Telenor organic sales up 1.5%, EBITDA margin improves
2014-05-07 08:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telenor reported organic sales growth of 1.5 percent in the first quarter, in line with its full-year outlook for growth in the low single digits. The growth was led by its activities in south Asia, which accounted for the bulk of the around 6 million mobile customers added in the quarter. Telenor's total revenues rose to NOK 26.52 billion from NOK 24.712 billion a year earlier, with growth in all markets except Thailand. Adjusted EBITDA improved to NOK 9.30 billion from NOK 8.42 billion, thanks to improvements in Asia and Sweden. The EBITDA margin rose to 35.1 percent from 34.1 a year ago, and Telenor said it still expects a stable margin over the full year. Net profit was up slightly, to NOK 3.68 billion from NOK 3.60 billion. Capital expenditure jumped to NOK 6.60 billion from NOK 2.87 billion due to NOK 2.9 billion for the licence in Myanmar, while operating cash flow was stable, at NOK 5.60 billion. Telenor said it was an "encouraging" start to the year. It will continue to focus on growth through mobile data services, as well as returning to revenue growth in Thailand and increasing returns in Norway. The capex budget was maintained at 16 percent of annual sales, excluding spectrum and licence fees.

Adjusted free cash flow, which excludes the cost of its mobile operation in Chile, should also improve, to around USD 2.0 billion from USD 1.8 billion in 2013. Capital expenditure rose to USD 2.5 billion in 2013 from USD 1.9 billion a year earlier, due mainly to the takeover of Virgin Media.

2014-02-12 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telenor met its outlook for around 1 percent growth in organic sales last year and said it expects to grow in the low single digits in 2014. The operator also posted 1 percent organic sales growth in Q4.

With an EBITDA margin of 32.6 percent in Q4 and 34.5 percent over the full year, Telenor met its annual target. The company expects a stable margin in 2014, excluding the costs of launching its new operation in Myanmar. Telenor's net profit was down slightly in the quarter, to NOK 2.43 billion from NOK 2.51 billion a year ago, but profit increased strongly over the full year, leading to a 17 percent increase in the dividend to NOK 7.0 per share.

In 2014, capex is expected to increase to around 16 percent of revenue, from 14.1 percent in 2013. Despite the higher equipment spending last year, Telenor spent less on acquiring new spectrum, leading to an increase in operating cash flow to NOK 21.23 billion from NOK 20.55 billion in 2013.
