 Poland's TPSA 1Q Net Profit +9.2%
|
Telekomunikacja Polska, Poland's largest telecommunications operator, Wednesday said its first-quarter net profit rose 9.2% on slightly improved revenues.
Group net profit at the company, which is 47.5% owned by France Telecom, rose to 450 million zlotys ($1=PLN3.1315) in the three months to Mar. 31. That compares with PLN412 million a year ago but marks a decline from fourth-quarter 2005 net profit of PLN512 million.
The figure fell short of analysts' forecasts for first-quarter net profit of PLN590 million.
First-quarter sales were PLN4.56 billion, up 2.7% on the year, ahead of the PLN4.46 billion average analyst forecast and up from PLN4.44 billion the previous year.
But TPSA said it expects its group revenue to decline by 1% to 1.5% in the whole year of 2006, following a 1% fall in 2005 to PLN18.34 billion.
TPSA reported fixed-line revenues of PLN3.02 billion in the first quarter, down 5% on the previous year but better than the fourth-quarter fall of 12% and 11.7% decline in the whole of 2005.
First-quarter mobile revenues jumped 20% on the year to PLN1.73 billion, above analysts' expectations of a 15% to 16% increase.
TPSA's mobile unit Centertel reported 10.4 million subscribers on Mar. 31, up 30% from the year before.
However, due to the growth of the mobile business customer base the company's interconnect costs rose 42% on the year to PLN127 million.
At the end of March 31, the ADSL subscriber base had grown to 1.3 million customers, up 57% on the year. ADSL provides broadband Internet access.
Analysts welcomed the company's revenue growth.
"The strong growth in revenues is a very nice surprise, and that's what counts most, said Pawel Puchalski, an equities analyst at BZ WBK brokerage in Warsaw.
The market awaits the TPSA conference call due Wednesday at 1430 GMT to get more detailed information.
But TPSA shares were weaker early Wednesday on the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
At 0856 GMT, TPSA shares were trading down PLN0.50, or 2.1%, at PLN23.00 in a rising market.
TPSA results are fully consolidated with those of France Telecom.
