Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje and T-Mobile Macedonia stand firmly on the leading position on the market in the fixed and the mobile segment despite the strong market environment, show the consolidated financial results of the operation for the first quarter of 2012. In the first three months of the year, a significant growth was marked in the Internet and the IPTV segment, as a result of the strategic commitment for development and greater availability of the modern and high-quality technology to the customers in Macedonia.
However, in the first quarter of the year, primarily as a result of the strong competition on the market of mobile telephony, the revenues from sale at Group level have decreased by 12.2% as compared to the same period of 2011.
Makedonski Telekom still retains the leading position in the segment of fixed telephony with a share of 75% of the market and in the segment of broadband internet with a share of 56%, according to internal data. The number of internet users has increased by 5.6% due to the focus of Makedonski Telekom on the double and triple play packages, which resulted in 162 thousand DSL users at the end of March 2012.
In the first three months of the year, Makedonski Telekom, as a result of the exceptional and high quality service, the interactive features and the unique TV experience also achieved an increase of the number of IPTV users by 26.6% compared to the end of March 2011, wherein the number of users was 42 thousand at the end of March 2012.

For the first quarter of 2012, the operating revenues of Makedonski Telekom and T-Mobile Group amount to 3.4 billion MKD. The above stated movements resulted in a net profit of 761 million MKD for the first quarter of 2012.

"With our strategy and commitment to the development of a gigabit society, we are moving in the right direction. Thus, in the first quarter of 2012, the revenues from internet and digital television via internet protocol (IPTV) increased by 7.4% compared with the same period of the previous year. The results are encouraging. However, the consumers are becoming more and more choosy and thus we will have to adapt to their demands and possibilities. In the following period, we will stabilize the revenues with the broadband services, with further development of the IPTV service, and by offering innovative products, applications and new contents. We will expand our business with innovations in the electronic payment and we will certainly also develop in other areas, by means of which we will improve our efficiency in order to have satisfied customers and to fulfil our plan", says Mr. Daniel Szasz, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom AD – Skopje and President of Board of Directors of T-Mobile Macedonia.
The intensive competition leads to a reduction of the revenues from mobile telephony. The decline of the revenues is mainly due to the decline of the revenues from retail voice services, primarily due to the decrease of the subscriber base which resulted in 1,229 thousand subscribers at the end of March 2012. However, even with this strong pricing competition, T-Mobile Macedonia held its leading position on the market with 50% market share, according to internal data.

"The competition is strong, but we are still number one on the market due to the quality of our services, the innovations and the advanced technology. Our vision is to remain leaders of technological changes by focusing on the converged services as a strong driver of the market. The mobile internet remains in our focus, in which regard our strategic commitment will continue to be the introduction of improved services and new applications of the next generation, different internet-based solutions, as well as offer of the latest smart phones on the market. As market leaders, we will bring the best communication solution that will provide both fun and socializing, as well as business facilitation. We simply owe that to our customers”, says the Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile, Mr. Zarko Lukovski.
