Our profitability in particular improved, and we reported the largest operating profit in the history of DNA. While our net sales remained steady year-on-year, we can be satisfied with the growth of our service net sales and customer base. Customer satisfaction developed favourably, as did customer loyalty. Personnel satisfaction is at an all-time high at DNA, which is an excellent foundation for our future. Our new brand was launched successfully: research data suggests that DNA is perceived as a more attractive choice in the market. Improved profitability Our EBITDA increased by 12.6 per cent to EUR 227.7 million and our operating profit nearly tripled from 2014. DNA’s profitability was boosted by increased service net sales and improved operational efficiency. While interconnection earnings and mobile devices sales fell from 2014, our service net sales were boosted by the acquisition of TDC’s Finnish operations and mobile communication service sales. Investments remained at a high level in 2015 as planned. Our subscription base continued to grow, boosted in particular by the high demand for broadband services in both mobile and fixed networks. The customer comes first Our rigorous efforts to improve DNA’s customer experience continued to provide good results. DNA Our subscription base continued to grow, boosted in again topped every corporate service category of the particular by the high demand for broadband services EPSI Rating customer satisfaction survey, and also in both mobile and fixed networks. scored the highest customer satisfaction score for mobile broadband in the consumer segment. We placed special emphasis on customer service development, which further improved our customer satisfaction. We will continue the systematic development of customer experience according to our strategy, with the aim of having the most satisfied customers. DNA’S 4G LTE networks expand quickly We continued to make significant investments to expand our 4G networks, which covered 93 per cent of the population at the end of 2015. Total mobile data volumes in our networks doubled again, and even tripled in our 4G networks. Suomen Yhteisverkko started the construction of the shared network in the spring of 2015 and the project proceeded according to plan; the 4G network was completed in Northern Finland according to the planned schedule. The quality of our mobile data service has remained good despite the extremely strong growth of 4G traffic volumes. According to several measurements in 2015, DNA’s 4G was the fastest in almost all most populous cities in Finland. DNA Annual Report 2015 Year 2015: CEO's review 2 DNA TV responds to consumers' changing viewing habits We launched a multi-channel DNA TV service in the first half of 2015, allowing the viewing of TV content in the cable and terrestrial networks as well as the fixed and mobile broadband networks. The service has been well received, boosting the demand for broadband services and improving customer loyalty. 4G-based services have also enjoyed strong growth. New, stronger corporate business Reshaped in 2015, DNA’s Corporate Business was off to a strong start, growing both its subscription and customer base despite intense competition. We became a more competitive provider of enterprise-class corporate network solutions, also on an international scale. An increasing number of organisations are interested in Industrial Internet solutions, and DNA placed special emphasis on the development of its Industrial Internet concept and subscription offering. Revised responsibility strategy We revised our corporate responsibility strategy in 2015 to align it even better with our business and place special emphasis on the responsibility for our customers. As climate change manifests itself, we changed our direct procurement of electricity in 2015 and are now using 100% renewable energy. Positive outlook for 2016 Overall, we managed to achieve our strategic goals well in 2015: our customer satisfaction and customer loyalty improved, the Great Place to Work results signalled that our personnel satisfaction is at an all-time high, our profitability improved significantly, we grew our service net sales and expanded our customer base. The outlook is positive as we start the new year. Net sales are expected to remain at a similar level and operating profit is expected to grow significantly in 2016 compared to 2015.
