Dialog Axiata PLC announced strong results for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, across its Mobile, Fixed Line and Digital Pay Television businesses, achieving positive revenue growth of 6% year-to-date (YTD) to reach Rs. 133.1 billion for the first nine months of 2025.

This was despite the continued strategic scaling down of its low-margin international wholesale business. Core revenue for the period reached Rs. 128.9 billion up 18% YTD.

On a quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) basis, revenue increased 4% to Rs. 45.7 billion, driven primarily by data revenue expansion.

Group Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) recorded a growth of 40% YTD to Rs. 62.9 billion in 2025, with EBITDA growing by 8% QoQ to Rs. 22.5 billion. The strong performance reflects both revenue growth and operational efficiencies, the company said. The EBITDA margin improved by 11.3 percentage points compared to the same period in 2024, reaching 47.3%, marking a significant recovery and surpassing pre-crisis margin levels.

Group Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) was recorded at Rs. 14.9 billion in 2025, more than doubling YTD. QoQ NPAT grew by 12% to Rs. 5.7 billion, supported by improved EBITDA. In line with improved operational performance, Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF) improved by 92% YTD to Rs. 37.1 billion.
