ANNUAL REPORT 2018 M O R P H 2 ASTRO MALAYSIA HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 MORPH ASTRO MALAYSIA HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 1 To morph is to take new form. To leave behind what was. And embrace what's new. To adopt unconventional thinking, fresh skills, and an innovative approach, all driven by a fearless spirit. It's an evolution. And revolution. It's about reimagining our DNA, and to be reborn wholly digital in nature, attitude and ability. The purpose? To change the way people experience their experiences. To give them freedom to enjoy it all, wherever they choose, whenever they choose, however they choose. It's about simplifying their lives and being relevant in their world. In adopting this mantra, we blaze new trails, and embrace endless possibilities. Remaining still is to fade away. But to morph.......is to fly. 2 ASTRO MALAYSIA HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 PATAMI (RM) Revenue (RM) QUICK FY18 FY18 FY17 FY17 FACTS 771m 624m 5.5b 5.6b FY18 FCF (RM) Dividend per Share (sen) FY18 FY18 Content FY17 FY17 1.4b 1.3b 12.5 = 12.5 Households produced Household Penetration Share of TV Viewership 12,000 FY18 FY18 hours of content FY17 FY17 75% 71% 77% = 77% Commerce Connected STBs ARPU (RM) FY18 FY18 Revenue (RM) FY17 FY17 FY18 804k 507k 99.9 100.4 FY17 290m 261m Adex No. of Registered Customers Share of TV Adex Share of Radex FY18 FY17 FY18 FY18 FY17 FY17 1.0m 1.3m 44% 38% 74% 73% Individuals OTTs Digital Assets Radio Registered Users Average Monthly Radio and Installs Unique Visitors Audience FY18 FY18 FY18 FY17 FY17 FY17 4.8m 1.9m 6.9m 5.5m 16.5m 15.6m ASTRO MALAYSIA HOLDINGS BERHAD ANNUAL REPORT 2018 3 Astro Malaysia Holdings Berhad is Malaysia’s leading content and consumer company in the TV, OTT, radio, digital and commerce space with growing ASEAN presence.
