MTN Group raises FY subscriber growth forecast

2014-10-23 10:07:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) MTN Group has raised its full-year subscriber guidance, saying that it plans to add 17.5 million net subscribers this year, compared with previous guidance of 17.25 million. It said growth in its domestic South African market helped offset contraction in its largest market, Nigeria. The MTN customer base grew 2 percent to 219 million in the three months to September. Performance was hit by continued aggressive competition and stringent regulatory requirements, CEO Sifiso Dabengwa said. The improved outlook is based on improved customer growth in South Africa, Cameroon and Iran, offset by weaker results in Nigeria.

(Telecompaper) MTN Group has reached an agreement in principle with IHS Holding for the transfer of its towers business in Nigeria. The transaction is expected to reduce MTN Nigeria's operating costs, drive network efficiencies and further expand MTN's voice and data capacity. Subject to regulatory approvals, the 9,151 towers will be transferred to a new company which will be owned jointly by MTN and IHS. IHS will have full operational control of the underlying business. The new towers company will market independent infrastructure sharing services to other mobile operators and ISPs in Nigeria. The transaction is expected to close in Q4.
