Digi.com Bhd’s net profit for the second quarter ended June 30 , fell 26.6% to RM288.04 million from RM392.48 million a year ago due mainly to higher finance costs.

Digi’s Q2’20 earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation stood at RM770 million and operations cashflow at RM545 million. Wide-scale retail closure during the period however, affected the company’s acquisition activities, while roaming revenues were under significant pressure from a near-complete ban on inbound and outbound travel. Overall data monetisation and traditional voice usage was also impacted.

“As we see run rates gradually return in June, we believe these proactive and well-coordinated business continuity efforts position us well to drive continued operational resilience in the second half of 2020. Our focus is to deliver business priorities to create value for stakeholders and to play a key role in supporting the society’s recovery in the new normal.”
