AsiaSat financial report

AsiaSat's Chairman, Mi Zeng Xin, said, “Our 20th anniversary year saw the Group‟s performance strengthen in line with a more dynamic Asian satellite market, as reflected in our increased transponder utilisation rates and a steady flow of new contracts. This took place in the context of a global economic slowdown that has created a great deal of uncertainty for 2009. Looking forward, however, we believe that the fundamental growth drivers of the Asian satellite industry remain solid. AsiaSat is a market leader in the Asia Pacific region, remains financially strong and free of debt, and continues to set industry benchmarks for customer services, operating standards and management expertise.”
