| MANAGEMENT CONFIRMATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 23 |
One year has already passed since we started to operate under Telia brand and offer fixed and mobile communications services from a single point. Apart of new services, such as hybrid-type Internet that combined copper line and mobile Internet technologies, the most striking evidence of the value created by the merger of fixed and mobile operations is a success of the converged offer "Telia One".
In February 2018, we have reached the milestone of 10 thousand customers that had used converged offer "Telia One". It means that more than 10 thousand Telia Lietuva customers and counting are enjoying higher speed, more data and more TV content because they use both fixed and mobile services.
In January, we were the first in Lithuania to present "Super VDSL" (S-VDSL) technology, which provides up to 250 Mbps Internet via copper lines. More than 2 thousand customers already switched from DSL to S-VDSL technology.
Positive intake of a new customers which accelerated with the launch of the converged offer "Telia One" in October 2017 continued. Over the year the number of:
The growing number of customers, galloping usage of mobile data and continuous demand for equipment led to growth in total revenue by 6.9 per cent, whereof revenue from:
Higher revenue in combination with cost control and operations efficiency improvements resulted in EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, growth over the year by 8.6 per cent, and EBITDA, including non-recurring items, margin for the first quarter of 2018 stood at 34.1 per cent (33.6 per cent a year ago).
The Company's investments which during the first quarter of 2018 amounted to EUR 13.6 million (EUR 12.9 million a year ago) besides continuing expansion of network capacities and access are allocated into development of IT systems under ongoing business transformation program. As a result, 166 thousand customers or one third of home service users are already migrated into a new SAP CRM system. Under transformation program we are also revising our services and products portfolio with the aim to terminate provision of less profitable services.
In March 2018, Telia Lietuva has become the first IT company in the Baltic States to receive a certificate from the software manufacturer SAP, which allows the Company to serve the IT systems of the largest enterprises. At the same time, the Company announced the launch of Telia IT Academy in Šiauliai, where SAP top-level professionals will share their knowledge and experience with the academy participants.
Following the Company's dividend policy which requires that the Company's net debt to EBITDA ratio should not be higher than 1.5 and pay-out of dividends should not exceed 80 per cent of free cash flow, the Board proposed to the Annual General Meeting, which will be held on 25 April 2018, to more than double dividend pay-out and to pay EUR 0.07 dividend per share for the year 2017, while for the year 2016 the dividend per share amounted to EUR 0.03. This one of the highest dividends pay-out in the Company's history and is as result of combined operations' synergy.
For ongoing investment into the progress of telecommunication industry, creation of the value to all stakeholders and contribution to the country's development Telia Lietuva in April 2018 was granted the award of Company of the Centenary by Investors' Forum, that unites foreign investors in Lithuania.

Due to introduction of IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" and to have comparable data, revenue for the first quarter of 2017 was restated. The major impact was that amount of EUR 816 thousand representing revenue from end equipment lease was reclassified and moved from revenue line "TV services" to revenue line "Equipment" and fair value of equipment sold with deferred payment (mainly mobile phones and other gadgets) was recalculated giving a total negative effect of EUR 404 thousand on revenue from equipment sales and total revenue for the first quarter of 2017.
The total revenue of the Company in January-March of 2018 was EUR 90.8 million, an increase by 6.9 per cent over the total restated revenue of EUR 84.9 million in the first three months of 2017.
The main drivers of revenue growth during the first quarter of 2018 was revenue from equipment sales and mobile communication services supported by revenue from TV and IT services.
Share of revenue from fixed and mobile communication services amounted to 50.8 and 31.3 per cent, respectively, from the total revenue for the first three months of 2018. Share of revenue from equipment sales was 17.9 per cent.
During the first quarter of 2018, revenue from services provided to residential customers (B2C) amounted to 56.9 per cent, to business customers (B2B) – 42.4 per cent, and others – 0.7 per cent of the total revenue.
By February 2018, we had 10 thousand customers that took advantage of our converged offer "Telia One" that gives more value – higher speed, more data and more TV content – to those who have both fixed and mobile services. This convenient and worthy converged offer when customers can get fixed and mobile connectivity home offer by visiting one portal, one retail outlet, or calling one customer care number was launched in October 2017.

Over the last twelve months, the number of post-paid service users went up by 38 thousand and the number of pre-paid service users contracted by 21 thousand. Over the year, the total number of active mobile subscriptions increased by 17 thousand.
The growth in billed revenue from mobile services was driven by increased number of active mobile subscriptions, continuous customers' migration from pre-paid to higher ARPU post-paid mobile services and accelerating usage of mobile data. Over the year amount of data used by mobile devices increased by 1.7 times, and especially after the elimination of roaming charges in the European Union from 15 June 2017.
Revenue from other mobile services include revenue from the Company's mobile network interconnections and other network services.
During January-March of 2018, the number of fixed telephone lines in service contracted by 14.5 thousand, while over the last twelve months it went down by 52.7 thousand. Over the year the total retail fixed voice telephony traffic decreased by 17.4 per cent. As a result, revenue from retail fixed voice telephony services, compared with the first
quarter of 2017, decreased by 14.1 per cent, while revenue from network interconnection services increased by 4.1 per cent but could not offset decline in revenue from retail voice telephony services.
During the first quarter of 2018, the number of fixed broadband Internet access users over fiber-optic network using FTTH/B technologies increased by 3.6 thousand, while the number of broadband Internet service users over the copper DSL connections eased by 1.1 thousand.

As of 31 March 2018, the number of Internet connections over the fiber-optic access network amounted to 64.5 per cent of all 415 thousand broadband Internet connections.
In January, the Company introduced "Super VDSL" (S-VDSL) technology, which depending on the length of the copper line connecting Telia Lietuva exchange and end equipment provides up to 250 Mbps Internet speed. For comparison, DSL technology ensures just up to 19 Mbps speed over the copper line. According to estimates, more than 70 thousand businesses and residents having the Company's DSL lines especially in regional centres and smaller neighbourhoods where a lot of people live in private houses will be able to use high speed Internet provided by S-VDSL technology.
Compared with the first quarter of 2017, revenue from data communication services alone increased by 3.5 per cent, while revenue from network capacity services alone decreased by 12.2 per cent.

During the last twelve months, the number of digital terrestrial television (DVB-T) users decreased by 6.8 thousand and amounted to 30 thousand. The Company is encouraging its DVB-T users to migrate to the more advanced IPTV platform that besides other functionalities features more than 40 national and international TV channels in HD quality. Over the year, the total number of television service customers went up by 13.3 thousand.
Revenue from IT services is generated from the data center, information system management and web-hosting services provided to local and multinational enterprises.
In February 2018, the Company opened the second largest Telia Lietuva IT competence centre in Šiauliai. The Company plans to create 50 new jobs in Šiauliai in the upcoming few years and to expand its IT team up to 200 employees.
In March, Telia Lietuva obtained certificate from SAP, a German-based one of the largest software manufacturers in the world and the business applications market leader. The audit carried out by SAP experts confirmed that the Company meet all the criteria, and has all the required competences and sufficient experience in maintaining IT SAP systems of large enterprises.
In March 2018, the Company and Šiaulių Bankas signed an agreement regarding the Bank's computerized work places management. Under this agreement, Telia Lietuva will lease all necessary computer hardware to Šiaulių Bankas and take over its maintenance. Lease and maintenance of computerized working places created specifically to meet the need of Šiaulių Bankas is a completely new service provided by Telia Lietuva. It will reduce IT costs and, at the same time, have the highest level of excellence in IT maintenance. Another advantage of this integrated service is the introduction of the security systems and technologies latest on the market which meet extremely stringent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This not only ensures higher level of personal data security but also guarantees cyber security to banking systems.
Revenue from other services consists of the non-telecommunication services such as Contact Center services to external customers, lease of premises, discount refunds and other.

The restructuring provision comprises of compensation to employees as a result of the restructuring plan approved by the Company. Provisions for restructuring were fully utilized during the year 2018.
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 recognised. The Company expects that assets retirement obligation will be realised 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.
The tax expenses for the period comprise current and deferred tax.
Profit for 2018 is taxable at a rate of 15 per cent in accordance with Lithuanian regulatory legislation on taxation (2017: 15 per cent).
According to amendments to the Law on Corporate Profit Tax which provides tax relief for investments in new technologies, the Company's calculated profit tax relief in 2017 amounted to EUR 869 thousand. In 2018, the profit tax relief for investments was not applicable for the Company.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit (loss) for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period. The Group has no dilutive potential ordinary shares and therefore diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share. The weighted average number of shares for the both reporting periods amounted to 582,613 thousand.

On 1 February 2017, continuing plan for increasing synergies and cost saving, the Company's 100 per cent controlled subsidiaries – AB Omnitel and AB Baltic Data Center – were merged into the Company. The merger transaction was accounted at carrying values, used in the Group consolidated financial statements.
At the date of legal merger, the net assets of merged companies were the following:

|---|---|
| Assets | |
| Non-current assets | |
| Property, plant and equipment Goodwill |

On 4 January 2016, the Company acquired a 100 per cent stake in AB Omnitel from Telia Company AB, which also owns 88.15 per cent of the Company's shares.
The companies operated in the same geographical market in interrelated segments. In general, the telecom industry, is expected to become more integrated in the future, in a digital and connected world and the industry is going through rapid change in services as well as when it comes to innovation (business commerce, social, healthcare, education and utilities). Management expected that the acquisition would enable synergies in net sales, costs and investments, also would give a better platform for being an outsourced partner for rest of Telia Company Group.
As it is required by accounting standards, the acquired intangible assets were identified and fair value of certain assets, liabilities and other components as of acquisition date was evaluated. The evaluation was assisted by external consultants. In most cases, fair value was estimated based on market comparable approach and management's consideration. Client based was evaluated applying expected maturity EUR in thousand-period excess earnings method. Created tax amortization benefit was also considered where applicable.
| Purchase consideration | 144,107 |
|---|---|
| Fair value of net assets acquired | (119,376) |
| Goodwill | 24,731 |
Goodwill arose in the acquisition because the consideration paid for the combination effectively included amounts in relation to the benefit of expected synergies, revenue growth, future market development and the assembled workforce. These benefits are not recognised separately from goodwill because they do not meet the recognition criteria for identifiable intangible assets.
