Interim Report First Quarter 2014
Continued focus on mobile
Increased customer intake on several markets
Q1 2014 HIGHLIGHTS
Strong mobile end-user service revenue growth for the Group
■ In the quarter, mobile end-user service revenue grew by 3 percent amounting to SEK 3,600 (3,496) million. This trend was driven by positive usage of mobile data, compensating less revenue from mobile voice and SMS.
Robust operational performance in Tele2 Sweden
■ Mobile end-user service revenue in Sweden grew by 3 percent Q1 2014, driven by in creased usage in the postpaid segment. The mobile EBITDA contribution in the quarter was SEK 745 (732) million.
Maintained positive customer intake within mobile for Tele2 Netherlands
■ Tele2 Netherlands continued to gain market share by adding 47,000 (57,000) customers and taking the total mobile customer base to 741,000 (535,000). Mobile end-user service revenue amounted to SEK 273 (197) million growing by 39 percent in Q1 2014.
Strategic review of Tele2 Norway
■ Tele2 Norway had a net intake of 14,000 (-4,000) in the quarter, leading to a total customer base of 1,132,000. In Q1 2014, One Call became the third largest mobile operator in Norway in terms of customers, reaching 423,000 users. A strategic review of the Norwegian business was initiated, following the result of the license auction in December 2013.
Positive customer intake for Tele2 Kazakhstan
■ Tele2 Kazakhstan's work to improve its commission structure since the previous quarters yielded a positive sequential customer intake of 20,000 compared to -393,000 in Q4 2013. End-user service revenue grew by 11 percent in Q1 2014 amounting to SEK 216 (195) million. Thanks to improved operational scale and lower interconnect levels, EBITDA amounted to SEK 1 (-45) million, the first positive quarter since commercial launch.
Divestment of Swedish residential cable and fiber operations
■ On October 23, 2013 Tele2 announced the sale of its Swedish residential cable and fiber operations to Telenor for SEK 793 million. The sale was completed on January 2, 2014 after approval by regulatory authorities and the capital gain in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 257 million.

CEO Word, Q1 2014
The first quarter 2014 showed good progress as several markets made operational improvements. The growth profile within mobile services was maintained in the quarter, with a solid 3 percent mobile end-user service revenue growth. Marketing efforts in the Netherlands and Sweden resulted in higher operational expenditures which, as foreseen, led to lower EBITDA contribution. I believe that these efforts will yield improved results in the coming quarters.
Our Swedish operations continued to demonstrate good end user service revenue growth during the quarter. The demand for 4G enabled smartphones was stronger than ever. And with better equipped customers, the data traffic trend maintained its trajectory. To drive demand even further, we proactively offered streaming services to our customers, such as HBO Nordic. Our efforts to create Sweden's best 4G network received recognition in the quarter, when our infrastructure was rated best in class by OpenSignal.
Our Dutch consumer fixed broadband started to show improvement, and lower customer churn proves that our measures are working. We now have a clear view on how to
develop this business going forward and our expectation is to see further improvements in the quarters to come. The mobile business is maintaining its momentum, taking market share through an innovative pricing and packaging strategy. Competition has increased, in accordance with our forecast, but we continue to lead when it comes to the data centric pricing model. The network roll-out achieved important technical milestones in the quarter and we will enable off-loading for our customer, so that they can start enjoying our 4G capabilities.
Our Norwegian operation performed well, with robust customer intake. We initiated an evaluation of the Norwegian businesses to explore various strategic options and ensure the best outcome for our shareholders. As this process is ongoing, our plan for the business
"Our focus for 2014 is clear. The Netherlands and Kazakhstan is building a mobile business for the future, contributing strongly to overall growth. Sweden stands as the role model when it comes to creating a profitable and data centric business model."
remain unchanged and we will continue our commercial efforts, being the mobile challenger of the Norwegian market.
Tele2 Kazakhstan's efforts to improve its customer management yielded solid results in the quarter and we once again started to add customers to our operations. The network roll-out maintained its fast pace and our technical team added 89 sites in the quarter. As a result, we should be able to match the competition's technical and geographic capabilities by the end of the year.
Tele2 Lithuania had to face a price war during the quarter and did a splendid job fending off the competition. The successful outcome is largely the result of our strong corporate culture – knowing what to do
and how to do it in a cost efficient way. In the case of Lithuania, the outcome was an improved market position fuelled by customer acquisition and increased revenue market share.
Our focus for 2014 is clear. The Netherlands and Kazakhstan are building a mobile business for the future, contributing strongly to overall growth. Sweden stands as the role model when it comes to creating a profitable and data centric business model. The strategic review of our Norwegian business will continue with the aim to find a solution that will maximize value for our shareholders.

Financial Overview
Tele2's financial performance is driven by a consistent focus on developing mobile services on own infrastructure, complemented in certain countries by fixed broadband services and business-tobusiness offerings. Mobile net sales, which grew compared to the same period last year, combined with greater efforts to develop mobile services on own infrastructure have had a positive impact on Tele2's EBITDA. The Group will concentrate on maximizing the return from fixed-line.
Net customer intake amounted to 3,000 (211,000) in Q1 2014. The customer intake in mobile services amounted to 68,000 (313,000). This development was mainly driven by positive customer intake in the Netherlands, Kazakhstan and Germany. The fixed broadband customer base decreased by -18,000 (-34,000) customers in Q1 2014, primarily attributable to Tele2's operations in the Netherlands and Sweden. As expected, the number of fixed telephony customers fell in Q1 2014 amounting to 1,033,000 (1,285,000). On March 31, 2014 the total customer base amounted to 14,382,000 (15,657,000) impacted by –385,000 from the sale of the Swedish cable and fiber operations (see note 1).
Net sales in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 7,108 (7,298) million. The net sales development was mainly a result of lower interconnect levels within mobile services (see page 17 for mobile external net sales split) and negative net sales development within consumer fixed telephony and fixed broadband, following the sale of the Swedish cable and fiber operations. However, end-user service revenue continued to grow by 3 percent for mobile services in the quarter.
EBITDA in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 1,381 (1,488) million, equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 19 (20) percent. The EBITDA development was positively affected by SEK 8 million as a result of decisions by PTS, the Swedish National Regulatory Agency (see note 2). The operational development was also affected by expansion costs in the mobile segment, tougher competition in the fixed broadband segment and a decreasing fixed telephony customer base.
EBIT in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 612 (668) million excluding oneoff items. Including one-off items and capital gain from the sale of the Swedish residential cable and fiber operations (see note 10), EBIT amounted to SEK 854 (670) million.
Profit before tax in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 712 (553) million.
Net profit in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 475 (353) million. Reported tax for Q1 2014 amounted to SEK -237 (-200) million. Tax payment affecting cash flow amounted to SEK -125 (-155, excluding Russia) million. Deferred tax assets amounted to SEK 2.6 billion at the end of the quarter.
Cash flow after CAPEX in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK -555 (-1,293, excluding Russia) million mainly due to negative movement in working capital and mobile network roll-outs in Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway and Kazakhstan.
CAPEX in Q1 2014 amounted to SEK 963 (2,123) million, driven principally by further network expansion in Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway and Kazakhstan.
Net debt amounted to SEK 7,691 (16,471) million on March 31, 2014, or 1.31 times 12-month rolling EBITDA. Tele2's available liquidity amounted to SEK 8,521 (11,057) million (see Note 3 for further information on financial debt).
EBITDA/EBITDA margin
Financial Guidance
The following assumptions should be taken into account when estimating the 2014 results of the Group:
- Tele2 expects total revenue of approximately SEK 30.0 billion.
- Tele2 expects EBITDA of approximately SEK 6.0 billion.
- Tele2 forecasts a CAPEX level of approximately SEK 4.5 billion.
The result of the Norwegian license auction and the sale of residential cable and fiber operations in Sweden have been taken into account in the forward-looking statement for 2014.
Shareholder remuneration
Tele2 will seek to pay a progressive ordinary dividend of 50 percent or more of net income excluding one-off items. Extraordinary dividends and the authority to purchase Tele2's own shares will be sought when the anticipated total return to shareholders is deemed to be greater than the achievable returns from the deployment of the capital within the Group's operations or the acquisition of assets within Tele2's economic requirements.
In respect of the financial year 2013, the Board of Tele2 AB recommends an ordinary dividend payment of SEK 4.40 (7.10) per ordinary A or B share to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in May 2014.
Balance sheet
Tele2 has a target net debt to EBITDA ratio of between 1.25 and 1.75 times over the medium term. The Group's longer term financial leverage should be in line with the industry and the markets in which it operates, and reflect the status of its operations, future strategic opportunities and obligations.

The Netherlands
During Q1 2014, Tele2 Netherlands maintained its strong growth in the mobile segment.

In Q1 2014, Tele2 Norway reported an end-user service revenue of SEK 696 (775) million. The decrease was mainly due to lower ARPU driven by increased price competition in the market.
Tele2 Norway reached an EBITDA of SEK 10 (27) million during the quarter. The EBITDA development was negatively affected by higher NRA costs, but balanced by lower expansion costs and more traffic in own network compared to the same period last year.
Sales campaigns for all brands focused on bucket plans including "all you can eat" voice and SMS subscriptions. The aim was to increase the share of fixed fee subscriptions in order to secure revenue streams. At the end of the quarter, 77 percent of Tele2's and One Call's customers had fixed fee subscriptions.

EBITDA was also impacted by increased competition and amounted to SEK 108 (117) million. However, Tele2 Lithuania managed to maintain a healthy EBITDA margin of 36 (40) percent.
Due to intensified price pressure from competition, Tele2 Lithuania will work to further improve its retention activities.

The efforts yielded good result and end user service revenue remained stable at SEK 128 (128) million even though competition remained high in the quarter.
Tele2 Latvia worked during the quarter on maintaining its efficiency despite a high level of competition in the market. However, as a result of increasing price competition, the EBITDA margin decreased to 29 (33) percent.
Tele2 Latvia will pursue its active position in the market while maintaining its focus on revenue growth, customer satisfaction and future development.

The solid growth in the mobile segment was hedged by strong financial performance in the fixed and broadband segments, despite the continuing declining market trend in these areas.
Mobile The mobile segment continued its positive performance and provided stable and solid net intake, adding 20,000 (12,000) new customers in the quarter. The segment became in the quarter the strongest net sales contributor, as this growth fully compensated for the decline in the fixed segment. Net sales amounted to SEK 104 (66) million. During the quarter, both mobile sub-segments (regular mobile services and fixed-via-mobile services) saw a strong demand for voice and data bundles and up-sale potential with SMS and additional data package options.
Fixed broadband and telephony In Q1 2014, both the fixed telephony (Carrier Pre-Selection and Open Call-by-Call) and the fixed broadband segments followed the general declining market trend. Nevertheless, these segments continued to show strong financial performance above expectations due to stringent customer base management.
Other Items
Risks and uncertainty factors

The effect on EBITDA is stated in Note 2.
CUSTOMERS
In Q1 2014, the fixed broadband customer stock in Sweden decreased with -385,000 customers as a result of the sale of the Swedish residential cable and fiber operations. For additional information please refer to Note 10.
In Q4 2013, the definition of an active customer in the customer stock was changed to exclude Machine-to-Machine subscriptions (M2M). The one time effect on the customer stock in each segment is presented below:
| Total mobile | – 93,000 |
|---|---|
| Estonia | – 3,000 |
| Latvia | – 3,000 |
| Lithuania | – 13,000 |
| Croatia | – 1,000 |
| Kazakhstan | – 4,000 |
| Norway | – 4,000 |
| Netherlands | – 8,000 |
| Sweden | – 57,000 |
In Q2 2013, the mobile customer stock was negatively impacted by a one-time adjustment of -844,000 customers as a result of a changed method for calculating number of customers so a customer with only incoming calls to its voicemail is no longer counted as an active customer. -811,000 of the one-time adjustment related to Kazakhstan and -33,000 to Norway.
In Q4 2012, the fixed line customer stock in Sweden was negatively impacted with -87,000 customers as a result of the closing down of the dial-up internet service.
NOTE 2 OPERATING EXPENSES EBITDA
In Q1 2014, the EBITDA in Sweden was positively impacted by SEK 8 million as a result of decisions by PTS, as stated in Note 1, regarding termination rates for previous periods, of which mobile amounted to SEK 35 million, fixed broadband to SEK -15 million and fixed telephony to SEK -12 million.
In Q4 2013, EBITDA in Norway was negatively affected by SEK 35 million due to employee restructuring costs.

In Q4 2013, Kazakhstan was negatively affected by SEK 89 million, related to an impairment loss of SEK 73 million due to change to a new billing system and an extra depreciation of SEK 16 million.
In Q3 2013, an impairment loss on non-current assets was recognized in Croatia amounting to SEK 454 million. The impairment loss was based on an estimated value in use of SEK 400 million by using pre-tax discount rate of 10 percent. Due to unsatisfactory development, Tele2 assessed that the estimated future profit levels did not support the previous book value. The negative effect was reported as a one-off item for segment reporting purposes.

CLASSIFICATION AND FAIR VALUES
Tele2's financial assets consist mainly of receivables from end customers, other operators and resellers and cash and cash equivalents. Tele2's financial liabilities consist mainly of loans, bonds and accounts payables. Classification of financial assets and liabilities including their fair value is presented below. During the first three months 2014, compared to year-end 2013, no transfers were made between the different levels in the fair value hierarchy and no significant changes were made to valuation techniques, inputs used or assumptions.
The Group has derivative contracts which are covered by master netting agreements. That means a right exists to set off assets and liabilities with the same party, which is not reflected in the accounting where gross accounting is applied. The value of reported derivatives at March 31, 2014 amounted on the asset side to SEK 13 (8) million and on the liabilities side to SEK 183 (146) million.

On December 31, 2013 Tele2 Sweden was defendant in a dispute with Verizon Sweden AB of SEK 220 million. On February 7, 2014 the District court issued its award and ruled in favor of Tele2. The opponent has appealed the judgement. Tele2 assesses the likelyhood of the opponent to win the case as remote.
Tele2 has obligations to dismantle assets and restore premises within fixed telephony and fixed broadband in the Netherlands as well as in Austria. Tele2 assesses such dismantling as improbable and consequently only reported this obligation as contingent liabilities.
The tax authorities in Russia are currently performing tax audits on several of Tele2's former subsidiaries in Russia. Per the sales agreement with the VTB-group Tele2 is liable for any additional taxes payable as result of the tax audits. Even though it cannot be ruled out that Tele2 may be liable to certain costs, Tele2 assesses that it is not likely that any additional taxes need to be paid and consequently no provision has been made.
Additional contractual commitments are stated in Note 29 in the Annual Report 2013.

DIVIDEND/REDEMPTION
Tele2's Board of Directors has proposed an ordinary dividend of SEK 4.40 per share in respect of the financial year 2013 to the Annual General Meeting in 2014.
In Q2 2013, Tele2 paid to its shareholders a dividend of SEK 7.10 per share for 2012. This corresponded to a total of SEK 3,163 million. As a result of the sale of Tele2 Russia in April 2013 a mandatory share redemption program of SEK 28 per share was issued during Q2 2013, equivalent to SEK 12,474 million. The redemption program implied a share split where each share was split into two shares, of which one was a redemption share. Retirement of redemption shares in own custody of SEK 92 million was transferred to unrestricted equity. A bonus issue was performed in order to increase the share capital to its prior level, SEK 561 million, through a transfer of SEK 280 million from unrestricted equity. Thereafter, the quota value of each share amounts to SEK 1.25, the same as prior to the share redemption program. In total SEK 15,637 million was paid to the shareholders in Q2 2013 as dividend and redemption.
