Key financial and operating highlights

Group total revenues increased by 4.7% year-on-year, driven by service revenue growth in all markets except Slovenia.
Equipment revenues were higher, as increases in all international markets, especially Belarus, more than outweighed volume-driven decline in Austria.
Mobile service revenues increased by 8.4% on a Group level, due to the solid performance of mobile core business, mobile WiFi routers, as well as a partial recovery of roaming results.
Fixed-line service revenues rose by 1.6% on a Group level, as solid growth in Bulgaria and Belarus more than compensated for the decline in Austria. Continued traction of solution and connectivity business added to this.
The Internet@home subscriber base grew by 5.0%, driven by mobile WiFi routers in all markets.
The number of mobile subscribers rose by 4.1%, driven by the higher number of M2M subscribers as well as the higher number of mobile WiFi routers in all markets.
Fixed-line RGUs increased slightly (+ 0.5%), as a growth in high-bandwidth broadband RGUs outweighed a decline of low-bandwidth broadband and fixed voice RGUs.
Roaming revenues grew in Q4 year-on-year (positive impact yoy: ~1 % of revenues; ~ 2 % of EBITDA versus approx. 2 % in EBITDA in Q3 2021) due to more travelling across the footprint, while still being below pre-COVID 19 levels.
Group EBITDA before restructuring charges grew by 8.8% (reported: 9.7%) as higher service revenues and improved equipment margin more than compensated for higher core OPEX. Excluding one-off and FX effects as well as restructuring charges, Group EBITDA increased by 9.4%.

In Austria, EBITDA before restructuring charges increased by 7.3% (reported: 8.7%) driven by higher service revenues, improved core OPEX and a better equipment margin.
Excluding FX and one-offs, EBITDA in international operations increased by 10.1% (reported +8.8%). Contribution was strong from Belarus and Bulgaria in particular.

Net result declined by 6.8% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2021, as solid operational performance could not fully compensate for higher income tax expenses.
Free cash flow declined in the quarter under review despite improved operational performance, due to capital expenditures recovery after the low 2020 comparable and higher income taxes paid.
Outlook 2022: close to 3% Group total revenue growth; approx. 15% y-o-y increase in CAPEX excluding spectrum investments and acquisitions.
