Earnings Before Interest and Tax improved 17.7% Q-Q (+10.9% Y-Y) to RM771 million, while Profit After Tax (PAT) grew 5.8% Q-Q but down -4.1% Y-Y) to RM440 million. The company recorded RM2.28 billion Service Revenue for the quarter.

Based on the earnings report, consumer Postpaid business grew (+0.7% Q-Q) on the back of growth in subscribers (+92K Q-Q), from comprehensive market offers resulting in higher take-up on convergence and family lines, a higher device contracting base, and value accretive Prepaid-to-Postpaid migration. The consumer Prepaid business declined (-1.4% Q-Q), CDB said this was due to a decreased subscriber base (-105K QQ) arising from dual-SIM consolidation and a strategic decision to reduce reliance on one-time rotational SIM segment. However, it noted that impact of this rationalisation is stabilising, with subscriber losses at a notably lower rate than in previous quarters.
根據收益報告，消費者後付費業務增長（環比增長0.7％），這要歸因於用戶增長（環比增長9.2萬），這要歸因於全面的市場報價導致融合和家族產品線的使用率增加，設備合同基礎的擴大，以及從預付費到後付費的增值遷移。消費者預付費業務下降（環比下降1.4％），國開行表示，這是由於雙卡整合導致用戶群減少（-10.5萬QQ），以及減少對一次性輪換SIM卡細分市場的依賴的戰略決策。但是，它指出，這種合理化的影響正在穩定下來，用戶流失率明顯低於前幾個季度。
