04.05.2007 07:47:36 Marked=OB Utsteder=Telenor ASA Instrument=TEL TELENOR ASA FIRST QUARTER 2007
RESULTS delårsresultat
In the first quarter of 2007, Telenors revenues
increased by 5 per cent compared to the first
quarter of 2006, reaching NOK 22.4 billion. The
underlying revenue growth was 12 per cent. EBITDA
before other income and expenses was NOK 7.1
billion while profit before taxes was NOK 4.2
billion.
HIGHLIGHTS FIRST QUARTER 2007
Revenue growth of 5% underlying growth of 12%
EBITDA margin before other income and expenses of 32%
Telenor Pakistan reaching break-even on EBITDA
Cost savings in Fixed Norway on track
OUTLOOK FOR 2007
Based upon the current group structure and
assuming that the majority owned operation
Kyivstar is not consolidated in 2007:
We expect a growth in reported revenues of between
3% and 5%.
The EBITDA margin before other income and expenses
is expected to be around 32%.
We expect capital expenditure as a proportion of
revenues to be around 20%, mainly driven by high
subscription growth within our mobile operations
in emerging markets.
A growing share of Telenors revenues and profits
is derived from operations outside Norway.
Currency fluctuations may to an increasing extent
influence the reported figures in Norwegian Krone.
Political risk, including regulatory conditions,
may also influence the profits. We expect seasonal
variations between the quarters.
The situation in Kyivstar, as described in
Telenors annual report, has continued during the
first quarter of 2007. Since Telenor has not
received financial information from Kyivstar
during the first quarter of 2007, Kyivstar is
presented in one line in the balance sheet under
Investment in Kyivstar, with the same value as of
31 December 2006, adjusted for currency effects.
There has not been included any profit and loss
figures for Kyivstar in the first quarter and net
excess values have not been amortized. Figures for
2006 for the Group include unaudited figures for
Kyivstar.

avtaler
Telenor has entered into an agreement with Tele2
for the acquisition of its subsidiary Tele2
Denmark for a price representing an enterprise
value of DKK 835 million.
Tele2 Denmark had, as of year end 2006, 227,000*
mobile customers, including 100,000 post-paid
subscribers, 75,000 broadband customers, 206,000
fixed-line customers. This acquisition boosts
Telenors Danish mobile market share from 23.3 to
27.3** percent and broadband market share from 10
to 14 percent.
With the acquisition of Tele2 in Denmark, and good
underlying growth in the existing business,
Telenor Denmark maintains its aim of growing
faster than the rest of the market.
The transaction is subject to approval from the
Danish competition authorities. After completion
of the transaction, the operation of the company
will be run under the existing brand name during a
transitional period. Tele2 Denmark, which has
approximately 60 employees, will become a part of
the Telenor group Danish operation.

andre børsmeldinger
On 11 May 2007, Telenor East Invest entered into
an amendment to its total return equity swap
agreement with ING Bank, enabling Telenor to
purchase and take physical ownership of 7,666,900
of the ADRs purchased by ING under their total
return equity swap agreement, giving Telenor 29.9%
of the voting stock in Russian mobile operator
VimpelCom and 33.6% of VimpelComs common stock.
On 11 May 2007, Telenor East Invest entered into
an amendment to its total return equity swap
agreement with ING Bank, enabling Telenor to
purchase and take physical ownership of 7,666,900
of the ADRs purchased by ING under their total
return equity swap agreement, giving Telenor 29.9%
of the voting stock in Russian mobile operator
VimpelCom and 33.6% of VimpelComs common stock.
Telenor believes this transaction will increase
the likelihood of three or more of its nominees to
the Board of Directors of VimpelCom being elected
to the Board at VimpelComs annual general meeting
of shareholders to be held June 29, 2007.
Under the Total Return Equity Swap Agreement
between Telenor ASA and ING Bank, Telenor had
economic exposure to up to 3.522% percent of the
shares in Russian mobile operator VimpelCom.
Telenor has also agreed to extend the swap
agreement until June 2, 2008 to cover the
remaining 447,400 ADRs acquired by ING pursuant to
the original agreement. This amendment entitled
Telenor to purchase from ING 7,666,900 VimpelCom
ADRs (equivalent to 1,916,725 shares of the common
stock) for a price per ADR of USD 97.15261 (USD
744,859,345.60 in aggregate). The extended swap
agreement will not provide Telenor with any voting
or investment rights over the remaining 447,400
VimpelCom ADRs.
Through its direct ownership of shares and ADRs,
as well as its remaining economic exposure to ADRs
under the extended swap agreement, Telenor will
now have economic exposure to 33.8% of VimpelComs
common stock.
On 11 May 2007, Telenor filed an amendment to its
filing on Schedule 13D with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission in which
Telenor described the terms of the amendment and
the extension of the swap transaction. A copy of
Telenors amendment agreement with ING Bank N.V.
is attached as an exhibit to that filing.
