StarHub’s net earnings down 18.4% in Q1

Regional enterprise and broadband gains were offset by lower sales from other segments.

StarHub has reported a net profit after tax (NPAT) attributable to shareholders of $31.8m in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, down 18.4% from last year.

In a bourse filing, the company said the lower net earnings were recorded following a 0.7% decline in service revenue, which settled to $464.0m. 

Broken down, StarHub logged 10% and 5% gains in its regional enterprise and broadband segments in Q1. However, these were offset by lower revenue contributions from mobile, entertainment, and cybersecurity due to the timing of project recognition.

The lower NPAT was also coupled with a 5.2% decline in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation to settle at $100.2m. The company said this was due to lower gross profit from certain segment revenue declines, alongside higher operating expenditure from outsourcing costs and operating lease, offset by lower staff costs and R&M.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
