SINGAPORE, 19 October 2015 – M1 Limited (M1) today announced the unaudited group financial results for the nine months ended 30 September 2015.
For the nine months ended 30 September 2015, net profit after tax increased 2.8% year-on-year to S$134.9 million, on the back of service revenue of S$613.1 million. Mobile data revenue rose 10.2% percentage points year-on-year to 44.7% of service revenue.
Fixed services revenue grew by 18.9% to S$61.1million for the nine months of 2015 and now accounts for 10.0% of service revenue. The growth was mainly driven by higher contribution from the corporate segment.
