dividends will also consider the company’s performance, market conditions, and shareholders’ aspirations.

According to him, such a policy is needed so the company can continue to provide returns to shareholders while retaining room for expansion and investment to support business growth.

“Telkom will balance dividend growth per share with its expansion and investment needs, the company’s performance, market conditions, and shareholders’ aspirations,” he said.

Under this policy, Telkom keeps open the possibility of sustaining dividend growth, while remaining mindful of the company’s needs in carrying out its investment and business development agenda.

As of the first half of 2026, Telkom booked consolidated revenue of Rp75.9 trillion, up 3.9 percent year on year (yoy) compared with the same period last year.

In line with revenue growth, the company’s EBITDA rose 3.8 percent (yoy) to Rp37.5 trillion, with an EBITDA margin of 49.4 percent.

For the period, the company recorded net profit attributable to owners of the parent entity of Rp10.6 trillion, up 1.4 percent (yoy), with a net profit margin of 14.0 percent.

Meanwhile, normalised net income reached Rp11.3 trillion, an increase of 6.2 percent (yoy), with a margin of 14.9 percent.
