  • Revenue for continuing operations declined 8.3% year-over-year to RM8,778.8 million, mainly due to adverse forex; at constant currency, revenue was up 0.4%.

  • Integration of XL Axiata and Smartfren in Indonesia is on track, with expected merger synergies of USD150–200mn by year-end.

  • EBITDA for the period was RM4,022mn, down 6.9% year-on-year (up 3.2% at constant currency); EBIT was RM1,043mn, down 26.5% year-on-year, impacted by Linknet impairment.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
