- Adjusted EBITDA
- The Adjusted EBITDA experienced a consistent upward trend from 2021 to 2024. It increased from $25,188 million in 2021 to $27,338 million in 2024, indicating steady growth in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization in the residential connectivity and platforms segment.
- Revenue

- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin saw a continuous increase from 34.65% in 2021 to 38.2% in 2024. This improvement reflects enhanced operational efficiency and profitability despite the slight revenue decline, as the segment generated higher profit per unit of revenue over time.

1 2024 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Adjusted EBITDA ÷ Revenue
= 100 × ÷ =
- Revenue
- Revenue for the segment demonstrates a consistent upward trend over the reported periods. Beginning at 8,056 million US dollars in 2021, revenue increased steadily to 8,819 million in 2022, followed by 9,255 million in 2023 and 9,701 million in 2024. This indicates continual growth in the business services connectivity revenue base.
- Adjusted EBITDA
- Adjusted EBITDA also shows a positive progression over the years. From 4,682 million US dollars in 2021, it rose to 5,060 million in 2022, then to 5,291 million in 2023, and reached 5,500 million in 2024. This upward movement suggests improvements in earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, reflecting operational profitability gains over time.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin exhibits a slight but gradual decline during the period under review. Starting at 58.12% in 2021, it decreased to 57.38% in 2022, followed by 57.17% in 2023, and further trimmed to 56.7% in 2024. Despite strong revenue and EBITDA growth, the marginal decline in profit margin indicates rising costs or other factors impacting efficiency within the segment.

1 2024 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Adjusted EBITDA ÷ Revenue
= 100 × ÷ =
- Adjusted EBITDA
- The adjusted EBITDA experienced a significant decline from 5,133 million USD in 2021 to 3,598 million USD in 2022, followed by a further reduction to 2,955 million USD in 2023. In 2024, there was a slight recovery, with adjusted EBITDA increasing to 3,130 million USD. Overall, the trend indicates a notable decrease in profitability in terms of adjusted EBITDA, with a modest upward movement in the latest period.
- Revenue
- Revenue showed a generally downward trend from 27,406 million USD in 2021 to 25,355 million USD in 2023, marking a decrease over the three-year span. However, in 2024, revenue rebounded to 28,148 million USD, surpassing the 2021 level. This suggests that after a period of contraction, the segment experienced growth in the latest year.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin consistently decreased each year, falling from 18.73% in 2021 to 11.12% in 2024. This decline indicates diminishing profitability efficiency relative to revenue, reflecting increased costs, pricing pressure, or other operational challenges affecting margin performance despite the revenue rebound in 2024.
- Summary
- Overall, the "Media" segment faced a challenging period from 2021 to 2023, with both adjusted EBITDA and revenue declining alongside a deteriorating profit margin. While 2024 showed signs of improvement in revenue and adjusted EBITDA, the profit margin continued to decline, suggesting ongoing pressure on cost management or pricing. The mismatch between rising revenue and falling margins in 2024 may imply increased expenses or strategic investments impacting profitability.

1 2024 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Adjusted EBITDA ÷ Revenue
= 100 × ÷ =
- Revenue
- The revenue demonstrated an increasing trend from 2021 to 2022, rising from 10,077 million US dollars to 12,257 million US dollars. However, in the following years, revenue experienced a decline, decreasing to 11,625 million US dollars in 2023 and further to 11,092 million US dollars in 2024. This indicates a peak in revenue in 2022 followed by a gradual reduction over the subsequent two years.
- Adjusted EBITDA
- The adjusted EBITDA shows a consistent upward trajectory throughout the reported periods. Starting at 879 million US dollars in 2021, it increased to 961 million US dollars in 2022, followed by a significant rise to 1,269 million US dollars in 2023, and further growth to 1,404 million US dollars in 2024. This trend suggests improving operational profitability despite the decline in revenue after 2022.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin reveals variability over the years. It began at 8.72% in 2021 and declined slightly to 7.84% in 2022. Subsequent years saw a notable improvement with margins increasing to 10.92% in 2023 and then to 12.66% in 2024. The rising profit margin in the last two years indicates increasing efficiency or better cost management within the segment.
- Overall Insights
- Despite the decline in revenue after 2022, the adjusted EBITDA and segment profit margin both showed healthy growth, signifying enhanced profitability and operational efficiency. The segment appears to have strengthened its profit-generating capacity with better margins and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, even in a period of declining revenue. This could reflect successful cost control, pricing strategies, or shifts in the product or service mix favoring higher-margin offerings.

It rose from $1,267 million in 2021 to $3,345 million in 2023, followed by a decrease in 2024 to $2,949 million.
