Operating revenue increased due to higher mobile data revenue, higher fixed-line subscription revenue, higher equipment sales and the consolidation of BCX. This is partially offset by the decline in fixed-line voice revenue and lower connectivity revenue.

Other income increased mainly as a result of higher profit on sale of Telkom properties.

Investment income decreased as a result of lower cash balances held by the group during the financial year.
