While the period under review saw the intensification of competition, SmarTone’s customer-centric approach has helped achieve growth in customer base of 10% year-on-year to 2.2 million and reduction of average postpaid churn rate to a low of 0.8%. Postpaid service revenue, net of handset subsidy amortisation, remained stable against the previous corresponding period and increased 3% over the previous half, reflecting the resilience of the core postpaid service business. Nonetheless, profitability has been impacted by the increase in amortisation of spectrum utilisation fee and lower handset and accessory sales. Profit attributable to shareholders fell by 17% year- on-year to HK$328 million. SmarTone's 2017/18 interim results 數碼通公布 2017/18 年度中期業績 During the period under review, SmarTone continued to invest in network performance. In October 2017, the Company became the first operator in the city to trial FDD Massive MIMO, a technology which will play a crucial role in improving capacity and user throughput. Moreover, after successfully conducting Hong Kong’s first LAA trial in August 2017, SmarTone plans to implement the latest LAA technology in mid-2018 which will enable peak network speed exceeding 1Gbps. Supported by exceptional network performance, SmarTone’s customer-centric strategy will further facilitate growth in the core service business through the Company’s distinctive brand and superior service offerings for target customer segments. 數碼通電訊集團有限公司公布截至 2017 年 12 月 31 日止六個月的業績。於回顧期內， 雖然市場競爭日趨激烈，然而數碼通以客 為本的方針成功令客戶人數按年增長 10% 至 220 萬人，並將月費計劃的平均客戶流失 率降至 0.8% 的低水平。 扣除手機補貼攤銷後，月費計劃服務收入與 去年同期相比維持穩定，並較上一個半年增 長 3% ，反映核心月費計劃業務維持穩定。 儘管如此，盈利仍受頻譜使用費攤銷增加， 以及手機及配件銷售下降所影響。股東應佔 淨溢利為 3.28 億港元，按年減少 17% 。 於回顧期內，數碼通繼續進行網絡投資。於 2017 年 10 月，公司成為本地首家試行 FDD Massive MIMO 技術的網絡商，這項嶄新技 術對將來提升網絡容量及用戶吞吐量非常重 要。此外，數碼通於 2017 年 8 月在香港首次 成功試行 LAA 技術測試，並計劃於 2018 年中 應用最新的 LAA 技術，並將支援超過 1Gbps 的最高網絡速度。憑着超卓的網絡表現，數 碼通將繼續借着以客為本的策略，透過與眾 不同的品牌，及針對特定客戶群的卓越服務 及產品，進一步推動核心業務的增長。 35
