Positive momentum in our core Telco business reflected in robust operational performance, driving a strong start to 2023 with particular focus on convergent and mobile service growth.

  • NOS' 5G network is the most advanced in Portugal, being recognized for the third time in a row by Ookla® as the fastest 5G network, reinforcing once again independent recognition of NOS' 5G leadership.
  • We delivered another semester of positive RGU growth across all businesses and with particular strength in post paid mobile. Core value post-paid mobile subscriptions maintained a very positive trajectory with 118.4 thousand net adds in 1H23, representing 64.3% of total mobile RGUs.
  • Preference for convergence remains very strong among customers, with an incremental 24.9 thousand subscribing to integrated bundles in 1H23, accounting for 68.4% of the fixed customer base at the end of June.

  • Cinema operations kept on a path of recovery, with ticket sales rising to 2,033.7 thousand, increasing yoy by 36.8%, and decreasing only 13.7% vs 1H19, the best semester post pandemic, benefiting from the success of blockbusters on show in theatres.

Strong operating momentum and lower investment requirements driving solid financial results

  • Consolidated revenues grew by 4.5% YoY, reaching 775.2 million euros in 1H23, driving 9.4% growth in EBITDA, to 352.6 million euros. Adjusted EBITDA AL rose by 8.0% to 297.0 million euros.
  • Telco Revenues increased by 3.5% to 746.6 million euros impacted by the high volume of resale revenues booked in 1H22. Adjusting for low margin resale revenues, Telco Revenues would have grown by 4.8%. Telco EBITDA experienced yoy growth of 10.1% to 331.3 million euros. Telco EBITDA AL increased by 8.1% YoY, reaching 280.6 million euros.
  • Audiovisual and Cinema Revenues posted substantial growth of 15.2%, reaching 45.0 million euros. Audiovisual and Cinema EBITDA AL increased by 6.1% to 16.4 million euros.
  • Total CAPEX, excluding lease contracts and other contractual rights decreased by 20.0% yoy to 195.1 million euros in 1H23, reflecting an anticipated deceleration of 5G deployment, which is already close to conclusion with 90% coverage of the population by the end of 1H23.
  • Total Free Cash Flow Before Dividends, Financial Investments, and Own Shares Acquisition amounted to 64.6 million euros in 1H23, positively impacted by the EBITDA AL uplift and lower CAPEX requirements.
