CEO Quote
“2018 was a successful year for Ooredoo Palestine, with the growth of our market share in the Gaza
strip, the launch of 3G in the West Bank and the successful rebranding of Wataniya Mobile to Ooredoo Palestine, all of which have unlocked access to good growth potential for the company. Our financial performance showed a positive net income reflecting the success of our strategy of revenue growth and cost optimization: Revenue was higher by 17% over 2017, and crossed the USD 100 million revenue barrier for the first time, mainly due to the increased market penetration from the launch of 3G in the West Bank and the expansion of business in the Gaza strip, we have grown our customer base by 27% to reached around 1.3 million subscribers, and EBITDA increased by 40% delivering a strong performance in a highly competitive market, focusing on efficiency and cost optimization, which yielded in a Net Profit of USD 0.1 million in 2018 compared with net loss of USD 6.6 million for 2017.”
