WiFi routers as well as increased revenues from high-value customers but
were negatively impacted by the EU international calls regulation.
* Fixed-line service revenues were developing well, with particularly strong
growth in solutions and connectivity revenues in Austria and a strong
performance in Bulgaria.
o Mobile contract subscribers rose by 4.4% with growth in all markets except
for Bulgaria which was impacted by the removal of inactive SIM-cards.

increased by 2.7%, driven by higher service revenues.

effect due to a real estate sale increased by 0.8% as higher service
revenues and lower workforce costs were able to compensate for higher cost
of services.

supported by Bulgaria Croatia and Slovenia.

Austria, which amounted to EUR 21.1 mn in Q2 2019 (Q2 2018: EUR 0.1 mn).
Net result increased from EUR 58.1 mn in Q2 2018 to EUR 70.0 mn in Q2 2019.

Additionally, free cash flow was negatively impacted in Q2 2019 by the payment of EUR 23.0 mn in connection with the abovementioned tax case in Bulgaria.\nGuidance confirmed, with approximately 2 % higher revenues and stable capex at EUR 770 mn excl. leases, spectrum investments and acquisitions in 2019.\nend of announcement euro adhoc
