Annual Report and Accounts Annual Report and Accounts and 2015/16 Report Annual 2 015 /16 Dixons Carphone plc Carphone Dixons Annual Report and Accounts Annual Report 2015/16 and Accounts 2 015 /16 www.dixonscarphone.com @DixonsCarphone “I am very pleased to be announcing another year of significant earnings growth, with profits before tax up more than 17%. In this momentous year we have largely completed our merger activities, driven customer satisfaction and market share to all-time highs in virtually all of our markets, made our shops more interactive and exciting while becoming ever more competitive with pure-play retailers, launched a new joint venture in the US, launched a new UK mobile network, and embarked on an ambitious property plan in the UK and Ireland. We also had our biggest ever trading day on Black Friday last year. We are far from done, though. We have very ambitious plans this year which include making every one of the former Dixons stores one of the new 3-in-1 shops, introducing a lively and interactive new e-Commerce platform to Carphone Warehouse, opening Europe’s most modern distribution centre in Sweden, introducing same-day delivery, rolling out c.150 new stores in the US with Sprint, delivering our honeyBee platform to major global clients, launching our new home services division with a mandate to become a true emergency service for customers across the UK, and continuing to drive market share, price competitiveness and customer satisfaction everywhere. It is likely to be busy. I am truly grateful to all of my colleagues – right across the world – for their hard work and dedication. I am also very proud to be able to say that I work alongside such a creative and dedicated group of men and women. Finally, the nation has spoken and there has been a vote to exit the EU in due course. As you can imagine, we have been giving some thought to this. Our view is that, as the strongest player in our market and despite the volatility that is the inevitable consequence of such change, we expect to find opportunities for additional growth and further consolidate our position as the leader in the UK market.” Sebastian James Group Chief Executive 28 June 2016 Cautionary statement Certain statements made in this Annual Report and Accounts are forward looking.

  • Talktalk Response to Issues Statement
    Response to the CMA's Issues Statement TalkTalk submission Redacted version August 2015 1 Introduction 1.1 This submission responds to the CMA's Issues Statement in the BT/ EE merger. TalkTalk is pleased to have the opportunity to respond in this way. The points that we make in this letter should be taken alongside those that we have made in our earlier submissions, our questionnaire responses, and our oral hearing with the CMA. It deals with the various areas considered by the Issues Statement in the order in which the CMA makes them. 1.2 Where TalkTalk has not commented on a particular issue in this submission, this should not be taken as implying that TalkTalk holds any particular view on the issue. Where we have previously commented on such an issue, our previous comments on that topic should be taken to stand. TalkTalk would be happy to expand further on any of the points made in this submission if the CMA would find it helpful. 2 Market definition 2.1 TalkTalk considers that business and domestic customers should be considered to be in different markets. This is reflected in the organisational structure both of TalkTalk (which has separate TalkTalk Business and TalkTalk Consumer divisions) and of BT (which has split BT Consumer from BT Business). Moreover the competitor set and market structure differs radically between business and consumer markets– notably, Sky are not active in business markets, while BT holds a much higher market share, one which could be consistent with a dominant position, in business markets. 2.2 With regard to quadplay, TalkTalk considers that the market is currently in a dynamic state in which market definitions are changing over time.1 At present, the market definition is probably best seen as being one where there are individual markets for TV and mobile, along with one or more markets in fixed line.
