This is the second edition of our Deep Dive series , a detailed study ofall operating and financial trends in South East Asia post 3Q10 results.

We are upgrading ISAT to OW with a TP of Rp6,600 and estimatedtotal return of 18%. Our 2Q10 Deep Dive report highlighted a potentialturnaround in core operating statistics; all of these trends showedcontinued improvement in 3Q10, driving our upgrade. We are alsoupgrading TLKM and TEL PM to OW (TP of Rp9,800 and Php2,600respectively) after recent underperformance.

Indonesia wireless growing faster then forecast: All three wirelessoperators beat our 3Q10 net addition numbers by 24-46%. This

provides evidence supporting our contention that rising rural wagegrowth will start to positively impact telecom industry revenue growth indeveloping Asia, particularly once penetration hits 100% and lowerincremental ARPU no longer drags down the average. We now have anOW recommendation on all three larger Indonesian telco operators.

Thai voice pricing stable: Pricing stabilized post 3G delay, supportedby both falling CAPEX (encouraging network supply/demand balance)and stable to rising network OpEx per minute (reduces ability to cutpricing without negatively impacting margins). We are OW both AISand DTAC.

#2 operators are becoming more competitive (ISAT/DTAC): Smaller#3 operators around the region outperformed in 2010 due to reasonableoperating improvements as well as significant beta performance in risingmarkets (EXCL, IDEA). Second place operators could take over themantle in 2011 as we are seeing solid signs of operational turnaround.Number two players have also been relative laggards, and could seerotational buying within the sector.

3Q10 Key Takeaways

Indonesia growing faster than expectedIndonesian wireless net additions in 3Q10 beat our forecasts by 24%/27%/46%

for Telkomsel / Indosat / XL Axiata respectively, with the market on pace to add

2080ppts in wireless penetration this year (vs. 680 in Thailand and 900 in the

Philippines). Indonesia should continue to see the best subscriber growth in the

region despite hitting 100% penetration in 3Q10 as:

Pricing levels in Indonesia already reflect dual SIM and relatively

aggressive bundles;

Thai penetration is structurally held back by the high regulatory fees

paid by operators. These fees serve as a hefty tax on the industry,

which keeps pricing higher than necessary (we note that the Thai

operators are remarkably efficient, with network OpEx per minute on

8/8/2019 asean telco 20101110 jpm

6/96

6



par with Indian operators, which theoretically should enable them to

profitably serve large segments of the population at low price points),

which structurally limits penetration rates.

Thai wireless voice pricing stabilizedWe noted in our 2Q10 Deep Dive report that we were starting to see some

evidence of ARPM reductions and pricing pressure in Thailand in advance of the

scheduled 3G auctions. 3Q10 data points show renewed price stability post the

delay of 3G auctions, as well as stable to slightly rising Network OpEx per

minute and falling CAPEX levels. The latter two trends should contribute to

structural price stability over the next 12-18 months given the lack of spare

network capacity (network level supply and demand seem relatively well

balanced) and lack of pricing power (without impacting margins).

#2 operators becoming more competitive (ISAT/DTAC)

Investors generally outperformed in 2010 by holding smaller #3 operatorsaround the region, due to reasonable operating improvements as well as

significant beta performance in rising markets (EXCL, IDEA). 2011 could well

be the year of the second place operator in many of our markets. We are seeing

solid signs of operational turnaround, particularly at ISAT but also within

DTAC. Number two players in many of our markets have also been relative

laggards, and could see rotational buying both within the sector and from

investors looking for turn-around stories that have underperformed.

Wireless broadband beginning to factor in IndonesiaIndosat management has been more aggressive in telling the wireless broadband

story in Indonesia. That said, the numbers clearly show Telkomsel ramping

wireless broadband net additions over the past few quarters. We hold mixed

views on wireless broadband in Indonesia. Positive factors include its ability todrive incremental revenue growth and less SMS cannibalization then in markets

like the Philippines. Negative factors include potential CAPEX risk as voice

network quality is already quite low. Indonesia could begin to serve as a test

case for revenue, margin, and CAPEX impacts of wireless data in Developing

Asia.

It wasnt too early for Indosat

We noted in detail in our 2Q10 Deep Dive report that there were clear signs of

operational improvement for Indosat, but felt that it was too early to buy the stock as

we still saw significant scope for downgrades to street 2010 forecasts.

The stock price (up 25% since the 2Q10 print) has clearly begun to reflect twothings, in our view. First, the data points in the 3Q10 print continued to show that

the operational improvements we noted last quarter have accelerated. Network OpEx

per minute declines have moved from 11% in 1Q10 to 21% in 2Q10, now to 35% in

3Q10. This creates significant scope for upside margin surprise in 2011 on our

analysis. Secondly, the street has now downgraded 2010 expectations by 29% since

the 2Q10 print. The lower downside to 2010 street numbers and the larger upside to

2011 estimates combine to create a more attractive risk / reward.

The key question then becomes one of valuation. Indosat is currently trading at

19.7x 2011 street forecasts, and 15.8x JPM 2011 estimates. The latter puts it in line

8/8/2019 asean telco 20101110 jpm

7/96

7



with the rest of the Indonesian telecom stocks, but not at a significant discount. We

feel that Indosat will continue to trade at a multiple premium due to the large

estimate revision potential, as it has done for the past several months. We thereforeupgrade ISAT to an OW with a target price of Rp6,600, and a Total Return

expectation of 18%.

Upgrading TLKM and TEL on recent underperformance

We are also upgrading TLKM and TEL, both of which we downgraded on 13th

October 2010. Our downgrade was predicated on the fact that the stocks were

trading above their normal P/E trading range (although still in line with their

historical relationship with their underlying country index). As such, we felt that

upside was capped they could continue to go up if their home index kept rising (but

would likely underperform); and would likely fall if markets began to stall out given

their high valuation multiples. The stocks' correlation to EPS revisions had also

fundamentally broken down, while correlation to home index risen significantly.

TLKM and TELs valuation multiples have now moved back into their normal

trading ranges. We feel that the recent sell offs have been unwarranted by operating

fundamentals, and now see 20% and 18% total return potential for TLKM and TEL

respectively. We therefore upgrade both to an OW recommendation. Per the Figures

below, they are now trading within normal valuation ranges, and have begun to see

correlation move back to EPS revisions.

It is interesting to note that valuation has been a primary driver of Asia Telco stock

price performance over the past month (this is supported by the poor share price

performance of the telcos with high P/Es relative to their trading range). The figure

below shows Factor performance over the past month within the sectorMost

momentum factors returned negative performance, while most headline valuation

statistics were positive. This supports, in our view, our approach of targeting

earnings revision stories trading at mid cycle valuation multiples.

Investment Summary

This report forms part of an ongoing series of Deep Dive reports, designed to give a

comprehensive quarterly review of all operating and financial trends around South

East Asia. We will use this series to track ongoing structural shifts in the industry, as

well as relative execution within each of the operators in the space.

3Q10 saw our average margin of forecast error for revenue compress to 0.2% from

-2.9%, and EBITA forecast error compress from -1.25% to 0.9%. This is a trend we

obviously hope to continue as we try to further dial in our forecasting models and

attempt to derive more accurate forecasting methodologies.

Where we are - Operating / Financial trends

SubscribersThe largest surprise from the 3Q10 filings was the higher than forecast rate of

wireless subscriber growth in Indonesia. All three operators beat our forecasts (24%

/ 27% / 46% for TLKM / ISAT / EXCL respectively), and both ISAT and EXCL

showed positive rate of change. We believe that this upside growth surprise provides

some early evidence that high levels of rural wage growth across Developing Asia

can drive upside surprise to overall Telecom industry revenue, particularly in markets

where penetration is closing on 100%, as it is in Indonesia. High levels of penetration

help to drive this upside surprise, as incremental ARPUs are likely already at trough

levels (vs. China, for example, where incremental rural ARPUs are still significantly

lower than current averages, holding back overall revenue upside).

The rest of the region saw relatively stable net addition levels save PLDT which

stated that it completed a subscriber base clean up in the quarter.

Wireless dataThe data clearly shows the impact of several regional strategies:

1) It appears as though the cannibalization of unlimited SMS packages in thePhilippines is beginning to mitigate, with data as a percentage of revenue

stabilizing after falling over the past few quarters;

2) Indosat continues to have a large lead in terms of data as a percentage ofrevenue relative to the other Indonesian operators. We view this as a double

edged sword, as there is cannibalization risk similar to recent quarters in the

Philippines;

3) All three Thai operators continue to have regionally lagging data businesses(as a percentage of revenue). This should represent a significant

opportunity for future revenue growth in Thailand relative to the rest of the

region. We note that the reported numbers for Thailand are like for like

with operators in the rest of the region (i.e. they include SMS).

TLKM continues to drive this broadband subscriber growth through significant

ARPU reductions (3Q10 3G Broadband ARPU was USD9.0 vs. USD10.5 a quarter

prior and USD16.2 a year prior).

Revenue trends by marketThailand: DTAC continues to outgrow ADVANC, as the smaller operator is moreleveraged into a period of pricing stability. Both are showing positive rates of

change which help to underpin our positive view on this market.

Indonesia: The revenue growth gap between XL Axiata and Indosat continues to

narrow, while TLKM continues to lag.

Philippines: Globe continues to show mildly positive top line growth while PLDTremains in negative territory (with a falling rate of change).

Network OpEx per minute trendsThe most important statistic here, in our view, is the accelerating reduction in

network OpEx per minute for Indosat. This supports the trend that we noted in our

2Q10 Deep Dive report, and forms the primary reason for our upgrade ofrecommendation. We note that Telkomsel also saw good reductionsagain this is a

trend we will be watching closely as it has clear implications for a potential end to

pricing stability in Indonesia.

AIS and DTAC are now seeing very stable trends in network OpEx per minute,

supporting our case for price stability in Thailand.

EBITDA marginsPT Telkom and Globe are the only operators in the region to see continued margin

decline, with all other operators experiencing margin expansion. DTAC and Indosat

clearly saw the best improvements in rate of change, supporting our argument that

2011 could be the year of the #2 operators in South East Asia telco stocks.

EBITDA growthPT Telkom joins the Philippines in negative YoY EBITDA growth, hopefully it can

return to positive territory faster than PLDT and Globe, both showing negative trends

since 1Q10. DTAC and Indosat again showed the most positive rate of change

If our price target were achieved, AIS would be trading at a 2010E/11Eadjusted PER and EV/EBITDA of 15.8x/15.8x and 6.7x/6.9x. At itstarget price, AIS would be providing a FY10E/FY11E dividend yield of11.2%/6.2% with a Bt6 special in 2010. A well-funded new entranttaking one of the three 3G licenses on offer is the key risk to our targetprice.

Price target methodology

Revenue customer chart

Our PT is based on a sum of 1) potential upside/ (downside) toconsensus EPS vs. JPM EPS estimates and 2) our estimated multipleexpansion/(contraction) based on peak P/E multiple. Our peak P/Emultiple is based on the stocks historical trading range and expectedfuture business changes.

If our price target were achieved, DTAC would be trading at a2010E/11E adjusted PER and EV/EBITDA of 13.8x/12.8x and5.5x/5.3x. It would be providing a dividend yield of 4.8%/3.9%assuming the 50% historical payout of core profits is continued. A wellfunded new entrant taking one of the three 3G licenses on offer is thekey risk to our target price.
