Highlights of the main events
Vodafone Egypt developments
Jan 29: Vodafone Group announced that it has signed a
Memorandum of Understanding with Saudi Telecom
Company (STC) regarding the potential sale of Vodafone
group’s 55% ownership in Vodafone Egypt to STC for a cash
consideration of USD 2.4bn.
Subsequent to the quarter
14 May: China Mobile International, Facebook, MTN Global
Connect, Orange, STC, Telecom Egypt, Vodafone, and WIOCC
announced that they will partner to build 2Africa, which will be the
most comprehensive subsea cable to serve the African continent and
Middle East region. The consortium and Airtel also signed an
agreement with TE to provide a completely new crossing linking the
Red Sea & Mediterranean.
1 Jun: Telecom Egypt and Etisalat Misr signed two first of its kind
agreements relating to transmission and mobile-to-fixed
interconnection. The first agreement extends for three and a half years
with a total value of EGP 2bn, where Etisalat Misr for the first time signs
a long-term agreement including an annual commitment.
Additionally, the two companies have signed a mobile-to-fixed
termination agreement.
Feb 05: The FRA asserted that the potential acquisition is
subject to the provisions of Chapter Twelve of the Executive
Regulations of the Egyptian Capital Market Law No. 95/1992
regarding tender offers. This means that STC is obliged to
provide a mandatory tender offer to TE's shareholders with
the same price that they are offering Vodafone Group.
Feb 13: Vodafone Egypt contacted the Egyptian
Competition Authority (ECA) to determine whether Telecom
Egypt’s right of first refusal granted to the company in
Vodafone Egypt’s articles of association, if exercised,
would be compatible with the Competition Protection Law.
Feb 19: Telecom Egypt’s BoD approved the hiring of EFG
Hermes and Citi as its investment advisors and Al Tamimi

Q1 2019
Q1 2020 performance:
Top line grew 15% YoY on the back of higher data, voice revenue and cable revenues, contributing 65%, 22%, and
22% of total growth, respectively.
Retail climbed 24% YoY, representing 56% of top line and 84% of the total YoY growth.
Home & Consumer increased 30% YoY due to strong data performance (+32% YoY) and the +25% YoY hike in voice
revenues with the latter being owed to a growing YoY fixed and mobile customer base and ARPU. TE applied its entry
bundle “WE Ardy” (EGP 20/ month) to all fixed voice customers starting January 2020.
Enterprise grew 5% YoY mainly on higher voice and data revenue that offset the absence of complimentary access
projects in the quarter.
Mobile grew 53% YoY, contributing a low double digit to total retail revenue.
Wholesale reported a 5% YoY growth thanks to the rise in IC&N revenue (+41% YoY) on the recognition of a new
crossing agreement with Google.
Domestic witnessed a 5% YoY decline due to a one-off IRU sale in Q1 2019, without which, domestic revenue would
have increased 19% organically thanks to the increased demand of ISPs and MNOs for infrastructure services.
ICA came in almost flat YoY, despite the appreciation of the EGP against the USD YoY, due to increased traffic.
10
• 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.
• Advertising costs came in flat YoY, representing 2.8% of top line, 44bps
lower YoY.

• 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
