Telefonica SA backed its financial targets and dividend for the
year after it reported higher third-quarter revenue on improving
handset sales as well as a boost from foreign exchange moves.
The Spanish telecommunication company said Friday that revenue
for the July-through-September period climbed to 10.34 billion
euros ($10.08 billion) from EUR9.30 billion last year.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization--a key
profitability metric for Telefonica--fell to EUR3.25 billion from
EUR3.73 billion.
Net profit slipped to EUR460 million from EUR706 million last
year.
"Results allow us to confirm our full year-guidance, narrowed to
the mid to upper end of the low-single-digit range at H1 22
results, and our dividend commitment for 2022, despite a very
challenging macro backdrop," Telefonica Chief Executive Jose Maria
Alvarez-Pallete said in a statement announcing the results.
For 2022, Telefonica targets the high end of the low
single-digit growth range for revenue, and the mid-to-high-end of
low single-digit growth for Oibda.
