Comment from Kjell Johnsen, President and Group CEO of Tele2

“It feels good to summarise Tele2’s second quarter as one of good progress and solid financial performance. We deliver our 13th consecutive quarter of topline growth while progressing

with the biggest technology transformation the Swedish telecom industry has ever seen.”

“We continue to see growth across operations resulting in an overall growth level of 4% in end-user service revenue. Through diligent cost optimisation, most of this growth translates into an underlying EBITDAaL growth of 3%. In terms of cashflow, we have fully covered our dividend and leave Q2 with a leverage slightly below the target range, which testifies to a very strong balance sheet.”
