Comments from Ella Kartika, President Director of MSIN:
"We are pleased to see the Company performed very well in 2018, outperforming the overall market situation. MSIN took the advantage of captive markets as a result of the increasing of local content on MNCN FTA TV, in which the Company became the sole supplier for local drama series, television films, reality shows and infotainment programs. Moreover, with a solid production infrastructure, we have managed to expand the business outside the group by providing content to various digital platforms, including social media. We believe that in 2019 we will continue to achieve strong revenue, EBITDA, and net income growth just like we did in 2018."
