What else do investors need to know?
Tuas continued to generate strong positive net cash flow, with cash and term deposits rising to S$478 million at 31 January 2026, boosted by a S$364.5 million equity raising to support Tuas' proposed acquisition of M1.
Simba, its main Singapore subsidiary, grew monthly paid mobile active services to around 1.41 million, up from 1.25 million at 31 July 2025, while broadband subscribers exceeded 46,000. Simba's fibre broadband business claimed "Singapore's Fastest Internet Download" and "Most Reliable Internet Speed" awards from Ookla for the second half of 2025.
Tuas' results included S$10.5 million in one-off costs related to M1 acquisition activity, and the acquisition remains subject to final regulatory approval.
What did Tuas management say?
Chairman David Teoh said:
This half saw strong growth in both our mobile and broadband businesses, alongside positive net profit and robust cash generation, while the M1 acquisition presents an exciting opportunity for our group.
What's next for Tuas?
Looking ahead, Tuas is focused on closing the M1 acquisition, which it views as a transformative deal for Simba and the wider Singapore market. Equity funding is in place, but finalisation depends on regulatory approval, expected later in 2026.
Operationally, the company aims to keep expanding its mobile and broadband market share in Singapore, leveraging recent awards and continued 5G network investments.
