Although revenue for the first 6 months of 2011 decreased by 4.4 per cent compared to the same period in 2010, the Company managed to reach good profitability by accordingly reducing its costs. EBITDA margin stands at a high 40.8 per cent, which is only by 0.4 percentage points lower than it was during the same period in 2010. TEO continues its investments into the next generation fiber optic network. Although the broadband customer base increased by around 8 per cent, due to high competition and market penetration strategy revenue from Internet services was slightly lower than a year ago. Revenue from TV services was by 26 per cent higher than for the same period in 2010. New customers' acquisition rate remains high - TEO had 25 per cent more TV customers than it had in the middle of 2010. The upcoming switchover to digital television signal transmission in 2012 gives TEO a good opportunity for further increase of its pay-TV customer base.” ENCL.: - TEO LT, AB Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Consolidated Interim Report for the six months period ended 30 June 2011. - Presentation of TEO LT, AB results for the six months of 2011.
