In the fourth quarter of 2014, our customers increased 4% YoY to reach 90 million customers, driven

by strong growth in Bangladesh and steady growth in Algeria and Pakistan. Our revenue stood at

USD 759 million for the quarter, representing an organic decline of 5% compared to the same period

last year, with an EBITDA of USD 292 million and EBITDA margin of 38.5%. Net loss for the quarter

was USD 159 million mainly due to financial expenses of USD 155 million, management fees of USD

20 million and impairment of sold assets in Burundi and Central African Republic of USD 20 million.

Our CAPEX in FY14 increased three times compared to previous year to USD 1.3 billion, due to 3G

network roll out in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as the investments in the network

modernization in Pakistan. The Company continues to invest in high-speed data networks in all three

markets to capture mobile data growth.

In Algeria, In January 2015, GTH announced the successful closing of the transaction in Algeria, the sale of a 51% interest to

the Fonds National d’Investissement (the “FNI”). The partnership with the FNI will strengthen Djezzy’s c position and

prospects with greater opportunities to build its operations in Algeria. The closing enables the Company to start a full

transformation program in Djezzy.

EBITDA decreased organically 19% YoY as EBITDA was negatively impacted by higher network costs and higher

frequency fees in Algeria. On a reported basis, EBITDA increased 135% to USD 292, resulting in an EBITDA margin of

38.5% as the 4Q13 EBITDA was impacted by one-off adjustment related to the transaction in Algeria.

Net loss attributable to Equity Holders of the Parent amounted to USD 159 million, mainly due to finance cost of USD

155 million, management fees of USD 20 million and impairment of sold assets in Burundi and Central African

Republic of USD 20 million.

CAPEX in FY14 increased three times compared to the previous year to reach USD 1.3 billion, due to the 3G network

roll out in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as the investments in the network modernization in Pakistan. The

Company continues to invest in high-speed data networks in all three markets to capture mobile data growth.

Net debt increased 23% as at fourth quarter of 2014 to reach USD 2.9 billion in comparison to USD 2.3 billion as at

December 31, 2013.

On January 30, 2015, the Company announced the closing of the sale by GTH of a 51% interest in Omnium Telecom

Algeria SpA (“OTA”) to the Algerian National Investment Fund, Fonds National d’Investissement (the “FNI”), for USD

2.6 billion. GTH will continue to exercise operational control over OTA and, as a result, both GTH will continue to fully

consolidate OTA. At closing, GTH terminated its international arbitration against the Algerian State initiated on April

12, 2012 and the parties settled the arbitration and all related claims. Total net proceeds, including OTA dividends in

respect of the financial years 2008-2013 paid to GTH, amounting to approximately USD 3.8 billion net of all taxes and

after settlement of all outstanding disputes between the parties, as well as the payment of associated fines, have

been used by GTH to pay down existing shareholder loans provided by VimpelCom to GTH.

Omnium Telecom Algérie SpA (“OTA” or “the company”) operates a mobile network in Algeria and provides a range

of prepaid and post-paid products encompassing voice, data and multimedia, using the corporate brand Omnium

Telecom Algeria SpA (formerly known as Orascom Telecom Algérie SpA) and the dual commercial brand of “Djezzy”

and “Allo”. OTA is focusing on maintaining value through key strategic pillars. These strategic pillars are oriented

towards value segmentation, distribution control, operational excellence, new revenue streams and assets

monetization, control of regulatory risks, and finally retaining key staff members as well as introducing new talent

development programs.

In 4Q14, Djezzy’s revenue decreased 6% YoY, mainly due to the Company’s delayed commercial launch of 3G.

Following the launch in July 2014, Djezzy grew its mobile customer base by 5% YoY to 18.4 million at the end of

2014, the second consecutive quarter of growth. In total, Djezzy had 1.2 million 3G customers at the end of 2014.

The market remained challenging in 4Q14 with continued aggressive price competition, resulting in a service

revenue decline of 7% YoY. Djezzy launched a new prepaid offer “Go”, which achieved encouraging uptake. Djezzy

also launched an unlimited postpaid offer “Infinity” at the end of December, which was supported by OTT

partnerships with WhatsApp, Opera Mini and the 3G “Be-Djezzy” applications. Mobile data revenue increased by

36% QoQ.

Mobile ARPU decreased 12% YoY due to the churn of high-value customers as a result of the delayed 3G services

but partly compensated by continued customers increase.

EBITDA, excluding 4Q13 and 4Q14 adjustments of the Algeria transaction, decreased 22% YoY, adversely impacted

by higher network costs, due to the 3G roll-out, higher frequency costs due to 3G frequencies and to higher 2G

utilisation rate, and HR costs.

CAPEX increased to USD 415 million in FY14 and CAPEX to revenue has also grown from 5% to 23% following the

investment in high speed 3G network. Currently, Djezzy’s 3G services are available in 21 provinces, including the

largest four provinces in terms of population.

Philip Tohme, CEO of OTA, will be departing Djezzy at the end of February. Vincenzo Nesci, Executive Chairman of

OTA, will assume his responsibilities.

Pakistan Mobile Company Limited (“PMCL”) operates under the brand “Mobilink” and has established itself as a

market leader amongst Pakistan’s Mobile network operators, providing prepaid and postpaid voice and data

services to individuals and corporate clients across Pakistan. Mobilink is focused on retaining and strengthening

its market share to achieve revenue growth, whilst continuing to reduce operational costs.

The government put in place security measures after the terrorist attack on a school in Peshawar, particularly

biometric verifications for all mobile subscriptions, which requires verification of all existing customers.

Consequently, customer growth is expected to slow down in 2015.

In 4Q14, Mobilink completed its 2G network modernization, improving the capacity of its network and secured its

leading customer market share. Mobilink’s revenue decreased 1% YoY mainly due to lower VAS revenue,

resulting from management’s decision to shift to a fully transparent charging regime, and lower voice revenue,

due to price competition. Mobilink’s service revenue increased 5% QoQ and decreased 2% YoY, showing an

improved YoY trend. Mobile data revenue increased by 58% YoY due to attractive data bundles, promotions with

free trial periods, iPhone6 launch and 3G network expansion. MFS revenue increased four times due to successful

retail promotions along with increased active agent base and footprint. MFS now represents 2% of total service

revenue.

In addition, Mobilink made a strategic decision to exit from the International Clearing House (ICH), which resulted

in higher international incoming revenue in 4Q14. Consequently, the increase in data, MFS and international

incoming revenue offset the decline in voice and VAS revenue.

ARPU decreased 7% YoY due to price dilution in an aggressive market as competitors actively matched offers. The

customer base increased 2% YoY. Mobilink maintains a policy of price simplicity and transparency, consequently

closing the gap in NPS for four quarters in a row.

EBITDA increased to PKR 10 billion mainly due to a one-off adjustment related to intercompany charges between

Pakistan and GTH, which does not impact GTH’s consolidated financial statements.

CAPEX excluding licenses in 2014 almost doubled to USD 351 million, mainly due to the 2G network

modernization and 3G roll out.

Banglalink Digital Communications Limited (“BDCL”) provides its services under two brand names: “banglalink”

and “Icon”. BDCL’s marketing strategy is oriented towards targeting different consumer segments with tailored

products and services to cater for the needs of these segments.

Banglalink continued to improve its market position in 2014, demonstrating strong performance with double-digit

YoY growth. In 4Q14, Banglalink’s revenue increased 13% YoY due to an increase in ARPU of 10% YoY and 7% YoY

growth in customer base to 30.8 million. Banglalink maintained its leading NPS in the market. The superior

customer experience is a result of attractive 3G offers and affordable smartphone promotions. Since the 3G

launch a year ago, data revenue has increased 85% YoY in 4Q14. This is the result of the widest 3G network in the

market and attractive data bundles, which enabled data traffic monetization.

ARPU surged 10% on the back of the strong growth in data revenue and customers since 3G launch in 4Q13.

EBITDA increased 38% YoY driven by revenue growth and savings on customer acquisition costs due to the

optimization of the distribution.

CAPEX increased YoY in 2014 to USD 178 million, as 2G coverage and modernization projects along with the 3G

network rollout were completed in 2014.

Glossary of Terms

Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”): Average monthly recurrent revenue per customer (excluding visitors

roaming revenue and connection fee). This includes airtime revenue (national and international), as well as,

monthly subscription fee, SMS, GPRS & data revenue. Quarterly ARPU is calculated as an average of the last three

months.

Capital Expenditure (“CAPEX”): Tangible and Intangible fixed assets additions during the reporting period,

includes work in progress, network, IT, and other tangible and intangible fixed assets additions but excludes

license fees.

Churn: Disconnection rate. This is calculated as the number of disconnections during a month divided by the

average customer base for that month.

Churn Rule: A customer is considered churned (removed from the customer base) if he exceeds the 90 days from

the end of the validity period without recharging. It is worth noting that the validity period is a function of the

scratch denomination. In cases where scratch cards have open validity, the customer is considered churned in

case he has not made a single billable event in the last 90 days (i.e. outgoing or incoming call or sms, wap

session). Open cards validity is applied for OTA, Mobilink and banglalink so far.

Minutes of Usage (“MOU”): Average airtime minutes per customer per month. This includes billable national and

international outgoing traffic originated by customers (on-net, to land line & to other operators). Also, this

includes incoming traffic to customers from landline or other operators.

Organic Growth for Revenue and EBITDA: Are non-IFRS financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and

EBITDA excluding foreign currency movements and other factors, such as business under liquidation, disposals,

mergers and acquisitions. We believe readers of this earnings release should consider these measures as it is

more indicative of the Group’s ongoing performance. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Group’s

operational results and trends.
