• NPAT came in at EGP 1.3bn, declining 19% YoY due to a 28% YoY decline

in investment income from Vodafone resulting from one-off costs and

provisions, which offset the strong operational growth and the FX gains.

• The effective interest rate came in at 7.4%, progressing on a QoQ and YoY

basis by 35bps and 280bps, respectively thanks to the debt currency mix.

• VFE’s net income dropped 28% on a QoQ and YoY basis due to one-off

costs and provisions.

• FX gains recorded EGP 443mn due to the depreciation of the USD against

the EGP leading to the revaluation of USD dominated facilities.

• Salaries came in flat QoQ, after normalizing the EGP 210mn reversal in ERP

costs reported in Q4 2019, and only 4% higher YoY, in spite of the annual

salary raise, thanks to the savings from the ERP.

• EBITDA landed at EGP 2.3bn, growing 20% YoY with a margin of 33%

thanks to the high margin revenue mix of data and cable projects.

• D&A grew 38% YoY in line with our accelerated infrastructure expansions.

• Retail revenue rose 24% YoY driven by the growth in data and voice

revenue on an expanding customer base and healthy ARPU. This offset

the decline in other enterprise revenues (9% YoY, 61% QoQ), which are

expected to rebound during the year with the continuation of NUCA and

digital transformation projects

FY 2019 performance:

Retail revenue grew 27% YoY, representing 55% of top line with data revenue growing 33% YoY.

Home & Consumer increased 30% YoY on the back of higher data revenue, which constituted 85% of the business

unit’s total growth.

Enterprise climbed 18% YoY, mainly driven by the growing demand for managed services and fixed voice revenue

growth.

Mobile revenue grew 61%, driving 20% of overall top line growth on a growing customer base and healthy ARPU.

Wholesale landed at EGP 11.5bn, stable YoY, as domestic revenue surged (+16% YoY), neutralizing the decline in

IC&N (-15% YoY) revenue due to the base effect of the Bharti deal signed in 2018.

The continuing demand for data from MNO customers and our successful bitstream products that support their fixed

broadband growth drove Domestic Wholesale growth.

ICA came in almost flat YoY, despite the appreciation of the EGP against the USD, due to higher international

incoming traffic.
