Regulatory press release Tele2 Group Apr 21 2022, 7:00 AM CET

Interim Report First Quarter 2022

Stockholm – Tele2 AB (“Tele2”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: TEL2 A and TEL2 B) today announces its consolidated results for the first quarter 2022.

CEO Comment
- Q1 has brought significant progress to Tele2’s business, despite a very complicated external environment. In Sweden, B2B is showing impressive dynamics with 3% top-line growth year-over-year and in B2C we announced our new partnership with NENT/Viaplay giving us a strong TV proposition as a key part of our convergence story. Overall top line growth in the Baltics reached 13% in Q1 and we also completed the divestment of T-Mobile Netherlands, marking the final milestone in our international consolidation. The tragic events in Ukraine have led to major uncertainty for many and particularly for our employees and customers in the Baltics and, together with other industry players, we are temporarily offering free calls and text messages to and from Ukraine. We remain positive about Tele2’s future and delivering on our aim of being the leading telco in the Nordic and Baltic region, says Kjell Johnsen, President and CEO of Tele2.

Highlights

  • End-user service revenue of SEK 4.9 billion increased by 3% compared to Q1 2021 on an organic basis due to strong performance in the Baltics, Sweden B2B and slight tailwind from roaming.
  • Total revenue of SEK 6.7 billion increased by 2% compared to Q1 2021 on an organic basis.
  • Underlying EBITDAaL of SEK 2.5 billion increased by 6% organically compared to Q1 2021 driven by end-user service revenue growth and cost savings related to the Business Transformation Program.
