Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje and T-Mobile Macedonia have a leading position in the fixed and the mobile segment, despite the strong market environment, as shown by the consolidated financial results for the first six months of 2012. In the first six months of the year, a significant growth was marked in the Internet and IPTV segment, as a result of the strategic commitment for enabling access of the citizens in Macedonia to the innovative technological solutions and services, tailor-made in accordance with the needs and the possibilities of the customers, according International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Makedonski Telekom holds the leading position with 74% market share in the segment of fixed telephony and with a market share of 56% in the segment of broadband internet, in accordance with the internal data. The number of internet customers in the first half of 2012 increased by 5.8% as a result of the focus of Makedonski Telekom on the double and triple play packages, which has resulted with 164 thousand DSL customers at the end of June 2012. In the first half of 2012, Makedonski Telekom marked extraordinary results and growth of the number of IPTV customers by 50.4% compared to the end of June 2011, wherein the number of subscribers of the MaxTV service was 51 thousand at the end of June of this year. The increase of the IPTV customers is a result of the high-quality service, the interactivity, the increased number of HD TV channels tailored to the needs of all family members, as well as the unique TV experience provided by the crystal-clear picture of the MaxTV service.

In the first half of 2012, the sales revenues at Group level have decreased by 12.8% compared to the same period of 2011, which was mainly attributable to the drop in revenues of the mobile segment and from the fixed segment as well. In accordance with the operational results, in the first six months of 2012, the operating revenues of the Makedonski Telekom and T-Mobile Group are in the amount of MKD 6.9 billion. The above-stated movements resulted with a net profit for the first half of 2012 in the amount of MKD 1.8 billion, according IFRS.
“To address the competitive pressure in the fixed market, a repositioned portfolio was introduced during the second quarter, focusing primarily on double and triple play offers. We can be satisfied with the revenues from the internet and the digital television via internet protocol (IPTV) which increased by 2.0% compared to the first half of 2011. Although the results in this segment are encouraging, we cannot be fully satisfied with the achieved results because there is space for improvement in the operation and for increase of the revenues from the fixed telephony. In the forthcoming period, we will focus on further development of the broadband services, expanding of FTTH network and enrichment of the contents and further development of the IPTV service. Our МaxTV customers will additionally enrich their TV experience by enjoying in the matches of the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Europa League, for which Makedonski Telekom purchased the rights for the seasons 2012/2015 and which will start in few weeks. We are preparing a number of novelties which will not only satisfy the tastes of our customers, but they will also concurrently contribute to the achievement of the plans for this year", says Mr. Daniel Szasz, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom AD – Skopje and President of the Board of Directors of T-Mobile Macedonia.

In the segment of the mobile telephony, the revenues have decreased as a result of the intensive price competition. In spite of that, at the end of June 2012, T-Mobile had 1,223 thousand subscribers and it holds the leading position with 49.9% market share, in accordance with the internal data.

“In order to retain our competitive edge amongst the mobile operators, innovation remains one of our primary focus areas. Regardless of the fierce competition in the mobile segment, T-Mobile Macedonia will strengthen its position due to the fact that it has a successful and proven team behind it. We are strongly dedicated to the commitment to remain technological leaders, i.e. a company that provides modern, and above all, quality services on the entire territory of the Republic of Macedonia. The new devices, the development of the mobile internet and the converged services will be in our focus in the upcoming period. Simply put, the satisfaction of our customers is primary in our operation. They deserve the best solution or service, regardless as to whether we are talking about entertainment and enrichment of the everyday lives or facilitation and improvement of the business", says Mr. Zarko Lukovski, Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile Macedonia.
