Deutsche Telekom Swings To Net Profit, Sales Slightly Lower

Dow Jones News
Deutsche Telekom AG (DT) Wednesday swung to a first-quarter net
profit despite slightly lower sales, as it benefited from easy
comparables.
Net profit for the quarter ended March 31 was EUR767 million
after a net loss of EUR1.12 billion a year ago, when the company's
bottom line was weighed down by a EUR1.8 billion impairment charge
on the goodwill of its U.K operations. T-Mobile, its U.K. mobile
operation, is now part of Everything Everywhere, a joint venture
with France Telecom's (FTE) Orange.
Sales for the period declined 0.6% to EUR15.81 billion.
Closely watched adjusted earnings before interest, tax,
depreciation and amortization, or Ebitda, the company's preferred
measure of operating performance, still rose 1.6 % to EUR4.89
billion.
Deutsche Telekom results beat expectations for sales of EUR15.61
billion and met expectations for adjusted Ebitda of EUR4.88
billion, according to a Dow Jones Newswires poll of 10
analysts.
Deutsche Telekom did not revise its 2010 outlook but amended it
for the deconsolidation of its U.K. operations. It now expects full
year adjusted Ebitda EUR400 million to EUR500 million below the
previous guidance of around EUR20 billion and an unchanged free
cash flow of around EUR6.2 billion.
Deutsche Telekom shares closed Tuesday at EUR8.82.
