* For 2018 the growth refers to adjusted EBITDA. Both adjusted EBITDA (until 2018) and EBITDAaL (from 2019) are key measures of operating profitability used by the Management Board
** EBITDAaL (EBITDA after Leases) is management's new principal financial indicator of operating performance using IFRS16 figures. Since the adoption of IFRS16, EBITDA is considered less representative of operating performance because it excludes operating expenses due to leases. Operating income is considered less representative of operating performance owing to the impact of changes in asset lives. At the same time, to preserve consistency, certain other alternative performance measures (capex, organic cash flow and net debt) were slightly amended. Unaudited figures were provided for 2018 for comparative purposes including estimation of EBITDAaL. More information is presented in the Note 3 to the financial statements for FY 2019.
*** Year-on-year evolution of operating income and net income is not comparable because of the changes in accounting standards. Starting from 2019 Orange Polska applied a new accounting standard IFRS16 without restatement of comparative periods. Data for FY and 4Q 2018 were prepared under previous accounting standard IAS17.

Highlights:
"Orange Polska's turnaround is progressing well. I am very pleased to say that we managed to sustain growth in 2019: our operating profitability performance measure (EBITDAaL) increased for the second consecutive year. Moreover, we also report growing revenues for the first time in 13 years. We deliver on our commitments because we are very consistent in the execution of our strategy. This achievement would not be possible without the concerted efforts of our entire organisation.
2019 saw a changing landscape in the Polish telecom market, with operators implementing a 'more for more' approach. We are pleased that our value-based strategy has been well received by Orange Polska customers. Net additions in post-paid handset offers were better than in 2018, and churn rate was lower. In this context, it is very important to note that we improved our position in NPS (Net Promoter Score) in 2019, vindicating our customer-centric focus.
With net customer additions of 47,000, Q4 was by far the best quarter ever for our fibre offer. After growing more than 40% last year, our fibre customer base now accounts for 20% of fixed broadband base. These outstanding results indicate that there is a big appetite for this technology and that customers appreciate the superiority of fibre. It allows us to regain market share, especially in big cities. Building our fibre network means investing in future-proof technology that will serve us for decades to come.
We are confident that 2020 will be another year of growth for Orange Polska. We will continue to execute our value strategy in all business areas. But it will also be a year of challenges, coming mainly from the external inflationary environment. This motivates us to implement more efficiency improvements to boost our capacity for growth in the years to come. In 2020 we will also work intensively on our new strategy, which we will present to the market in due course"
Revenues totalled PLN 11,406 million in 2019 and were up year-on-year 2.9% or PLN 319 million. It was the first growth reported by the company in 13 years despite continued structural pressure on legacy business lines (retail and wholesale fixed telephony).
There were five main factors influencing this revenue trend. Firstly, high growth of revenues from convergent services (20% year-on-year) driven by customer growth and upsell of new services. Secondly, revenues from mobile-only and fixed broadband-only services decline (5.3% year-onyear) mainly as a result of migration to convergence and market competition. However combined revenues of these three categories were up 1.4% year-on-year in 2019. Thirdly, revenues from IT and integration services grew 30% year-on-year, thanks to a combination of continued strong organic growth (16% year-on-year) and the consolidation of newly acquired subsidiary BlueSoft (a contribution of PLN 86 million for the period of June-December). Fourthly, revenues from equipment sales advanced by 11% year-on-year reflecting our commercial push on handset sales. Finally, other revenues grew 44% year-on-year as a result of the development of our energy resale business.
In 4Q alone, revenues were up 2.6% or PLN 76 million year-on-year. It was mainly supported by three factors. Firstly, trend in mobile-only service revenues improved (a decline of 3.1% year-onyear versus a decline of 5.2% year-on-year for 9M 2019) as a result of value pricing strategy. Secondly, equipment revenues advanced 16% year-on-year (the highest increase of all quarters of 2019) as a result of very good reception of our Christmas offers by customers. Thirdly,
revenues from IT and integration services grew 20% year-on-year as a result of 2.7% organic growth (despite a high comparable base of 4Q 2018) and PLN 38 million contribution of BlueSoft.
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 2019 our B2C convergent customer base increased by 133,000 and 11% year-on-year. At the end of December, 62% of our B2C broadband customers were convergent versus 57% a year ago. In B2C mobile handset customer base, penetration of convergence increased to 50% versus 46% at the end of December 2018. The total number of services used by B2C convergent customers exceeded 5.6 million, which implies that on average every customer uses more than four services. ARPO from convergent customers slightly increased as compared to 2018 and amounted to PLN 102.4. It was a result of our value strategy and upsell of additional services. In 4Q alone customer net additions were at 38,000, which was the second best quarterly result of last year.
Total fixed broadband customer base increased in 2019 by 47,000 and 1.8% year-on-year. The share of high-speed broadband customers increased to 41% from 34% a year ago. It was driven by growth of fibre customer base which expanded 42% year-on-year, adding 154,000 in 2019. In 4Q alone, the fibre customer base grew by 47,000, which was the highest ever quarterly result. Our non-convergent broadband customer base continues to shrink as a result of migration to convergence but also due to churn. ARPO from broadband only services was down 1.8% yearon-year mainly because of decreasing number of customers with TV service who migrate to convergence. Our pay-TV customer base continued to increase. With net additions of 51,000 in 2019, it reached 994,000 and increased 5.4% year-on-year. Already 83% of our TV services are part of convergent packages.
Total mobile post-paid customer base increased by 315,000 in 2019, or by 3.2% year-on-year. This growth rate was higher than achieved in 2018. In 4Q alone the post-paid customer base expanded by 109,000, the most in more than two years.
In handset offers, net customer additions of 250,000 in 2019 reflected good new sales volumes and successful churn management. In 2019 post-paid churn ratio stood at 2.6% compared to 2.9% in 2018. The trend in post-paid ARPO from mobile-only services improved. It declined 5.6% year-on-year in 2019 vs. a drop of 10.1% year-on-year in 2018 as a result of our value pricing strategy. In 4Q alone, this ARPO decline was contained to only 3.6% year-on-year.
In fixed voice, the net loss of lines was 298,000 with key trends broadly unchanged. The number of VoIP services is growing, as they are part of the Orange Love package. Excluding VoIP services, the loss of lines continues to reflect structural negative market trends.
EBITDAaL for 2019 came in at PLN 3,006 million and was up 7.0% year-on-year. An important growth contributor were record high gains on asset disposals (higher by PLN 79 million year-onyear). However it should be underlined that EBITDAaL grew by 4.5% year-on-year excluding this factor. This was achieved despite constant pressure on high margin legacy services and revenue growth generated by lower margin areas (including IT&Integration, equipment, energy resale). EBITDAaL has been supported by focus on value in commercial activity, monetisation of investment in fibre network and strong cost optimisations. Indirect costs (costs not directly linked to revenues) were down by almost 5% year-on-year (excluding gains on asset disposals) year and reflected mainly further savings in labour, IT&network, advertising & promotion, general costs and CRM subcontracting.
In 4Q alone, EBITDAaL increased 3.1% year-on-year and as much as 15.4% year-on-year excluding gains of asset disposals. Such robust growth was driven by good trend in the direct margin and very strong impact of cost optimisations. Indirect costs were down 11% year-on-year in 4Q with savings generated almost in all cost categories.
Net income for 2019 was PLN 91 million, a growth from PLN 10 million reported in 2018. Bottom line improved despite it was impacted by PLN 181 million provision for the impact of employment termination programs. The improvement was driven by growth of EBITDAaL and PLN 93 million lower depreciation (mainly a consequence of extension of useful life of certain assets).
Organic cash flow for 2019 was PLN 737 million, an improvement of PLN 326 million versus 2018. The growth was driven by PLN 344 million higher proceeds from sale of assets (mainly owing to sale of Nowogrodzka/Barbary real estate complex). Cash capital expenditures at PLN 2,267 million were up PLN 106 million year-on-year mainly as a result of different phasing of payments to capex suppliers. This growth was partly offset by higher working capital release supported by sale of selected receivables arising from sales of mobile handsets in instalments (PLN 291 million).
"We delivered on our financial objectives in 2019. Despite constant pressure on our legacy business, we managed to grow our EBITDAaL. Gains on asset disposals reached a record high in 2019; however I am especially pleased that EBITDAaL increased as much as 4.5% year-on-year even if we exclude this factor. This resulted both from better revenue evolution (the first increase in many years) and a continuation of strong cost optimisation efforts. Revenues were boosted by value-accretive commercial actions as well as successful development of ICT business. Efficiency savings in indirect costs are being driven by the transformation of business processes in all our areas of operations.
In 2020 we expect further growth of revenues and EBITDAaL. Both convergence and monoservice revenues will be supported by our 'more for more' strategy. In ICT we will work to monetise the benefits of our recent acquisition. Our growth ambitions also require that we find additional efficiencies to withstand continued structural decline in legacy services and expected cost inflation.
In line with the priorities set in the Orange.one strategy, the management will once again recommend not paying a dividend in 2020. We will continue to invest in rolling out our fibre network at full speed, and there is a 5G spectrum auction just around the corner.
Over the past few years Orange Polska has been rapidly evolving from an incumbent operator to a modern telco. On the one hand, between 2016 and 2019 we invested more than PLN 2.5 billion in a fibre network roll-out that will create value for many years to come. On the other hand, in the same timeframe we disposed of assets with a market value close to PLN 1 billion, mainly a result of our legacy status. Assets amounting to a similar value still remain to be sold in the years to come. To better capture this transformation of the fixed asset base we decided to revise reporting of the two alternative performance measures (APMs). From 2020, capex will be reported net of the proceeds from asset disposals – we will call it economic capex (eCapex). Consequently, EBITDAaL definition will also exclude gains on asset disposals."
The Management Board of Orange Polska hereby publishes the Company's guidance for the fullyear 2020.
From 2020 reporting we will revise definitions of capex and EBITDAaL alternative performance measures. Capex will be presented net of the proceeds from asset disposals and will be named economic capex (eCapex). Consequently, EBITDAaL will exclude gains on asset disposals.
This change reflects better transformation of Orange Polska 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 will be shifted from EBITDAaL to Capex.
| 2019 EBITDAaL (comparable base) | 2020 EBITDAaL guidance |
|---|---|
| PLN 2,735 million | Growth versus 2019 |
The management forecasts that EBITDAaL will grow in 2020 on comparable basis. The growth factors are expected to be unchanged versus previous year. We anticipate further growth of convergence, improving trends on mono services, continued value focus in commercial activity, growth of IT & integration revenues and further cost optimisation. 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.
