FY 2018 performance:
Retail revenue grew 36% YoY relying heavily on strong data performance and higher ARPU.
Home & Consumer noted a growth of 42% YoY driven by the 45% higher data revenue.
Mobile revenue preserved almost the same pace across the year contributing a low single digit to the top line and a
high single digit to retail revenue.
Enterprise Solutions witnessed a 22% increase driven by the inflow of EGP 482mn in revenues from the schools’
connectivity project and the +13% YoY growth in fixed services.
Wholesale increased 12% YoY mainly driven by the Bharti Airtel agreement that contributed EGP 1.6bn to our financials
and the growth in infrastructure revenues.
Domestic Wholesale rose 8% YoY on the continuing demand for infrastructure leasing by domestic mobile operators.
ICA declined 9% YoY in line with the global trend of lower international voice traffic.
IC&N revenue grew 66% YoY on the completion of the Bharti deal in Q3 2018.
