Tele2 cuts EBITDA outlook on Dutch expansion plans
2015-10-21 08:37:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Tele2 has trimmed its EBITDA outlook for 2015 as it accelerates the launch of its own mobile network in the Netherlands. Tele2 started migrating its own customers to the new network earlier this year and the company said it will now open the services to anyone, as network roll-out progressed faster than expected. This will lead to higher costs in Q4 and lower annual EBITDA of SEK 5.6-5.8 billion, compared to an earlier target fo SEK 5.8-6.0 billion. Tele2 still expects group revenues of SEK 25.5-26.5 billion in 2015 and mid single-digit growth in mobile service revenues. In the third quarter, mobile service revenue was up 5 percent, helping to offset a drop in fixed telephony and broadband revenue. Total sales rose to SEK 6.791 billion from SEK 6.584 billion a year ago. EBITDA already started to feel the impact of the spending in the Netherlands as well as the weaker fixed operations and fell to SEK 1.599 billion from SEK 1.682 billion. The margin dropped to 24 percent from 26 a year ago. Net profit nearly halved to SEK 397 million from SEK 726 million, hurt by an impairment on goodwill in Estonia of SEK 197 million, restructuring costs and a revaluation of the put option in Kazakhstan on currency fluctuations.

America Movil Q3 revenues up 1.2%, EBITDA falls
2015-10-20 10:02:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) America Movil announced that its third-quarter revenues were up 1.2 percent from the prior year to MXN 223.6 billion. Service revenues fell 0.6 percent excluding currency effects, similar to the Q2 performance, as the drop in voice revenues offset accelerating data revenues. EBITDA fell 8.2 percent over the same period to MXN 66.7 billion, hurt by currency depreciation in countries such as Brazil and Colombia. America Movil noted that Central America has now become its fastest growing region, due to the economic slowdown in South America. Operating profit reached MXN 35.2 billion, down 17.5 percent from a year earlier, and the net result moved to a loss of MXN 2.1 billion versus a profit of MXN 17.2 billion as financing costs increased and the company became a net taxpayer. Net debt increased by MXN 61.3 billion compared to the end of 2014, mainly due to reclassifying the KPN investment as an asset for sale. Net debt equaled 1.8 times EBITDA at the end of Septmber. In the first nine months of the year, the company funded capital expenditures totaling MXN 105.7 billion.

Axiata revenue, EBITDA lower in Q2 on 'challenging' markets
2015-08-20 09:53:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Asian mobile operator Axiata reported second-quarter revenue down 0.5 percent year-on-year to MYR 4.707 billion, while EBITDA declined 1.6 percent to MYR 1.715 billion. Net profit increased 34.2 percent to MYR 611 million and was down 2.7 percent to MYR 617 million after adjusting for one-time items. Axiata said it had a challenging first half to the year as expected, with revenue declines in its largest markets Malaysia and Indonesia not offset by growth in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Cambodia. Adjusted for currency effects, revenue fell 3.5 percent year-on-year in Q2 and EBITDA was down 4.6 percent, hurt by the weaker ringgit. The company said it did some small signs of improvement, with Celcom in Malaysia returning to net subscriber growth and quarterly growth in sales and EBITDA in Indonesia. Capital expenditure jumped 61.5 percent year-on-year to MYR 1.194 billion in Q2, or 25.4 percent or revenue, led by mobile data expansion in Bangladesh and Cambodia, while operating cash flow fell 66.8 percent to MYR 244 million. Net debt was stable at 1.25 times EBITDA, and Axiata had MYR 5.447 billion in cash at the end of the period. Axiata said it will remain challenging to reach its full-year targets of 4 percent growth in revenue and EBITDA, amid currency risks in Malaysia and Indonesia and increased competition in Malaysia and Bangladesh. It maintained its target for annual capex of MYR 4.8 billion.
