Tele Columbus AG: Management Board adjusts Guidance for Financial Year 2018
Tele Columbus AG / Key word(s): Profit Warning/Half Year Results DISCLOSURE OF AN INSIDER INFORMATION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 17 MAR TELE COLUMBUS AG ADJUSTS GUIDANCE FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2018 Berlin, 28 August 2018. The management board of Tele Columbus AG (ISIN: DE000TCAG172, WKN: TCAG17) today adjusted its guidance for the FY 2018. As planned, the Pepcom customer migration was completed successfully at the end of June 2018. In the past weeks the Company has been driving the integration of the Group’s accounting platforms into a single ERP system. This part of the overall integration will be completed by the beginning of September 2018. Due to the finalization of the overall integration project in combination with marketing activities starting in October 2018 the new management board expects a higher recurring cost base and revenue growth delayed. Based on net sales of EUR 240 million and a Normalized EBITDA of EUR 118 million for the first half of 2018, the new management board has therefore decided today to adjust its FY 2018 outlook as follows: – Stable homes connected – Stable revenues year on year – Normalised EBITDA of at least EUR 235 million – Maximum capex of EUR 150 million The Normalised EBITDA target includes a significant ramp-up of marketing spend in the second half of 2018. Furthermore, the management board expects significantly reduced non-recurring costs year on year in the second half of 2018 translating into a largely stable year on year development of the Reported EBITDA for FY2018. The management board will publish the financial results for the first half year 2018 latest by 31 August 2018. The management board will provide an update on the growth path for the company early 2019.
