On a country basis, Greece total revenues increased by 1.5% to Euro 2.887,6 million, result of solid performance in both fixed broadband which benefited from the impressive take up of fiber services as well as from mobile operations. Mobile Service revenues in Greece were down 1.6% in 2018 reflecting the adoption of IFRS 15; excluding this factor mobile service revenues posted an increase of 1.3%. Mobile service revenue growth, for a second consecutive year, was driven by the increase in data services, and visitor’s roaming. Revenues from wholesale business were also up in Greece mainly reflecting higher international transit. In Romania, total revenues reached Euro 933.2 million in 2018, decreased by 4.0% compared to 2017, reflecting the continuing pressure from retail fixed services. Revenues from mobile in Romania remained relatively flat compared to prior year. Total Operating Expenses for the Group, excluding depreciation, amortization, impairment and charges related to voluntary leave schemes, other restructuring costs and non-recurring litigations amounted to Euro 2,564.9 million in 2018, posting a slight increase compared to 2017, of 0.5%. Disciplined cost management across the Group and the beneficial impact of recent voluntary leave schemes, was offset by an increase in bad debt provisions, chiefly arising from Romanian operations 7 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS In 2018, the Group’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by 1.7% to Euro 1,316.8 million. In Greece, Adjusted EBITDA increased by 4.0% reaching Euro 1,180.5 million. The Adjusted EBITDA margin of 40.9% was up 100 basis points compared to 2017. In Romania, Adjusted EBITDA totaled to Euro 136.3 million decreased by 14.9%. Group expenses for depreciation, amortization and impairment stood at Euro 755.7 million, a 10.0% drop or Euro 84.2 million decrease, reflecting significant impairments in 2017 in the Group’s international operations. The Group reported Operating profit before financial and investing activities stood at Euro 495.2mn, compared to Euro 396.7mn in 2017. The increase in Operating Profit mainly reflects the improved performance in Adjusted EBITDA as well as the sharp drop in Depreciation and Amortization. Interest and related expenses stood at Euro 86.1 million, down 38.1%, mainly reflecting the lower outstanding debt and the improved borrowing rates. The Group’s Income Tax expense stood at Euro 165.8 million in 2018, increased compared to 2017 by 12.3%, mainly reflecting the impact of the decreasing income tax rate in Greece on the deferred tax assets of the Group. Profit for the year from continuing operations (attributable to owners of the parent) stood at Euro 256.5 million in 2018, compared to Euro 169.3 million recorded in 2017. In 2018, Adjusted Free Cash Flow stood at Euro 344.7 million increased by 273.9% compared to 2017, primarily reflecting increased profitability, lower interest and income taxes paid, as well as lower Capex. The Group’s Adjusted Net Debt (including other financial assets) was Euro 738.8 million at December 31, 2018, almost unchanged compared to December 31, 2017. The Group’s ratio of adjusted Net Debt to adjusted EBITDA stood at 0.6x. On the 18th of January, the Board of Directors approved the Shareholder Remuneration Policy. The Policy has been defined as follows: Provided the external and the macroeconomic environment remain stable, in the mid-term the Company intends to distribute to its shareholders, through a combination of dividend payout and Share Buyback Programs for their cancelation, the free cash flow generated every year, after incorporating the considerations for spectrum acquisitions, and one-off items. The split between ordinary dividends and share buybacks is targeted approximately at 65%/35% respectively in 2018 and in the medium term. The extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders held on February 15, 2018, approved the own share buyback for up to 10% of the Company’s total paid up share capital for a period of 24 months, beginning from February 15, 2018, the date of adopting this Shareholders’ resolution.

  • BT Group PLC: Wholesale-Only Overhang
    Equity Research Telecommunications | European Telecom Services BT Group PLC 3 May 2018 Stock Rating EQUAL WEIGHT Wholesale-Only overhang from Overweight Industry View POSITIVE In a separate report published today, The Rise of Wholesale Only, we analyse the Unchanged impact Open Fiber is having in Italy and the extent to which it can be replicated Price Target GBp 280 elsewhere. Italy appears an ideal market for fostering alternative infrastructure lowered -20% from GBp 350 build (and increased retail competition). We note actual competitor builds to date in the UK have been few and far between, even if the narrative has been consistently Price (01-May-2018) GBp 245 noisy. However, we do see BT as potentially vulnerable, especially given the Potential Upside/Downside +14.3% increased focus of numerous infrastructure funds and regulatory direction. Tickers BT/A LN / BT.L Resolution of this overhang for BT looks unlikely, in our view. Reflecting this, we lower our medium-term forecasts, cut our PT to 280p and move BT to Equal Weight.

We have become accustomed to a Free Float (%) 84.31 spate of alternative FTTH build announcements in recent months from numerous 52 Wk Avg Daily Volume (mn) 22.4 players.

  • Speech Karl-Gerhard Eick
    Not to be released until: February 27, 2009, 10:00 a.m. / Start statement René Obermann – Check against delivery – Statement delivered at the press conference on Deutsche Telekom’s FY results 2008 February 27, 2009 in Bonn Dr. Karl-Gerhard Eick Member of the Board of Management Finance Deputy CEO Deutsche Telekom AG Thank you, René! I am very pleased with our full-year financial results. We achieved a turn- around in adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted net income. Ad- justed EBITDA grew by 0.7 percent to almost EUR 19.5 billion, driven by Mobile and an improved trend in domestic Broadband/Fixed Network, which came in slightly better than the original guidance range. Free cash flow im- proved to EUR 7 billion, supported by working capital, lower restructuring payments, and lower net interest payments, more than offsetting higher in- come tax payments and higher cash capex. Adjusted net income improved by 14 percent to EUR 3.4 billion due, in particular, to lower D&A. Net debt increased only modestly by EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 38.2 billion, despite EUR 4.4 billion spent on acquisitions (net of divestments), namely SunCom and OTE, and despite cash capex of EUR 8.7 billion. This is a reflection of our very strong cash flow generation. - 2 - Let me remind you that we were faced with a significant currency headwind last year. Assuming constant exchange rates revenues would have been EUR 1.3 billion higher. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA would have been EUR 0.3 billion higher. Adjusted for these currency effects and changes in the scope of consolidation, organic revenues were flat last year, while or- ganic adjusted EBITDA grew by 0.8 percent.
