HIGHLIGHTS

• Revenue of €813.6 million, up 12% yoy, driven by a growing contribution from our mobile operations and continued RGU growth in fixed services. Our top line growth showed a slight sequential acceleration in Q2 2013 to 12% yoy as selective price increases on certain fixed services started to contribute fully to revenue;
• Net broadband internet subscriber additions in Q2 2013 up 17% yoy despite competitive environment and increased penetration in our footprint. Improved multiple-play lineup post "Whop" and "Whoppa" launch;
• Lower net intake of digital TV subscribers as last year's growth was boosted by our analog channel reshuffle program. Net loss of 8,700 basic cable TV subscribers in Q2 2013 reached lowest level since Q2 2008;
• Continued solid net mobile postpaid subscriber additions of 49,900 in Q2 2013, resulting in 674,900 active subscribers at the end of June 2013 amidst a more competitive environment and our focus on more cost effective subscriber acquisitions. Our mobile ARPU jumped 15% yoy to nearly €32.0 in Q2 2013;
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ up 8% to €417.8 million. Adjusted EBITDA growth accelerated to 11% yoy in Q2 2013, primarily driven by more cost effective mobile subscriber acquisitions and overall control of overhead expenses;
• Accrued capital expenditures⁽²⁾ of €177.8 million, representing 22% of revenue and benefiting from a €16.1 million reversal of import duties on set-top boxes. Excluding this reversal, accrued capital expenditures represented around 24% of revenue, impacted by extension of Premier League football broadcasting rights;
• Free Cash Flow⁽³⁾ of €100.5 million, impacted by first semi-annual cash interest payment on the Senior Secured Fixed Rate Notes issued in August 2012 and a negative trend in our working capital in Q1 2013, which was partially reversed in Q2 2013. Sharp Free Cash Flow recovery in Q2 2013 to €110.5 million, up 80% yoy.
