The measures implemented, which include the support to our sales channels and partners, avoidance of layoffs in the Group and strengthening of our network capacities, have proved to be successful. While there is still uncertainty around the duration and future impact of these exceptional circumstances, 1H20 performance allows us to be confident that MASMOVIL commercial plans will not be materially affected by Covid19

    • Capex and EFCF guidance intact: The Group sticks to its Capex guidance of €295M and €255M for 2020 and 2021 respectively, and feels comfortable with the >€2 per share Equity FCF guidance for 2021 (all of the above excluding Lyca Spain contribution and before including potential net proceeds from the sale of fiber footprint to an InfraCo as recently announced)
