Management comment:

We started the year by merging the mobile and fixed broadband operations into a single entity and successful rebranding, continued with offers that are unique in the market and that combine various technologies, such as hybrid-type Internet. And now Telia Lietuva has finished the year with exceptional fourth quarter in terms of record revenue and profitability growth.

Successful legal merger as prerequisite for ongoing operational and structural improvements, retrieval of synergies and cost efficiency, combined with the market recovery, growing appetite for mobile data, high quality TV and video content as well as a boom in smart devices and gadgets, have resulted in both revenue and EBITDA for the last quarter of 2017 being the highest over the last eight quarters since the beginning of joint operations in January 2016.

The end of 2017 was marked with the launch of unique in the market converged offer "Telia One". It gives more value – higher speed, more data and more TV content – to those who have both fixed and mobile services. It is convenient because customers can get fixed and mobile home offers by visiting one portal, one retail outlet, or calling one customer care number.

Successful launch of "Telia One" in October boosted the intake of new customers during the fourth quarter of 2017:

• The number of IPTV users increased by 6.5 thousand up to 211 thousand,
• The number of FTTH Internet customers grew by 5.1 thousand up to 264 thousand,
• The number of post-paid mobile service users rose by 17 thousand up to 1,075 thousand.

Growing number of customers, accelerating usage of mobile data and strong sale of smart phones, gadgets and other equipment led to the total annual revenue growth of 7 per cent, whereof:

• Revenue from equipment sales went up by 17.5 per cent,
• Revenue from TV services increased by 10.4 per cent,
• Revenue from billed mobile services was up by 8.2 per cent.

The highest quality level of services provided and standards used in the Company was confirmed by Quality Management (ISO 9001), Environmental Management (ISO 14001) and Occupational Health & Safety (OHSAS 18001) certificates obtain in October in addition to the IT Management (ISO 20000) and Information Security Management (ISO 27001) certificates we'd already held.

Quality of services could not be ensured without ongoing investments into fiber-optic and 4G networks, supporting IT systems and processes. During the twelve months of 2017, total investments amounted to EUR 63.8 million, an increase of 10.6 per cent over the year. 464 new base stations were added to the largest and fastest 4G/LTE network in the country owned by Telia Lietuva. Also, our customers are the first in Lithuania to use VoLTE technology since October.

We strive to be a leader not only in technologies, but in our approach to doing business. In November, during the National Responsible Business Awards Telia Lietuva was recognised as the Environmental Company of the Year among the international corporations, and was ranked 2nd among the most transparent, open and ethical largest companies in Lithuania according to Transparency International rating. In June, it also won the Best Employer award of Verslo Žinios, the leading business daily.

In December, Telia Lietuva jointly with other two Lithuanian operators – Tele2 and Bitė – in equal parts invested into UAB Mobilieji Mokėjimai, an entity that will create, operate and supervise the platform for the provision of instant payments. Entering into the instant payment market is in line with our strategy to explore possibilities close to the core business.

The total consolidated revenue of the Company for the fourth quarter of 2017 was the highest over the last eight quarters and amounted to EUR 100 million, an increase of 8.2 per cent over the total consolidated revenue of EUR 92.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The total revenue for the twelve months of 2017 increased by 7.0 per cent, over the total revenue of EUR 345.9 million a year ago, and amounted to EUR 370.1 million.

The total revenue increase was driven by continuous growth of revenue from equipment sale, television, mobile communication, network interconnection and fixed broadband Internet services.

Share of revenue from fixed and mobile communication services amounted to 53.1 and 29 per cent, respectively, from the total revenue for January-December 2017. Share of revenue from equipment sales reached 17.9 per cent.

During 2017, the total number of active mobile subscriptions increased by 34 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 1.8 times, and especially after the elimination of roaming charges in the European Union from 15 June 2017.

time and data set in the new plan can be used while travelling in the EU for no additional charge. In addition, some of the plans have a travel insurance included. The amount of mobile data offered to clients in most of new packages has increased between 25 and 400 per cent. Although the price of data packages, subject to their size, has increased, the price for 1 GB of mobile data has fallen by up to 23 per cent. Moreover, starting from 1 January 2018, the amount of free data provided with the most popular mobile communication plans in the EU and EEA countries increased by 10-33 per cent.

From August 2017, the Company's customers are paying up to 98 per cent less for mobile Internet access in more than 70 countries outside the European Union, too.

As a result, the revenue from retail voice telephony services for the twelve months of 2017 went down by 11.8 per cent, while revenue from network interconnection services went up by 37.4 per cent and fully offset the decline in revenue for retail voice services.

Compared with the same periods in 2016, revenue from data communication services alone during the fourth quarter of 2017 increased by 5.5 per cent, while decreasing by 3.9 per cent over the 12 months' period. Revenue from network capacity services alone for the fourth quarter and twelve months of 2017, compared with the same periods a year ago, declined by 11.4 and 8.8 per cent, respectively.

During the last twelve months, the number of digital terrestrial television (DVB-T) users decreased by 7 thousand and amounted to 31 thousand.

Revenue from other services consists of the non-telecommunication services such as Contact Center services, lease of premises, discount refunds and other. During 2017, revenue from Contact Center services, compared with the year 2016, decreased by 83.6 per cent, as the Company's subsidiary Contact Center ceased to provide services to external customers, except the Directory Inquiry service 118.

The restructuring provision comprises of compensation to employees because of the restructuring plan approved by the Company. Provisions for restructuring will be 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 the 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.

Profit for 2017 is taxable at a rate of 15 per cent in accordance with Lithuanian regulatory legislation on taxation (2016: 15 per cent).
