Dasmond Koh’s NoonTalk Media narrows Q3 loss by 41.9% to S$0.4 million
[SINGAPORE] NoonTalk Media on Friday (May 8) announced a loss of S$437,615 for its third quarter ended Mar 31, a narrowing of 41.9 per cent from S$752,974 for the year-ago period.
The Catalist-listed media group, helmed by former DJ Dasmond Koh, who is its chief executive and executive director, posted a 3.3 per cent year-on-year decline in Q3 revenue to S$683,895, from S$707,015 previously.
Revenue from its management and events segment decreased 52.4 per cent to S$210,310 during the quarter. The group attributed this to lower artiste revenue and studio rental, as well as its “strategic pivot away from studio management services”.
NoonTalk’s production segment’s revenue, meanwhile, increased 78.4 per cent to S$473,585, from S$265,401 a year earlier. This was driven by a “growing number” of micro-drama projects, the group said.
“This surge reflects a broader trend toward shorter, more compact storytelling formats that are being produced and released more frequently, thereby driving up the total volume,” it added.
Loss per share for Q3 FY2026 narrowed to S$0.0022, from S$0.0038 a year earlier.

For the nine months ended Mar 31, NoonTalk’s loss widened 27.5 per cent to S$2.1 million, from S$1.6 million for the previous corresponding period. Revenue fell 23.9 per cent to S$2.8 million.
NoonTalk said that the business environment is “expected to remain cautious, with businesses taking a more considered approach to spending and project commitments amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties”.
The group expects short-format content and marketing-led projects to remain relevant.
It will also draw on its experience on digital storytelling and integrate artificial intelligence-generated content tools, in response to evolving requirements.
“Over the next 12 months, business performance is expected to be influenced by broader economic conditions and rising business costs, as well as the pace at which projects are realised and executed,” NoonTalk added.
