Notwithstanding this provision, the Company may within twenty four (24) months from the commencement of the New Act, use this amount for the purposes as set out in Section 618(2) of the New Act.

Actual results may differ from these estimates. There were no changes in estimates of amounts reported in prior financial years that may have a material effect in the current quarter and financial period to date.

  19. AXIATA GROUP BERHAD (242188-H) 1. PART B: EXPLANATORY NOTES PURSUANT TO APPENDIX 9B OF THE LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA SECURITIES Review of Performance (a) Quarter-on-Quarter (Q2’17 vs Q2’16) Current Year Quarter Preceding Year Corresponding Quarter 30/6/2017 30/6/2016 RM’million RM’million Revenue EBITDA PAT Variance RM’million % 6,058.6 2,273.9 5,310.1 2,065.7 748.5 208.2 14.1 10.1 479.1 232.3 246.8 106.3 188.9 218.3 115.5 PATAMI 407.2 1 PAT : Profit after tax 2 PATAMI : Profit after tax and minority interest Group Performance Revenue increased by 14.1% to RM6,058.6 million in the current quarter from RM5,310.1 million in the second quarter 2016, as a result of an increase in revenue contribution from all its major operating companies except for the operation in Malaysia. Strong performance in revenue was fuelled by data growth with data revenue now contributing 44.1% of service revenue as compared to 32.3% in Q2’16. EBITDA increased by 10.1% quarter-on-quarter driven by revenue growth as well as the Group’s internal cost optimisation drive. PAT was up by more than 100% to RM479.1 million for the period largely attributed to improved profit contribution from almost all operating countries. In 2016, profit was dampened by forex translation loss arising from the weakened MYR in 2016 against the US Dollar as compared to the same period in 2017. Share of results of associates and joint ventures however decreased by more than 100% recording a loss of RM95.6 million. The decline was mainly a result of loss in India amounting to RM109.4 million as compared to a profit of RM14.9 million in Q2’16 as the overall India market continues to be impacted by the new entrant’s aggressive price competition and service. PATAMI increased by more than 100% to RM407.2 million on the back of contribution by all operating companies. Geographical Highlights • Malaysia: Revenue declined by 3.5% to RM1,619.6 million mainly due to the decline in legacy voice and SMS revenue. As a result, EBITDA decreased by 2.3%. PAT increased by 37.6% to RM357.5 million, mainly from a one-off intergroup gain from disposal of one of its associates eliminated at Group. • Indonesia: Revenue grew 16.7% to RM1,843.6 million on the back of solid performance in data – growing 92.2%. EBITDA increased by 7.2% to RM707.3 million. PAT in current quarter increased by 99.1% mainly attributable to lower depreciation and amortisation charges. 19

Review of Performance (continued) (a) Quarter-on-Quarter (Q2’17 vs Q2’16) (continued) Geographical Highlights (continued) • Bangladesh: Revenue grew by 42.3% from the merged Robi-Airtel entity driven by larger subscriber base and strong performance in data which registered more than 100% growth as compared to prior year. EBITDA decreased by 30.2% to RM142.9 million due to the deconsolidation of edotco Bangladesh. PAT increased by more than 100% as compared to a loss position in Q2’16, contributed by deferred tax credit adjustment of RM102.5 million. • Sri Lanka: Total revenue grew by 13.4% backed by data revenue growth of 51.4%. EBITDA grew 19.6% to RM231.5 million. PAT for the quarter increased by 7.5% to RM66.9 million from higher revenue and EBITDA. • Nepal: Increase in revenue, EBITDA and PAT recorded following a full quarter consolidation as compared to preceding year corresponding quarter with the consolidation effective from 11 April 2016. • Cambodia: Revenue increased by 15.8% to RM297.7 million for Q2’17 mainly derived from strong performance in the data segment which saw a jump of 40.5% as compared to Q2’16.
