Group Review
Vienna, February 23, 2011 – Today, the Telekom Austria Group (VSE: TKA, OTC US: TKAGY) announced its results for the full year 2010 and the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2010.
Summary
Year-to-date comparison:
In 2010, Group revenues declined by 3.1% to EUR 4,650.8 million driven by lower revenues from the Austrian, Bulgarian and Croatian segments while Belarus and the segment Additional Markets, which includes Slovenia, the Republic of Serbia, the Republic of Macedonia and Liechtenstein showed revenue growth. The decline was primarily a consequence of declining prices due to the competitive environment, regulatory cuts of roaming and interconnection tariffs as well as a challenging macro-economic environment.
Group EBITDA comparable, which does not include restructuring and impairment charges, declined by 9.1% to EUR 1,645.9 million in 2010. Lower revenues in the Austrian, Bulgarian and Croatian segments, which could be mitigated by further cost savings, lead to a reduction of Group EBITDA comparable. The Belarusian and Additional Markets segments recorded rising EBITDA comparable driven by growing revenues.
While restructuring charges rose from EUR 17.5 million in 2009 to EUR 124.1 million in 2010, impairment charges fell from EUR 352.2 million in 2009 to EUR 18.3 million in 2010. Restructuring charges were primarily driven by civil servants transferring to the Austrian government as well as a change of the discount rate for the existing restructuring charge. These additional restructuring charges did not materially impact the cash flow of the Telekom Austria Group. Including the impact from restructuring and impairment charges operating income increased to EUR 437.9 million in 2010 EUR 343.9 million in 2009.
Net income rose from EUR 94.9 million in 2009 to EUR 195.2 million in 2010, primarly based on an improved operating income.
Capital expenditures increased by 7.3% to EUR 763.6 million due to higher expenditures in the Austrian segment in 2010.
Quarterly comparison:
In the fourth quarter of 2010 Group revenues declined slightly by 0.9% to EUR 1,170.8 million. The fourth quarter was driven by strong demand for smartphones during the Christmas season which pushed up Equipment revenues, especially in Austria. On the whole, higher revenues from the Belarusian and Additional markets segment mitigated the impact of lower revenues from the Austrian, Bulgarian and Croatian segment as a consequence of the competitive environment, regulatory cuts and ongoing economic headwinds. The revenue growth achieved in the Belarusian and Additional markets segment was primarily driven by their rising mobile subscriber numbers.
Group EBITDA comparable, which does not include restructuring and impairment charges, declined by 15.2% to EUR 353.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2010 driven by lower results from the Austrian, Bulgarian, Croatian and Belarusian segments. Material and marketing expenses rose due to strong demand for smartphones during the Christmas season. Belarus saw a decline due to inventory write-offs and higher employee costs during the fourth quarter of 2010. EBITDA comparable growth was recorded in the segment Additional Markets with Republic of Serbia making the strongest contribution.

Segment Reporting – Change in Reporting Structure
The Telekom Austria Group has realigned its management structure due to the increasing demand for convergent products. As a result, segment reporting is now based on geographical markets, instead of the segmentation in fixed and mobile businesses. The Telekom Austria Group reports separately on the five operating segments, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Belarus and Additional Markets.
Market Environment
Telekom Austria Group operates in a highly competitive environment both in the fixed line and mobile communication markets. Moreover, regulatory measures in all segments intensify the negative impact on pricing levels. Continuous scrutiny of cost structures, improvements to productivity and operating efficiency as well as introducing innovative services in fixed line and mobile communication markets are therefore essential to the success of the Telekom Austria Group.
In Austria, the sustained migration of fixed line voice to mobile communication remains a key challenge. However, on the back of strong demand for fixed broadband and the continued success of attractive convergent product bundles Telekom Austria Group returned to access line growth in 2010. Innovative products such as aonTV further support this trend. In Austria, the Telekom Austria Group remains focused on the protection of cash flows by offering a market-oriented product portfolio and attractive pricing schemes.
In CEE, a challenging macro-economic environment, fiscal burden and a high level of competition shape the operational situation. Moreover, innovative products, such as mobile broadband and convergent product bundles have become an increasing element of the competitive environment in the Central & Eastern European region.
Regulatory cuts in termination charges and roaming tariffs negatively impacts the domestic as well as the international businesses.
Telekom Austria Group Outlook for 2011
Several negative external effects continue to shape the market environment of Telekom Austria Group. Whilst the macroeconomic situation in CEE is expected to recover throughout 2011, the Telekom Austria Group expects a delayed impact of such a recovery on its operational performance. These effects also include the unabated fixed-to-mobile substitution and the continued price pressure in the Telekom Austria Group's major markets. In addition, regulatory induced lower roaming prices as well as fixed and mobile termination rates will continue to impact the Group's results in 2011. Taxes levied on mobile communication services in Croatia pose an additional burden.
Nevertheless, the outlook for 2011 reflects the Group's confidence to be able to successfully mitigate these challenges through clear customer focus, intensified marketing of innovative products and strict cost management.
For the financial year 2011, revenues are expected to amount to up to EUR 4.6 billion. Focus on cost control will mitigate the impact from lower revenues and is anticipated to result in a EBITDA comparable, which does not include impairment and restructuring charges, of up to EUR 1.60 billion. Capital expenditures of the Telekom Austria Group are forecasted to reach up to EUR 800 million and do not include investments for license or spectrum acquisitions. Operating free cash flow* remains the primary focus of management and is expected to amount to approximately EUR 800 million.
Following the update of its cash use policy at the last Capital Market Day in December 2010, the Telekom Austria Group intends to distribute 55% of free cash flow** to its shareholders as dividends. For the years 2011 and 2012, a minimum dividend of EUR 0.76 per share has been put in place. Maintaining a stable investment grade rating of at least BBB (stable outlook) remains central to the Group's financial profile.
A leverage corridor of 2.0x – 2.5x Net debt/EBITDA comparable provides increased flexibility to balance share buybacks with growth projects. Hence, the start of share buybacks depends on the volume of potential growth projects. However, cash will always be returned to shareholders via share buybacks if leverage falls below 2.0x Net debt/EBITDA comparable. A stable business and currency environment remains a prerequisite for share buybacks.
This outlook is given on a constant currency basis.

The segment's mobile communication subscriber base increased by 5.6% to more than 5.1 million customers.
In the Austrian segment, the revenue decline of 4.4% to EUR 3,064.2 million was primarily driven by lower Monthly Fee and Traffic revenues as a consequence of lower prices as well as declining fixed line minutes.

Foreign currency translations impacted revenues in Belarus negatively by EUR 5.1 million.
In the Additional Markets segment revenues rose by 7.8% to EUR 321.1 million in 2010 and benefited from higher contributions from the operations in the Republic of Serbia and in the Republic of Macedonia.

A highly competitive environment as well as the ongoing fixed to mobile substitution of voice minutes remained the key challenges in Austria in the fourth quarter of 2010. Nevertheless, via successful marketing activities and attractive and innovative product offerings, A1 Telekom Austria achieved a return to full year fixed access line growth as well as a continued rise of mobile subscriber numbers. With an increase of 11,900 fixed access lines during the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 4,400 lines during the fourth quarter of 2009 this turnaround is a result of strong demand for product bundles based on fixed broadband as well as IPTV services.
The number of aonTV subscribers increased by almost 50.0% to more than 151,000 subscribers. Moreover, mobile subscriber growth remains driven by strong interest for smartphones as well as mobile broadband services. A1 Telekom Austria's mobile broadband subscriber base grew by 29.4% to approximately 654,000 customers in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In the fourth quarter 2010, revenues in the Austrian segment declined by 3.1% to EUR 766.9 million year on year. Higher Equipment revenues and Data and ICT Solutions revenues could partially compensate the reduction in Monthly Fee and Traffic revenues as well as Interconnection revenues.
Monthly Fee and Traffic revenues declined by EUR 19.2 million to EUR 514.6 million due to lower prices and the loss of fixed line minutes in the fourth quarter 2010 which decreased by 11.0% to 730.6 million minutes due to fixed-to-mobile substitution. A reclassification of EUR 13.9 million from other OPEX impacted Monthly Fee and Traffic revenues negatively in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Revenues from Data & ICT Solutions increased by EUR 11.4 million to EUR 60.9 million and benefited from a pickup in demand as well as a reclassification of a revenue position of EUR 8.0 million from Wholesale (incl. Roaming). The latter declined by 26.5% to EUR 42.6 million, also due to lower roaming prices following regulatory cuts.
Interconnection revenues declined by 9.7% to EUR 95.8 million due to further cuts of national and international mobile termination rates. A one-off effect of EUR 3.1 million for universal services is included in interconnection revenues in the fourth quarter 2010.
Access line growth of 11,900 lines
Revenue decline slowed down and driven by loss of fixed line minutes
Note: Detailed data of the segments are shown in the appendix on page 26
Equipment revenues increased from EUR 25.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to EUR 39.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 mainly driven by a higher demand for smartphones during the Christmas season.
Other operating income increased by EUR 2.0 million to EUR 34.9 million in the fourth quarter 2010 due to higher own work capitalized.
Stable ARPL in 4Q 2010 due to success of product bundles Average revenue per fixed access line (ARPL) remained unchanged at EUR 34.0 in the fourth quarter 2010 compared to the same period last year as the impact of product bundles could compensate the loss of fixed line minutes. In the mobile communication market, blended average revenue per user (ARPU) decreased by 7.3% to EUR 21.6 in the fourth quarter 2010 from EUR 23.3 in the fourth quarter of 2009 mainly due to lower prices and lower interconnection tariffs. Furthermore, blended ARPU declined due to a higher number of no-frills customers and a migration towards new package tariffs. Data ARPU increased by 4.3% to EUR 7.3 in the fourth quarter of 2010.
EBITDA comparable is mainly impacted by lower revenues and higher operating expenses, particularly seasonally higher material and marketing expenses during the Christmans season. EBITDA comparable declined from EUR 275.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 to EUR 219.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
Mobile subscriber acquisition costs (SAC) increased by 2.9% to EUR 17.5 million as a result of the above mentioned marketing activities such as higher subsidies for smartphones. Mobile subscriber retention costs (SRC) rose by 19.0% from EUR 23.2 million to EUR 27.6 million mainly due to higher subsidies for a higher number of handsets.
Material expenses increased by 35.2% to EUR 83.1 million due to a higher number of handsets sold. Employee costs declined from EUR 170.3 million to EUR 167.1 million as employee costs in the amount of EUR 2.3 million were shifted to the restructuring charge during the fourth quarter of 2010 due to the transfer of civil servants to the Austrian government. Interconnection costs declined by 5.0% to EUR 88.5 million as a result of further cuts in national and international mobile termination rates and due to lower volumes. Costs for services received declined by 34.1% to EUR 34.3 million due to lower inter-operator tariffs and a reclassification of energy costs in the amount of EUR 12.5 million to Other expenses. The latter rose by 26.2% to EUR 127.5 million, also due to higher marketing expenses. Costs related to the integration of fixed and mobile operations amounted to EUR 4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2010 total restructuring charges amounted to EUR 98.0 million comprising of a EUR 36.1 million charge for the transfers of civil servants to the Austrian government and an additional restructuring charge of EUR 61.9 million which was mainly a result of a change of the discount rate for the existing restructuring charge. Furthermore, an impairment of EUR 18.3 million relating to Mass Response was recorded. Restructuring charge of EUR 98.0 million
Including the restructuring and impairment charges, an operating loss of EUR 68.3 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to a operating income of EUR 78.0 million in the same period last year.

Mobiltel managed to keep its subscriber base almost stable at 5.3 million customers, while its contract subscribers increased by 6.7%, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2010. Mobile market share declined slightly to 49.6%. Mobile broadband exhibited a strong performance with the subscriber base doubling to more than 126,000 mobile broadband customers.
Strong operational performance largely mitigated the negative effects from regulatory interventions and intense competition on revenues resulting in a decline of only 1.5% to EUR 146.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the same period last year. Monthly Fee and Traffic revenues increased due to a higher number of contract subscribers driven by higher demand for smartphones as well as growth in mobile broadband. Interconnection revenues were negatively impacted by regulation as termination rates dropped by approximately 43% on a year-on-year comparison.
Average revenue per user (ARPU) declined by 3.3% to EUR 8.7 as a higher number of contract customers dampened the effects of lower mobile termination rates.
Strong operational performance and a reduction of operating expenses by 2.8% to EUR 77.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010 lead to EBITDA comparable declining only slightly by 1.4% to EUR 71.9 million.
