Egypt: TE scores 44 percent YOY increase
(MENAFN)Telecom Egypt (TE) has scored a 33% year-on-year increase in consolidated revenues in the year to 31 December 2017, attributed to significantly higher turnover from its wholesale services, which was bolstered by the devaluation of the Egyptian pound against the US dollar, telegeography reported.
With the telco reporting a total turnover of EGP18.6 billion (USD1.1 billion) for FY 2017, it noted that even when normalizing for the foreign exchange impact, it still scored revenue growth of 13% y-o-y. EBITDA in the twelve-month period under review was up 36% at EGP5.2 billion, with an EBITDA margin of 28% (FY 2016: 27%).
Meanwhile, net profit for FY 2017 added up to EGP3.2 billion, representing annualized increase of 18% from the EGP2.7 billion reported a year earlier.
In operational terms, at the end of December 2017 TE had 4.07 million broadband subscribers on its books, up from 3.38 million a year earlier, while fixed voice accesses reached 7.15 million, up from 6.46 million.
