The stronger top line was driven by positive growth
across all key products - internet and multimedia, data, voice and other
telecommunications related services. The significant increase in net earnings
was primarily due to recognition of deferred tax income on unutilised tax
incentives in the current year period totaling RM176m.
Internet revenue rose by 21.7%, from RM941 million in
1H2011 to RM1.145 billion in 1H2012. This was due to the growth in broadband
customers, particularly UniFi. Data revenue increased by 5.6% to RM1.016
billion against RM962 million in 1H2011. Broadband customer base continued to
increase in the 2nd quarter of this year, with Streamyx and UniFi collectively
growing 9.9% YoY (384,024 customers as at 1H2012), and 1.9% QoQ to 2.011
million. In terms of coverage, as at 2Q2012, TM rolled out HSBB to close to
1.26 million premises covering 81 exchange areas, up from 1.22 million in
1Q2012.
Capex continued to be managed prudently with capex
spend/revenue ratio improving from 17.1% in 1H2011 to 16.3% in 1H2012. Total
capex spent for
1H2012 was RM785 million, which is lower in total against
1H2011. Cost as a percentage of revenue also improved from 89.5% to 88.3%.
HOLD : as the company remains the best proxy to increased
penetration for internet solution via Streamyx and its HSBB offering both in
retail and wholesale. Furthermore the company's dividend policy will continue
to provide a decent yield of btw 3-4%.
