Operating revenue decreased mainly due to a reduction in retail voice revenue due to lower usage and retail rates. Interconnection revenue
also decreased due to lower rates and volumes. These were partly offset by an increase in mobile revenue due to growth.

The categories of revenue were changed retrospectively to enhance the Group’s revenue disclosure. In the prior year subscriptions, Telkom mobile,
connections and other usage as well as traffic revenue streams were disclosed. This was reclassified to voice, data, interconnection and customer premises
equipment. |
