PETALING JAYA: CelcomDigi Bhd posted RM3.125 billion revenue for the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2025 (Q3’25).
Service revenue increased 1.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM2.728 billion, driven by good performance across its core segments of postpaid, prepaid, home and fibre, and enterprise solutions, reflecting the company’s effective market execution and continued focus on delivering value to customers.
Postpaid revenue rose 4.2% y-o-y to RM1.091 billion, supported by a 300,000 (+5.3% y-o-y) increase in high-value subscribers and continued migration to convergence plans. Prepaid revenue was stable at RM1.051 billion (+0.1% q-o-q), despite a slightly lower subscriber base (-221K q-o-q), from effective base management and a focus on retaining quality subscribers.
Home and fibre revenue increased 40.8% y-o-y to RM69 million, marking the eighth consecutive quarter of subscriber growth (+100,000, +62.5% y-o-y).
Enterprise solutions revenue climbed 10.4% y-o-y, underpinned by robust demand for connectivity, ICT and cybersecurity solutions, alongside a steady flow of enterprise contract wins. Enterprise mobile revenue lowered -12.7% y-o-y, impacted by reduction in bulk SMS volume and one-time MFRS adjustments.
During the quarter, disciplined cost management helped mitigate the impact of higher provision for doubtful debts, cost of goods sold, depreciation and amortisation and a higher effective tax rate.
As a result, earnings before interest and tax moderated 16% y-o-y to RM648 million, while profit after tax eased 20.5% y-o-y to RM350 million, reflecting the company’s continued focus on long-term financial resilience amid ongoing investments.
CelcomDigi declared a third interim dividend of 3.6 sen per share.
The company closed the quarter with a total of 20.5 million subscribers.
As of end-September 2025, CelcomDigi’s network integration and modernisation reached over 90% completion, providing customers with enhanced service quality on the newly upgraded CelcomDigi intelligent network.
As a flow-through of cost efficiencies from all integration initiatives, the company remains on track to deliver steady-state annualised cost savings of RM700 million to RM800 million post-2027.
