Sub-brands and stores key to M&S gross margin gains
2016-02-17 15:21:00| Daily apparel & textile news and comment - from just-style.com

Vimpelcom targets margin turnaround in 2016
2016-02-17 08:36:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vimpelcom reported 2015 results in line with its outlook and forecast a slightly better performance in 2016. The company's revenue was down 1 percent and service revenue flat on an organic basis, and the EBITDA margin fell 0.8 percent points to 40.8 percent in 2015. In 2016, Vimpelcom also expects service revenue flat to a low single-digit organic increase, while the underlying EBITDA margin should be flat to 1 percentage point higher. Vimpelcom expects to benefit this year from cost savings from its planned mergers in Italy and Pakistan as well as increased infrastructure sharing in countries such as Russia. In the fourth quarter, the company said it saw improvement in some markets. While reported revenue was still down 23 percent year-on-year to USD 2.30 billion due to negative currency effects, organic revenue growth was 1 percent. Adjusted EBITDA fell 22 percent to USD 898 million, but was up 5 percent on an organic basis, and the margin rose to 39.0 percent from 38.4 a year ago.

Telenor sees growth slowing, margin pressure in 2015
2016-02-10 08:43:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telenor expects its growth to slow and margins to come under pressure in 2016, amid fierce competition and headwinds in key markets like Thailand and Malaysia. After reporting 4.7 percent organic revenue growth in 2015, the company expects the growth rate to slow to 2-4 percent this year, while the EBITDA margin will drop to 33-34 percent from 34.5 in 2015. The company said it will continue to invest in the roll-out of mobile and fixed broadband networks, maintaining capital expenditure at a high 17-19 percent of sales this year versus 18.4 percent in 2015. The outlook is in line with a slowdown in the fourth quarter, with organic revenue growth of 2.3 percent versus 4.5 percent in Q3. Total revenues rose to NOK 33.5 billion from NOK 30.4 billion a year ago, and adjusted EBITDA increased to NOK 10.9 billion from NOK 9.3 billion. The EBITDA margin was 32.4 percent. The bottom line was a loss of NOK 2.1 billion, after an impairment charge of NOK 2.1 billion on the Danish operations following the failure of the merger with Telia last year. Despite the loss, Telenor increased its dividend to NOK 7.50 per share from NOK 7.30 last year.
