Regulatory press release Tele2 Group Apr 24 2019, 7:00 AM CET

Interim Report First Quarter 2019

Stockholm – Tele2 AB (“Tele2”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B) today announces its consolidated results for the first quarter 2019.

CEO comment by Anders Nilsson
“In the first quarter of 2019 we started laying the foundation for future growth. We launched Com Hem mobile as a new growth driver and continued to see early progress on our FMC strategy with 45,000 customers now on FMC-offers. We are on track to reach our full year guidance with flat end-user service revenue and strong growth in underlying EBITDA excluding IFRS 16. This is largely driven by the integration and cost restructuring process which is well under way.”

Highlights

  • Revenue of SEK 7.2 billion (5.4), representing organic decline of -1 percent
  • End-user service revenue of SEK 5.3 billion, stable on an organic basis
  • Organic growth of 8 percent in underlying EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 for the Group
  • Organic growth of 5 percent in underlying EBITDA excluding IFRS 16 in Sweden, mainly driven by initial synergies from the Com Hem merger
  • Profit after financial items (EBT) was SEK 1.0 billion (0.8)
  • Earnings per share after dilution was SEK 1.11 (1.24)
  • Cost synergies reached an annualized run rate of SEK 300 million at the end of Q1
  • Com Hem mobile was launched during the quarter
  • Financial guidance unchanged
