Brussels, 22 July 2013 – Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first half year of 2013. It was primarily during the course of the second quarter that the results were penalised by the decrease in prices on the mobile telephony market. The implementation of the new telecom law and the duopolistic situation of the fixed operators led to an accelerated price decrease of 20 % of the market price for mobile telephony during the last 12 months (Study BIPT).

Brussels, 22 April 2013 – Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first quarter of 2013. The total consolidated turnover of the Mobistar group amounted to 393 million euros at the end of March 2013, 1.6 % lower than the year before, primarily due to the effect of the regulations for an amount of 15 million euros. The total number of customers of the Mobistar group rose by 6.4 %, by the growth of the MVNO’s and this despite the large-scale movements in the telecoms market resulting from the new telecom law. Mobistar is continuing its investments in the quality of the network in order to improve the coverage, the speed and the reliability of the services. These investments amounted 31.2 million euros in the first quarter of 2013, or 25.8 % more than the year before. Mobistar reconfirms its “SuperMobile 2013-2015” investment programme and decided to increase the ambition of its efficiency program ACE 2 from 30 to 50 million euro net savings as of 2014.

Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first nine months of 2012. These results are in line with the forecasts, despite the impact of the regulation on the turnover and EBITDA of the Mobistar group. The new Animals mobile subscriptions, launched last April, already convinced 335,000 customers by the end of September 2012. During the course of the third quarter of 2012, Mobistar also launched several initiatives designed to better serve its customers, and the improvement of the fixed lines activation process will allow Mobistar to relaunch its commercial efforts in this segment during the fourth quarter of 2012. These different initiatives made it possible to partially offset the impact of the reduction in the roaming and mobile termination rates, which amounts to 41.6 million euros on the consolidated turnover and 21.5 million euros on the EBITDA of the group for the first nine months of 2012. During the meeting of 19 October,  the Board of Directors decided to reorient the IT modernisation programme so as to better adapt it to the market evolutions. This reorientation will give rise to accelerated depreciations of the IT infrastructure involved for a gross amount of at most 20 million euros in the fourth quarter of 2012. The Mobistar group maintains its forecasts for the 2012 financial year, except for the accounting impact of these accelerated depreciations on the net result only and without impact on the cash flow.  

Today, Mobistar (Euronext Brussels: MOBB) publishes its results for the first half year of 2012. These results are in line with the guidance. Without regulatory impact, the consolidated turnover of the Mobistar group would have been stable compared to the first semester of 2011 (+0.5 %). The success of the new mobile offers launched in April which have already seduced over more than 160,000 Belgians, and the many initiatives taken by Mobistar to improve the customer service, enable Mobistar to be confident for the future. The upgrade of the activation platform for fixed-line customers realized during this semester will facilitate the relaunch of the commercial efforts on this segment during the coming months. Mobistar is also announcing the launch of the ACE (Agility – Cost – Execution) programme, which is designed to realize a gross saving of at least 100 million euros cumulated between 2013 and 2015.

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.

Today, Mobistar publishes its results for the full financial year 2011. Despite a very competitive market context and the impact of regulations, the Mobistar group was able to reach its targets.

Today, Mobistar publishes its results for the third quarter that ended on 30 September 2011. The number of customers for Mobistar mobile postpaid, mobile Internet, machine-to-machine activities and fixed telephony services in Belgium continues to grow. The results are once again squeezed by the impact of regulation (69 million euros on turnover and 33 million euros on EBITDA). The group confirms its financial forecasts for the 2011 financial year.
