2017 Marked by Underperformance
SCMA posted 2017 net profit of IDR1.3 trillion or edging down by 11.4% y-y. The downturns in 1Q17, 3Q17, and 4Q17 ads revenues on yearly basis were attributable to the decline of 1.6% y-y in 2017 revenue. Another to the downturns in ads revenue, the upswing in 4Q17 business expenses— amortization expense, professional fee, and allowance for doubtful account— slid 4Q17 EBIT margin down to 27%.
