Subscriber acquisitions regained momentum wit h prepaid and postpaid rose by 440k and 2k, respectively enlarging total base to 11.3m after 2 consecutive quarters of lethargic additions. DiGi attributed this to effective prepaid smartphone bundles and network trial campaigns.
Service revenue grew resiliently (+2.0% yoy and +1.0% qoq) to RM4.7bn thanks to strong internet revenue gain (+ 40.3% yoy and 9.8% qoq) as usage volume was more than sufficient to undo its cannibalization effect on SMS (-19.1% yoy and -7.7% qoq) and voice (-6.2% yoy and -1.3% qoq) revenues.
Data contributes 39.9 % to service revenue (+5.6ppt yoy and +1.8ppt qoq), almost equivalent to 40.4% of blended ARPU.
Postpaid ARPU declined marginally to RM82 (-RM1 qoq) in tandem with MOU which also fell by 3.4% qoq. W hile, stable prepaid ARPU of RM41 reflects flattish MOU.
Although rivalry intensified resulting in prepaid and data pricing pressures, DiGi maintained its guidance for 2014.
Expect positive GST impact but no guidance was shared and opined that this to will be determined by market dynamics. No update on business trust structure.
BUY, TP: RM6.30
