For the third quarter ended December 31, 2009, the company posted an operational EBITDA of SGD1.23bn, an increase of 16.7% compared to SGD1.06bn for the same period last year.

The company reported a net profit of SGD991m, an increase of 24% compared to SGD779m for the same period last year, due the improved perofrmance of businesses in Singapore, Australia and regional mobile associates.
