inflationary pressures and free-to-air alternatives. </p><ul><li>Subscription growth in Kenya dipped by 19%, while in Nigeria, Angola, and Zambia – subscription fell by 18%, 8%, and 60% respectively. </li><li>The decline in subscriber base was further attributed to the hikes in subscription fees for both DSTV and Go-TV packages in its various markets, prompting a 10% revenue decline for the group. </li><li>The Group’s loss for the half year (2024/2025 FY) stood at KSh 12 billion (1.8 billion rand) prompted by forex depreciation in Nigeria and other interest expenses. </li></ul><p>“While we have made huge inroads to reduce our cost base, there is still more work to be done. However, our focus extends beyond cost efficiency – we are equally committed to grow the business,” Multichoice Group CEO, Calvo Mawela said. </p><div class="jeg_ad jeg_ad_article jnews_content_inline_ads "><div class='ads-wrapper align-center '><div class='ads_code'><SCRIPT language='JavaScript1.1' SRC="https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackimpj/N1741099.5084810ADVERTISINGOPS/B32246848.400359255;dc_trk_aid=592686366;dc_trk_cid=219727396;ord[timestamp];dc_lat=;dc_rdid=;tag_for_child_directed_treatment=;tfua=;gdpr=${GDPR};gdpr_consent=${GDPR_CONSENT_755};ltd=;dc_tdv=1?"attributionsrc ></script></div></div></div><p>The Pay-TV industry globally is facing immense challenges due to the influx of streaming services and short-form video content on social media platforms. Multichoice has also grown more unpopular in key markets like Nigeria and Kenya after increasing prices of Pay-TV packages in April, July, and November. </p><p>Multichoice has justified these <a href="https://kenyanwallstreet.com/multichoice-to-hike-dstv-packages-in-november/">hikes</a> to the rising cost of doing business in these markets, with the Nigerian inflation sitting above 30% f0r most of the year. In Zambia, where revenue and subscription declined considerably, extreme power outages have further cratered the company’s fortunes in the continent. </p><p>The group’s revenue increased by 4% Year-On-Year (YoY) to KSh 177 billion (25 billion rand). The company’s cash flow and liquidity status remained positive due to cost optimisation efforts that saved the business KSh 9 billion (1.3 billion rand). </p><p>“We are making good progress in addressing the technical insolvency that resulted from non-cash accounting entries at the end of the last financial year. We expect to return to a positive net equity position by the end of November this year, supported by a number of developments and initiatives,” Mawela added. </p><p><a href="https://www.multichoice.com">Multichoice</a> streaming platform ‘Showmax’ recorded a 30% growth in paying subscribers. The platform is still trying to improve its payment channel integrations and optimise efficiency in its continental markets. Showmax revenues for the Year-on-Year basis were still down 40%, mainly due to the hitches experienced during rebranding and migration to the Peacock tech stack. </p><p>Sports content remains a crucial lifeline for Multichoice. Through SuperSport, audiences peaked during the EURO 2024 tournament driving ratings up. Pirate websites remain a challenge for Multichoice despite introducing a cheap mobile plan for football lovers on Showmax. </p><p>Multichoice is gearing up for an acquisition by French media giant Canal+. The offer is worth US$3 billion and would expand Multichoice services to Francophone Africa where Canal has a dominant footprint. The deal awaits approval after Multichoice accepted the shares buyout in June this year. </p><p>“This merger allows us to secure better content rates and drive more revenue, especially given our combined presence in both French and English-speaking Africa,” Mawela said. </p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenyan-wall-street-business-markets-amp-finance-insights
