In the third quarter of 2014, our customers increased 5% YoY to reach 91.4 million, driven by strong growth in all operating units, particularly in Bangladesh. Group revenue amounted to USD 830 million for the quarter, with an EBITDA of USD 356 million with an EBITDA margin of 43%, and generated USD 114 million in operating cash flow

4 during the quarter. Net loss for the quarter was

USD 154 million, negatively impacted by financial expense of USD 181 million, foreign exchange losses of USD 33 million and impairment of assets sold in Burundi and Central African Republic of USD 36 million. Our CAPEX increased 18% YoY to reach USD 231 million, driven by the ongoing 3G rollout and deployment in Algeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well as the network modernization in Bangladesh and Pakistan.

In Algeria, we launched 3G services on July 5, 2014 and are currently present in 14 provinces. Following 3G launch, Djezzy started to stabilize its market-leading position. In Bangladesh, we concluded the 2G network coverage improvement and modernization, as well as nationwide 3G coverage for all 64 districts. In Pakistan, the 2G network modernization program is on track and completion is expected during 4Q14. With regards to the Algeria transactions, we expect to conclude the transaction before end of this year. Recently, we announced the sale of WIND Mobile Canada for CAD 135 million and Telecel Globe, which represents our holdings in Burundi and Central African Republic, for USD 65 million.

Group revenue amounted to USD 830 million for 3Q14, which decreased 5% YoY organically.

In Algeria, revenue decreased 5% YoY in local currency, as a result of strong competition as other Algerian operators launched 3G services in December 2013.

In Pakistan, revenue decreased 9% YoY in local currency, negatively impacted by competitive pressure and a challenging regulatory environment with country wide implementation of BVS that led to a YoY slowdown in customer base growth. In addition, lower voice revenue was driven by the shift in Mobilink’s pricing strategy to counter competition; lower VAS revenue was the result of efforts to enhance customers experience particularly the shift to a transparent charging regime on subscription. Furthermore, the lower interconnect revenue YoY was the result of lower local and international incoming traffic from the international clearing house.

In Bangladesh, revenue increased 10% YoY in local currency, supported by higher voice, interconnection and VAS revenue, primarily due to 8% YoY growth in customers to 30.2 million.

Orascom Telecom Algérie SpA (“OTA” or “the company”) operates a mobile network in Algeria and provides a

range of prepaid and postpaid products encompassing voice, data and multimedia, using the corporate brand

“Orascom Telecom Algerie” and the dual commercial brand of “Djezzy” and “Allo”. OTA is focusing on maintaining

value through key strategic pillars. These strategic pillars are oriented towards value segmentation, distribution

control, operational excellence, new revenue streams and assets monetization, control of regulatory risks, and

finally retaining key staff members as well as introducing new talent development programs.

During 3Q14, OTA launched several VAS including Facebook zero service, Djezzy Store, Djezzy App, Be Djezzy

application and new Ranati (RBT), in addition to B2B “3G pack” promotion, and Ramadan B2C promotion launch

(Djezzy Carte, Allo, Djezzy Control and Djezzy Classic). Following the launch of 3G services in July 2014, Millennium

3G (a hybrid voice and data product) achieved strong results with more than 150k gross additions during the

quarter. Today, Djezzy’s 3G services are available in 14 provinces.

OTA’s revenue decreased 5% YoY in local currency, as a result of strong competition as other Algerian operators

launched 3G services seven month before Djezzy. Mobile data revenue achieved strong growth post 3G launch

and the number of mobile data customers increased 8 folds. EBITDA decreased 13% YoY in local currency,

negatively impacted by higher network cost due to the 3G rollout and higher HR cost. CAPEX surged six folds YoY

mainly due to the ongoing investments in the high-speed 3G network.

Pakistan Mobile Company Limited (“PMCL”) operates under the brand “Mobilink” and has established itself as a

market leader amongst Pakistan’s Mobile network operators, providing prepaid and postpaid voice and data

services to individuals and corporate clients across Pakistan. Mobilink is focused on retaining and strengthening

its market share to achieve revenue growth, whilst continuing to reduce operational costs.

After 3G trials’ success, the momentum continued with attractive offers and campaigns. 3G bundles were made

more appealing for customers and were promoted through ATL and BTL campaigns in line with Mobilink’s

ambition to lead the mobile data market. To mitigate the impact on sales after the implementation of BVS

regime, Mobilink increased its focus on customers’ engagement through acquisition, reactivation and aggressive

bundle offers. Mobilink launched competitive daily, weekly, monthly and hybrid offers. Mobilink 3G customers

reached 1 million within 90 days of commercial launch, rendering it the fasted growing 3G service in Pakistan.

On the MFS front, Industry focus continued on retail incentive promotions and ATL campaigns. Bulk disbursement

services were launched for new corporate clients. Moreover, the first Government to Person (G2P) client signed

up to Mobicash during the quarter. Mobilink aims to increase its nationwide MFS footprint further in the future.

Mobilink’s revenue decreased 9% YoY in local currency, negatively impacted by competitive pressure and a

challenging regulatory environment with country wide implementation of BVS that led to a YoY slowdown in

growth of customers. In addition, lower voice revenue was driven by the shift in Mobilink’s pricing strategy to

counter competition; lower VAS revenue was the result of efforts to enhance customers experience particularly

the shift to a transparent charging regime on subscription. Furthermore, the lower interconnect revenue YoY was

the result of lower local and international incoming traffic from the international clearing house. MFS revenue

showed strong growth YoY, supported by multiple initiatives including continuation of sales channel engagement

promotions and the introduction of dedicated MFS agents. Mobile data revenue increased 40% YoY, supported by

3G services and MFS. EBITDA decreased 30% YoY in local currency; negatively impacted by lower service revenue

YoY, alongside higher customer associated cost, network and HR costs. CAPEX increased 70% YoY due to the

network modernization project and the 3G rollout. The network modernization project remains on track with

expected completion in 4Q14.

Banglalink Digital Communications Limited (“BDCL”) provides its services under two brand names: “banglalink”

and “Icon”. BDCL’s marketing strategy is oriented towards targeting different consumer segments with tailored

products and services to cater for the needs of these segments.

banglalink continued to expand its 3G footprint with more than 2,300 3G sites in all 64 districts, delivering the

best value for its customers. During the quarter, banglalink continued to focus on the mobile data market by

offering different 3G handset bundle with data packages, new 3G data packages and bonus on data packages to

enhance its customers’ base and usage in the growing 3G mobile data market. The operator launched a

gratification campaign on the occasion of having 3G footprint in all 64 districts, with the purpose of attracting new

mobile data customers and enhancing usage. All of which supported the growth in banglalink’s customers base by

8% YoY to reach 30.2 million, where mobile data customers exceeded 1 million and marked 125% YoY growth.

To attract new customers and increase usage, the mass market start-up offer was revised with an attractive tariff

upon recharge, which includes free Facebook and Whatsapp. Various campaigns such as bonus on recharge offers

were introduced to support top line. banglalink also launched “minute back in call drop” campaign, the first of its

kind in Bangladesh, to strengthen its network perception in line with the improvements already accomplished in

the network.

banglalink’s revenue increased 10% YoY in local currency, supported by higher voice, interconnection and VAS

revenue, primarily due to 8% YoY growth in customers to 30.2 million. Mobile data revenue increased 66% YoY,

supported by 3G services and MFS. EBITDA increased 20% YoY in local currency, driven by the growth in revenue,

and lower customer acquisition costs, partially offset by higher network costs. CAPEX decreased 61% YoY,

following the completion of the 2G coverage and modernization project alongside the 3G rollout during the

quarter.

Glossary of Terms

Average Revenue per User (“ARPU”): Average monthly recurrent revenue per customer (excluding visitors roaming revenue and connection fee). This includes airtime revenue (national and international), as well as, monthly subscription fee, SMS, GPRS & data revenue. Quarterly ARPU is calculated as an average of the last three months.

Capital Expenditure (“CAPEX”): Tangible and Intangible fixed assets additions during the reporting period, includes work in progress, network, IT, and other tangible and intangible fixed assets additions but excludes license fees.

Churn: Disconnection rate. This is calculated as the number of disconnections during a month divided by the average customer base for that month.

Churn Rule: A customer is considered churned (removed from the customer base) if he exceeds the 90 days from the end of the validity period without recharging. It is worth noting that the validity period is a function of the scratch denomination. In cases where scratch cards have open validity, the customer is considered churned in case he has not made a single billable event in the last 90 days (i.e. outgoing or incoming call or sms, wap session). Open cards validity is applied for OTA, Mobilink and banglalink so far.

Minutes of Usage (“MOU”): Average airtime minutes per customer per month. This includes billable national and international outgoing traffic originated by customers (on-net, to land line & to other operators). Also, this includes incoming traffic to customers from landline or other operators.

Organic Growth for Revenue and EBITDA: Are non-IFRS financial measures that reflect changes in Revenue and EBITDA excluding foreign currency movements and other factors, such as business under liquidation, disposals, mergers and acquisitions. We believe readers of this earnings release should consider these measures as it is more indicative of the Group’s ongoing performance. Management uses these measures to evaluate the Group’s operational results and trends.
