The share price of Tuas (ASX:TUA), a prominent telecommunications provider in Singapore, has drawn considerable attention following the release of its impressive half-year financial results for FY25. The company's report highlights significant gains across several key financial metrics, positioning Tuas as a compelling entity in the telecom sector.
For the six months ending January 31, 2025, Tuas reported a robust 34% increase in revenue, reaching $73.2 million. This was accompanied by a notable 48% rise in EBITDA, which climbed to $33 million. The most remarkable growth was seen in the company's net profit after tax (NPAT), which surged by 186% to reach $3 million.
This financial uptick was supported by a strong increase in active mobile subscribers, which grew by 23.7% to 1.16 million. This growth is a testament to the company's effective strategies and its increasing foothold in Singapore's telecommunications market. Additionally, earnings per share (EPS) also saw a significant rise, matching the 186% increase in NPAT to $0.65.
On the innovation front, Tuas has been actively enhancing its offerings, particularly in broadband services. From a modest count of 249 subscribers in the first half of FY24, the company has expanded to 14,347 broadband customers by the end of this reporting period. This growth underscores Tuas's commitment to providing competitive and differentiated services, such as its market-leading fibre broadband with the highest speeds, lowest prices, and no upfront costs.
Capital investment in network infrastructure has also been a priority, with significant funds allocated to support the expansion of 5G services. The company's ongoing upgrades and coverage expansion efforts are set to bolster its capabilities, enhancing customer experience and supporting further subscriber growth.
Looking ahead, Tuas is optimistic about its trajectory for the remainder of FY25. The company anticipates continued growth in its mobile subscriber base and expects to achieve a positive full-year net profit. With plans to invest between $50 million and $55 million in mobile and broadband capital expenditures, Tuas is not just strengthening its position in Singapore but is also eyeing potential growth opportunities in other Asian markets, including Malaysia, Indonesia, and Hong Kong.
As Tuas (TUA) progresses, the ongoing improvements and strategic investments highlight its potential as a significant player in the telecommunications industry, not just locally but on an international scale.
