Astro posted a RM46.9 million net profit in 3QFY25

Astro Malaysia posted a RM46.9 million net profit in 3QFY25, reversing a RM47.1 million loss last year, attributed to reduced financing costs and amortization. However, revenue fell 9.5% to RM749.7 million due to lower subscription and advertising income, while higher content and broadband costs impacted Ebitda. Astro highlighted ongoing anti-piracy efforts, reporting legal wins, and launched simplified TV packs to address cost-of-living concerns.

It also highlighted content piracy as its biggest ongoing challenge.

“We released our inaugural first half of the financial year 2025 Anti-Piracy Report Card detailing our initiatives, actions and wins through a combination of fines, settlements and prosecution.

“We are hopeful that a recent landmark decision, with the court awarding Astro statutory damages without prior settlement for the first time ever, sends a strong message to businesses to stop engaging in piracy and breaching copyright,” Astro said.
