2016-07-19 08:35:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telenor has lowered its annual sales growth outlook and improved its EBITDA margin target, after a mixed performance across its operations in Q2. Revenues rose slightly to NOK 32.48 billion from NOK 31.41 billion a year ago, with growth held back by difficult market conditions in Thailand and Malaysia. Organic mobile service revenue was up 4 percent, while handset sales were lower. The company now expects to report organic revenue growth of just 1-2 percent over the full year, compared to its previous forecast of 2-4 percent. However, Telenor raised its EBITDA margin target to around 35 percent, from 33-34 percent previously, after an improvement in Q2 to 35.5 percent from 34.1 a year ago. Total EBITDA rose to NOK 11.55 billion from NOK 10.70 billion, helped by the contribution from Myanmar, which is already reporting positive cash flow. T
