CEO Word, Q1 2018
The first quarter of 2018 marks the beginning of a year of major transformation for the Tele2 Group. Alongside the preparations for the merger with Com Hem, our business momentum, adjusted for the two non-cash one-offs we are reporting this quarter, continued with mobile enduser service revenue growth of 5 percent, and EBITDA growth of 9 percent, flowing through to a 26 percent growth in rolling 12 months operating cash flow (OCF). Looking forward to the merger with Com Hem, we are today announcing an updated shareholder remuneration and leverage policy, which we believe is highly attractive to all shareholders of the combined company.
In Sweden we are increasingly seeing the benefits of a converged full-range product offering, as our Large Enterprise business is now joined by customers that neither Tele2 nor TDC Sweden could have won on a stand-alone basis. Following a turnaround in customer momentum in 2017, we are seeing the first signs of gradually stabilizing B2B revenue. Behind the headwinds of Roam Like at Home (RLAH) and a SEK 46 million non-cash write-down of a receivable this quarter, the Swedish business as a whole was resilient with an underlying mobile end-user service revenue growth of 1 percent and EBITDA growth of around 3 percent. In the consumer segment, the underlying mobile end-user service revenue growth was 3 percent.
Our Baltic business produced another quarter of excellent momentum with mobile end-user service revenue growth of 8 percent, like-for-like, with great progress in both the consumer and B2B segments, as we have successfully responded to the rising demand for high-quality, postpaid mobile data products. Despite a competitive Estonian market, and RLAH, Baltic EBITDA grew by 8 percent, like-for-like.
On a rolling 12 month basis our Baltic Sea Challenger businesses grew operating cash flow by a solid 9 percent.
In the investment markets, our consolidated footprint performed excellently. Kazakhstan continues its relentless growth on the back of strong demand for mobile data and a well-executed monetization strategy. Mobile end-user service revenue grew 21 percent in local currency. This has enabled us to reach our EBITDA margin ambition of 30 percent one year earlier than planned, and as expected we received a second repayment of the shareholder loan in the quarter. Croatia has also accelerated its growth rate into the double digits, on the back of superior product value to both mobile broadband (MBB) and smartphone customers, with improved flow through to EBITDA as we are now benefitting from a reduction in spectrum fees.
In the Netherlands, we are preparing for the merger with T-Mobile to create a stronger competitive force in a market where we faced intensified competition in the quarter, both from MVNOs and, as expected, from FMC bundles. Our products remain competitive and we are continuing to grow our mobile customer base, although at a lower rate than in previous quarters.
Preparations for the two transformative transactions in Sweden and Netherlands are well underway. The regulatory approval processes are on track – we are in the pre-notification phase with "The first quarter of 2018 marks the beginning of a year of major transformation for the Tele2 Group."
constructive dialogues with the EC, and look forward to filing the formal merger notifications during the second quarter.
Looking forward to the merger ahead, we will be combining two highly cash generative businesses with clear synergies to create a leading connectivity provider in the Baltic Sea region. Since announcing a preliminary financial framework for the combined company in January, we have engaged with shareholders and spent more time analyzing the best financial framework for Enlarged Tele2. As a result, I am pleased to announce today an updated shareholder remuneration and leverage policy based on at least 80 percent payout of equity free cash flow as ordinary dividend, combined with extraordinary capital distribution to maintain a net debt to EBITDA target range of 2.5–3.0x. With this policy Enlarged Tele2 is expected to distribute in excess of 100 percent of equity free cash flow to shareholders, through a combination of dividends and share repurchases. The policy has the full support of the Boards of both Tele2 and Com Hem and I believe it will set the foundation for a leading shareholder remuneration and value creation for all shareholders of the combined company, and stronger than what could be expected for holders of Com Hem or Tele2 on a stand-alone basis.
To conclude, I am excited about the potential for Tele2 and what we can offer our customers and shareholders going forward. I am also proud that alongside the transformation agenda the Tele2 team has continued to deliver solid business momentum in this first quarter, as we pursue our mission to liberate people to live a more connected life. This mission, and the strategic choices that support it, will continue to deliver sustainable and long-term value creation for our shareholders, customers and employees.
Allison Kirkby President and CEO
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 B2B offerings. In addition, the Group concentrates on maximizing the return from legacy fixed line services.
Net customer intake amounted to –28,000 (–42,000) customers in Q1 2018. The customer net intake in mobile services amounted to 0 (–15,000). The fixed broadband customer base decreased by –6,000 (–6,000), with declines in both Sweden and Germany. In line with the market trend, the number of fixed telephony customers fell by –22,000 (–21,000). On March 31, 2018, the total customer base amounted to 15,319,000 (14,969,000).
Net sales in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 6,221 (5,945) million. The increase in net sales is mainly explained by strong mobile end-user service revenue growth in the Baltics, Kazakhstan and Croatia as well as more equipment sales across the footprint.
Mobile end-user service revenue in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 3,372 (3,263) million. The increase compared to last year is primarily related to customer and ASPU growth in the Baltics, Kazakhstan and Croatia. Sweden was negatively impacted by SEK –46 million related to a write-down of a current receivable (Note 2), whereas Croatia had a positive effect of SEK 18 million related to a non-recurring prepaid revenue adjustment.
EBITDA in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 1,628 (1,523) million, which is equivalent to an EBITDA margin of 26 (26) percent. The increase in EBITDA compared to last year is explained by higher profit levels in the Baltics, Kazakhstan and Croatia, driven by top line growth. Sweden was negatively impacted by SEK –46 million related to a write-down of a current receivable (Note 2), whereas Croatia had a positive effect of SEK 18 million related to a non-recurring prepaid revenue adjustment.
EBIT in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 952 (782) million and SEK 1,022 (887) million excluding items affecting comparability. EBIT was negatively affected by items affecting comparability totaling SEK –70 (–105) million, consisting of acquisition costs related to the Com Hem merger and integration costs for TDC in Sweden (Note 3).
Profit before tax in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 800 (678) million. The improvement compared to last year is explained by a higher EBIT.
Net profit in Q1 2018 was SEK 590 (495) million. Reported tax for Q1 2018 amounted to SEK –210 (–183) million. Tax payments affecting cash flow amounted to SEK –145 (–106) million during the quarter.
CAPEX in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 412 (384) million, as higher investments in Sweden and Other were partly offset by lower investment levels in Kazakhstan.
Free cash flow from total operations in Q1 2018 amounted to SEK 68 (178) million. This included a change in working capital of SEK –440 (–469) million.
Net debt amounted to SEK 10,585 (10,544) million and economic net debt amounted to SEK 9,792 (10,310) million on March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 respectively, or 1.53 times 12 months rolling EBITDA. Tele2's available liquidity amounted to SEK 10,724 (10,795) million.

Updated financial leverage target and shareholder remuneration framework for Tele2, post the proposed merger with Com Hem
The Board of Directors of Tele2 has, in agreement with the Board of Directors of Com Hem, decided to update the preliminary financial framework announced in January.
The new financial leverage target and shareholder remuneration framework are as follows:
- Enlarged Tele2 will seek to operate within a net debt/EBITDA range of between 2.5–3.0x and maintain investment grade credit metrics
- Enlarged Tele2's policy will aim to maintain target leverage by distributing capital to shareholders through:
- An ordinary dividend of at least 80 percent of equity free cash flow; and
- Extraordinary dividends and/or share repurchases, based on remaining equity free cash flow, proceeds from asset sales and re-leveraging of EBITDA growth
Based on this policy, Enlarged Tele2 is expected to distribute in excess of 100 percent of equity free cash flow to shareholders, through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.

BALTIC SEA CHALLENGERS
Sweden
Net customer intake improved versus last year to –14,000 (–53,000) due to strong sales in the large enterprise segment. Growth in postpaid largely offset the expected continued decline in prepaid and MBB.
An adjustment of SEK –46 million was made to mobile end-user service revenue and EBITDA in the mobile segment following a writedown of a current receivable relating to revenue for premium voice and SMS services (Note 2). The adjustment had no cash flow effect.
The underlying growth in mobile end-user service revenue was 1 percent, mainly driven by Comviq postpaid, however the mentioned write-down and the negative effect of RLAH resulted in a 3 percent reported decline.
Likewise, the EBITDA contribution from Sweden grew on an underlying basis by 3 percent but declined by 6 percent on a reported basis following a SEK –51 million negative impact from RLAH and the SEK –46 million write-down. The EBITDA margin of 26 (28) percent was affected by high equipment sales in the quarter.
Sweden Consumer
In the consumer market there was intense price competition in the price fighter segment, while the main brand segment was less eventful. Comviq ended its double-data campaign running since August 2017 and replaced it with an updated portfolio with larger data bundles instead.
Consumer mobile end-user service revenue was flat, but grew by 3 percent on an underlying basis adjusted for RLAH and the write-down.
Data consumption increased gradually and in line with expectations, driven partly by Comviq's double data campaign, to 6.6 (4.1) GB per month.
Sweden B2B
The B2B market continued to be competitive affecting both fixed and mobile service revenue.
Net sales growth recovered to nearly flat driven by 18 percent growth in equipment revenue, offset by 8 percent decline in service revenue, explained by the mentioned write-down and continued price competition in the Large Enterprise segment.
The positive momentum in customer growth continued and contract wins in the first quarter included new contracts with ICA Gruppen, SCB, the Swedish Tax Agency and Siemens as well as prolonged and extended contracts with Visma, SJ and PostNord.
Synergies from the TDC integration have reached the target level of SEK 300 million on an annualized run-rate basis.

| Germany | 60 | 64 | –7% |
| Other | –29 | –52 | 44% |
| Total | 1,628 | 1,529 | 6% |
Lithuania
The market competition was focused around bonus data offerings and promotions of selected handset bundles. In February Tele2 launched a new MBB concept focusing on internet mobility as a value add to customers.
The net customer intake of 16,000 (–6,000) was mainly attributable to more postpaid and MBB customers, related to the new MBB marketing concept.
Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 11 percent in local currency, mainly driven by increased postpaid residential and B2B customer base and as well as higher ASPU.
EBITDA grew by 15 percent in local currency due to higher revenue and an unchanged margin of 33 (33) percent.
Tele2 Lithuania was recognized as the Best Employer in the Baltics based on AON Hewitt research, and was recognized as a technology leader by business daily Verslo Žinios for a second year in a row.
Latvia
The market competition was largely focused around B2B and a price-oriented family offering, with high telemarketing intensity.
Net customer intake of –10,000 (–3,000) was mainly attributable to seasonal prepaid churn, while the postpaid subscriber base grew, driven by both voice and MBB segments.
Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 14 percent in local currency, driven by an ASPU increase, which was mainly related to sales of larger bundles and MBB offers.
The EBITDA margin increased to 35 (34) percent, driven mainly by mobile end-user service revenue and good cost management.
Estonia
Advertised price plans were largely unchanged, however aggressive competition in the market and high win-back rates continued to cause significant price discounting. The customer base was negatively affected by Starman-branded MBB customers moving away from Tele2's network following the acquisition of Starman by Elisa.
Increased equipment sales resulted in overall revenue growth. However, mobile end-user service revenue declined by 8 percent in local currency due to the competitive environment and lower pricing.
This also had a negative effect on EBITDA, and the margin declined to 19 (27) percent.
In connection with new management joining Tele2 Estonia at the start of Q2, a broad range of measures has been initiated, including an overview of our cost base, marketing practices and product offerings.
INVESTMENT MARKETS
Kazakhstan
The pricing environment was largely sustained in the quarter, with competition mainly in the form of temporary campaigns and zerorated features for social networks and video streaming services. New price plans were launched in the quarter for both the Tele2 and Altel brands, aiming to support further ASPU growth. Average monthly data consumption grew to 8 GB per customer in the quarter.
Mobile end-user service revenue grew by 21 percent in local currency, driven by an increase in the customer base and a rising ASPU due to a gradually improving price and product mix over the past 12 months, as well as increased usage.
The EBITDA margin reached the mid-term target of 30 (19) percent, a year ahead of plan, driven by higher service revenue and improved operational efficiency.
CAPEX was below budget in Q1 but is expected to increase in coming quarters.
Croatia
Competition was largely focused on convergent offers and short-term promotions with extra mobile data both on main and sub-brands. Tele2 continued building on its fearless identity and its unique position offering unlimited data on both smartphones and mobile broadband. During Q1, Tele2 insourced 6 additional stores from partners and now has 12 own stores in 9 Croatian cities.
The net customer intake improved on the back of a better gross intake driven by pre to postpaid migration, and lower prepaid churn. Helped by this and by higher ASPU, mobile end-user service revenue growth accelerated to around 11 percent on an underlying basis. In addition, a one-time positive revenue adjustment of SEK 18 million was reported in the quarter relating to a prepaid product.
EBITDA of SEK 52 million included the mentioned SEK 18 million adjustment and a reduction in spectrum fees resulted in a saving of SEK 15 million in the quarter.
CASH GENERATOR
Germany
The decline of the customer and revenue base continued, although slower than anticipated which is due to focused, customer-value driven retention campaigns that have reduced the churn rate. Mobile end-user service revenue declined by 14 percent.
The EBITDA margin was 43 (39) percent in the quarter, as the revenue decline was compensated by lower termination rates and reductions of costs for customer service and bad debt. The focus on value retaining campaigns and the cost discipline resulted in a cash flow significantly above what was expected in the quarter.
Other items
Risks and uncertainty factors
Tele2's operations are affected by a number of external factors. The risk factors considered to be most significant to Tele2's future development are insufficient spectrum availability, changes in regulatory legislation, market dynamics, failure to deliver on strategic transformation initiatives, operations in Kazakhstan, failure of network IT and infrastructure, data protection and cyber security, instability in partnerships and Joint Ventures, unstable geopolitical conditions, and financial risks such as currency risk, interest risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, risks related to tax matters and impairment of assets. Additionally, there is a risk that Tele2 may not be able to obtain sufficient funding for its operations. Please refer to Tele2's annual report for 2017 (Administration report and Note 2) for a detailed description of Tele2's risk exposure and risk management.
The Supreme Court of the Netherlands as the final instance found in 2016 that mobile contracts that are bundled with a free or discounted device are to be treated as consumer credit or installment purchases. Accordingly, such contracts are subject to the Dutch consumer credit law. Contracts that do not comply with the new consumer credit regulations can be rescinded. As of May 1, 2017, the indirect sales partner of Tele2 Netherlands is the customer's contracting party for the sale of the handset, and Tele2 is the offeror of the handset credit. As a consequence, sales of handsets by indirect sales partners are not reported as revenue by Tele2. In addition, the consumer credit regulations may potentially have an adverse effect on sales of subscriptions bundled with handsets in the market going forward.
On April 25, 2017, the European Commission initiated an investigation on the premises of Tele2 in Kista about possible anti-competitive cooperation between operators in the mobile market and/or possible abuse of collective dominant position. Similar investigations were simultaneously initiated towards other Swedish mobile network operators.

NOTE 2 NET SALES
In Q1 2018, mobile end-user service revenue in Sweden was negatively affected by SEK 46 million as a result of the revaluation of a receivable relating to revenues for premium voice and SMS services provided in the period June 2016 to December 2017. The revaluation had no cash flow effect.

NOTE 3 OPERATING EXPENSES EBITDA
Tele2 Croatia has as part of its ordinary course of business entered into factoring agreements with Croatian banks, whereby Tele2 assigns to the banks some of its accounts receivables relating to third party distribution of prepaid vouchers. One of the third-party distributors, Tisak, is part of the Croatian Agrokor Group that currently is facing liquidity and solvency problems. Since the banks have not been able to collect payment for assigned and due accounts receivables from Tisak, they have instead requested payment from Tele2. In Q4 2017, a provision for doubtful receivables was recorded affecting the EBITDA in Croatia negatively by SEK 89 million related to this factoring dispute and receivables on Tisak. The collection process is still ongoing with a number of different activities in process.

NOTE 4 OTHER FINANCIAL ITEMS
Other financial items in the income statement consist of the following items.

| Total other financial items | –83 | –31 | –338 |
The previous put option obligation in Kazakhstan was in 2016 replaced with an earn-out obligation representing 18 percent economic interest in the jointly owned company in Kazakhstan. To cover for the estimated earn-out obligation, that is based on fair value, the earn-out obligation was on March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 valued at SEK 504 (432) million and reported as a financial liability with fair value changes reported as financial items in the income statement. The change in fair value on March 31, 2018 is related to a continuation of the positive trend in the Kazakhstan operation. The fair value estimate is sensitive to changes in key assumptions supporting the expected future cash flows for the jointly owned company in Kazakhstan. A deviation from the current assumptions regarding the fair value would impact the earn-out liability.
NOTE 5 TAXES
The difference between recorded tax expense for the Group and the tax expense based on tax rate in Sweden of 22 percent, consists of the below listed components.

In Q4 2017, taxes were positively affected by a reassessment of the previously not recognized deferred tax assets relating to loss carry forwards and temporary differences in Kazakhstan of SEK 478 million.
In Q1 and Q3 2017, taxes were positively affected by a valuation of deferred tax assets in Germany of SEK 19 million and SEK 62 million respectively.
In Q2 2017, the Administrative Court in Stockholm rejected Tele2 Sweden's claims for a deduction of interest expenses on intra-group loans related to the years 2013 and 2014 according to interest limitation rules introduced in 2013. Tele2 has appealed the Administrative Court's rulings. The decision did not have any effect on Tele2's results since the amounts were already reserved. As of March 31, 2018 the reserved amount was SEK 319 million related to interest expense deductions made in the years 2013 and onwards.

On January 10, 2018 Tele2 announced the merger plan with Com Hem, Sweden. Tele2 has obtained committed financing for the merger in the form of a bridge facility from a group of three banks with conditions to drawdown that are usual and customary for this type of facility. Please refer to Note 11.
At present, Tele2 has a credit facility with a syndicate of banks. The facility has a tenor of five years with two one-year extension options. In Q1 2017, the facility was extended with one year to 2022 and in Q1 2018 with additionally one year to 2023. The facility amounts to EUR 760 million. In 2016, Tele2 entered into a six-year loan agreement with European Investment Bank (EIB) amounting to EUR 125 million. On March 31, 2018 both facilities were unutilized. On April 6, 2018, the EIB facility was utilized by EUR 125 million.
At the time of the acquisition of Tele2 Kazakhstan the company had an existing interest free liability to the former owner Kazakhtelecom. On March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the reported debt amounted to SEK 29 (26) million and the nominal value to SEK 306 (289) million.
Transfer of right of payment of receivables
In Q1 2016 and onwards, Tele2 Sweden started to transfer the right for payment of certain operating receivables to financial institutions. The receiving payment obtained from financial institutions, in relation to the transfer of right of payment of receivables for sold handsets and other equipment, has been netted against the receivables in the balance sheet and resulted in a positive effect on cash flow. During 2018, the right of payment transferred to third parties without recourse or remaining credit exposure for Tele2 corresponded to SEK 302 (Q1 2017: 417, and full year 2017: 1,327) million.
Classification and fair values
Tele2's financial assets consist mainly of receivables from end customers, other operators and resellers as well as 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 2018, 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 except for the adoption from January 1, 2018, of an expected credit loss model for financial assets triggered by IFRS 9.

Contingent assets
In May 2016, the Stockholm District Court ordered Telia to pay damages to Tele2 concerning Telia's abuse of its dominant position on wholesale ADSL-services. The judgement was appealed by both parties and the Court of Appeal has on December 21, 2017 passed its judgement in the case and thereby rejected Tele2´s damage claim and obliged Tele2 to cover Telia´s costs for trial (approximately SEK 24 million). Tele2 has appealed the Court of Appeal´s judgement. Due to the uncertainty in the final outcome Tele2 has not recognized any revenues or costs relating to the case.
Contingent liabilities
Tele2 has obligations to dismantle assets and restore premises within fixed telephony and fixed broadband in the Netherlands. Tele2 assesses such dismantling as unlikely and consequently only reported this obligation as contingent liabilities.
Additional information about other contractual commitments is provided in Note 29 in the 2017 Annual Report.

The completion of the merger is subject to, inter alia, approval by the shareholders of each of Tele2 and Com Hem at their respective Extraordinary General Meetings, which are currently expected to be held in second half of 2018 as well as approval from the relevant competition authorities. The merger is expected to be completed during second half of 2018.
Additional information about acquisitions made in 2017 is provided in Note 15 in the 2017 Annual Report.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Tele2 Netherlands
On December 15, 2017 Tele2 announced that Tele2 and Deutsche Telekom have agreed to combine Tele2 Netherlands and T-Mobile Netherlands. Tele2 will hold a 25 percent share in the combined company and receive a cash payment of EUR 190 million upon closing. The combined company will be a stronger customer champion in the market and enable technology investments to the benefits of the Dutch population.
The establishment of the combined company is subject to regulatory approval by the relevant competition authorities. The transaction is therefore expected to close in the second half of 2018. As a part of the agreement, there is a break fee amounting to EUR 25 million that Tele2 will receive, in case the transaction should not be approved by the relevant authorities.
Net sales
In Q1 2017, net sales in Netherlands was positively affected by a SEK 53 million revaluation of handset receivables.
EBITDA
In Q4 2017, the EBITDA for fixed broadband in Netherlands was positively affected by SEK 97 million, as well as interest income of SEK 23 million reported as financial items, related to a finally resolved dispute with KPN concerning retroactive fees for collocation of broadband equipment.
In Q2 2017, the EBITDA for fixed broadband in Netherlands was negatively affected by SEK 64 million related to the provision for the ongoing dispute with KPN concerning retroactive price adjustment for rented copper lines.
In Q1 2017, the EBITDA in Netherlands was positively affected in total by SEK 95 million of which mobile by SEK 77 million, as a result mainly of the revaluation of handset receivables as stated above and fixed broadband by SEK 18 million as a result of a settlement of a dispute.
In Q4 2016, a provision for a dispute was recorded in Netherlands affecting the EBITDA for mobile negatively by SEK 36 million.
EBIT
In Q4 2017, the profit/loss on disposal of operation in Netherlands was negatively affected by SEK 71 million related to sales costs.
In Q4 2017, a goodwill impairment loss of SEK 1,194 million was recognized (as cost of service provided) related to the cash generating unit Netherlands. The impairment was based on a valuation of Tele2's share in the combined Tele2 and T-Mobile operations, a merger which was announced in December 2017. In the latest assessment of the standalone plan, the investments needed to reach a sustainable operation were deemed to be more challenging than previously expected. This was not fully balanced by the incremental value created by the announced merger with T-Mobile.

NOTE 12 IFRS 15 REVENUES FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
On January 1, 2018 Tele2 changed the accounting principles for revenues from contracts with customers, by applying IFRS 15, with retrospective application. Description of the changes as a result of applying IFRS 15 and the effects on the full year 2017 are found in the 2017 Annual Report, Note 35. The impairment loss in Netherlands reported in Q3 2016, has been adjusted due to the positive effect on the booked value of Tele2 Netherlands following the adoption of IFRS 15. Incremental costs incurred when obtaining a contract with a customer are capitalized, these costs are typically retailer commissions or sales bonuses. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the average customer life period, assessed at portfolio level. Amortization is recognized as an operational cost, in order for this cost to be reflected in the operational business.
| Amortization periods are the following: | |
|---|---|
| Consumer contracts | 3–24 months |
| Business contracts | 3–72 months |
The effects per quarter and on segment reporting are stated below.
