On March 19th, Mobile TeleSystems PJSC (NYSE:MBT) announced its Q4 and Full Year 2017 Financial & Operating results. Alexey Kornya, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented on the results saying, “2017 was truly an exceptional year for MTS. With a stable macroeconomic environment in our key markets and improving customer sentiment, we delivered exemplary financial results. For the year, Group revenue rose 1.7% and Adjusted OIBDA increased 6.2%, which improved our OIBDA margin to 40.6%. Within our markets, we witnessed increased data adoption and a strong surge in data usage, which when examined in the context of a decline in subscribers showcases our focus on increasing customer engagement and rising ARPU. Our strong OIBDA growth and a slight decline in CAPEX spending resulted in a near record free cash flow of RUB 71.5 bln. This allowed us to augment our consistently generous dividend policy through share repurchases, which since the end of 2016 has generated an additional return of nearly RUB 30 bln to our shareholders.”
