Reporting Philosophy
This is Axiata Group Berhad’s (“Axiata” or “the Group”) second
Integrated Annual Report (“IAR”), which has been prepared
according to the International Integrated Reporting Council’s
(“IIRC”) International <IR> Framework. In using the integrated
reporting approach, we aim to provide our stakeholders with
a concise yet comprehensive account of our business and
strategies, and demonstrate how value is created and shared.
Scope and Boundary
Axiata’s 2018 IAR extends beyond financial reporting and
includes non-financial performance, opportunities, risks and
outcomes attributed to or associated with our key stakeholders,
all of which have a significant influence on our ability to create
value.
The 2018 IAR covers the period from 1 January 2018 to
31 December 2018 and builds on our previous publications.
The report covers the primary activities of the Group, namely
our three core business pillars of Digital Telco, Digital Businesses
and Infrastructure.
Assurance
Our Annual Financial Statements (“AFS”) have been audited as
fully disclosed in the Statutory Annual Financial Report 2018.
Limited assurance has been provided on selected disclosure(s)
within our Sustainability and National Contribution Report
(“SNCR”) 2018. Both of those processes make up our 2018 IAR,
which contains both financial and non-financial indicators.
Approval by the Board
The Board of Directors (“Board”) has applied its collective mind
in preparing and presenting Axiata’s IAR 2018 as guided by the
IIRC’s International <IR> Framework. The Board acknowledges
its responsibility in ensuring the integrity of this report, through
good governance practices and internal reporting procedures.
Materiality
We have conducted our materiality assessment in line with Bursa
Malaysia Securities Berhad’s (“Bursa”) Listing Requirements.
We have sought our stakeholders’ input in addition to the
business’ perspectives. These include risks identified through our
risk management framework in determining the material issues
which impact our ability to create value over the short, medium
and long-term. Our strategic responses to these material issues
are presented throughout this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements characterised
by the use of words and phrases such as “might”, “forecast”,
“anticipate”, “project”, “may”, “believe”, “predict”, “expect”,
“continue”, “will”, “estimate”, “target” and other similar
expressions. As our business operates in a perpetually shifting
and changing environment, it is subject to uncertainties that
could cause actual results to differ from those reflected in the
forward-looking statements.

Information on Exclusions
Our disclosure appetite guides the limitations of information

and negative information, and information withheld based on
competitive advantage. Requirements of the <IR> International
Framework have not been excluded due to the unavailability of
reliable information or specific legal prohibitions.
