WorldLink Communications Limited, Nepal's leading internet service provider, delivered strong financial performance in fiscal year 2024/25, recording operating revenue of Rs 12.13 billion, up 9.01 percent from the previous year.

The company improved its profitability through effective cost management, resulting in an operating profit margin of 32.61 percent. Gross cash accruals also surged to more than Rs 3 billion, reflecting stronger cash generation capacity.

Internet services contributed 51 percent of total revenue, while monitoring and technical support services accounted for 43 percent. The remaining revenue came from network service provider operations and equipment sales.

According to Nepal Telecommunications Authority data, WorldLink maintains a dominant position in Nepal's ISP industry with an estimated 32 percent market share. The company's subscriber base expanded to 1.08 million customers by April 2026, representing nearly one-third of all new internet users added in the country.

Reflecting its improved financial strength, CARE Ratings Nepal upgraded WorldLink's long-term bank facility rating to CARE NP A+ and assigned a CARE NP A1 rating for its short-term borrowing facilities.

Foreign investment has played a major role in the company's expansion. Total foreign direct investment in WorldLink reached Rs 4.37 billion by mid-April 2026, including investments from British International Investment, Dolma Impact Fund, and Finland's Finnfund.

WorldLink continues to lead technological innovation in Nepal's telecom sector. The company pioneered Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services and has recently upgraded its network using advanced XGS-PON technology alongside Nokia Wi-Fi Beacon routers.

Despite its growth, the company faces challenges including high capital expenditure requirements, Rs 2.76 billion in outstanding loans, intense market competition, foreign exchange losses, and unresolved utility pole rental disputes with the Nepal Electricity Authority.
