Note 1: EBITDA represents profit for the year before finance costs, interest income, shares of net profit of
associates, share of net profit of joint ventures, other income-net, income tax, depreciation and
amortisation. As the telecommunications business is a capital intensive industry, capital expenditure and
finance costs may have a significant impact on the net profit of the companies with similar operating
results. Therefore, the Company believes that EBITDA may be helpful in analysing the operating results of a
telecommunications service operator like the Company. |
