For additional information, please contact Adrian de los Santos, Investor Relations Officer and Corporate Finance Director at IR@axtel.com.mx
Highlights:
- The Company's EBITDA increased 13% in the fourth quarter compared to the same quarter in 2010. This improvement occurred despite the phasing-out of a large wholesale customer contract. Excluding this customer, EBITDA would have increased 23% year-over-year.
- Total revenues increased 2% during the quarter, and 5% if the wholesale customer contract is excluded, supported mainly by the combined growth of the mass-market and enterprise core businesses.
- Broadband subscribers increased 29 thousand in the fourth quarter, totaling 122 thousand in 2011, an increase of 39% for the year. The number of AXTEL X-tremo or FTTH subscribers increased 15 thousand during the quarter, and now represents 11% of the 436 thousand total broadband subscriber base.
- During the fourth quarter, revenues from integrated IT and telco solutions continued to grow, now representing 27% of the enterprise segment's revenues, or 12% of AXTEL's total revenues.
