Drillisch AG (ISIN DE 0005545503) is implementing its profitable growth
strategy in the new MBA MVNO business model as planned. Due to the positive
development of operative business in October and in November 2015, we now
expect an EBITDA amounting to EUR105 million and have not only achieved the
original forecast for 2015 amounting to EUR95 to EUR100 million but have
even surpassed it by 5%. We still expect a further increase of between
EUR115 and EUR120 million for fiscal year 2016.
The build-up of our offline channel is proceeding according to our
expectations. The number of new customers acquired via the yourfone shops
is continually increasing from month to month. The number of shops
currently amounts to 216, and we intend to stick to our goal of at least
300 locations, without losing sight of profitability.
Online sales continue to progress satisfactorily and surpass our
expectations.
All in all, the focus of marketing continues to be on our highly profitable
LTE rates, and our focus remains on the associated monetarisation of data.
Awareness of our brands has continued to increase, which encourages us to
continue the marketing strategy we have adopted in 2016 as well.
Dividend forecast 2015 and 2016
We want to continue to share the success of the Company with you, our
shareholders, in th future as well and are still planning a dividend of at
least EUR1.70 per share for fiscal years 2015 and 2016.
