Corporate Highlights
 
Axiata: XL shows sequential improvement                                 Market Perform
Company Update                
-          67%-subsidiary, XL Axiata (XL), posted 9MFY11 core net profit of Rp2.14bn (+1.3% yoy), representing only 67% and 62% of our and consensus full-year estimates respectively.
-          The key variance was a one-off severance payment amounting to Rp213bn in 3Q for outsourcing of XL's managed network services. Excluding this one-off provision, XL would have recorded 9MFY11 net profit of Rp2.35bn (+11% yoy). This would have been in line with our but still lower than consensus expectations.

The key variance was higher IPP energy payments and fuel costs due to gas supply curtailment.
