PETALING JAYA: CelcomDigi Bhd
will continue to focus on strengthening Malaysia’s digital ecosystem through targeted infrastructure investments, digital innovation and the adoption of new technologies.
In its annual report, the telecommunication giant said the country’s strong economic growth last year was backed by resilient domestic demand, stable labour conditions and increased investment in high-value sectors.
For this year, CelcomDigi said private consumption is expected to remain the lead growth driver, supported by wage adjustments, targeted subsidies, and tourism activities.
“Growth will be driven by robust investment in high value sectors, including artificial intelligence, renewable energy, the digital economy, 5G, green technologies, and continued improvement in exports.
“However, the external outlook remains subject to global trade uncertainty, geopolitical tensions, and volatility in external demand,” the telco said.
As for the market, CelcomDigi said it was highly saturated with 150% mobile penetration and more than 10 operators which has created intense pricing pressure.
With that, CelcomDigi said it will continue leveraging precision analytics to enhance revenue quality, scale value-added services and strengthen customer engagement.
“There will be a continued nationwide network upgrade to boost 4G and 5G coverage to 98% with average download speed of more than 80mbps while enhancing overall user experience,” it said.
Meanwhile, CelcomDigi chief executive officer Albern Murty said the telco’s core segments have continued to register solid growth driven by increased uptake of higher-value offerings.
“Postpaid and home and fibre revenues grew by 4.1% and 40.2% respectively, while enterprise solutions grew 24.3%, underscoring strong demand for technology-led services. These outcomes give us confidence that our strategy and market execution are delivering the right results across the business,” he said.
The group posted a profit of RM1.53bil for financial year 2025 (FY25), higher than the profit registered for FY24 which was RM1.38bil. The increase in profit for FY25 was supported by RM1.87bil in capital expenditure avoidance from integration efforts.
Revenue stood at RM12.96bil for the period, slightly higher than the RM12.69bil posted in FY24.
