KUALA LUMPUR, 2 November 2023 – TM reaffirms its commitment to integrity, corporate governance, and ethical business practices as it celebrates TM Integrity Day 2023 (TMID). This annual event serves as a platform to reinforce its core values among Warga TM, business partners and its supply chain ecosystem.
The theme ‘Uncompromising Integrity’ was chosen to underscore TM's dedication to upholding the highest standards of compliance and ethics in all aspects of its operations. Through these principles, TM continues to strengthen its corporate governance and culture of responsible business conduct.
The event featured a forum titled “Strengthening Integrity & Governance” with insights from Tan Sri Abu Kassim Bin Mohamed, Chairman of the Advisory Board of the National Centre for Financial Crime Prevention, and Datuk Dr. Anis Yusal Bin Yusoff, Director of the Centre for Leadership and Professional Development (UM Lead). The forum was moderated by Nik Azli Bin Abu Zahar, Group General Counsel of TM. In addition to the forum, various programmes were organised, including a theatre performance by Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (ASWARA).
Dato’ Zainal Abidin Bin Putih, Chairman of TM, emphasised in his launching speech, “High integrity and efficient governance form the bedrock of any organisation and are essential for building trust among stakeholders. Key principles such as transparency, accountability, fairness, and responsibility in delivering services to customers must be upheld to ensure the sustainability of the organisation.”
He added, “Beyond qualifications and skills, another essential attribute that every individual should possess is Integrity. The absence of these qualities will not only harm the individual but also have a detrimental impact on the company's performance and reputation”.
The event was broadcasted live to facilitate broader participation from Warga TM and TM’s business partners virtually. TM continues to foster a culture of integrity, accountability, and ethical conduct, ensuring a more sustainable future for all stakeholders.

These results underscore TM’s resilience in an increasingly dynamic and competitive market. The Group’s operating revenue recorded a positive trajectory, increasing 0.2% year-on-year (YoY) to RM11.71 billion, while EBIT strengthened by 11.3%, from RM2.09 billion to RM2.33 billion. The EBIT performance exceeded the Group’s market guidance, driven primarily by higher yield products and services, lower operating costs from improved efficiency, and lower depreciation and amortisation costs. Meanwhile, PATAMI increased 7.8% from RM1.87 billion to RM2.02 billion contributed by improved operating profits, lower net finance costs, and utilisation of remaining one-off tax adjustments. The overall encouraging performance is supported by a robust balance sheet and healthy cash reserves, showcasing TM’s strong operational fundamentals and financial position. TM continued to invest strategically in network infrastructure, international submarine cables and data centres in FY2024. Its total capital expenditure (CAPEX) amounted to RM1.59 billion, representing 13.6% of total revenue – well within its guidance range. In line with its robust financial performance, the Group has declared a 2nd Interim Dividend of 12.5 Sen per Share and RM230.3 million Special Dividend. The Total Dividend for FY2024, including the Interim Dividend declared in August 2024 stands at 31 sen per share, reaffirming TM’s commitment towards value creation and sustainable returns for shareholders. Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM Group Chief Executive Officer said, “TM’s performance in 2024 reflects our ability to navigate a highly competitive market, both domestically and internationally, while staying true to our core purpose of creating value for all stakeholders. This achievement demonstrates our execution capabilities and commitment to drive operational efficiencies, while advancing Malaysia’s digital agenda. “For instance, our Unifi UniVerse, Malaysia's best convergence offering, continued to delight customers and drive steady growth in our fixed broadband subscriber base, solidifying our position as the nation’s convergence champion with the only quad-play services. Our success is further bolstered by strategic collaborations with government agencies and enterprises, accelerating digital transformation through solutions such as Smart Services, Sovereign Cloud, and Cybersecurity. In addition, we expanded our core digital infrastructure, including nationwide fibre network, broadband coverage, 5G mobile backhaul, data centres and submarine cables - all critical to foster digital inclusivity. This reinforces TM’s role as the digital catalyst connecting Malaysia to the world and the world to Malaysia. “In essence, our core businesses remain resilient, sustaining positive revenue trajectory amidst heightened competitive pressure and market dynamics. At the same time, our internal efficiencies remain robust as evident in our strong EBIT and PATAMI, providing a solid foundation and strategic edge to propel TM forward. This has poised us to better capitalise emerging opportunities such as hyperconnected data centres, AI, and GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) which are among the new growth areas for TM. These efforts will not only drive us closer to our aspiration of becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030 but also position Malaysia as the digital hub for ASEAN,” Amar concluded. TM’s 2025 outlook is positive and underpinned by these priorities. The Group’s market guidance reflects confidence in sustained growth and operational excellence, reinforcing long-term value creation. 2025 Market Guidance: Revenue Growth Low single digit increase EBIT Similar level to 2024 CAPEX / Revenue Between 14% - 16% Lines of Businesses (LOBs) Performance B2C Strengthens Position as the Market Leader in Converged Services Our B2C segment (Unifi) reinforced its position as Malaysia’s convergence champion, recording a 1.5% increase in fixed broadband subscribers to 3.179 million in FY2024.
