Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first quarter of 2012. The results are in line with the set guidance. The consolidated turnover reached the same level as last year, although the operational and net results fell. The reduction in the mobile termination rates (MTR) in January 2012 and in the roaming tariffs in July 2011 had a negative impact on the results. For the Mobistar group, for the first quarter of 2012 this impact amounted respectively to 11.6 million euros on the turnover and 5.6 million euros on EBITDA. Mobistar is pursuing its strategy of convergent services and continues to invest in its network and its customer satisfaction.
