TeliaSonera’s Year-end Report 2014 to include non-recurring items

TeliaSonera’s Year-end Report January-December 2014 will be released on January 29, 2015. In the fourth quarter of 2014, operating income will be impacted by non-recurring items of SEK -2,232 million, of which net SEK -1,973 million relate to non-cash items. As a result of the annual impairment review, TeliaSonera will record a total SEK 1,465 million non-cash impairment charge related to goodwill and other fixed assets in Tajikistan, Georgia and Moldova. The economic uncertainty in these three countries have impacted our long term view on the value. Further, TeliaSonera will record a non-cash impairment charge of SEK 381 million associated to the WiMax operation acquired in Kazakhstan in January 2013. TeliaSonera wrote down the value of frequencies related to this operation at the end of 2013. Goodwill and remaining fixed assets will be written down at the end of 2014 due to continued absence of a 4G license and to reflect the operational performance in the WiMax business. TeliaSonera’s IT platform has been further adapted to support TeliaSonera’s convergence strategy. As a result, obsolete systems and platforms with a total book value of SEK 270 million will be scrapped or written down, reported as non -cash charges. Finally, other non-recurring costs, mainly related to redundancies as well as network dismantling in Denmark, will amount to SEK 116 million.
