M1 rings up S$42.8m profit

Its total customer base is now up to almost 2m.

Operating revenue for the first half of 2011 at S$503 million increased 6.5% year-on-year due to higher service revenue and handset sales. Service revenue benefited from the growth in mobile customer base, as well as fixed services.

Non-voice services contributed to 35.2% of service revenue, up from 30.8% a year ago, driven by growth in the mobile broadband and smartphone customer base.

During the second quarter, M1 added 34,000 customers, bringing its total customer base to 1.968 million as at 30 June 2011. Monthly postpaid churn remained stable at 1.2% in the latest quarter.

M1’s Board of Directors has declared an interim dividend of 6.6 cents per share.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
