NetLink NBN Trust's profit grows 36.1% YoY in H1 FY23

Its EBITDA was up 15% to $145.6m.

NetLink NBN Trust’s profit after tax (PAT) increased by 36.1% year-on-year (YoY) to $54.6m in the first half of the financial year 2023, due to higher earnings on the back of lower expenses and higher net revenue net of related costs.

In a statement, NetLink NBN Management, Trustee-Manager of NetLink NBN Trust, said the profit rose due to the higher earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) and was partially offset by higher finance costs and lower income tax credit.

The company’s EBITDA rose 15% to $145.6m due to lower other operating expenses and higher revenue net of its related costs.

Its operation expenses during the period were significantly compared to the same period last year due to the $12.4m remeasurement loss in the first half of the financial year 2022 due to the change in rental states upon the renewal of the Central Office revenue.

NetLink’s revenue was up 6.2% to $199.6m mainly due to higher revenue in an ancillary project, connections, co-location and installation-related, but was partially offset by lower Central Office revenue.

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.
