Comment from Jean Marc Harion, President and Group CEO of Tele2

“We start seeing impact of our transformation already in Q1. Thanks to topline growth in the Baltics and improved cost discipline across the group, we have managed to increase our Underlying EBITDAaL by 6% year on year. Due to a major cultural shift throughout the Tele2 organisation, we are evolving towards a much higher degree of cost-consciousness, systematically challenging all our purchases while also reviewing our 350 largest contracts.”

“We have also started delivering on our ambition to simplify our organisation, including a workforce reduction by 15% over 12 months. More than 450 colleagues left us during Q1 and up until mid-April when the new organisation took effect. While cost savings are a key driver, our primary ambition is to simplify our processes and the organization.”
