Regional mobile phone operator Orascom Telecom reported a four percent decline in net income for the first half of 2008 to $276 million.
The Cairo-based group said in a statement on Tuesday earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) rose 22 percent to $1.16 billion. Orascom Telecom said revenues rose 19 percent to $2.652 billion.
Total subscribers exceeded 77 million, up 31 percent over June 2007 on a proforma basis, the group said.
It added that the number was calculated after excluding the subscribers of its former Iraqi subsidiary Iraqna in June 2007. (Reuters)
