StarHub reports net profit of S$319.7m due to higher revenue

Decrease in taxation and lower interest expenses were cited as other factors contributing to StarHub's 2.7 percent year-on-year growth in net profit.

Although broadband and sale of equipment revenue were lower at S$240.5m and S$92.6m respectively, the company saw higher revenue for its business units Mobile (S$1,094m), Pay TV (S$405.5m) and fixed network services (S$317.5m).

Lower voice, IDD and roaming usages offset increase in the number of subscribers to 939,000, causing post-paid mobile revenue to be flat. Meanwhile rise in pre-paid mobile subscribers to 979,000 and higher voice, data and IDD usages caused revenue from this sector to be up.

For 2010 Starhub expects to pay minimum dividend of S$0.05 per ordinary share per quarter, with operating revenue growth to be in single digit for the year.

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.
