EBITDA went up 5 percent to AUD 5 billion, which included the AUD 130 million impairment for TelstraClear which was related to the loss on foreign exchange over the period the company held the asset. Free cashflow totalled AUD 2.16 billion, up 20.1 percent. Telstra ended the period with 6.7 million retail fixed-line customers, down by 178,000, and the number of retail broadband customers grew by 85,000 to 2.7 million.

Telstra expects capital expenditure to be around 15 percent of sales.
