KUALA LUMPUR: CelcomDigi Bhd
said it is on track to achieving its FY26 financial guidance as it registered service revenue growth across its postpaid, home and fibre and enterprise solutions.
The telco said service revenue in 2QFY26 increased 1.4% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM2.73bil, bringing 1HFY26 service revenue 1.5% higher y-o-y to RM5.43bil.
In 2QFY26, CelcomDigi's net profit contracted to RM398mil from RM439mil in 2QFY25, on the back of flattish revenue of RM3.19bil against RM3.18bil in the year-ago quarter.
It attributed the weaker bottomline to lower earnings before interest and tax and higher finance costs.
For 1HFY26, net profit came to RM816mil against RM823mil in the year-ago quarter, while revenue was nearly unchanged y-o-y at RM6.39bil.
The board of directors declared a second interim dividend of 3.4 sen per share, with entitlement date of Sept 11, 2026, and payment date of Sept 29, 2026.
According to CelcomDigi CEO Albern Murty, the group's focus is centred on sustainable growth, operational efficiency, and long-term value creation.
"We are delivering our Operational Excellence programmes as planned, generating tangible savings and improving how we operate.This enables us to continue investing in priority areas, while sustaining healthy service revenue growth.
"As we move beyond integration, we remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and strategic investments in our network, digital capabilities, and customer experience.”
