Reliance Communications has reported a consolidated net profit of Rs. 14102 million, down 7.88% since the last quarter. This is despite a 3.64% increase in consolidated for the quarter. The company also reported a 2.21% increase in consolidated EBITDA - at Rs. 23,525 million. VAS Revenues & ARPU As per our calculations, RCom’s VAS revenues were flat - as they were last quarter as well - growing by just 2.7%% quarter on quarter to Rs. 1139 million/month from Rs. 1108 million/month. At the same time, ARPU continued to decline quarter on quarter - to Rs. 271 from Rs. 251. The contribution of Non-SMS VAS declined in percentage terms, but increased in absolute terms to Rs. 939.2 million/month from Rs. 926.255 million/month. The number of wireless subscribers added by Reliance also declined - down to 5.299 million, as compared to 5.7 million subscribers added in the previous quarter.
