PRESS RELEASE

CH-Regensdorf, March 2, 2018

Record results in sales and operating profit

In fiscal year 2017 mobilezone achieved record sales of CHF 1,172 million, an increase of 7.7 percent over the previous year. Operating profit (EBIT) was increased by 3.4 percent to CHF 50.1 million.

mobilezone increased its operating profit (EBIT) to CHF 50.1 million (2016: CHF 48.5 million); this is the sixth consecutive increase and clearly demonstrates the company's success.

Segment Trade reports slight increase in sales

The segment Trade includes activities in the company's branch network extending throughout Switzerland, in the online business, and in the B2B sector as well as the activities of the einsAmobile in Germany. The company continued to maintain the previous year's very positive results in the reporting year as well, despite slightly lower profitability. The segment Trade achieved an increase in sales of 6.6 percent, from CHF 1,012 million to CHF 1,079 million. The share of wholesale sales amounts to CHF 687 million (2016: CHF 618 million). EBIT fell from CHF 40.6 million to CHF 37.0 million, a decrease of 8.8 percent, which is primarily due to lower margins in the wholesale business in Germany.

Segment Service Providing reports great increase in sales and profitability

The segment Service Providing includes the company's own TalkTalk mobile and fixed-line offers as well as the service and repair business in Switzerland and Austria. Sales in the segment Service Providing grew from CHF 75.5 million to CHF 92.2 million, an increase of 22 percent. EBIT rose by 49 percent to CHF 12.1 million. Sales and EBIT came in above the previous year's figures for both TalkTalk and the service and repair business. 

Dividend proposal to the General Meeting

A dividend of CHF 0.60 per registered share will be proposed to the General Meeting on April 5, 2018. If this proposal is approved, the dividend will be paid out on April 12, 2018. Starting on April 10, 2018, the shares will be traded ex-dividend. Based on the share price at balance sheet date of CHF 12.85, this proposed dividend represents a dividend yield of 4.7 percent.
