| · Revenue down by 4.4% in Q3, which is an improvement on the H1 2013 development, with continued negative effects from regulation (accounting for approx. 50% of reported revenue decline) · Gross profit down by 3.3% in Q3 vs. -4.3% in H1 2013, positively influenced by our best mobility services performance for a couple of years · Opex savings of 5.8% resulted in EBITDA declining by only 1.4% in Q3; highest EBITDA margin ever (43.3%) · EFCF YoY growth of 14.3% · 2013 revenue guidance revised from DKK 25.0-25.5bn to DKK 24.5-25.0bn following a lower than expected revenue from low-margin areas (Nordic and handset sales) · Unchanged 2013 EBITDA, capex and DPS guidance, as higher than expected opex savings compensated for minor gross profit shortfall |
Operational
