* From 2020 we have revised definitions of capex and EBITDAaL alternative performance measures. Capex is now presented net of the accrued proceeds from asset disposals and is named economic capex (eCapex). Consequently, EBITDAaL excludes gains on asset disposals. This change reflects better the transformation of Orange Polska's fixed asset base which has been rapidly evolving over the past few years and will do so in the future. We invest in assets essential for our future value creation (fibre and mobile network) and dispose assets no longer necessary for our core operations. Economic benefits of this transformation have been shifted from EBITDAaL to eCapex.

"We delivered on our financial objectives in 2020 despite unprecedented challenges. The COVID-19 crisis has tested our ability to adapt to dynamically changing external conditions. Passing this test would not have been possible without the concerted efforts of many of our teams and I would like to thank our entire organisation for this effort.
The crisis has particularly underlined the value of investments in network quality, both fixed and mobile, that have always been in the centre of our strategy. It proved more than anything that the decision we made a few years ago to invest heavily in fibre was the right one. Our fibre network reached 5 million households, fulfilling our strategic ambition. Encouraged by strong customer demand, we are planning more investments but in a different formula. Our FiberCo project progresses on track. With net customer additions of 63,000 – a record high, by far - our fibre customer base increased by almost 10% in 4Q alone. Already, fibre accounts for 27% of our total fixed broadband customer base.
The Orange.one strategy that we have just concluded made Orange Polska a much stronger market player in all key market segments, and a much more efficient business. We met our financial promises, breaking multi-year negative trends to deliver turnaround with operating profitability growing in the last 3 years and revenues in the last 2 years. At the same time we are aware that there is room for further improvements, and we will address these areas in the strategy update to be announced in 2Q."
Revenues totalled PLN 11,508 million in 2020 and were up 0.9% year-on-year or PLN 102 million. There were four main factors impacting this revenue trend.
Firstly, combined revenues of convergence, mobile-only and fixed broadband-only (which we consider our core telecom services) were up 2.9% year-on-year. This growth rate was twice as high as in 2019 when it amounted to 1.4%, despite in 2020 it was affected by much lower customer roaming revenues (down 40% year-on-year). This much better performance was a consequence of successful combination of strong growth of customer volumes and improving trends of average revenue that they generate (ARPO). Improving ARPO is a consequence of our value pricing strategy and growing share of fibre.
Secondly, IT and integration services recorded another strong year with revenues growing 24% year-on-year despite pandemic-related market slowdown especially visible in 3Q. Key contributors were strong performance in the first half of the year driven by project pipeline built before the pandemic and the contribution of BlueSoft acquired in mid-2019. Thirdly, mobile wholesale revenues were up 12% year-on-year due to much higher voice traffic as a result of the pandemic. Finally, revenues from equipment sales were down 13% year-on-year reflecting mainly negative impact of the pandemic (partial shops closure in 2Q and reduced customer demand).
In 4Q alone, revenues were up 2.8% or PLN 84 million year-on-year which was the highest growth rate of all quarters in 2020. The key contributors to this performance were core telecom services (advancing 3.6% year-on-year), IT/IS (up 26% year-on-year) and mobile wholesale (up 15% yearon-year). After particularly weak third quarter, revenues from IT/IS rebounded driven by year-end demand revival from public and finance customers.
In 2020 we successfully combined strong growth of customer volumes in all key services (convergence, fixed broadband, mobile post-paid) with improving underlying trends in the average revenue that they generate (ARPO).
Our commercial activity is mainly focused on delivering a package of mobile and fixed services, which we define as convergence. It is our competitive edge, it increases customer loyalty and allows us to upsell more services, winning a higher share of household media and telecom budgets.
In 2020 our B2C convergent customer base increased by 114,000 and 8.3% year-on-year. At the end of December, 65% of our B2C broadband customers were convergent versus 62% a year ago. The total number of services used by B2C convergent customers stood at 6.0 million, which implies that on average every customer uses more than four services. ARPO from convergent customers accelerated its growth rate to 3.2% year-on-year to PLN 105.7. This was largely due to our value strategy, increasing share of fibre and TV services, and upsell of additional services. In 4Q alone customer net additions reached 42,000 (which was the best quarterly result of the last 2 years), while ARPO stood at PLN 107.1 and was up 4.2% year-on-year.
Total fixed broadband customer base increased in 2020 by 95,000 and 3.6% year-on-year. In 4Q alone it grew by 40,000, which was the highest quarterly increase in last 3 years. It was driven by growth of fibre customer base which expanded 39% year-on-year, adding 205,000 in 2020. In 4Q alone, the fibre net additions broke another quarterly record and stood at 63,000. Fibre already reached 27% of our total broadband customer base. The copper broadband customer base continued to decrease and was lower by 152,000 versus previous year. The ARPO from broadbandonly services grew 4.7% year-on-year versus -1.8% decline in 2019. The key contributors of this turnaround were price increases introduced in 2019 and growing share of fibre customers. Fibre customers generate the highest ARPO which is mainly fuelled by high share of TV services, growing popularity of higher fibre speeds additionally paid and increasing share of customers in single family houses (who pay higher price to cover higher network rollout cost).
Total mobile post-paid customer base increased by 655,000 in 2020, or by 6.4% year-on-year. In handset offers, net customer additions of 347,000 were the highest in two years, owing to good new sales volumes and successful churn management. In 2020 post-paid churn ratio decreased to 2.3% from 2.6% in 2019. Despite negative impact of roaming the trend in post-paid ARPO from mobile-only services improved. It declined 4.1% year-on-year in 2020 versus a drop of 5.6% yearon-year in 2019 as a result of our value pricing strategy. Excluding roaming, this ARPO decline was contained to only 0.6% year-on-year.
Pre-paid customer base in 2020 decreased by 3.7% to 4.9 million. This drop reflected market trend and was caused by pandemic-related reduced mobility of people negatively affecting activity of our customers and demand for new pre-paid cards. However ARPO from pre-paid customers increased by 3.4% (after it was down 4% in 2019) as a result of higher voice and data traffic.
In fixed voice, the net loss of lines was contained to 210,000 as compared to 298,000 in 2019 as the churn level was positively impacted by the pandemic. The key trends were broadly unchanged: the number of VoIP services continued to grow, as they are part of the Orange Love package. Excluding VoIP services, the loss of lines reflects structural negative market trends. However dynamics of ARPO from fixed voice services-only turned positive (up 1.9% year-on-year) as a result of increased traffic.
EBITDA after Lease (EBITDAaL) for 2020 came in at PLN 2,797 and was up 2.9% year-on-year. Direct margin (a difference between revenues and direct costs) was down PLN 72 million year-onyear as positive impact of strong performance of core service revenue lines was more than offset by pandemic-related lower roaming revenues and additional provisions as well as ongoing pressure from legacy fixed voice. This decline was fully compensated by further optimisation of indirect costs, which decreased 4% year-on-year. These savings on top of results of continued optimisation initiatives in many areas (labour, CRM, general expenses) were significantly supported by exceptional measures taken by the management to offset negative impact of the pandemic. These included mainly curtailment of jubilee awards scheme (resulting in PLN 64 million reversal of provisions for employee benefits) and renegotiation of certain terms of Social Agreement with trade unions.
In 4Q alone EBITDAaL decreased 4.1% year-on-year. Almost 2% year-on-year growth of the direct margin (reflecting strong revenue growth of core telecom services) was offset by growing indirect costs which were affected by around PLN 35 million provisioning for claims and litigations.
Net income for 2020 was PLN 46 million versus PLN 82 million generated in 2019. Operating income was slightly lower year-on-year as growth of EBITDAaL was offset by much lower gains on sale of assets and slightly higher depreciation (due to our network investments). Financial costs were PLN 34 million higher year-on-year only due to foreign exchange losses mainly on EURO denominated long-term leasing liabilities.
Organic cash flow for 2020 was PLN 642 million, which was PLN 95 million below the level generated in 2019. However excluding PLN 440 million lower cash proceeds from sale of assets (an outcome of on the one hand record high real estate sales in 2019 and on the other hand pandemic-related market slowdown in 2020) level of cash generated was PLN 345 million better than the year before. This was down to two main factors. Firstly, growth of EBITDAaL and higher working capital release (mainly as a result of lower growth of receivables related to equipment instalment sales) translated into PLN 147 million better year-on-year cash from operating activities. Secondly, capital expenditure cash outflows were PLN 262 million lower year-on-year and reflected some slowdown of investments introduced to offset more difficult property market due to the pandemic.
The implementation of Orange Polska's strategy announced in 2017 ended with the end of 2020. We believe that this strategy has been a great success. In our opinion, Orange Polska has considerably improved its market position in all key segments of the market, and has become a much more efficient operator. The crucial element of the success was our investments in the fibre network, which supports our convergent strategy and provides our long-term competitive advantage. At the end of 2020, 5 million households were connectable with our fibre network, which had been our strategic ambition formulated in 2017. Our share of fibre customers has tripled over the last three years, reaching 27%. We have achieved a major customer base increase in all key service categories: convergence, fixed broadband and mobile. Simultaneously, our value strategy and fibre expansion have driven a very significant improvement in ARPO trends.
We have met all the financial goals set in our strategy, reversing prolonged negative trends and returning to sustainable growth. Our key measure of operating profitability, EBITDAaL (or EBITDA earlier), has been growing for the last three years, while our revenues have been growing for the last two years. It has been a result of the implementation of our convergence strategy, monetisation of fibre network investments, steady focus on value generation in our commercial activities, 'more for more' pricing strategy and very high cost savings. Operating profitability is improving despite continued structural pressure on high-margin traditional fixed line services, the erosion of which almost fully filters through to profits. The growing operating profitability has led to an increase in cash generation and a decrease in net debt and leverage ratio.
At the end of 2020, we were ranked the #1 operator in terms of customer satisfaction, which had also been our strategic ambition. The highest ever absolute level of NPS is a consequence of our prolonged and consistent efforts to improve all the elements of the 'customer journey', from network connectivity to portfolio structure, sales and customer care.
We also believe that there is room for improvement in certain areas, and we will address it in the next strategic period. We intend to announce our updated strategy in the second quarter of 2021.
"Our 2020 results met our guidance and expectations and were strong, especially given particularly challenging circumstances resulting from the COVID-19 crisis. EBITDAaL increased by almost 3%, significantly helped by our exceptional efforts with respect to cost savings which offset the negative impact of the pandemic coming from roaming and risk provisions. Our revenue dynamics were also positively helped by a strong year-end, mainly in the ICT area. I am especially pleased that revenues from key telecom services, which are essential to margin generation, more than doubled in terms of growth rate to 2.9%. This trend was driven by our value strategy, combining strong customer volumes and improving trends in ARPO.
We met all the financial commitments contained in our Orange.one strategy, delivering turnaround of revenues and operating profitability. Since 2017 our revenues have increased by more than 4%. Growing operating profitability translated into growth of organic cash flows, and substantial reduction of our net debt and the level of financial leverage.
In 2021 we plan to maintain growth of our top line and EBITDAaL in the low single digits. We will continue our cost transformation but we expect this year's EBITDAaL growth driver to be direct margin. This will be another step forward on our path to sustainable turnaround. Our revenues should be further supported by our value approach in commercial activity, and further focus on ICT. On the other hand we will face some regulatory challenges, including cuts in mobile and fixed termination rates as well as changes to prepaid regulations. We obviously carefully monitor economic situation resulting from prolonging pandemic and its potential impact on our operations."
The Management Board of Orange Polska hereby publishes the Company's guidance for the fullyear 2021.
| 2020 EBITDAaL | 2021 EBITDAaL guidance | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLN 2,797 million | Low single digit growth versus 2020 |
The management forecasts that EBITDAaL will grow in 2021 by a low single digit percentage. We anticipate further growth of core telecommunication services (convergence, mobile and broadband) which are essential to our profit margin generation, continued value focus in commercial activity, growth of IT & integration revenues and further cost optimisation. We expect regulatory impact from cuts in MTR and FTR to negatively impact our revenues but have limited impact on profit margin. We also expect further pressure on high margin legacy services (retail and wholesale fixed telephony).
Realisation of this guidance will be monitored by the Company on an ongoing basis. Should there occur material deviation from the forecast, the Company will make a revision to the forecast and immediately publish it in the form of a current report.
