Rakuten Mobile highlighted accelerated subscriber uptake in Q2 as the catalyst to topline growth and continued reductions in its operating losses, which narrowed by JPY19.4 billion ($131.9 million) year-on-year.<\/p>\n
Mickey Mikitani, Rakuten Group chair and CEO (pictured<\/em>), argued in a statement improved network quality and the simplicity of its unlimited mobile offering were key to fuelling subscriber growth. He added the group’s ecosystem is also a key factor through cross- and up-selling opportunities, along with advertising.<\/p>\n He noted although it is still in the investment phase to acquire new subscribers, its pre-marketing cashflow turned positive.<\/p>\n Revenue grew 29.9 per cent to JPY67.9 billion, aided by a 44.2 per cent increase in subscribers to 6.9 million. <\/p>\n Data ARPU was flat at JPY1,704.<\/p>\n Mikitani stated net additions of 610,000 were its highest ever in a quarter. <\/p>\n It added 500,000 users<\/a> in Q1 and hit 7.7 million as of early August.<\/p>\n Non-GAAP operating losses fell to JPY59.5 billion from JPY79 billion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n H1 capex fell by more than half to JPY46 billion. The outlay for the full year is forecast to come in under JPY100 billion, down from JPY167 billion in 2023.<\/p>\n The chair pointed out a deal<\/a> yesterday (8 August) to sell part of its network to a consortium of investors to raise between JPY150 billion and JPY300 billion tremendously improves the financial situation by allowing it to reduce interest baring debt.<\/p>\n Rakuten Symphony sales dropped 18 per cent to $85 billion.<\/p>\n The post Rakuten Mobile subscriber growth accelerates<\/a> appeared first on Mobile World Live<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
