Globe Telecom Inc., despite booking more revenues, registered a 27-percent decline in net income during the first half due to absence of a one-time gain from asset sale and higher depreciation expense.

Still, service revenues climbed by 2 percent to a record P80.4 billion in the first half, driven by data revenue growth across mobile and corporate data business.

Mobile business revenues, mostly accounted for by the prepaid segment, were up 1 percent to P54.8 billion. Mobile data traffic grew by 29 percent to 2,814 petabytes in the first half because of increasing “popularity of streaming and user-generated content through social media.” Corporate data business, meanwhile, contributed P9.1 billion in revenues, showing an 11-percent improvement from the previous year. Globe attributed this to rising demand for digitalization on the part of businesses.

“The Globe Group continues to perform well during the first half of the year, despite facing macroeconomic challenges. We were consistent in delivering revenue growth on our mobile and corporate data businesses,” Globe president and CEO Ernest Cu said.Your subscription has been successful.
