InvestorsHub NewsWire -- March 27, 2018 - Investorideas.com, a leader in global investor news,
releases a market snapshot of recent headlines from publicly traded

opportunity represents 142 million consumers, $27k+ GDP per capita
(as measured in purchasing power parity), a growing middle class
and highly educated and trained workforce.

On March 19th, Mobile TeleSystems PJSC (NYSE:MBT) announced its Q4 and Full
Year 2017 Financial & Operating results. Alexey Kornya,
President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results
saying, “2017 was truly an exceptional year for MTS. With a stable
macroeconomic environment in our key markets and improving customer
sentiment, we delivered exemplary financial results. For the year,
Group revenue rose 1.7% and Adjusted OIBDA increased 6.2%, which
improved our OIBDA margin to 40.6%. Within our markets, we
witnessed increased data adoption and a strong surge in data usage,
which when examined in the context of a decline in subscribers
showcases our focus on increasing customer engagement and rising
ARPU. Our strong OIBDA growth and a slight decline in CAPEX
spending resulted in a near record free cash flow of RUB 71.5 bln.
This allowed us to augment our consistently generous dividend
policy through share repurchases, which since the end of 2016 has
generated an additional return of nearly RUB 30 bln to our
shareholders.”
