M1's earnings feared to slide 12%

This is due to a looming increase in the company’s expenses.

DBS Research forecasted that M1’s earnings will decline by 12% YoY, because of a looming increase in the company’s project-related expenses.

Said expenses caused a decline to M1’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the previous quarters.

M1’s EBITDA is also expected to decrease by 3% until 2020 because of higher depreciation and amortisation costs caused by higher investments on network assets and spectrum.

Further, a decrease in earnings will negatively affect M1’s dividend payment (80% of earnings) and share price.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
