The Group delivered a resilient performance against industry challenges and currency headwinds. Operating revenue was S$16.85 billion, 7.3% lower than FY2013 with the Australian Dollar weakening 8% against the Singapore Dollar. In constant currency terms, revenue would have declined 2.3% with lower mobile revenue in Australia and a cautious business climate. EBITDA was relatively stable at S$5.16 billion but in constant currency terms increased 4.5% on an improved cost structure.
The associates' pre-tax contributions rose 4.5% to S$2.20 billion and would have increased strongly by 13% excluding the currency translation impact. The regional mobile associates registered robust demand for mobile data services, with earnings growth led by Airtel India.
Underlying net profit was stable at S$3.61 billion and net profit including exceptional items grew 4.1% to S$3.65 billion. In constant currency terms, underlying net profit and net profit would have increased 5.9% and 10% respectively from FY2013.
The Group delivered resilient earnings amid significant industry changes while it continued to invest in transformational initiatives to drive long-term growth. Operating revenue was S$18.18 billion, 3.4% lower than FY2012 due to lower mobile revenue in Australia. EBITDA was stable at S$5.20 billion. In constant currency terms, revenue declined 2.1% but EBITDA grew 1.0% on strong cost management.
The associates' pre-tax contributions grew 5.0% to S$2.11 billion. Excluding the currency translation impact, the associates' pre-tax contributions would have increased strongly by 12%, underpinned by double-digit earnings growth from Telkomsel and AIS.

The Group's operating revenue grew 4.2% to S$18.83 billion, underpinned by robust mobile growth in Singapore and 4% appreciation of the Australian Dollar. EBITDA rose 1.9% to S$5.22 billion with lower customer acquisition costs in Australia partly offset by investments in mio TV content and higher mobile acquisition and retention costs in Singapore.
The associates' pre-tax contributions declined 6.4% to S$2.01 billion. Excluding currency translation impact, the associates' pre-tax contributions would have been stable, driven by strong profit growth from Telkomsel and AIS partially offset by Airtel's lower earnings.

The associates' pre-tax contributions declined 11% to S$2.14 billion. Both Telkomsel and Globe reported lower profits on increased competitive pressures.

The Group's operating revenue grew strongly by 13% to S$16.87 billion and EBITDA increased 9.4% to S$4.85 billion, reflecting strong operational performance and an 8% appreciation of the Australian Dollar.
The associates' pre-tax contributions rose 18% to S$2.41 billion. The growth was driven by strong turnaround in Telkomsel's operational performance and the associates' fair value gains on their foreign currency liabilities.
