Naspers on Friday recorded positive results for the year to March 2017, increasing revenue by 19% year on year to US$14.6 billion.<\/p>\n

The group’s portfolio of companies includes those in the video entertainment space, namely MultiChoice and its DStv service.<\/p>\n

Overall, Naspers said that video entertainment revenue was flat at $3.401 billion.<\/p>\n

It said its video entertainment subscriber base grew to 11.9 million households, with 1.5 million subscribers added during the period. Of these, 626,000 were new direct-to-home customers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The group stated that the growth was mainly from mid and lower-end bouquets, with the \u201cchange in subscriber mix negatively impacting revenue uplift\u201d.<\/p>\n

Naspers said it achieved satisfactory financial results despite tough conditions in the South African economy.<\/p>\n

However, a weaker rand resulted in cost inflation and margin pressure, offset by continued focus on cost containment.<\/p>\n

The group saw its average revenue per user for personal video recorder (PVR) decoders decline slightly in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n

Naspers’ results also showed the growth in video entertainment subscriber numbers, with the company’s South African direct-to-home base up to 6.36 million.<\/p>\n

There was also growth in the number of subscribers in sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

Subscriber mix figures pointed to a decline in the number of viewers on Premium packages, with the number of subscribers and the percentage of total subscribers on lower-end packages both increasing.<\/p>\n
