Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje and T-Mobile Macedonia kept the leading position despite the strong market environment, as shown by the consolidated financial results for the first quarter of 2013, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In the first three months of 2013, the increasing trend of the internet and IPTV segment continued, whereas the revenues from voice services decreased.
Makedonski Telekom holds the leading position with 72% market share in the segment of fixed telephony and with a market share of 54% in the segment of broadband internet, in accordance with the internal data. The revenues from internet and from digital television in the first quarter of 2013 increased by 2% compared to the same period of 2012. The number of internet customers increased by 9% as a result of the focus on the double and triple play packages, which resulted in 176 thousand DSL customers at the end of March 2013.
Makedonski Telekom achieved excellent results in the IPTV service segment. In the first three months of 2013, Makedonski Telekom marked an increase of the number of IPTV customers by 71% compared to the end of March of 2012, wherein 71 thousand MaxTV customers were registered. The increase of the number of MaxTV customers is a result of the exclusive contents, the high-quality service, the interactivity, the large number of channels tailored to the needs of the family members, as well as the unique TV experience provided by the crystal-clear HD picture.
In the first quarter of 2013, the operating costs are relatively stable and have increased by 1% compared to the same period of the previous year. In the first quarter of 2013, the revenues at Group level decreased by 9% and amounted to MKD 3.1 billion. The above-stated movements on the revenues and costs side resulted in a decrease of the net profit for the first quarter 2013 by 39% compared to the same period of the previous year, resulting in a net profit of MKD 467 million.
"Fierce market competition and macro-economic conditions have strong impact on our operation. However, the results show that we have experienced growth in the internet and the IPTV segment - areas through which we plan to stabilize the revenues. We see a large potential in the data services and in the increased usage of cloud solutions, which represent the new revenue streams. Innovation is one of our key focuses this year as well as in the future. As a result of our partnerships, we will expand our business with new innovative solutions. Of course, we will also improve our efficiency, in order to satisfy customer needs and meet our targets”, said Mr. Thilo Kusch, Chief Executive Officer of Makedonski Telekom AD - Skopje and President of the Board of Directors of T-Mobile Macedonia.
The decrease of the revenues in the mobile telephony is primarily a result of the drop of the revenues from the voice retail services. However, despite the fierce price war, with 1.2 million users at the end of March 2013, T-Mobile Macedonia is a leader in the mobile telephony segment, reaching a share of 48%, in accordance with the internal data.

“The service quality, the innovations and the advanced technology are the features that differentiate us in the market. Although the competition uses all available resources in order to catch us, we do not give up our vision to remain leaders of technological changes, by focusing on the converged services, as a strong driver of the market. The mobile internet, the improved services and the new applications of the next generation, the different internet-based solutions, as well as the offer of latest smart phones, stay in our focus. The customers will get from us the best communication solutions for entertainment and for business facilitation" said the Chief Executive Officer of T-Mobile Macedonia, Mr. Zarko Lukovski.
