(Telecompaper) KPN reported fourth-quarter revenues flat at EUR 2.07 billion. One-time income including a tax credit of EUR 44 million offset a 2.1 percent drop in underlying sales. EBITDA fell by 3.0 percent to EUR 669 million, and the margin was down 1 percent point to 32.4 percent. EBIT roughly doubled compared to a year earlier to EUR 218 million, and the net loss narrowed to EUR 37 million, impacted by costs for repurchasing debt. Capex increased 17 percent to EUR 482 million, resulting in negative free cash flow of EUR 199 million. Excluding one-time items, free cash flow would have reached EUR 405 million in 2014. Capex over the full year totaled EUR 1.41 billion, slightly above KPN's forecast for less than EUR 1.4 billion. KPN said 2014 was a transformation year, with the sale of E-Plus, acquisition of Reggefiber and new management appointed. Results started to stabilise towards the end of the year and the Dutch operator expects this to continue in the coming quarters. For 2015, the company forecast stable EBITDA by year-end, cost savings of over EUR 400 million (up from EUR 300 million previously), capex of less than EUR 1.4 billion (down from less than EUR 1.5 billion earlier), cash flow higher than the adjusted EUR 405 million in 2014 (excluding any dividend from Telefonica Deutschland) and an increase in the dividend to 8 cents from 7, with a further increase in 2016. In Belgium, KPN plans to reduce investments and target a margin of 25-30 percent in the medium term.
