Wed, 22 Apr 2015 22:00:00 GMT

Brussels, 23 April 2015 – Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first quarter of 2015.

Mobistar’s strategy to create levers for growth continued in the first quarter of 2015, while the company is also increasing its focus on value management. This strategic direction is in particular reinforced by the monetisation of data usage driven by the solid uptake of 4G smartphones across all markets:

Mobistar’s leading position in terms of 4G coverage has once again been confirmed by a Commsquare study in the first quarter of 2015
Mobistar’s 4G postpaid customer base grew 19 % in the first quarter versus the end of 2014, reaching 1 out of 4 postpaid customers

Mobistar’s blended ARPU in Belgium increased for the second time in a row, to 23.9 euros in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 23.4 euros a year ago, an increase of 2.0 %. The postpaid ARPU even grew by 3.8 % year-on-year versus +1.8 % in the previous quarter, which is the result of Mobistar’s focus on value management.

Mobistar will launch its own very high speed broadband internet & digital TV cable services in Belgium after the regulators have published the consultation document governing an acceptable application of the retail-minus pricing mechanism.

The solid results of the first quarter of 2015 enable Mobistar to keep its outlook unchanged for the full year 2015. Mobistar achieved in the first quarter:

Service revenues of 270 million euros, -2.8 % yoy, (-0.6 % excl. reg.);
A restated EBITDA of 70 million euros, +5.6 % yoy (+12.4 % excl. reg.);

Brussels, 22 July 2013 – Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first half year of 2013.

Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:00:00 GMT

Brussels, 22 April 2013 – Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first quarter of 2013. The total consolidated turnover of the Mobistar group amounted to 393 million euros at the end of March 2013, 1.6 % lower than the year before, primarily due to the effect of the regulations for an amount of 15 million euros. The total number of customers of the Mobistar group rose by 6.4 %, by the growth of the MVNO’s and this despite the large-scale movements in the telecoms market resulting from the new telecom law. Mobistar is continuing its investments in the quality of the network in order to improve the coverage, the speed and the reliability of the services. These investments amounted 31.2 million euros in the first quarter of 2013, or 25.8 % more than the year before. Mobistar reconfirms its “SuperMobile 2013-2015” investment programme and decided to increase the ambition of its efficiency program ACE 2 from 30 to 50 million euro net savings as of 2014.

The consolidated EBITDA amounted to 494.1 million euros and the net result 185.7 million euros. The results of the Mobistar group are in line with the targets set, which took account of the impact of the regulations and the introduction of the new telecom law on 1st October 2012. Mobistar is today presenting its new “SuperMobile 2013-2015” investment programme.

The Mobistar group posts 4 % growth in its mobile customer base and an increase of 1.4 % in its revenues except regulation

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 22:00:00 GMT

Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first nine months of 2012. These results are in line with the forecasts, despite the impact of the regulation on the turnover and EBITDA of the Mobistar group. The new Animals mobile subscriptions, launched last April, already convinced 335,000 customers by the end of September 2012. During the course of the third quarter of 2012, Mobistar also launched several initiatives designed to better serve its customers, and the improvement of the fixed lines activation process will allow Mobistar to relaunch its commercial efforts in this segment during the fourth quarter of 2012. These different initiatives made it possible to partially offset the impact of the reduction in the roaming and mobile termination rates, which amounts to 41.6 million euros on the consolidated turnover and 21.5 million euros on the EBITDA of the group for the first nine months of 2012. During the meeting of 19 October, the Board of Directors decided to reorient the IT modernisation programme so as to better adapt it to the market evolutions. This reorientation will give rise to accelerated depreciations of the IT infrastructure involved for a gross amount of at most 20 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Mobistar group maintains its forecasts for the 2012 financial year, except for the accounting impact of these accelerated depreciations on the net result only and without impact on the cash flow.

The success of the new mobile offers launched in April which have already seduced over more than 160,000 Belgians, and the many initiatives taken by Mobistar to improve the customer service, enable Mobistar to be confident for the future. The upgrade of the activation platform for fixed-line customers realized during this semester will facilitate the relaunch of the commercial efforts on this segment during the coming months. Mobistar is also announcing the launch of the ACE (Agility – Cost – Execution) programme, which is designed to realize a gross saving of at least 100 million euros cumulated between 2013 and 2015.
