Naspers has announced its financial results for the year to 31 March 2018<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0– showing a 9% rise in consolidated revenue to US$6.66 billion, “as e-commerce continued to scale”.<\/p>\n

Speaking on its DStv division, Naspers said that overall, the video-entertainment business recorded modest subscriber growth over the period with the total subscriber base closing at 13.5 million at the end of its full year.<\/p>\n

“The macroeconomic environment remained a challenge and business continued to face competition from international players,” it said.<\/p>\n

Despite the difficult conditions, the segment nonetheless recorded good growth, Naspers said, adding just over 1 million DTH (direct to home) and 520,000 DTT (digital terrestrial) subscribers, to bring the total base to 13.5 million households across the African continent.<\/p>\n

South Africa accounts for the bulk of subscribers, having grown its base 9% year on year.\u00a0The group noted that it added just under 500,000 subscribers locally, approaching a total base of 7 million households.<\/p>\n

“The mass market growth trend is continuing. The Premium tier growth is declining and Compact tier growth is starting to stabilise,” Naspers said.<\/p>\n

It added that the average revenue per user (ARPU) remained relatively stable at R344<\/strong> (compared to R353 in 2017), despite an ongoing change in subscriber mix.<\/p>\n

PVRs meanwhile, have increased 9% YoY and the 1.4 million customers at present represent an 81% penetration on Premium and 12% penetration on Compact. This represents strong retention and and a boost to ARPU, the group said.<\/p>\n
