Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje and T-Mobile Macedonia kept the leading position on the market in the third quarter of 2012 as well, despite the strong market environment, as shown by the consolidated financial results for the third quarter of 2012, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The increasing trend of the internet and IPTV segment continues, whereas the revenues from voice services are decreasing.

Makedonski Telekom remains a leader on the market with market share of 73% in the fixed telephony and 54% in the broadband internet, in accordance with the internal estimates. The revenues from internet and digital television via internet protocol (IPTV) have increased by 3.0% compared to the third quarter of the previous year. The focus on double and triple play packages resulted in increased number of DSL customers by 6.1% whereby the customer base of DSL reached 167 thousand customers at the end of September 2012. The number of IPTV customers has significantly increased compared to September 2011 by 63.9% whereupon the number of customers at the end of September 2012 was 58 thousand. Despite the fact that the revenues from the voice services in the fixed segment have decreased by 7.6% compared to the same quarter in the previous year, with 294 thousand customers at the end of September 2012 Makedonski Telekom has retained its leading position.

The net profit for the third quarter of 2012 on the Group level has increased by 21.9% compared to the previous year as a result of the increased other operating revenues and expenditures due to the transaction for purchase and sale of real estate with an exchange, which resulted in net profit of MKD 1.88 billion for the quarter and net profit of MKD 3.65 billion for the first nine months of 2012.

“Our strategy for development of the segments of converged services, internet, IPTV has proven that we are on the right path. Nevertheless, we are determined to improve the operation in the segment of voice services, as well because there is a room for improvement. In the upcoming period we will focus on investments in the network that will enable next generation services. We will continue to focus on the double and triple play offer, broadband services, extension of the optic network, as well as enrichment of the contents of the IPTV service. It is a great success to remain a market leader in a highly competitive environment, with continuous decrease of the prices and to keep the quality of the services, which in fact is our plan.” - stated Daniel Szasz, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom AD – Skopje and President of the Board of Directors of T-Mobile Macedonia.

The intensive drop of the prices on the mobile telephony market caused a decrease of the revenues in the third quarter of 2012 as well. Despite the strong competitive environment, T-Mobile Macedonia remains on the leading position on the mobile telephony market with 1.227 thousand customers at the end of September 2012, i.e. 47.8% market share in accordance with the internal estimates.

“Our customers will continue to get the best value for their money, despite the drop of the prices that affects the quality of the services; we, T-Mobile, are planning to keep the leading position. We continue to focus on the development of the mobile internet and extension of the portfolio of smart phones, as well as new business platforms. The quality of the network remains the core of our business and the basis of the service quality, therefore we are planning large investments in the network – we recently finalized a project whereby the network of T-Mobile has four times increased capacity and we are ready for the new challenges, but also to improve the operation in certain segments where we notice drop of the revenues" - stated Zarko Lukovski, Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile Macedonia.
