The general economic situation has remained challenging, but Elisa's competitiveness has developed well. In the third quarter of the year, our revenue and EBITDA grew year-on-year. The growth in earnings was boosted by the increasing demand for mobile data and the improvement in the profitability of operational activities.
During the quarter, the number of mobile subscriptions increased by more than 46,000, while the number of fixed network broadband subscriptions fell by 8,900. The demand for 4G subscriptions grew strongly, and customers are ready to pay more to use faster data speeds. Customers who have adopted faster data speeds are also clearly more satisfied than customers using slower connections. Corporate customers have also started to see the value of faster mobile data connections.
We have expanded the range of content available on Elisa Viihde. Our investments are mainly directed at domestic films and TV series. Close to one million Finns currently view programmes on mobile devices every week. Among people aged 50–65, mobile viewing has increased by approximately 150 per cent.
The number of registered users of the Elisa Lompakko wallet service has exceeded the level of 100,000. Elisa Lompakko is particularly popular among Internet shoppers and students. Families with children have also increasingly started to use the service. For families with children, contactless payment means an easier and safer daily life, because it is not necessary to use cash.
Elisa has further developed its long-term start-up cooperation. For example, cooperation with RePack has strengthened Elisa's ability to adopt environmentally friendly solutions by recycling service packaging.
We will continue our determined work to improve both customer satisfaction and our operational excellence. Improving our productivity, developing new services for our customers, and maintaining our strong investment ability create a solid foundation for competitive operations in the future.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS recognition and measurement principles, although not all requirements of the IAS 34 standard have been followed. The information presented in this interim report is unaudited.
The competitive environment has been intense during the quarter, typically having some campaigning and quite long discount periods in campaigns. The smartphone market grew and the usage of data services continued to evolve favourably. Approximately 92 per cent of the mobile handsets sold during third quarter were smartphones. Another factor contributing to mobile market growth has been the increased network coverage of new 4G speeds. The competition in the fixed broadband market has been mainly in multi-dwelling units. The number of and usage of traditional fixed network subscriptions is decreasing.
The markets for new visual communications (videoconferencing), IT outsourcing and IPTV entertainment services have continued to develop favourably. The demand for other new consumer online services is also growing.

As of 4 September 2015, the composition of Elisa's Shareholders' Nomination Board is following:
The Nomination Board elected Mr Kari Järvinen as the chair.
Shareholders' Nomination Board was established in 2012 by the Annual General Meeting. Its duty is to prepare proposals for the election and remuneration of the members of the board of directors of Elisa for the Annual General Meeting.
Elisa and Anvia are in dispute over the ownership arrangement of Anvia's treasury shares and their use at the General Meeting on 20 May 2015. Elisa requests that the aforementioned arrangement be confirmed to be invalid. Companies owned by Anvia, in turn, have brought an action for annulment in order to amend or annul the decisions made at the General Meeting. The consideration of the matters in the court instances is ongoing.
On 8 April 2015, according to the Finnish Competition Act, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) approved the transaction in which Elisa gains control over Anvia. FCCA set as a condition for the acquisition that the overlapping consumer business broadband networks, as well as the related customer agreements, be divested in the Vaasa, Mustasaari and Laihia areas in Western Finland. In September, Elisa fulfilled the FCCA condition by divesting the required business. The number of divested agreements was approximately 3,000.
In August 2015, the Finnish Communications Regulatory Authority (FICORA) issued a decision on the maximum interconnection fees for Finnish mobile operators. All Finnish mobile operators have an equal interconnection fee, which is currently 1.87 cents per minute. From 1 December 2015, the maximum interconnection fee is reduced to 1.25 cents per minute. This decision is valid for three years. Operators have appealed the decision to the Supreme Administrative Court.
In September 2014, the minority shareholders of Elisa Videra Oy started an arbitration process regarding the redemption price. The arbitration award was given on 28 August 2015 and the ruling did not require Elisa to make any payments to the plaintiffs.
Risk management is part of Elisa's internal control system. It aims to ensure that risks affecting the company's business are identified, influenced and monitored. The company classifies risks into strategic, operational, hazard and financial risks.
The telecommunications industry is under intense competition in Elisa's main market areas, which may have an impact on Elisa's business. The telecommunications industry is subject to heavy regulation. Elisa and its businesses are monitored and regulated by several public authorities. This regulation also affects the price level of some products and services offered by Elisa. Regulation may also require investments which have long payback times.
The rapid developments in telecommunications technology may have a significant impact on Elisa's business.
Elisa's main market is Finland, where the number of mobile phones per inhabitant is among the highest in the world, and growth in subscriptions is thus limited. Furthermore, the volume of phone traffic on Elisa's fixed network has decreased during the last few years. These factors may limit opportunities for growth.
The company's core operations are covered by insurance against damage and interruptions caused by accidents and disasters. Accident risks also include litigation and claims.
In order to manage the interest rate risk, the Group's loans and investments are diversified into fixed- and variable-rate instruments. Interest rate swaps can be used to manage the interest rate risk.
As most of Elisa's operations and cash flow are denominated in euros, the exchange rate risk is minor.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure the Group's financing in all circumstances. Elisa has cash reserves, committed credit facilities and a sustainable cash flow to cover its foreseeable financing needs.
Liquid assets are invested within confirmed limits in financially solid banks, domestic companies and institutions. Credit risk concentrations in accounts receivable are minor as the customer base is broad.
A detailed description of financial risk management can be found in Note 34 to the Annual Report 2014.
On 6 October 2015, Elisa signed a EUR 150m loan agreement with the European Investment Bank. The loan can be drawn within 12 months from signing and its maturity is seven years.
The macroeconomic environment in Finland is still expected to be weak in 2015. Competition in the Finnish telecommunications market also remains challenging.
Full-year revenue is estimated to be at the same level or slightly higher than in 2014. Mobile data, ICT and new online services are expected to increase revenue. Full-year EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, is anticipated to be at the same level or slightly higher than in 2014. Full-year capital expenditure is expected to be a maximum of 12 per cent of revenue. Elisa's financial position and liquidity are good.
Elisa is continuing its productivity improvement measures, for example by streamlining the product portfolio and IT systems and operations. Additionally, Elisa is continuing to increase customer service and sales efficiency, as well as to reduce general administrative costs.
Elisa's transformation into a provider of exciting, new and relevant services for its customers is continuing. Long-term growth and profitability improvement will derive from mobile data market growth, as well as new online and ICT services.
