Report this content

TeliaSonera hereby presents, ahead of the interim report January-March 2007, restated historical financial information and operational data (pro forma) for the financial years 2006 and 2005 for the four business areas that operate under the Group’s new organizational structure.
For restated quarterly data see www.teliasonera.com/investorrelations

On January 1, 2007, TeliaSonera switched from a country-based organization to a new structure, designed to capture the strong growth within mobility and broadband services as well as managed services for enterprises and in addition the high growth in the eastern markets. The new organization is aimed at improving business focus and reducing complexity in order to boost profitable growth and increase speed of implementation. TeliaSonera’s operations are divided into four business areas; Mobility Services, Broadband Services, Integrated Enterprise Services, and Eurasia.

Consequently, TeliaSonera’s financial reporting has been changed to reflect the new structure. The restatement of historical financial information and operational data for the financial years 2006 and 2005 will have no impact on reported group numbers as published in the Annual Report 2006 or on the issued outlook.
