Highlights • On 4 January 2011, OTH sold its entire shareholding in Orascom Tunisia Holding and Carthage Consortium through which OTH owned 50% of Orascom Telecom Tunisia (“OTT”). As a result the proportionate consolidation of OTT during Q4 is no longer applicable under IFRS as it renders the entity an investment held for sale, and consequently a discontinued operation under IFRS rules. Figures for 2009 and 9M 2010 have been restated to reflect the accounting treatment of OTT. • Total subscribers exceeded 101 million, an increase of 16% over the same period last year. • Net Income before minority interest showed a sharp increase of 106% compared to the same period last year, reaching US$ 781 million1 for the period ending December 31st, 2010, mainly due to the gain recognized on the Mobinil transaction by comparing the carrying amount of the investments in Mobinil and ECMS to the relevant fair value, taking into consideration the net proceeds from the transaction for the global settlement fee amounting to US$300 million. • Revenues reached US$ 3,825 million1, increasing by 2% over the previous year as a result of strong growth in all GSM operations, with the exception of Algeria.
