KUALA LUMPUR: Now in the second year of its 5*5 strategy, Axiata Group Bhd
realised robust bottomline growth in the first quarter of 2025, underpinned by lower depreciation and amortisation, forex gains, lower net finance costs and a higher share of results from CelcomDigi.
In the quarter under review, the telco group reported a net profit of RM159.84mil, more than double the net profit of RM60.03mil in the year-ago quarter, bringing its earnings per share to 1.7 sen from 0.7 sen previously.
