Brussels, 7 February 2007 - Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) has published its results for the fiscal year 2006. Despite increased competition, Mobistar can present a strong commercial result.

This net growth is mainly the result of an increase in the number of postpaid customers, which has continued to grow as a proportion of the customer base to reach 51.4 %. This growth has enabled Mobistar to increase its monthly Average Revenue Per User by 1.9 % (ARPU ) to 38.75 euros. As a result of the strong growth in the number of customers and the rise in the ARPU, consolidated turnover has increased by 6.6 % to 1,546.8 million euros. Cost saving initiatives and the optimisation of the organisation have enabled Mobistar to make a noticeable improvement in the EBITDA, which has reached 614.6 million euros, an increase of 6.9 %. Net profit has risen by 10.8 % to 299.5 million euros, or 4.73 euros per share.
