Service revenues increased 12.7% year-on-year to 33 million euro in the first quarter of the year, mainly due an increase in the mobile business but also higher ICT solutions revenues.
Core operating expenses rose due to higher total workforce costs and increased expenses for licenses and software for resale, yet the overall increase in revenues surpassed these expenses, resulting in a rise in EBITDA, the group said in the statement.
