Operations in 2017

Improved operations a result of cost reduction

  • Salary expenses reduce by 642 m.kr. Around third is related to sale of subsidiaries. Outsourcing continues.
  • Average full-time employees (FTE’s) decrease by 78 from 2016.
  • Cost of goods sold decreases due to lower content cost, re-negotiated service agreements and lower interconnecting fees.
  • Rent decreases by 82 m.kr. from 2016.
  • IT cost increases due to sale of Staki and Talenta and outsourcing of operations.
  • Lower Gen. & ad. due to e.g. lower staff cost and reduced professional services.
  • Sales and marketing cost reduces as result of termination of the GoMobile agreement and different approach to marketing.
  • Less defaults in wholesale and retail result in lower bad debt allowance.

Wholesale and roaming revenue

Operation adjusted to changes

  • The merger of certain parts of 365 and Fjarskipti (Vodafone) will result in lower wholesale revenue at Síminn.
  • The effect is estimated to be 600 m.kr. on annual bases.
  • Will not have full effect in 2018.
  • The merger process was long and as a result Síminn had sufficient time to adjust operations to the revenue shortfall.

  • Average number of FTE’s will reduce by around 50 between 2017 and 2018.

  • For the most parts implemented before year end 2017.

  • The merger of Síminn and On-Waves is effective from 1 January 2017 and Sensa DK was acquired by minority shareholders of the Danish company.

  • The total EBITDA loss for the two subsidiaries was around 500 m.kr. during the past 2 years.
  • On-Waves continues operations post the merger and results are improving.

Dividend and share buyback

The dividend policy for Síminn hf. states that Síminn intends to distribute between 20 - 50% of after-tax profit to shareholders through dividend and/or share buyback.

The proposal at the Annual General Meeting on March 15th will be to distribute 50% by:

  1. Pay 10% of after-tax profit in 2017 as dividend, the amount is 310 m.kr.
  2. Share buyback for up to 40% of after-tax profit in 2017
