StarHub's broadband revenue dips 2.9% to $52.8m

It fell for the first time in two years.

For the first time in two years, StarHub's broadband segment reported a decrease in revenue, falling 2.9% to $52.8m in the past quarter compared to last year.

According to CIMB analyst Foong Choong Chen, this is the third consecutive QoQ decline, down 1.7%.

This pulled the average revenue per user (ARPU) down by 2.7% YoY to $36 whilst subscribers continued to trend downwards, falling 3,000 (-0.6%).

The analyst noted that the only bright spot is the fixed enterprise revenue, whose revenue rose mildly by 0.6% to $99.2m.

To recall, the second quarter of the year was particularly dismal for StarHub after it reported a 21% decline in profits to $85.7m.

According to the group, its service revenue decreased by 2% in the quarter to $1.8b, due to the decline in the turnouts of its mobile, broadband, and PayTV segments.

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.
