Liberty Global organic sales, cash flow up 2% in Q4
2014-02-14 08:55:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Liberty Global reported fourth-quarter revenues up 71 percent from a year earlier to USD 4.5 billion, driven by its takeover of UK cable operator Virgin Media. Excluding acquisitions and currency effects, revenues rose 2 percent, with a 4 percent increase in Western Europe, 7 percent growth in Chile and flat sales in CEE. Among its largest markets, Germany grew 7 percent, Belgium was up 10 percent, Switzerland advanced 4 percent, and the UK expanded 1 percent, while the Netherlands contracted by 2 percent. Operating cash flow rose 65 percent to USD 2.1 billion, or 2 percent on an organic basis, while the company's net loss narrowed to USD 121 million in Q4, from USD 331 million a year earlier. Liberty said it expects growth in organic OCF to accelerate in 2014. Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes the cost of its mobile operation in Chile, should also improve, to around USD 2.0 billion from USD 1.8 billion in 2013. Capital expenditure rose to USD 2.5 billion in 2013 from USD 1.9 billion a year earlier, due mainly to the takeover of Virgin Media. Liberty ended the year with debt of USD 44.7 billion and cash of USD 2.7 billion, putting its net leverage at 4.9x.

Telenor organic sales up 1% in Q4, EBITDA margin improves
2014-02-12 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telenor met its outlook for around 1 percent growth in organic sales last year and said it expects to grow in the low single digits in 2014. The operator also posted 1 percent organic sales growth in Q4. Reported revenues rose to NOK 27.61 billion from NOK 25.99 billion a year ago, and adjusted EBITDA increased to NOK 8.99 billion from NOK 8.20 billion. With an EBITDA margin of 32.6 percent in Q4 and 34.5 percent over the full year, Telenor met its annual target. The company expects a stable margin in 2014, excluding the costs of launching its new operation in Myanmar. Telenor's net profit was down slightly in the quarter, to NOK 2.43 billion from NOK 2.51 billion a year ago, but profit increased strongly over the full year, leading to a 17 percent increase in the dividend to NOK 7.0 per share. The operator increased capital expenditure last year to NOK 14.66 billion excluding spectrum licences, from NOK 12.30 billion in 2012. In 2014, capex is expected to increase to around 16 percent of revenue, from 14.1 percent in 2013. Despite the higher equipment spending last year, Telenor spent less on acquiring new spectrum, leading to an increase in operating cash flow to NOK 21.23 billion from NOK 20.55 billion in 2013.
