Den finska mobiloperatören Elisa redovisar i dag en stark avslutning på förra året. Vinsten före skatt uppgick till 66 miljoner euro (56 miljoner euro) under det fjärde kvartalet, och det är klart bättre än vad analytikerna hade förväntat sig av rapporten.
Omsättningen steg till 383 miljoner euro (365 miljoner euro) och ebitda-resultatet till 123 miljoner euro (121 miljoner euro).
Revenues from the mobile business and new services increased. Improved productivity ensured good profitability. The general uncertainty in the economy was still reflected in the corporate customer business, although it began to pick up towards the end of the year. The competitive situation remained challenging in 2010, particularly in the mobile broadband market. However, Elisa managed to strengthen both its market position and competitiveness. The mobile subscription base grew by almost half a million subscriptions during the year. During the last quarter, it grew by more than 140,000 subscriptions, while the number of fixed network broadband subscriptions increased by over 3,000, skriver bolaget i sin rapport.
