StarHub reports net profit of S$319.7m due to higher revenue

Decrease in taxation and lower interest expenses were cited as other factors contributing to StarHub's 2.7 percent year-on-year growth in net profit.

Although broadband and sale of equipment revenue were lower at S$240.5m and S$92.6m respectively, the company saw higher revenue for its business units Mobile (S$1,094m), Pay TV (S$405.5m) and fixed network services (S$317.5m).

Lower voice, IDD and roaming usages offset increase in the number of subscribers to 939,000, causing post-paid mobile revenue to be flat. Meanwhile rise in pre-paid mobile subscribers to 979,000 and higher voice, data and IDD usages caused revenue from this sector to be up.

For 2010 Starhub expects to pay minimum dividend of S$0.05 per ordinary share per quarter, with operating revenue growth to be in single digit for the year.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
