3 reasons why M1's data revenue growth was 'diluted'

Service revenue was flattish.

According to CIMB, M1’s 3Q13 service revenue was flat qoq, despite a 6% rise in the adoption of tiered data plans to 32%.

The growth in data revenue was diluted by: 1) lower roaming revenues due to lower inter-operator termination (IOT) rates and fewer
travellers not using international data roaming by buying prepaid cards or using free WiFi at their travel destinations.

Here's more from CIMB:

We expect this phenomenon to continue because of expensive roaming rates, conveniently-available prepaid SIM cards in Singapore and most countries, and downward trend on the IOT.

Roaming revenue contributes 12% of M1’s net revenues; and 2) weaker IDD revenues of lower tariff.

As a result of these factors, service revenue slowed from 9% yoy in 2Q to 5% in 3Q.

Device subsidies dipped 7% qoq despite the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4 in mid-Jul. This reflects the lower selling price of this device.

Earnings forecast for Courts Asia slashed by 5%

Here's what to blame.

According to DBS, it expects Courts Asia's results to be soft, on lower fuel subsidies in Malaysia and slower furniture and household equipment sales in Singapore.

"We have therefore lowered FY14F sales psf expectations in Singapore and Malaysia and hence reduced our FY14F/FY15F earnings forecast by 5%/2%," said DBS.

Here's more:

Longer term, we expect demand in Malaysia to normalise when the market adapts to lower fuel subsidies. With higher housing completion in Singapore going forward, we remain positive on demand picking up.
