Polkomtel's EBITDA takes a tumble despite rising profits

In the first nine months Polkomtel's net profit amounted to zł.665 million, a 22% yoy increase. However, its EBITDA declined by 5% yoy, reaching zł.1.47 billion. The company's average revenues per unit (ARPU) have been declining, just like those of its competitors, but with zł.75 per month Polkomtel remains the market leader in this respect. This week, Plus GSM introduced new fee plans both for individual, as well as business clients. "Our latest offer has been well received by the market. I hope that future results surpass forecasts," said Mirosław Bielicki, vice-president of Polkomtel. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) T.J.
