M1 on Monday announced a 4.8 per cent fall in net profit after tax to S$32.7 million for its third quarter ended Sept 30, 2017 due mainly to higher depreciation and interest expenses.

Of the total revenue, service revenue increased by 4.9 per cent year-on-year to S$206.7 million, driven primarily by higher postpaid and fixed services revenues, which grew 5.5 and 19.9 per cent, respectively.
