* Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, dividend income, equity in earnings of affiliates, other non-operating income/expense, minority interests and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. This equals operating income before depreciation, amortization and impairment charges.
For the financial year 2005 Telekom Austria Group expects revenues growth of more than 5%, primarily driven by the consolidation of Mobiltel from July 12, 2005. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by more than 10%, driven by the contribution of the Bulgarian operator.
Operating income is expected to increase further, benefiting from the contribution of Mobiltel as well as from a further decline in depreciation and amortization. Including Mobiltel´s results, net income is expected to grow by approximately two thirds.
