Quarterly Results and Analyst Briefings
Axiata holds analyst results briefings chaired by the President &
GCEO and GCFO immediately after each announcement of quarterly
results to Bursa Securities. These briefings are normally conducted via
conference calls and attended by senior management of major OpCos
as an avenue to provide dialogue between fund managers and research
analysts with the Group’s Senior Management as well as provide a
platform for analysts and fund managers to receive a balanced and
complete view of the Group’s performance. The holding of analyst calls
immediately after the release of the results is aimed to facilitate timely
publication and/or dissemination of analysts’ reports to the investing
community. Consistent with equitable sharing of information and
treatment of its shareholders, materials intended for analysts briefings
are made available immediately after the release of the financial results.
Throughout 2015, the Group has enjoyed relatively extensive coverage
and exposure to the investment community with a total of 30 equity
research analysts covering the Company.
This equitable policy is not only prevalent to financial affairs but also
extended to major and/or strategic transactions such as the acquisition
of Ncell Pvt Ltd, Robi-Airtel Bangladesh merger, collaboration with
Telekom Malaysia Berhad and acquisition by edotco Group of Digicel
Myanmar Tower Company (renamed edotco Myanmar Limited).
Audiocasts of the presentation of these transactions were also made
available on Axiata’s website.
In 2015, Axiata hosted ‘Robi Analyst Day’ in January and ‘Dialogue with
President & GCEO and GCFO: Introducing XL’s New CEO’ in March. In
October 2015, Axiata organised its annual ‘Analyst & Investor Day’ in
Kuala Lumpur. The event was attended by 60 analysts and investors,
both local and foreign based. Long term strategies, new technology
trends, financial strategies, network technology strategy, management
incentives, Over the Top (OTT) strategy, as well as updates from major
OpCos on data revenue and profitability as well as highlights of the
tower company business were amongst the key topics covered.
Presentation materials and audiocasts to analysts are available online at

Media Conference
Media conferences are held on a half-yearly basis upon release of half-
year and full-year results. The media conferences are held separately
from analyst briefings to address the different requirements of each
group and to be more productive and efficient. Management ensures
that all information is well disseminated and materials for both the
analyst briefings and media conferences are made available on Axiata’s
website.
