TP SA: first goals of 2010 strategy revealed

2010-01-18

TP SA wants an external company to manage its fixed-line telephony network as the outsourcing could bring the operator significant savings. Among potential operators of TP’s fixed line could be such international giants as Alcatel-Lucent, Nokia Siemens Networks and Ericsson. At present TP SA has no comment on the matter. Nevertheless, the information may be announced during the publication of the company’s new strategy that is expected for February 2010.
According to the preliminary estimates, in 2010, TP SA’s revenues are to go down to PLN 16.27bn, reflecting a 2.9% decline in comparison with 2009. In turn, the company’s net profit is to increase from PLN 1.17bn in 2009 to PLN 1.48bn in 2010, reflecting a 26% rise year on year.
The financial forecast, however, needs to be updated, as the analysts have not yet included the income resulting from the agreement between TP SA and the Office of Electronic Communications (UKE), which was signed in October 2009. In 2010, TP SA is to focus on the implementation of the agreement’s provisions, i.e., building and revamping telecommunication lines as well as improving its structures for servicing the wholesale clients.
In turn, PTK Centertel, the operator of Orange mobile network, belonging to TP SA, is to focus on the segment of business clients. According to Polkomtel, the operator of the rival Plus GSM network, in 2008 Orange was a runner-up in this segment of the market, with a 33% share.
