Strength:
Positive revenue growth in 3Q24 of +10.5% YoY, driven by increased number of towers, tenants, and the expansion of MTEL’s fiber optic network.; higher lease rate thanks to MTEL’s new service, Power-as-a-Service (PaaS), which has been bundled into 1,647 of its towers
Weakness:
-13.8% QoQ decline in 3Q24 earnings, mainly due to interest changes from the IDR 1.6tn bank loans taken to support expansions; higher net gearing ratio of 0.52x in 3Q24 (2Q24: 0.46x)
Opportunity:
MNOs’ expansion to cover underserved areas (such as Eastern Indonesia) may increase demand for Build-to-Suit towers; intense competition among MNOs could boost tenancy ratios of tower companies; YTD market underperformance may result in buying opportunities
Threat:
Slower-than-expected MNO expansion due to intense price war, high regulatory risk, and lack of incentive may hinder tower companies’ growth; MNO consolidation could lead to discontinuation of some lease contracts; possible continued market underperformance on the back of the aforementioned threats
