Digi delivered a resilient quarter, underpinned by efficient operations and strong execution of strategic priorities. The company recorded RM1,343 million service revenue, sustained by improved momentum in postpaid and core prepaid segments.
EBITDA was at RM788 million or a margin of 49.7%, while profit after tax (PAT) reduced by 2.5% Y-Y to RM313 million.
In the quarter under review, Digi invested RM170 million Capex in network capacity enhancements and digitalisation of operations, as part of the company’s priority to deliver quality internet experience to its customers to meet rising data consumption. Monthly average data usage now stands at 22.4GB per user.
To further strengthen its network, Digi delivered 100% of its targets for new 4G sites rollout and site upgrades under the Jalinan Digital Negara (JENDELA) plan in the quarter. The process to gradually shut down 3G network is progressing well with less than 300,000 3G-only subscribers, against a growing internet subscribers base of 9.0 million.
Digi’s 4G LTE and LTE-A network coverage now serves 92% and 75% of the population nationwide respectively, alongside an extensive fibre network of more than 10,000 KM.
Additionally, Digi’s network performance has been recognised by several reputable independent global observers as the best in download speed for five consecutive quarters, cementing its position as Malaysia’s fastest and most consistent network.
Customers experienced Digi’s strengthened network at the best value through its postpaid and prepaid offers, as the company registered postpaid revenue at RM633 million, while prepaid revenue stood at RM645 million.
“We continue to invest and deliver on our network experience to better serve our customers while sustaining efforts to drive societal recovery,” says Albern Murty, CEO of Digi.
