a. Pension benefit cost

i. The Company

(a) Funded pension plan

(i) Defined pension benefit obligation

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for employees with permanent status prior to July 1, 2002. The plan is governed by the pension laws in Indonesia and managed by Telkom Pension Fund (“Dana Pensiun Telkom” or “Dapen”). Pension Fund Management in accordance with the Pension Fund and Investment Directives Regulations determined by the Founder is carried out by the Board of Management. The Board of Management is monitored by the Oversight Board consisting of representatives of the Company and participants.

The pension benefits are paid based on the participating employees’ latest basic salary at retirement and the number of years of their service. The participating employees contribute 18% (before March 2003: 8.4%) of their basic salaries to the pension fund. The Company made contributions to the pension fund amounted to Rp1,635 billion and Rp558 billion, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Risks exposed to defined benefit programs are risks such as asset volatility and changes in bond yields. The project liabilities are calculated using a discount rate that refers to the level of government bond yields, if the return on program assets is lower, it will result in a program deficit. A decrease in the yield of government bonds will increase the program liabilities, although this will be offset in part by an increase in the value of the program bonds held. The Company ensures that the investment position is set within the framework of asset-liability matching ("ALM") that has been formed to achieve long-term results that are in line with the liabilities in the defined benefit pension plan. Within the ALM framework,

the Company's objective is to adjust its pension assets and liabilities by investing in a well diversified portfolio to produce an optimal rate of return, taking into account the level of risk. Investment in the program has been well diversified, so that one investment's poor performance will not have a material impact on all asset groups.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2024, plan assets consist of:

Based on Dapen’s financial statements as of December 31, 2024, Dapen's FSR is below 105%. Therefore, the Company will contribute to the defined benefit pension plan.

who quit other than because of Disciplinary Punishment, Early Retirement, and at their own request and receive Pension Benefits of less than Rp1 million per month are given increase in monthly Pension Benefits to Rp1 million.

Indonesian mortality table	2019		2019		2019

(ii) Additional pension benefit obligation

Based on the Company Regulations issued on September 30, 2022, regarding the Regulations on Pension Funds from Telkom Pension Funds, the Company organizes a Defined Contribution Other Benefit Program (“PMLIP”) in the form of Additional Benefits. PMLIP participants are entitled to receive Periodic Pension Benefits every month in accordance with the provisions in the Pension Fund Regulations. Additional Benefit Funds are sourced from Employer Additional Benefit contributions and provision for investment development proceeds if the FSR is achieved above 102% and the rate of Return on Investment (“ROI”) is above the actuarial interest rate for funding. The employer's additional benefit contribution for each PMLIP participant is set at Rp120 thousand for a 12-month contribution period which is calculated proportionally according to the amount received.

The actuarial valuation for additional pension benefit was performed based on the measurement date as of December 31, 2022, with reports dated March 18, 2023 by KKA I Gde Eka Sarmaja, FSAI and Partner and as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 with report dated March 1, 2024 and March 19, 2025, respectively, by KKA I Gde Eka Sarmaja, FSAI and Partner.

Indonesian mortality table	2019		2019		2019

Additional pension benefit obligation has been set aside since 2018 according to the approval by the Oversight Board. As of December 31, 2024, there are no additional obligations set aside because the requirements for recognizing additional benefits as mentioned above have not been fulfilled.

(b) Unfunded pension plan

The Company sponsors unfunded defined benefit pension plans and a defined contribution pension plan for its employees. The defined contribution pension plan is provided to employees with permanent status hired on or after July 1, 2002. The plan is managed by Financial

Institutions Pension Fund (Dana Pensiun Lembaga Keuangan or “DPLK”). The Company’s contribution to DPLK is determined based on a certain percentage of the participants’ salaries and amounted to Rp50 billion and Rp52 billion for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Since 2007, the Company has provided pension benefit based on uniformization for both participants prior to and from April 20, 1992 effective for employees retiring beginning February 1, 2009. In 2010, the Company replaced the uniformization with Manfaat Pensiun Sekaligus (“MPS”). MPS is given to those employees reaching retirement age, upon death or upon becoming disabled starting from February 1, 2009.

The Company also provides benefits to employees during a pre-retirement period in which they are inactive for 6 months prior to their normal retirement age of 56 years, known as pre-retirement benefits (Masa Persiapan Pensiun or “MPP”). During the pre-retirement period, the employees still receive benefits provided to active employees, which include, but are not limited to, regular salary, health care, annual leave, bonus and other benefits. Since April 1, 2012, the employee is required to file a request for MPP and if the employee does not file the request, such employee is required to work until the retirement date.

ii. Telkomsel

Telkomsel provides a defined benefit pension plan to its employees. Under this plan, employees are entitled to pension benefits determined based on their latest basic salary or take-home pay (exclusive of functional allowances) and number of service years. The plan is managed by PT Asuransi Jiwasraya (Persero) (“Jiwasraya”), a state-owned life insurance company, through an annuity insurance contract. Until 2004, employees contributed 5% of their monthly salaries to the plan, while Telkomsel contributed the remaining part required under the plan. Beginning in 2005, Telkomsel has been taking responsibility for the full amount of the contributions.

On April 23, 2021, Telkomsel and Jiwasraya agreed to terminate the insurance program contract (as mentioned above) and entered into restructuring agreement. The agreement replaced the benefit plan from annuities to lumpsum benefit. Based on this agreement, both parties agreed to determine the Cash Value ("CV”) at the termination date which divided into CV for active participant and passive participant amounting to Rp857 billion and Rp73 billion, respectively.

There was a 5% cut from CV for active participant, hence the 95% of Rp857 billion (or equal to Rp814 billion) plus Rp73 billion will be the amount that subsequently taken over by PT Asuransi Jiwa IFG (“IFG Life”) when the agreement with IFG Life become effective and accordingly, the restructuring agreement will be terminated. As of November 30, 2023, the cash fund had been completely taken over by IFG Life with no changes was applied to the terms of the plan and cash value being transferred at the transfer date, and accordingly, the restructuring agreement was terminated.

On June 27, 2023, the Company and Telkomsel signed an agreement regarding Dapen to appoint Telkomsel as a Partner of the Company as the sole Founder, which resulted in rights and obligations to Telkomsel as governed in the Pension Fund Agreement effective from the business transfer of IndiHome consumer business segment to Telkomsel.

Effective from the business transfer of IndiHome consumer business segment to Telkomsel, Telkomsel sponsors a defined benefit pension plan for transferring employees hired prior to July 1, 2002. The plan is governed by the pension laws in Indonesia and managed by Dapen. Dapen is managed in accordance with the Pension Fund and Investment Directives Regulations, which is determined by the Company as the Founder and is carried out by the Board of Management. The Board of Management is monitored by the Oversight Board, appointed by the Founder.

The pension benefits are paid based on the participating employee’s latest basic salary at retirement and the number of years of their service. The participating employees contribute 18% of their basic salaries to the pension fund. Telkomsel’s contribution to the pension fund for the year ended December 31, 2024 was amounting to Rp18 billion (2023: Rp21 billion).

The actuarial valuation for the defined benefit pension plan was performed based on the measurement date as of December 31, 2022, with reports dated February 28, 2023 by KKA Halim and Partner, an independent actuary in association with Milliman and as of December 31, 2023 and 2024 with report dated March 5, 2024 and March 6, 2025, respectively, by KKA Halim and Partner, an independent actuary in association with Milliman.

The sensitivity analysis was determined based on a method that extrapolates the impact on DBO as a result of reasonable changes in key assumptions occurring at the end of the reporting period.

The sensitivity results above determine the individual impact on the Plan’s DBO at the end of the year. In reality, the Plan is subject to multiple external experience items which may move the DBO in similar or opposite directions, and the Plan’s sensitivity to such changes can vary over time.

There are no changes in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis from the previous period.
