Tele2 revenue growth continues in Q2, EBITDA turns lower
2015-07-21 08:42:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Tele2 reported continued revenue growth in the second quarter on its expansion in the mobile market, while profits fell due to the costs of launching its own network in the Netherlands and restructuring. Total revenues rose 4 percent to SEK 6.611 billion, led by a 7 percent rise in mobile service revenues to SEK 3.324 billion. EBITDA fell to SEK 1.393 billion from SEK 1.470 billion a year ago, and the margin dropped to 21 percent from 23. In addition to lower profits from fixed services, EBITDA was hurt by losses in the Netherlands mobile business for the roll-out of its own network there and SEK 71 million in charges for the earlier announced 'Challenger' programme to reduce costs. Net profit dropped to SEK 309 million from SEK 802 million a year ago, when the company had a positive one-off of SEK 363 million from the valuation of a put option in Kazakhstan. Capital expenditure jumped to SEK 1.134 billion from SEK 850 million in the year-earlier period, amid increased investments in mobile networks in the Netherlands, Sweden and Kazakhstan. Free cash flow was a negative SEK 268 million, little changed from a year ago. Tele2 maintained its outlook for mid single-digit growth in mobile service revenue this year and total revenues of SEK 25.5-26.5 billion. EBITDA is expected to reach SEK 5.8-6.0 billion in 2015, and capital expenditure will total SEK 3.8-4.0 billion. Restructuring costs for the Challenger programme are expected at around SEK 200 million.

TeliaSonera organic service revenue, EBITDA lower in Q2
2015-07-17 09:07:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) TeliaSonera reported second-quarter sales up 8.5 percent year-on-year to SEK 21.1 billion, helped by its acquisition of Tele2 Norway and currency effects. Excluding currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, total sales increased 1.9 percent, while service revenues were down 1.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA was up 4.0 percent on a reported basis but down 4.0 percent on an organic basis, to SEK 9.2 billion. The margin fell 33.9 percent from 35.4 a year ago. Adjusted operating profit declined 7.6 percent to SEK 5.9 billion, and net profit was down 8.1 percent to SEK 3.3 billion. Free cash flow increased strongly to SEK 6.3 billion from SEK 2.5 billion, thanks to dividends of SEK 4.7 billion from Turkcell. TeliaSonera said it expects the earnings trend to improve somewhat in the second half of the year and reiterated its full-year outlook for stable organic EBITDA. However, the company noted increased risks to performance in Eurasia due to the difficult economic climate and currency fluctuations. Capital expenditure is estimated at SEK 17 billion over the full year, excluding licence and spectrum fees, after spending SEK 8.3 billion in the first six months.

2015-07-17 08:33:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) America Movil reported second-quarter revenues down 0.1 percent to MXN 220 billion, hurt by weak results in its home market Mexico, the economic slowdown in its largest market Brazil and currency effects. EBITDA fell 5.0 percent to MXN 68.3 billion pesos, and the EBITDA margin declined from 32.6 percent to 31.1 percent. At constant exchange rates, service revenues were down 0.5 percent in the period, and EBITDA fell 3.1 percent. Operating profit was still up 2.2 percent to MXN 36.3 billion, helped by lower depreciation, amortisation and impairment charges. While the company recorded a 24 percent drop in financing costs, increased losses from its affiliates in Europe (Telekom Austria and KPN) led to a 16 percent fall in net profit to MXN 14.0 billion. Over the first half of the year, America Movil's capital expenditures reached MXN 70.9 billion, and it also spent MXN 23.1 billion on share buybacks.

Vodafone sales trend improves, sees stable EBITDA in new yr
2015-05-19 08:17:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vodafone Group reported a return to organic service revenue growth of 0.1 percent in its fiscal fourth quarter to March. Underlying revenues in Europe were down 2.4 percent year-on-year, while its AMAP region grew by 6.0 percent. Over the full year, organic service revenues were still down 1.6 percent, led by a 4.7 percent fall in Europe. Reported revenues grew 10.1 percent to GBP 42.23 billion, helped by the acquisitions of Ono in Spain and KDG in Germany, and the operator met its target for adjusted EBITDA, at GBP 11.7 billion for the year. Net profit from continuing operations fell 48.2 percent to GBP 5.86 billion, and EPS was down 90.3 percent to 21.75 pence, due to a number of charges for deferred tax assets and the gain the year earlier on selling the stake in Verizon Wireless. For the new fiscal year, Vodafone forecast organic EBITDA of GBP 11.5-12.0 billion and positive free cash flow after all capex, but before M&A, spectrum and restructuring costs. In the past year, free cash flow on the same basis reached GBP 1.09 billion. Capital expenditure is estimated at GBP 8.5-9.0 billion, reflecting the second year of Project Spring investment. In the past year, capex was up 45.7 percent to GBP 9.2 billion. Vodafone also proposed a final dividend of 7.62 pence per share, up 2.0 percent, and said it tends to continue to grow dividends per share annually.
