TM’s FY12 earnings up 6.1% to RM1.26b, revenue nearly RM10b (Update)


KUALA LUMPUR: Telekom Malaysia Bhd's earnings rose 6.1% to RM1.26bil in the financial year ended Dec 31, 2012 from RM1.19bil in FY11 due to higher revenue, recognition of deferred tax income and unrealised forex gain.

TM said on Wednesday, normalised profit after tax and minority interest, excluding mainly the gain on deferred tax income and unrealised forex gain, stood at RM881.0mil, an increase of 38.8% against RM634.8mil in 2011.

It attributed this to higher revenue and lower tax expense.

TM's revenue rose 9% to RM9.99bil from RM9.15bil in 2011, outstripping industry growth and highest since the demerger in 2008.

"The improved performance was mainly driven by healthy growth across all key products - Internet and multimedia, particularly UniFi, higher data, and other services.

"Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for FY2012 stood at RM3.23bil, which is higher by 4.7% compared to FY2011 on the back of higher operating revenue. Normalised EBITDA margin was 32% in line with headline key performance indicators (KPIs)," TM said.

It proposed dividend of 12.2 sen per share.

As for its fourth quarter, its earnings fell 39.2% to RM363.24mil in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2012 from RM598.30mil a year ago.

Revenue increased by 12.8% to RM2.81bil from RM2.447bil. Earnings per share were 10.2 sen compared with 16.7 sen.

However, it performed better when compared with the third quarter.

TM's revenue increased by 18.3% from RM2.38 bil to RM2.81bil while EBITDA improved 19.8% on-quarter from RM751.5mil.

“On a normalised basis, EBITDA increased by 12.2% on-quarter to RM855.2mil from RM762.3mil in 3Q2012. PATAMI grew by 20.5% on-quarter to RM363.2mil. Normalised PATAMI also showed improvement of 55.0% on-quarter to RM288.4mil from RM186.1mil in the preceding quarter of 2012.

How much for the total cost of exchange telephone cable ?
As ADSL is old technology, the copper wire play a big role for transmission speed and stability. That the reason although ADSL able to go up to 20Mb/s, but they opt for fiber optic to offer high speed broadband, as it more stable.

Hi Ahn3hn3h,
you got a good point. Anyway, most provider will focus on city / urban area. As higher population density and more potential subscribers, also, better income. For rural area, or sub-urban, they will be less emphasis, except to fulfill government requirement, or other reasons.

So, what to do... I stay in suburb, so, having this problem too... LOL!

It might due to your Wireless setting. Try set it to use only 802.11g only and see how it perform. Also, test your wireless connection with direct point of view, and other devices like smartphone.

I never said Georgetown and Komtar is rural / suburb area. I guess the reason Unifi not available there due to Bayan Baru, or southern part are bigger market. Enable 1 condo / apartment with 1 fiber optic, and the rest will handle by ADSL, no need to pull fiber optic to every single house, as most building have their own phone / ADSL exchange hub.

Regarding your statement on rich/poor, are you mean all richman condo sure have unifi enable? Do you have data to show that ?

ikengkai: I guess the reason Unifi not available there due to Bayan Baru, or southern part are bigger market.
Ahn3hn3h: You must be out of your mind to claim that Bayan Baru and mainland have bigger markets than Georgetown and Batu Feringghi beach strip.

Which part of statement mention about mainland?


Ahn3hn3h: Can I ask you again if people could own million dollar condos along the beach strip cannot afford UniFi?

You own a million dollar house / condos, and you must own a luxury car? And for those who rich, they can go for wireless broadband too, why only Unifi? They even can go for satellite broadband, since they are rich.

Look at the penetration of broadband data, no Unifi also can have other broadband, there are multiple choices. May be you are those that gone crazy because unifi not available at your area, but you still can go for other option. In one day, if Unifi restructure their pricing and less competitive, would you still so desperate to go for it?

I tried search for your comment in lowyat forum, look like you are hatred for unifi due to not available in your million dollar condo. My suggestion: move your house, or pull your own fiber cable. Since you are rich, buy 51% share of Telekom and make it route to your house next day.

Please behave your emotion and be mature. Call to Telekom ask for their plan, write to MCMC for feedback. Attack people in forum won't get you anything.

Agree with you.

Do ADSL modem need support IPv6 to enable it on Win7 pc?

Hi,
Did your Aztech DSL5008EN support ADSL2+ protocol?
For your Innocom modem, if the 404 happen, try to connect to your wifi from smartphone or other device and see the internet connection still valid, if valid, it might be your PC / USB wifi dongle thing.
