Cell C will unveil their latest financial results next week, and according to information received by MyBroadband, the figures are likely to show strong mobile broadband subscriber growth and a significant growth in data revenue.<\/p>\n

The information shows that Cell C had grown its mobile broadband subscriber base to 86,000 users by the end of March 2011, with the biggest growth occurring in the first quarter of 2011.<\/p>\n

According to the unconfirmed figures, Cell C showed very strong overall data revenue growth \u2013 made possible partly by the large increase in broadband subscribers.<\/p>\n

Cell C\u2019s strong performance in the data market also helped to increase the company\u2019s overall revenue, which grew by 5%.<\/p>\n

This is where the good news ends for Cell C. The company\u2019s voice revenue has apparently declined, while its EBITDA (-21%) and EBITDA margin (-3.5%) were also lower.<\/p>\n

The figures further showed that the company\u2019s average revenue per user (ARPU) is also down significantly.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that these figures are currently speculative as Cell C will only unveil their official financial results next week.<\/p>\n

In response to questions regarding these figures, Cell C spokesperson Karin Fourie<\/a> told MyBroadband “We will be releasing details around our financial results next week at our business overview function. Until then we cannot comment on your questions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
