Telekom Malaysia Berhad announced its financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2026 (2Q 2026), recording a
6.8% increase in revenue to RM2.96 billion compared with the same period last year. The performance was supported by growth across all customer segments and continued traction in convergence, enterprise digital solutions and regional digital infrastructure.
The Group maintained resilient underlying performance while advancing its strategic growth priorities. Underlying Profit After Tax and Non-Controlling Interests (PATAMI) increased 4.6% to RM406.3 million in 2Q 2026, supported by resilient core operations and lower net financing costs.
On a reported basis, PATAMI stood at RM365.5 million after accounting for costs related to Prihatin and foreign-exchange movements.
For the first half of 2026 (1H 2026), revenue grew 4.8% to RM5.90 billion. Underlying PATAMI increased 7.0% to RM842.6 million compared with the same period last year, while the reported PATAMI stood at RM687.0 million. The performance remained encouraging despite significant year-on-year adjustments, including the previously announced 5G capacity write-down and other
one-off costs. These costs were specific to the period and non-recurring in nature.
Reflecting this positive performance and commitment to value creation, the Board declared a second interim dividend of 7.0 sen per share. This brings the total dividend for 1H 2026 to 13.5 sen per share, representing 75% of reported PATAMI, higher than the same period last year.
Meanwhile, Capital expenditure (CAPEX) stood at RM555.7 million in 1H 2026, representing 9.4% of revenue, with investments focused on growth initiatives, such as data centre, cloud, GPU-as-aService (GPUaas) and access to 5G. CAPEX is expected to catch up in the second half of the year as the Group accelerates planned investments, in line with its full-year guidance.
Datuk Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM Group Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our overall performance demonstrates how the PWR 2030 strategy is delivering tangible progress across the Group. For consumers, we are strengthening Unifi’s convergence proposition by delivering greater value across broadband, mobile and smart home AI solutions, while making premium content more accessible through Unifi TV, such as the FIFA World Cup 2026TM. For enterprises and the Government, we are progressing higher value, “nationally hosted” digital solutions, including cloud, cybersecurity, smart services and AI platforms. At the same time, we continue to strengthen our regional connectivity and data centre infrastructure to capture growing demand from hyperscalers and AI-driven workloads.”
