Liberty Global breaks even in Q1, revenues up 9%
2013-05-07 09:05:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Liberty Global reported first-quarter revenues up 9 percent from a year earlier to USD 2.77 billion, led by double-digit growth in Germany and Belgium. Operating cash flow rose 6 percent to USD 1.27 billion, and operating profit was up 6 percent to USD 525 million. The net result was breakeven, after a loss of USD 25 million a year earlier. The cable operator finished the period with a total 35.2 million revenue-generating units, up by 373,00 from three months earlier. That includes gains of 70,000 in central and eastern Europe, 63,000 in Latin America and 240,000 in western Europe. Over 30 percent of the customer base subscribed to triple-play packages at the end of March. Liberty said it also had over 200,000 subscribers for its Horizon TV platform, launched last year in the Netherlands and in Switzerland in January. Horizon will launch in Ireland this summer and Germany later in the year. The company also expects to complete its takeover of the UK's Virgin Media in the second quarter, after a shareholder vote in early June. In addition, it has increased its stake in Dutch cable operator Ziggo to 18.2 percent. Liberty said it still expects to have sufficient cash after the takeover to complete its USD 3.5 billion share buyback in the coming two years. The company generated free cash flow of USD 28 million in Q1, after capex of USD 504 million. Total cash was USD 2.9 billion at the end of March.

Belgacom Q1 revenues flat, EBITDA falls 6%
2013-05-03 10:56:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Belgacom reported first-quarter sales down 0.1 percent to EUR 1.586 billion. Excluding the impact of regulatory measures, which took an estimated 1.5 percent off revenues, group sales were up 1.4 percent from a year earlier, mainly due to growth in international wholesale services (BICS) and a one-time gain on real estate. Mobile revenues in the business and consumer segments remained under pressure, which was only partially compensated by growth in TV and ICT services. The operator's EBITDA fell by 6.1 percent year-on-year to EUR 441 million; excluding regulation, the decline was 2.9 percent, hurt by pressure on gross margins and higher personnel costs. This was offset in part by better control of non-personnel costs. Capex totaled EUR 193 million in the first three months of the year. This went to investments in higher speeds on the mobile and fixed networks and programmes to rationalise IT and network ifnrastructure. Free cash flow of EUR 89 million was dampened by higher taxes and investment and working capital costs.
