Telenor cuts FY revenue outlook as growth slows in Q3

2013-10-31 08:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telenor has cut its sales growth outlook for the year, after growth slowed to 1 percent in the third quarter. It now expects annual organic revenue growth of 1-2 percent, down from an earlier outlook of 2-4 percent. Revenues were weaker-than-expected in its home market Norway, and restructuring is needed in Denmark, Telenor said. Revenues were also impacted its decision to scale back operations in India. The company maintained its EBITDA margin target of 34 percent in 2013, after a result of 37.1 percent in Q3. Total revenues reached NOK 25.95 billion in Q3, up from NOK 25.25 billion a year earlier, and EBITDA rose to NOK 9.62 billion from NOK 8.82 billion. The net profit increased to NOK 3.92 billion from NOK 3.65 billion, helped by a stronger contribution from the company's stake in Vimpelcom. Capex increased slightly to NOK 5.59 billion, and operating cash flow was also higher, at NOK 5.89 billion. Telenor said full-year capex will be at the high end of its earlier forecast, at 13-14 percent of revenue excluding licence and spectrum costs.
