Notes:
  • Includes the effects from adoption of SFRS(I) 16, Leases, from 1 April 2019 on a prospective basis.
  • ‘Currency translation reserve’ relates mainly to the translation of the net assets of foreign subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of the Group denominated mainly in Australian Dollar, Indian Rupee, Indonesian Rupiah, Philippine Peso, Thai Baht and United States Dollar.

The Group’s financial position remains healthy.

Total assets were stable with recognition of right-of-use assets under the new lease accounting standard, offset by reduction in the carrying value of joint ventures due mainly to higher losses at Airtel. Total liabilities increased on borrowings and inclusion of lease liabilities under the new lease accounting standard.    

Currency translation losses increased due mainly to translation losses for Optus, Telkomsel and Airtel partly mitigated by translation gains for the Group’s US Dollar denominated subsidiaries.
