The Europe-based operator Tele2 is planning a capex of about SEK 6,000 million in 2013.
Out of the total capex, Tele2 Norway is expected to have a capex between SEK 900 to SEK 1,000 million, while Tele2 Netherlands will invest between SEK 2,000 to SEK 2,500 million as capex. Further, the licenses for 4G services are likely to cost Tele2 Netherlands around SEK 1,400 million. The company is expecting mobile operations in Netherlands to reach earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) break-even after three years of the commercial launch of 4G services.
In 2013, Tele2 expects revenue between SEK 10,100 to SEK 10,300 million. Tele2 is targeting EBITDA between SEK 2,900 to SEK 3,100 million. The tax payment is expected to affect cash flow by SEK 1,000 million.
The operator is looking forward to maintaining a balance between growth regions and mature markets and to strengthen its position in Europe and Eurasia.
