Dow Jones News
Swisscom AG (SCMN.VX) Wednesday reported a 3.8% decline in
first-quarter net income, and confirmed its financial outlook for
the full year.
MAIN FACTS:
- Net revenue dropped 2.1% to CHF2.082 billion and operating
income (EBITDA) fell 2.0% to CHF1.10 billion.
- On a like-for-like basis and at constant exchange rates
revenue was 0.8% lower and EBITDA 0.9% higher.
- The 3.8% fall in net income to CHF456 million is primarily
attributable to lower operating income before depreciation and
amortisation (EBITDA).
- Excluding revenue from hubbing, Fastweb reported stable net
revenue in local currency year-on-year and reduced low-margin
hubbing revenue as planned by EUR12 million.
- Swisscom's net revenue without Fastweb contracted 0.4%, or
CHF9 million, to CHF2.29 billion.
- Assuming an average CHF/EUR exchange rate of 1.23, Swisscom
expects to close the year with net revenue of CHF11.4 billion and
EBITDA of CHF4.4 billion.
- Excluding low-margin wholesale business (hubbing), Fastweb
expects revenue to remain stable at EUR1.6 billion, and Fastweb is
expected to close 2012 with slightly higher EBITDA and slightly
lower capital expenditure compared to 2011.
- Capital expenditure at Swisscom, excluding expenditure on
mobile frequencies of CHF360 million, will total up to CHF2.2
billion. Of this, CHF 1.7 billion will be invested in Swiss
business, an increase of CHF100 million. A similarly high level of
investment is projected for the following years.
- If all 2012 targets are met, Swisscom will again propose a
dividend of CHF22 per share at the 2013 Annual General Meeting.
