'We are continuing our good path, driven by a solid performance in our markets. In the second quarter we saw an increase in group revenues by 4.0 % and the EBITDA rose by 7.8% and negative effects from the stepwise abolition of retail roaming in the EU. Our net result increased by 36.5% in the second quarter of 2017 from EUR 82.4 mn to EUR 112.5 mn. According to our strategy, we are continuing to focus on growth in our core and we have been organically strengthening our capabilities thanks to M&A activities. On the innovation side we have launched a new set of cloud services in Austria as well as our marketplace offer within the footprint' .says Alejandro Plater, CEO & COO Telekom Austria Group.
