Telia Lietuva, AB






Historical milestone was reached during the second quarter of 2023. Telia Lietuva has completed the upgrade of its entire mobile network with Ericsson equipment and covered 99 per cent of Lithuania's population with 5G broadband. This early coverage of the entire country will not only benefit the population but also help Lithuania stand out in the international context.
5G connectivity today is much more than just faster internet. Its availability has become an indicator of how well-developed countries are and reaching 99 per cent 5G coverage has put us among Europe's elite. For each of us, this opens new spaces to work, opportunities to dive into virtual reality from any corner of Lithuania, or maybe even to see a robot delivering groceries rolling into our backyard. With such a well-developed 5G network, Lithuania is much more attractive to investors and developers of future technologies.
Lithuania's 5G success story is also special because it was "written" in record time. Protracted negotiations with neighboring countries on 5G frequencies pushed Lithuania into the last European 5G wagon, and commercial frequency auctions were only held in fall of 2022. Nevertheless, Telia Lietuva prepared in advance and on the very first day of the 5G switch-on in September 2022, 80 per cent of the country's population was immediately able to use next-generation connectivity on the Company's network.
Telia Lietuva currently has 1,650 mobile 5G base stations in Lithuania and for the time being shows unwavering leadership in 5G deployment in Lithuania.
New 5G connectivity is up to 10 times more energy efficient in terms of the amount of data it transmits, which is particularly important in view of the ever-increasing volume of data and our goal of achieving zero CO2 emissions in its operations by 2030.
In June, we introduced Voice over Wi-Fi technology - a novelty on the Lithuanian market. The service provides the possibility to make voice calls where the mobile network signal is weak or is not available.
Voice over Wi-Fi and other latest IT and telco technologies as well as the most modern equipment were employed by the Company to ensure an interrupted connectivity and operation of 1,200 workplaces media centre during the historic NATO summit in Vilnius in July 2023.
The number of DDoS attacks on state and private institutions during the NATO summit once again reveals the importance of cyber security solutions provided by Telia Lietuva.
Rapid deployment of 5G network and growing usage of mobile data using both 4G and 5G connectivity led to a double-digit increase in revenue from billed mobile communication services. Revenue from IT services continues to surge, too. Lower energy prices and successful control of other expenses resulted in record high EBITDA for the second quarter of 2023.
At the Annual General Meeting shareholders approved a pay-out of EUR 0.06 dividend per share (in total EUR 34.9 million) for the year 2022. Also, shareholders re-elected members of the Board for a new 2-year term and appointed Deloitte Lietuva as the Company auditor for the years 2023 and 2024. In June, members of the Board re-elected Dan Strömberg as Chair of the Board.

Revenue increase was mainly driven by a double-digit growth in revenue from billed mobile communication and IT services.
During January-June of 2023, the number of post-paid mobile communication service subscriptions increased by 10 thousand, while the number of pre-paid service subscription went down by 3 thousand. Over the last 12 months, the total number of active mobile subscriptions went up by 29 thousand. Larger customer base, 99 per cent of Lithuania's population being covered by the 5G network and continuously growing usage of mobile data led to stable double-digit growth of revenue from billed mobile services.
According to the Company statistics, currently one fourth of smart gadgets connected to Telia Lietuva network supports the next generation connectivity and from the beginning of 2023 usage of 5G mobile data in the Company's network has tripled accounting for the tenth of the total mobile data flow.
Revenue from other mobile services for the first half of 2023 compared with the same period a year ago went down by 31.2 per cent due to mobile interconnect prices regulation and lower stream of revenue from incoming mobile roaming services.
During the first 6 months of 2023, the number of fixed telephony lines eased by 12 thousand, while over the last 12 months it went down by 27 thousand. Revenue from voice transit service during January-June of 2023 was 14.5 per cent higher than a year ago and compensated decline of 13.6 per cent in revenue from retail voice telephony services caused by lower number of fixed telephony customers.
The Company introduced a new service – Voice over Wi-Fi. The service provides a possibility to make voice calls where signal of mobile network is weak or does not reach.
During January-June of 2023, the number of broadband Internet access users over fiber-optic network using FTTH/B technologies increased by 1 thousand, while the number of broadband Internet service users over the copper DSL connections went down by 1 thousand. Over the last 12 months, the number of Internet connections over the fiber-optic network increased by 5 thousand, while the number of copper DSL connections eased by 2 thousand. Over the year, the total net increase in number of broadband Internet users was 3 thousand.
By employing the Company's 5G network covering 99 per cent of population speedy Internet with fixed wireless access solution is available even in remote and rural areas.
The number of television service users during the first half of 2023 went up by 1 thousand, while over the last 12 months – by 4 thousand. The number of subscribers has recovered after the cut off of Russian TV channels in spring 2022, while Telia Play service became available to anyone via any screen regardless of access provider.
Revenue from IT services continuously showed a doubledigit growth. Telia Lietuva was providing communication and IT services during the NATO summit in Vilnius in July 2023.
Equipment sale growth was fueled by strong demand for flagship mobile gadgets introduced in 2023 and implementation of some business customers' projects.
Revenue from other services consists of the nontelecommunication services such as lease of premises, discount refunds and other.
Gain or loss from sale of property, plant and equipment, as well as gain or loss on currency exchange is recorded at net value as other gain (loss).

According to the Reports of the Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), the Lithuanian electronic communications market in terms of revenue in the first quarter of 2023 eased by 0.1 per cent compared with the fourth quarter of 2022, while compared with the first quarter of 2022 increased by 5.8 per cent and amounted to EUR 205.2 million..

The Company participates in reverse factoring or Supplier Invoice Financing (SIF) program where suppliers' invoices are paid by the banks within 7 days for an agreed fee which is covered by supplier. The Company does not pay any credit fees and does not provide any additional collateral or guarantee to the banks. The Company pays to the banks full invoice amount in up to one-year period (actual term depends on few variables agreed between all three parties). Due to increase of Euribor interest rate the payment to the banks terms has shortened and that led to decrease in total amount of liabilities under reverse factoring agreements and had a negative impact on the Company's cash flow.
On 27 April 2023, the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders allocated from the Company's distributable profit of EUR 142 million to allocate EUR 35 million for the payment of dividends for the year 2022, i.e. EUR 0.06 dividend per share, and carry forward to the next financial year an amount of EUR 107 million as retained earnings (undistributed profit)..

The Company's Risk management policy describes the risk as uncertainty that might significantly influence the Company's goals and level of achievement of expected results. The Company distinguishes the following risks: risk of business discontinuation, security risk, reputational risk, financial risk, regulatory risk, ethics and sustainability risk as well as operational risk.
The Company's risk management is based on the requirements of ISO 31000 standard and COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission) Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) system. The Company has a business-oriented risk management process, following which potential threats to business are indicated and plans for prevention of business discontinuity and crises situation management are set. Risk management is fully integrated into business planning and control processes.
The risk management includes internal and external environment of the Company, distinguishing, but not limiting to, the following main risk management areas of internal environment: finance management, information management, information technologies, resources management, revenue assurance, services and customer care, personnel, processes management, strategy and network management, as well as external environment: ecology, economic conditions, competition, political, sociocultural, technology, legal and regulatory, suppliers and customers.
By combining related areas, the Company has a set of rules and best practices for risk management in such areas as resource risk management, network risk management, revenue assurance risk management, services and customer care risk management, information risk management, business relations, reputation and market risk management, legal risk management and corruption risk management.
The Company's activities expose it to the following financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, and cash flow and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk. The Group's Financial Management Policy focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects of the financial performance of the Company.
The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk is not substantial as Telia Lietuva operates in the euro zone and majority of services are provided to residents and businesses in Lithuania as well as majority of services and goods are purchased from local or euro zone suppliers. Certain foreign exchange risk exposure arises from the Company's international activities with foreign telecommunication operators and suppliers from outside the euro zone and is primarily related to settlements in US Dollars. The Company's trade payables and trade receivables in foreign currency are short-term and insignificant in comparison with settlements in euro. The Company manages foreign exchange risk by minimising the net exposure to open foreign currency position, therefore no foreign exchange hedging instruments is used.
Starting from 2022, the Company's income and operating cash flows became dependent of changes in market interest rates. The outstanding EUR 30 million loan provided by SEB Bank, Danske Bank and Nordea Bank shall be repaid in May 2024. Interest rates of this syndicated loan are set semi-annually and are based on a 6 months EURIBOR interest rate. During the first half of 2023, the Company had borrowed in total EUR 65 million from its parent company, Telia Company AB. Interest rate are set based on 3 or 6 months EURIBOR interest rate. The Company does not use any interest rate hedging tools.
The Company is a part of reverse factoring or Supplier Invoice Financing (SIF) program where suppliers' invoices are paid by third party banks within 7 days for an agreed fee which is covered by supplier. The Company does not pay any credit fees and does not provide any additional collateral or guarantee to the banks. The Company pays banks full invoice amount in up to one-year period. The actual term depends on few variables agreed between all three parties. The one of the variables is EURIBOR interest rate which started to grow in spring of 2022 and consequently caused shortening of the term and had negative impact on the Company working capital and cash flow. To mitigate the impact of rising interest rate the Company is in the process of renegotiating conditions of SIF program.
The Company's financial assets' exposure to credit risk is related to cash deposits and trade receivables. Credit risk of cash deposits is managed by limiting the cash exposure to financial institutions with lower than A (according to Fitch or equivalent by Standard & Poor's or Moody's) long-term credit ratings. As of 30 June 2023, majority (92 per cent) of the Company's cash was held in A+ rated banks.
The Company has a Participation Agreement with Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken (SEB) for customer receivables. Under agreement SEB acquired the rights to the cash flows for certain pools of Telia Lietuva's receivables from the sales of handsets to residential customers. The objective of the agreement is to improve the Company's working capital by achieving derecognition of the receivables by transferring the risk related to the receivables to SEB with the use of the so called "passthrough" rules in IFRS 9 Financial instruments.
To manage credit risk of trade receivables the Company checks the creditworthiness of all customers (business and residential) before signing any new contracts, except for low value contracts, e.g., additional TV packaged or other value-added services (VAS). Customers' invoices payment control consists of a few various reminders starting with a notification before due date and then additional reminders after due date are sent. Services are limited after 20 days past due, and contract is terminated, and penalties issued after 50 days past due. Residential customers' bad debts after sending additional reminding letters are sold or handed over to external bad debt collection agencies for debt recovery.
Liquidity risk relates to the availability of sufficient funds for the Company debt service, capital expenditure, working capital requirement and dividend pay-out. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents. The goal of the Company's liquidity risk management is to ensure that minimum liquidity position (calculated as cash and cash equivalents plus undrawn committed credit facilities) should at any time exceed the level of 2 per cent of the annual revenue. During January-June of 2023, the Company's liquidity position on average amounted to 2.7 per cent of the annual revenue, except for 30 June 2023, when liquidity position felt below 2 per cent due to higher volume of invoices paid at the end of quarter.




To mitigate liquidity risk, the Company in January 2023 had signed an agreement with the largest shareholder of the Company, Telia Company AB, regarding Revolving Credit Facility that provides the Company with the possibility to borrow any amount up to total limit of EUR 65 million for 3 or 6 months within 2 business days.
The Company's financial risk management is carried out by employees of Finance unit of the Company under Telia Company Group policies in close co-operation with Telia Company Group Treasury. More information about the Company's financial risk management is provided in Note 3 of the Company's Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.
Security and integrity are of highest priority to Telia Company Group including Telia Lietuva. As a part of that we constantly evaluate and assess all partners and suppliers. We always oversee the construction and operation of our networks, and we are constantly focused on security and that applies to all suppliers.

As of 30 June 2023, the phasing out of Huawei equipment from the Company's mobile network is completed.
Starting from 2022, the Company was facing the specific negative impact from raising energy prices as the Company is providing electricity-based means of communication and services. To mitigate the risk of rising energy prices the Company has hedged some of its electricity contracts. Also, high inflation in the country caused increase in prices of some services and goods purchased by the Company. The instability of international supply chains initially caused by COVID-19 and in 2022 was affected by the breakout of the war in Ukraine, is settling down.
To satisfy increased demand for cloud computing services, the Company had purchased a 2-hectare land plot near Vilnius, where it will build a new data center. The Company plans to invest EUR 10 million into construction of the largest data centre in the country. At the same time, the Company will continue renovations and expansion of the existing data centers.

strive to have the most engaged employees. Without our ability to identify, hire and retain the best people, we would lose some of our unique culture and competitive edge.
People Policy defines the Company's expectations of the employees as well as what expectations our employees shall have of each other and on the Company as their employer. The policy does not form part of any employee's contract of employment and may change from time to time at the discretion of the Company.
The Telia Code of Conduct is designed to inspire and guide us in our everyday work, serving as our ethical compass as we travel forward. The Telia Code applies to Telia employees, board members, members of our extended workforce – such as suppliers, consultants, freelance and temporary workers – and anyone else who works or provides services for or on behalf of Telia.

The protection and improvement of the health, safety and well-being of everyone who works for or with the Company, is a guiding principle in all our operations. This definition includes our employees, contractors, suppliers and visitors. Our common approach is built on promoting good health, well-being and safe work conditions, preventing occupational risks and ill health, and rapidly reacting to injuries and unsafe conditions. This applies to both physical and psycho-social work aspects.
The Company's occupational health and safety (OHS) management system covers all requirements of ISO 45001 standard. The certificate of compliance with Occupational health and safety (ISO 45001) standard was obtained by the Company in October 2017.

New project:





Every year, the Social Employment Agency implements the international "DUOday" initiative, which aims to change attitudes about the opportunities for people with disabilities to work and to open up more opportunities for these people to integrate into the labor market. On May 25 we invited people with disabilities to try out 13 different job positions, from a shop consultant to a data migration manager for mobile services.


In preparation for Pride Month, we have been actively engaging our colleagues via our internal channels - sharing intranet articles and inviting them to join various activities. In our main office (Saltoniškių str. 7A) we had decorated speed gate & piano in the foyer in Pride colors. Also, Telia employees joined the 'Vilnius Pride' march.
We have updated Telia's Code of Conduct, which is designed to guide all employees, managers and board members – as well as all staff working in Telia's operations such as contractors, consultants and freelancers. It also influences our third-party relationships and contractual agreements. The Telia Code of Conduct is designed to inspire and guide us in our everyday work, serving as our ethical compass as we travel forward.
In the creative ideas contest "Phonebooths are back" organized by Telia, the commission selected winners from more than 130 applications and will give 15 used payphone booths as gifts. They will soon turn into art galleries in Vilnius, information centers on the seashore, a cinema, a workplace for dreamers on the roof, a bus stop for children, and many more great ideas which will be implemented this year by the competition winners.

As at 1 January 2009, amendments to Law on Corporate Profit Tax came into effect which provides tax relief for investments in new technologies. As a result, the Company's calculated profit tax relief amounts for 2023 to EUR 1.8 million (2022: EUR 1.8 million). Investments in new technologies are capitalised as property, plant and equipment, and their depreciation is deductible for tax purposes, therefore, the tax relief does not create any deferred tax liability.
The tax authorities may at any time inspect the books and records within 3 years from the end of the year when tax declaration was submitted and may impose additional tax assessments with penalty interest and penalties.
The Company's management is not aware of any circumstances, which may give rise to a potential material liability in this respect.

Costs to obtain a contract are incremental costs incurred resulting in obtaining a contract with a customer, where the Company would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. These costs are typically external commissions paid or internal commission or bonus paid related to obtaining a new contract. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average customer life period, assessed at a portfolio level. If the Company pays a significant commission on contract renewal, the asset is amortized over the minimum contract term.

The Company provisions movement during January-June 2023:
The Company leases land for the construction of mobile stations. Upon expiry of the lease term the mobile stations should be disassembled and land restored so that it could be returned to the land owner in a condition it was before the lease. Similarly, the Company has telecommunication equipment installed in the premises or on the buildings leased from third parties. This equipment will have to be disassembled when the lease agreement expires. To cover these estimated future costs, assets retirement obligation has been recognized. The Company expects that assets retirement obligation will be realized later than after one year. Therefore, the whole amount of assets retirement obligation has been classified as non-current provision for other liabilities and charges.
