10.  PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

The details of property and equipment are as follows:

 

 

 

 

Refer to Note 31 for details of related party transactions.

a.    Gain on disposal or sale of property and equipment

 

b.    Asset impairment

(i)   As of December 31, 2016 and 2017, the CGUs that independently generate cash inflows were fixed wireline, cellular and others.

In 2014, the Company decided to cease its fixed wireless business no later than December 14, 2015. The Company assessed the recoverable amount to be Rp549 billion and determined that the assets for fixed wireless CGU were further impaired by Rp805 billion. The recoverable amount has been determined based on VIU calculation using the most recent cash flows projection approved by management. The cash flows projection included cash inflows from the continuing use of the assets during the remaining service period and projected net cash flows to be received for the disposal of the assets for fixed wireless CGU at the end of service period. Projected net cash flows to be received for the disposal of the assets were determined based on cost approach, adjusted for physical, technological and economic obsolescence. Management applied a pre-tax discount rate of 13.5% derived from the Company’s post-tax weighted average cost of capital and benchmarked to externally available data. In addition, management also applied technological and economic obsolescence rate of 30% based on the Company’s internal data, due to the lack of comparable market data because of the nature of the assets. The determination of VIU calculation is most sensitive to the technological and economic obsolescence rate assumption. An increase in technological and economic obsolescence rate to 40% would result in a further impairment of Rp70 billion.

Loss on impairment of assets is recognized as part of “Depreciation and Amortization” in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

In connection with the restructuring of fixed wireless business (Note 33c.i), the Company accelerated the depreciation of its fixed wireless assets. As of December 31, 2015, all of the Company’s fixed wireless assets have been fully depreciated.

In 2016 and 2017, the Company derecognized the fixed wireless asset which fully depreciated with acquisition cost of Rp5,203 billion and Rp3,193 billion, respectively.

(ii)   Management believes that there is no indication of impairment in the assets of other CGUs as of December 31, 2016 and 2017.

Accordingly, Telkomsel accelerated the depreciation of such equipment units. The impact of the accelerated depreciation was an increase in the depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 amounting to Rp459 billion. This modernization program will decrease profit before income tax in 2018 amounting to Rp47 billion.

In 2014, the useful lives of Telkomsel’s buildings and transmissions were changed from 20 years to 40 years, and from 10 years to 15 and 20 years, respectively, to reflect the current economic lives of the buildings and the transmissions. The impact of reduction in depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 amounting to Rp198 billion. The impact of the changes in the estimated useful lives of the buildings and transmissions will increase the profit before income tax in 2018 amounting to Rp135 billion.
