Tele2 Capital Market Day 2009: New financial targets for Tele2's mobile operations in Sweden
Stockholm - Tele2 AB, ("Tele2"), (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B), today announced new financial targets for its Swedish mobile operations.
Tele2's mobile operations in Sweden will target a higher market share in the postpaid segment, with the aim to improve the long-term customer lifetime value. In the short term, the strategy will lead to higher total acquisition costs, resulting in an EBITDA margin moving towards 30 percent in 2010.
Harri Koponen, President and CEO of Tele2, comments: "We are the number one in the Swedish prepaid market. To improve the growth profile of our company, we need to increase our efforts in the postpaid arena. I strongly believe that the long-term benefits will significantly offset the short-term investments in a higher-value customer base."
