  • Total revenue of SEK 7.5 billion increased by 4% organically compared to Q4 2021.
  • Underlying EBITDAaL of SEK 2.5 billion increased by 3% organically compared to Q4 2021 driven by end-user service revenue growth and cost savings related to the Business Transformation Program, which were partly offset by higher energy costs.

Comment from Kjell Johnsen, President and CEO and of Tele2
 

- 2022 saw us delivering both revenue and EBITDAaL growth, despite continued challenging conditions. This result underlines our medium-term ambition to be the leading telco in the Nordic and Baltic region.

 

- We have turned around our B2B business to profitable growth and made important steps to strengthen our TV and general B2C business by being the first telecom operator in Sweden to establish a true partnership with a major content producer. Our Business Transformation Program is also making very good progress and we are firmly on track to realize our SEK 1 billion savings ambition by mid-2023.

 

- Finally, I’m very pleased with our stellar performance in the Baltics, where we saw strong volume growth in all three markets and secured important spectrum for the upcoming 5G roll-out.  Overall, Tele2’s business delivered strong results during 2022 at the same time as renewing our business model for the future.
