For the first half of 2025 (1H 2025), revenue stood at RM5.62 billion versus RM5.74 billion a year earlier, as a result of intensely competitive market. Meanwhile, the Group registered EBIT of RM1.19 billion, down 5.8% compared to corresponding period last year, mainly due to forex losses.

The Board has declared an interim dividend of 12.5 sen per share, amounting to RM479.7 million for the financial year 2025, reaffirming its commitment to delivering sustainable returns to shareholders. 1H 2025 Segment Highlights Business to Consumer (B2C): Unifi registered steady revenue performance and an increase in fixed broadband subscribers driven by Unifi UniVerse convergence offerings, fuelled by content and mobile take up. Its diverse range of device bundles continued to attract strong demands from various segments. Meanwhile, as the preferred partner to more than 400,000 MSMEs nationwide, Unifi Business segment remained a key driver, with tailored digital solutions that promote digital inclusivity. Business to Business (B2B): TM One revenue was softer as several major projects and sizeable deals are expected to be completed in the second half of the year. Nevertheless, beyond connectivity services such as cloud and ICT recorded steady growth. Carrier to Carrier (C2C): TM Global remains well-positioned, with a strong pipeline of large-scale border-to-border bandwidth requirements expected to be delivered by year-end. On the domestic front, the segment is on track with its data centre expansions and the delivery of 5G mobile backhaul in support of the national 5G agenda. Investing for Future Growth TM continues to strengthen its long-term position through strategic investments in digital technologies, encompassing AI infrastructure and applications, data centres, edge facilities, expanded fibre coverage, 5G mobile backhaul and submarine cable systems. “Digital infrastructure and AI are no longer just a vision for TM. It’s becoming a reality, from the establishment of data centres, sovereign cloud and GPU-as-a-Service to various enterprise applications that continuously help businesses to unlock digital capabilities and growth,” said Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, Group Chief Executive Officer, TM. “Equally important is ensuring digital inclusivity for all communities and businesses, while nurturing the right talent to power Malaysia’s digital future. Through our inaugural Jangkau Digital programme, we are reimagining Kampung Mukut in Pulau Tioman as the nation’s first Smart Eco-Village. At the same time, the launch of Malaysia’s first Faculty of Artificial Intelligence and Engineering at our education arm, Multimedia University, is a clear testament to this commitment. Together, these initiatives reflect TM’s greater purpose of empowering lives and ensuring no one is left behind in the digital era.” Outlook “While the market environment remains challenging, our results demonstrated resilience and ability to execute our strategic priorities. We are building positive momentum through stronger convergence growth, improved cost structures and disciplined capital management.
