profitability and cash flow through cost efficiency.

"We are targeting an EBITDA margin of more than 80% in this medium-term through 
a series of programs that facilitate telecommunication operators in Indonesia 
to expand the reach using the collocation of Mitratel towers. We have prepared 
well-rounded solutions with attractive a business scheme for all 
telecommunication operators namely by bundling solutions such as tower,

especially outside Java," concluded Theodorus.
