M1’s net profit up 1.5% to $178.5m in 2015

Thanks to higher handset sales.

Listed telecommunications company M1 reported that its net profit rose 1.5% to $178.5m in FY15, on back of a 7.5% increase in operating revenue to $1.16 billion.

The group reported higher revenue from mobile data usage. Mobile data revenue made up 46.3% of the company’s service revenue last year, up 10.7 percentage points from a year ago.

Meanwhile, fixed services revenue for FY2015 grew 21.7% to $85.9 million and now accounts for 10.4% of service revenue. The growth was mainly driven by a larger residential customer base and new contracts secured in the corporate segment.

Postpaid customer base increased 46,000 year-on-year to 1.20 million, while prepaid customer base grew 30,000 to 733,000. During the year, the fibre customer base grew 25,000 to 128,000.

M1 will pay out a final dividend of 8.3 cents per share, taking full year payout to a total of 15.3 cents per share.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
