[STAR MEDIA GROUP BHD，受到槟城印刷厂裁员的影响]

印刷和数字 - 2018年第二季度大选后广告支出的势头有所下降。尽管有世界杯等积极事件，市场情绪转为谨慎模式。累积的负面效应影响了星报出版的收入。尽管市场状况不好，但他们在2018年第二季度创造了税前利润为236万令吉，而2017年第二季度则为305万令吉。

广播 - 无线电部门无法避免2018年第二季度广告支出的放缓。尽管收入下降，但他们在2018年第二季度创造了税前利润为23万令吉，而 2017年第二季度为73万令吉。

活动及展览 - 该部门于二零一八年第二季录得较高的税前利润为21万令吉，而2017年第二季则为13万令吉，尽管收入下跌1.1％。

截至2018年6月30日止的6个月公司及附属公司的表现（对比2017年6月30日的表现）：
2018年上半年集团的税前利润增加至1,984万令吉，尽管集团收入下降11.6％，但被印刷资产减值及MSS / ERO导致成本节约以及数字及活动及展览收入增加所抵消。

打印和数字 - 该部门2018年上半年的税前利润为1,933万令吉，而2017年上半年则为1,106万令吉，尽管收入下降了12.7％。该部门的利润也受到其OTT企业dimsum.my的损失的影响。

广播 - 广播在2018年上半年实现收入1537万令吉，而2017年上半年则为1,735万令吉。

活动和展览 - 由于收入增加和成本管理更好，税前利润从2017年上半年的5万令吉增加至2018年上半年的289万令吉。

与2018年第1季度相比，集团2018年第2季度的税前利润较低为225万令吉，2018年第2季度的集团收入从2018年第1季度的1.0903亿令吉减少至9949万令吉，主要是由于印刷收入减少。

前景：
印刷和数字部门的业绩将受到槟城印刷厂裁员的影响。
