Media Prima posts results that reflect adverse market conditions, ongoing industry evolution
KUALA LUMPUR: Media Prima Bhd, the country's largest integrated media group, posted RM211.6 million revenue and RM1.0 milion net profit in the third quarter ended March 31 2025 (Q3 FY25). The results were supported by an 11 per cent year-over-year growth in non-advertising revenue, which enabled the group to balance the impact of adverse market conditions on advertising revenue. Culmulatively, Media Prima's revenue in the first nine months stood at RM634.5 million, with a net profit of RM6.9 million. The performance was achieved amid challenging market conditions and ongoing industry evolution throughout the period, the company said. The results also reflect the group's efforts in managing its diverse portfolio which include broadcasting, publishing, digital media, out-of-home, home shopping and Omnia, an integrated media solutions and creative services provider. Media platforms that recorded encouraging performance include home shopping and audio under the broadcasting segment. Group chairman Datuk Seri Dr Syed Hussian Aljunid said the results reflect the ongoing dynamic nature of the media industry and broader economic conditions. He said the group remains steadfast in executing its three-year strategic roadmap, which emphasises enhancing content quality, premiumising inventory and diligently identifying new revenue opportunities. "These initiatives are crucial for building resilience and establishing a solid foundation for sustainable growth. "Our commitment to improving operational effectiveness across all segments is unwavering as we navigate current market challenges," he said. Group managing director Rafiq Razali said Media Prima is navigating a complex market which includes significant shifts in advertising and consumer behaviour. He said the home shopping segment's quarterly performance is encouraging. "While certain segments faced headwinds, particularly in advertising revenue, our focus remains on prudent cost management and the strategic execution of our business plan. "We are continuously working to enhance our operational effectiveness while relying on data insights to understand audience preference and market trends to deliver value," he said. Rafiq added that Media Prima will maintain a prudent perspective for the rest of the financial year, anticipating continued pressure on advertising expenditure due to economic uncertainties and the evolving media landscape.

Anwar: Malaysia to lead Asean towards becoming robust regional force
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has outlined a strategic vision for Asean's growth, focusing on deeper economic integration, trade, and cross-border energy connectivity. Anwar said that as chair of Asean this year, Malaysia is determined to lead the bloc beyond its traditional role as a neutral platform and towards becoming a more robust regional force. "As part of this year's priorities, we are focusing on strengthening Asean unity, enhancing economic and trade significance, and stimulating investment among member states. "One of the key initiatives being advanced is the Asean Power Grid project, which is seen as a major step forward in regional energy cooperation," he said. He made these remarks during a briefing session with local and international media editors at the Seri Perdana Complex today. Expanding on the Asean Power Grid project, Anwar said the initiative begins with a cable link connecting Vietnam to Peninsular Malaysia, with the potential for extension to Singapore. "In the first phase, the most economically viable route is to connect Vietnam to the north and south of Peninsular Malaysia, and subsequently to Singapore via our National Grid," he said. He said that in future phases, the project could be expanded to Cambodia, Thailand and Sarawak, tapping into the state's vast capacity in alternative energy, including gas. "This opens up possibilities to supply power to Kalimantan, Indonesia's new capital, and even the southern Philippines," he said. Also present at the briefing were Media Prima's News & Current Affairs (NCA) Group Managing Editor Jasbant Singh; Deputy Group Editor and New Straits Times Group Editor, Farrah Naz Abd Karim; NCA Television Networks Group Editor, Azhari Muhidin; Berita Harian Group Editor, Zulkifli Jalil; and Harian Metro Group Editor, Husain Jahit.
