Interim Report First Quarter 2014

Stockholm - Tele2 AB, (Tele2), (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B) today announced its consolidated results for the first quarter 2014. CEO comment: “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.” Financial Highlights Strong mobile end-user service revenue growth for the Group The Group’s net sales and EBITDA amounted to SEK 7,108 million and SEK 1,381 million respectively. 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 increased 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.
