M1's wireless post-paid revenue per user dipped 1% to $61.8

Data profitability targeted ahead.

According to Nomura, it was a decent 3Q for M1 with 5% y-y revenue growth, 11% y-y EBITDA growth and 19% NPAT growth y-y.

Nomura noted that fibre ARPUs fell 2% to SGD46, but the focus and questions were mainly on the wireless post-paid ARPUs, which fell 1% q-q to SGD61.8.

Here's more from Nomura:

Management again attributed this to falling roaming rates (~12% of total still) and some seasonality. About 32% of M1’s postpaid subs are on tiered data plans, and only 16% are exceeding data bundles.

This will likely remain a focus for M1 (and other operators as well), to improve data profitability.

It’s early days with its MiBox rollout and signing up 10k subs remains critical for the company to be eligible for content cross carriage, which management believes could be achieved by mid-2014.

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.
