"Operational momentum continued in the first quarter, with growth in all telco businesses and progress in the TV and Media turnaround. NPS and service revenue trends in the consumer segment have been encouraging. Immediately after the end of the quarter the sale of Telia Denmark closed as expected, which strengthens our balance sheet.
In Sweden, fixed service revenue drove our growth in the quarter, and in particular Telia's leading TV experience which has enabled pricing opportunities in the past 12 months, while mobile was stable. The consumer business continued its positive trend in both NPS and in service revenue, which grew 5.0%. This was underpinned in part by our work to improve customer service, with a new record low in incoming contacts for B2C being achieved in March, 40% lower level versus three years ago, following improvements in operational efficiency, IT infrastructure and customer experience. Swedish service revenue growth overall accelerated to 3.5% and, excluding the decline in copper related services, the growth was 5.6%.
Our business in Finland reported a steady service revenue growth at around 2%. Positively, this was underpinned by a further improvement in mobile consumer customer satisfaction and a mobile consumer ARPU increase of 12%, as well as nearly 20% revenue growth in our data center business in Helsinki. Partly, this was offset by a lower mobile customer base and steep declines in fixed legacy services.
Norway has a similar momentum, with service revenue also up around 2% in the quarter, driven both by higher consumer ARPU and strong growth in our mobile wholesale business, however partly offset by slight fixed service revenue decline and lower invoicing fees.
Lithuania reported a healthy mid-single digit growth in service revenue, driven mainly by mobile subscriber and ARPU growth. We launched new self-service customer apps in the quarter to drive customer experience, monetization and lower cost to serve. Fixedline revenue also grew driven by broadband and business solutions. Estonia had a lower revenue momentum this quarter, as a result of the timing of price changes, but launched a commercial 26Ghz 5G FWA service which offers a fiber like experience via the mobile network. We also won the local tender to provide connectivity, devices and security for the European Union parliamentary election.
TV and Media saw a decline in advertising revenue of 6.3% due to weak market conditions, however the decline was lower than in previous quarters and the majority of it was offset by 5.2% growth in pay TV revenue. We are pleased with the progress in our digital transformation, with growth both in streaming consumption, the streaming customer base, and in our digital advertising revenue.
Importantly, our sustainability agenda continues at full speed, with 55% of our supply chain emissions now covered by Science Based Targets, our A- score from CDP being reconfirmed in the quarter, and another 200,000 individuals reached by our digital inclusion initiatives.
In the Telco business, service revenue grew 2.7% and EBITDA grew 2.1%. Excluding a time shift in pension refund, Telco EBITDA grew 3.4%. A weak macro and regulatory effects were notable headwinds

in the quarter, but partly offset by a modest energy cost tailwind. Resource cost efficiency improved, despite salary inflation, due to reductions in costs for consultants.
In total, EBITDA for the group grew 4.6%, helped also by lower losses in TV and Media compared to the first quarter last year, as our agenda to return this unit to profitability made further progress with savings on content and broad-based cost reductions.
Phasing effects of interest, pension refund and working capital reduced our cash flow in the quarter, as expected, but most of this effect was absorbed by increasing EBITDA and lower cash capex.
Our balance sheet is healthy, with a net debt to EBITDA at 2.43x at the end of the quarter. The proceeds from the sale of Telia Denmark, which closed on 2 April, will be used to reduce leverage.
After the first three months, we are comfortable with the full-year outlook we gave in January, which is unchanged, as are our expectations of cash flow generation being tilted towards the second half of the year.
The focus in my first quarter as CEO has been to analyze the business and build our mid-term plan together with our business unit leaders. I have seen a company with an impressive set of assets and an engaged organization, and, building on a strategy which is sound in all material aspects, our goal is to eliminate barriers and complexities, so that Telia can become simpler and faster in decision making and commercial execution. If we succeed with this, we expect that we can grow our cash flow to above our current dividend level in future years. We plan to share more details of our mid-term ambitions after the summer.
I would like to thank all employees for your work in my first quarter as CEO, and our shareholders for your continued support. I very much look forward to the years ahead."

Financial items totaled SEK -1,261 million (-843) of which SEK -1,143 million (-864) related to net interest expenses. The increase in net interest expenses was mainly due to increased interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
Income taxes amounted to SEK -277 million (-324). The effective tax rate was 27.1% (35.0), mainly impacted by reassessed base for Estonian distribution tax and a non-tax deductible capital loss related to the liquidation of a Turkish subsidiary. Adjusted for these items, the effective tax rate would have been 21.4%.
Net income from continuing operations amounted to SEK 745 million (602) and Net income from discontinued operations amounted to SEK 12 million (136).
Other comprehensive income increased to SEK 2,448 million (-647) mainly due to higher remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans. 2023 was impacted by negative foreign translation differences.
Cash flow from operating activities increased to SEK 3,503 million (1,350) mainly as reduced vendor financing levels had a negative impact on the first quarter 2023.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK 226 million (-7,593). The first quarter of 2024 was mainly impacted by net disposals of short-term investments.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to SEK -11,163 million (10,141). The first quarter of 2024 was impacted by higher repayments of borrowings, higher paid dividend as the dividend was divided into four tranches instead of two tranches as in 2023, and lower proceeds from borrowings.
Structural part of Operational free cash flow decreased to SEK 413 million (613) mainly driven by higher paid interest partly offset by decreased Cash CAPEX excluding licenses and spectrum. Furthermore, a rephasing of pension refund of SEK 400 million into the subsequent quarter also had a negative impact.
Operational free cash flow improved to SEK -779 million (-3,620) mainly driven by less negative working capital contribution and decreased Cash CAPEX excluding licenses and spectrum partly offset by higher paid interest.
CAPEX excluding right-of-use assets from continuing operations, decreased to SEK 3,095 million (3,491). CAPEX excluding fees for licenses, spectrum and right-of-use assets from continuing operations, decreased to SEK 3,092 million (3,491). Cash CAPEX decreased to SEK 3,367 million (4,157).

The net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio increased to 2.43x compared to 2.32x at the end of the fourth quarter 2023. The increase was mainly due to dividend paid to shareholders.
Investments in associates and joint ventures, pension obligation assets and other non-current assets increased to SEK 9,185 million (6,742), mainly due to remeasurements of defined benefit pension plans.
Current interest-bearing receivables decreased to SEK 9,041 million (13,896) mainly due to net divestments of investment bonds.
Current borrowings decreased to SEK 8,795 million (14,069), mainly due to repaid debt, partly offset by new issued debt.
Trade payables and other current liabilities, current tax payables and current provisions decreased to SEK 31,752 million (35,920) mainly due to the last tranche of the dividend being paid out and decrease in liabilities for film and program rights.


In the quarter Telia and RISE signed an agreement as a basis for continued joint strategic innovation cooperation with the intention of shortening the lead time from research and innovation to commercialization.

Mobile postpaid subscriptions excluding M2M services increased by ~15,000 in the quarter driven by the consumer segment. TV subscriptions increased by ~16,000 and fixed broadband subscriptions decreased by ~1,000 in the quarter.
Revenue, like for like, decreased 2.0% as increased service revenue was more than offset by lower sales of both mobile and fixed equipment.
Service revenue, like for like, increased 3.5% as mobile service revenue remained rather unchanged and fixed service revenue increased 6.3%. The growth in fixed service revenue was mainly driven by TV following both subscriber base and ARPU expansion, but also from revenue growth for broadband and business solutions. Together this more than compensated for a continued decline in fixed telephony revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA margin increased slightly to 37.0% (36.9) and adjusted EBITDA like for like declined 1.7% as the growth in service revenue was more than offset by around SEK 100 million in lower contribution from pension refund compared to the corresponding period last year, this due to a rephasing of pension refund to the subsequent quarter.

CAPEX excluding fees for licenses, spectrum and right-of-use assets, remained unchanged at SEK 1,026 million (1,026).

There were no material transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 in 2024 or 2023. For information on fair value hierarchy levels and fair value estimation, see the Annual and Sustainability report 2023 Note C3 and section below.

Investments classified within Level 3 make use of significant unobservable inputs in deriving fair value, as they trade infrequently. As observable prices are not available for these equity instruments, Telia Company has a market approach to derive the fair value. Telia Company's primary valuation technique used for estimating the fair value of unlisted equity instruments in Level 3 is based on the most recent transaction for the specific company if such transaction has been recently made. If there have been significant changes in circumstances
between the transaction date and the balance sheet date, that in the assessment of Telia Company, would have a material impact on the fair value, the carrying value is adjusted to reflect the changes. The table below presents the movement in Level 3 instruments during the year.

In February 2024 Telia Company paid the amount of SEK 270 million requested by the Norwegian Tax Administration (NTA) related to the VAT audit investigation on the treatment of the supply of electronic news services during the years 2016-2018 in GET AS, which was acquired by Telia Company in 2018. The payment reduced the provision for the years 2016-2018 by SEK 140 million and the remaining amount of SEK 130 million was recognized as a deposit (asset) based on that the NTA decision has been appealed by Telia Company and it is assessed probable that the amount will be repaid after a final court resolution.
The remaining provision for the Norwegian VAT audit, which was recognized in December 2023, relates to the extended investigation for the years 2019-2022. As per March 31, 2024, this provision amounts to SEK 278 million. New Norwegian VAT legislation has been implemented as of January 1, 2023, which limits the exposure to the years 2016 – 2022.

As disclosed in the Annual and sustainability report 2023, Telia Company has arrangements with several banks under which the banks offer Telia Company's vendors the option to receive earlier payment of Telia Company's accounts payable. Vendors utilizing these financing arrangements pay a credit fee to the bank. The vendor financing portfolio also includes arrangements where the supplier issues a trade finance instrument, subsequently assigned to a bank specified by the supplier, and offers Telia Company to extend the payments terms in exchange for a price increase consideration paid by Telia Company. All arrangements in the vendor financing portfolio provide earlier payment for the vendors and extended payment terms for Telia Company. Due dates for the payables within the vendor financing arrangements are 50-360 days after invoice date, with the majority of the outstanding balance closer to 360 days. Other accounts payable outside the vendor financing arrangements have payment due dates 30-90 days after invoice date. Telia Company uses all of the arrangements in the vendor financing portfolio as integrated parts of the commercial relationships with the vendors and the liabilities are part of the working capital in Telia Company's normal operating cycle. Telia Company does not provide any additional collateral or guarantees to the banks. Based on Telia Company's assessment the liabilities under the vendor financing arrangements are closely related to operating purchase activities and the financing arrangement does not lead to any significant change in the nature or function of the liabilities. The liabilities in the vendor financing portfolio are therefore classified as accounts payable. The credit period does not exceed 12 months and the accounts payable are therefore not discounted. The total vendor financing balance is divided between five banks, where the bank with the largest balance represents 36% (30%).

On September 15, 2023, Telia Company signed the final and binding sales agreement for the sale of the operations and network assets in Denmark to Norlys a.m.b.a. (Norlys) at an enterprise value of DKK 6.25 billion (approximately SEK 9.5 billion), on a cash and debt-free basis. The valuation is equivalent to 8.9x previous segment Telia Denmark's 2022 reported EBITDA. The transaction was closed on April 2, 2024. The transaction is in line with Telia's strategy to focus on markets where there is a clear path to securing and defending leading market positions. Norlys is Denmark's largest integrated energy and telecommunications group. Telia intends to use the transaction proceeds for deleveraging purposes.
Based on the signed, final, binding sales agreement the sale was deemed highly probable within one year and the operations and network assets in Denmark to be sold were therefore classified as held for sale and discontinued operations as of September 15, 2023. Danish units that will not be sold are included in Other operations within continuing operations.
The consolidated statements of comprehensive income reflect the split into continuing and discontinued operations. The consolidated cash flow statements present cash flows for the total group, but with additional information on cash flows from discontinued operations. Operational free cash flow and Free cash flow (new definition) for the group include only cash flow from continuing operations. The consolidated statements of financial position present assets and liabilities to be disposed as held for sale. The amounts for continuing and discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements are presented after elimination of intra group transactions and balances.

In addition to financial performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, Telia Company presents non-IFRS financial performance measures. These alternative measures are considered to be important performance indicators for investors and other users of the Interim report. The alternative performance measures should be considered as a complement to, but not a substitute for, the information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Telia Company's definitions and explanation of the use of these non-IFRS measures are described in the Annual and Sustainability Report 2023. These terms may be defined differently by other companies and are therefore not always comparable to similar measures used by other companies.

Telia Company considers Free cash flow (new definition) and Free cash flow (new definition) per share, rolling 12 months to be relevant cash flow measures to understand the group's ability to generate funds for future dividends to its parent company shareholders, reduce net debt, buy back shares and make business acquisitions. From the first quarter 2024 Telia Company has changed its definition of Free cash flow. The new Free cash flow measure is considered more relevant as it is more comprehensive and gives a better understanding of the group's ability to generate funds for future dividends to its parent company shareholders, reduce net debt, buy back shares and make business acquisitions.
Previously Free cash flow was defined as the total cash flow from operating activities and cash CAPEX (Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment acquired). The new Free cash flow measure includes the following cash flows from continuing operations: cash flow from operating activities, intangible assets and property plant and equipment acquired (cash CAPEX) and divested, dividends paid to holders of non-controlling interests and repayment of lease liabilities. The new definition includes only cash flows from continuing operations because Telia Company believes this gives a better understanding of the group's future ability to generate cash.
