Financial Review
For financial year ended 31 December 2016, despite facing a challenging year, we are pleased to report that we achieved good results and delivered earnings in line with guidance. Service revenue stood at RM8,455 million, relatively stable year-on-year. High demand for data and unmatched customer experience continued to drive positive financial and operational progress.
We saw solid performance in mobile data revenue, up 27% year-on-year. This was driven by continuous strong uptake of mobile Internet. Among our 11 million revenue generating subscriptions (“RGS”), 74% are mobile Internet users and 76% are smartphone users.
