TM’s Q4 revenue up 6.8%, FY2025 dividend totals 31.0 sen
KUALA LUMPUR, 25 February 2026 – Telekom Malaysia Berhad (“TM” or “the Group”) recorded a 6.8% increase in revenue to RM3.26 billion for the fourth quarter of 2025 (4Q2025) compared to corresponding quarter last year, driven by stronger momentum across its businesses as the Group closed the year on a firmer footing. Total dividends for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (FY2025) amounted to 31.0 sen per share, reflecting the Group’s healthy financial position and execution discipline.
Financial Highlights
For FY2025, the Group’s revenue recorded a 1.4% year-on-year growth, marking its steady annual revenue growth despite an intensely competitive operating environment.
Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) for FY2025 stood at RM2.03 billion, while Profit After Tax and Non-Controlling Interests (PATAMI) stood at RM1.71 billion. EBIT and PATAMI for 4Q2025 were RM215.5 million and RM222.5 million, respectively. Adjusting for employee voluntary separation requests, foreign exchange movements and selected non-recurring items, PATAMI for 4Q2025 increased by 72.8% from the same period last year, reflecting stronger underlying performance in the quarter.
As TM accelerates its transition towards a more digital and technology-driven business, it remained attentive to the evolving aspirations of its workforce. During the year, TM received a significant number of voluntary separation requests from employees seeking early retirement or career transitions. As a responsible employer, TM accommodated these requests with a fair and attractive transition package. This is win-win for both parties in the long run – employees can comfortably transition to the next phase of their lives, while enabling TM to progressively align towards its future digitalisation priorities. This underscores the Group’s commitment in ensuring responsible workforce management and upholding the social pillar of its sustainability framework.
In line with the Group’s performance and commitment to delivering sustainable returns to shareholders, the Board declared a second interim dividend of 14.5 sen per share and a special dividend of 4.0 sen per share. Together with the interim dividend of 12.5 sen per share announced at mid-year, this brings the total dividend for FY2025 to 31.0 sen per share. This amounts to approximately RM1.19 billion or about 70% of reported PATAMI, the highest payout ratio since 2018.
For FY2025, capital expenditure was maintained at 16.1% of revenue, within the Group’s full-year guidance.
Reflecting on the results, Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, Group Chief Executive Officer of TM said, “FY2025 was a year where we demonstrated our ability to grow while maintaining strong execution discipline in a competitive environment.
At the same time, we balanced the needs of our various stakeholders. For customers, we strived to meet their evolving connectivity and digital needs, delivering more relevant, converged solutions that support their lives and businesses. For employees, we remained attentive to their aspirations as we evolve into a more digital business. For shareholders, we focused on growing and delivering sustainable returns.”
Nation-building and Responsible Growth
“We further strengthened our role as a national digital enabler, investing in the infrastructure that supports Malaysia’s digital economy and long-term competitiveness. This positions the Group on a stronger footing as we move into the next phase of growth. These investments are aligned with TM’s long-term strategy to support growing demand for connectivity, data centre, cloud, digital and AI services across Malaysia and the region.”
“Sustainability is embedded in our business strategy and how we operate. In 2025, we strengthened our governance and sustainability standing, with measurable improvements across national and global ESG benchmarks. This reflects our commitment to responsible growth, strong governance and long-term value creation,” he concluded.
Outlook
TM’s outlook for 2026 remains positive. TM will continue to focus on disciplined execution of its strategic priorities towards its aspiration of becoming a Digital Powerhouse by 2030, while positioning Malaysia as the digital hub for the region.
