Makedonski Telekom AD-Skopje and T-Mobile Macedonia maintained the leading position on the market in 2014 despite the strong market environment, show the unaudited consolidated financial statement as per the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The trend of revenue increase in the internet and IPTV segment continues, whereas the revenues from voice services are decreasing.

The sales revenues at Group level in 2014 amounted to 11 billion MKD, which represents a decrease of 11.3% compared to 2013. The operating expenses decreased by 12.7% over the last year, compared to 2013, whereas the total capital investments (CAPEX) in 2014 amounted to 1.8 billion MKD.

In 2014 new legislation was enforced, i.e. modifications to the Profit Tax were adopted which have a significant impact on the amount of the profit of the Group. The net profit in 2014 amounted to 880 million MKD, which is a decrease of 55.8% compared to the previous year. Profit before tax, excluding the tax effect, is decreased by 11.6% compared to the previous year, which is a result of the decreased revenues partially compensated with the decreased operating expenses.

In 2014, Makedonski Telekom maintained the leading position with a market share of 63.8% in the fixed line segment and a market share of 50.8% in the broadband internet segment (internal estimate). Despite the fixed voice revenue drop of 13% compared to 2013, with 237 thousand customers Makedonski Telekom maintained the leading position on the fixed voice services market.

The revenues from internet and digital television via Internet protocol (“IPTV”) in 2014 increased by 6.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. The focus on the double and triple play packages resulted in an increased number of internet customers by 2.7%, resulting in DSL customer base of 190.5 thousand at the end of 2014. Makedonski Telekom achieved excellent results in the digital television segment, as a result of the high quality service, the interactivity and the unique TV experience. At the end of the last year, the number of MaxTV customers increased by 12% compared to the same period of 2013 and amounted to 98 thousand IPTV customers.

In the mobile telephony segment, the mobile voice revenues decreased by 18.7% in 2014 compared to the previous year, as a result of the decrease of the tariffs. The trend of increased usage of mobile services continues, where the packages include more and more minutes for the same price. That resulted in the increase of the Minutes of Use (MOU) partly triggered by the continuous decrease of the tariffs. Accordingly, the decrease of the tariffs and the competitive environment resulted in the decrease of the Average Revenue per User (ARPU) by 17,2% compared to 2013.

T-Mobile Macedonia maintained the leading position in 2014 with a market share of 46.8%. In conditions of stable penetration and strong competition on the market, T-Mobile Macedonia managed not only to maintain but also to increase the number of customers. More specifically, at the end of 2014 T-Mobile had 1.197 thousand subscribers, which is 2 thousand more compared to 2013.
