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.

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.

MAYBANK ISLAMIC AND TM FORGE PARTNERSHIP TO DELIVER FIRST ISLAMIC BANKING AS A SERVICE SOLUTION POWERED BY 5G
KUALA LUMPUR, 15 FEBRUARY 2024: Maybank Islamic Berhad and TM, the nation’s leaders in Islamic banking and telecommunications, have forged a partnership to deliver the country’s first Islamic Banking as a Service (BaaS) solution powered by 5G. Designed for consumers and micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), this collaboration combines the best of Maybank Islamic’s diverse financial services and TM’s recognised Uni5G Postpaid Biz mobile packages, creating seamless access and experiences for today’s digital customers. With local entrepreneurs and MSMEs to gain the most, Maybank Islamic and Unifi Business, TM’s digital business solutions arm, today launched their inaugural ‘Go Niaga’, a mobile business banking bundle to help businesses manage finances, improve incomes and offer digital payment options powered by secure 5G connectivity and networks. The bundle will address current market gaps among this segment, and enable businesses to better participate in e-Commerce and expand their customer reach. Dato’ Mohamed Rafique Merican, Maybank Islamic’s CEO, said, “This partnership between Malaysia's largest telecommunications company and the country's leading Islamic banking institution opens up unique opportunities for us in delivering Islamic banking services to customers. This partnership is a significant step forward in financial inclusion. By embedding Maybank Islamic’s BaaS solutions within Unifi Business’ platforms, previously unbanked or underbanked individuals and businesses will gain access to Maybank’s essential financial services and 5G mobile connectivity through TM’s cutting-edge technologies.” “While the technology originates from the BaaS concept, what makes it unique is its adherence to Islamic principles, making it the pioneering example of its kind in Malaysia. It combines modern technology with the ethical requirements of Islamic finance, providing innovative and faith-based financial services,” he said. Shanti Jusnita Johari, Chief Commercial Officer for Consumer Strategy & Business at Unifi, said, “MSMEs are a key growth engine for the nation’s economy. At present, this segment accounts for nearly 38% of Malaysia’s GDP, yet their potential is often dimmed by limited access to digital tools and financial services. This is even more apparent among underserved segments, micro and small businesses who face the most challenges in accessing financial services and digital innovations that are necessary to elevate their lives and livelihoods. “As a trusted partner to more than 400,000 MSMEs across the nation, we believe this partnership is a timely intervention to effectively address these challenges and help local businesses seize the opportunities of the digital economy. This partnership is the next milestone in our vision to become a digital powerhouse by 2030 and our mission to power a Digital Malaysia, improving businesses and communities through technology, and paving the way for a digitally inclusive nation,” Shanti shared. Highlights of Maybank Islamic and Unifi Business’ Go Niaga offering As the first bundle from Maybank Islamic and Unifi Business’ joint collaboration, the Go Niaga mobile business banking bundle aims to address the essential banking needs of local entrepreneurs and MSMEs. To help local businesses streamline their operations, the Go Niaga bundle offers: a) A lower minimum deposit of only RM 100 for customers to open an SME First Account-i – allowing them to clearly segregate their personal and business accounts that will help improve their long term credit rating. b) Payment acceptance facilities through Maybank Islamic’s QRPay Biz, and Tap2Phone – enabling cloud POS via mobile devices to facilitate digital / card payments. c) Credit Facilities including Maybank Islamic’s SME Digital Financing: Aspirasi Wanita Programme – providing more entrepreneurs access to funds that could help them stabilise and expand their business. d) Uni5G Postpaid Biz 39, Uni5G Postpaid Biz 55 and Uni5G Postpaid Biz 89 mobile plans bundled with free 5G mobile devices – ensuring secure access to financial services anywhere, anytime and bringing 5G capabilities to more communities. e) Cash rebates for Unifi Mobile bills when customers sign up and activate Maybank Tap2Phone merchant payment facility bundled with Uni5G Postpaid Biz packages.
