Royal KPN N.V. Press Release: Statement on expected impact of COVID-19

08-Apr-2020 / 14:50 CET/CEST


Today, Royal KPN N.V. ("KPN") issues the following statement. 

 

KPN expects to announce limited impact of COVID-19 on its operational KPIs and financial results in the first quarter of 2020. Currently, it is premature to say what the impact of COVID-19 will be for the remainder of the year. KPN has entered the current crisis with a strong balance sheet as well as undrawn committed credit facilities, resulting in a resilient balance sheet and a strong liquidity position.

 

KPN issues today's statement in response to a dialogue that it has had with the unions regarding labour-related measures that KPN has taken or considers taking in relation to COVID-19. In this context, a number of potential scenarios have been discussed, which unfortunately have become public. KPN stresses that it is premature to draw any conclusion on such scenarios.

 

KPN will publish its Q1 2020 trading update on Thursday 30 April 2020.

KPN on track for a strong FY25/Strong competition not denting its perf...

This morning, KPN presented good 2Q25 results, although the equity market seems to have been a bit disappointed by KPN's cash generation in 1H25. Nevertheless, we take it as a positive that KPN has raised its FY25 outlook and remain constructive on its notes. The KPN notes look somewhat attractive compared to some notes of Orange.

KPN reported a good set of 2Q25 results, with adj. service revenues up 3.7% to € 1339m (kbcse: € 1325m, css: € 1329m). The strong performance was largely driven by B2B, as well a strong commercial momentum in broadband and mobile net adds. While the 6.4% adj. EBITDAal increase to € 670m came in comfortably above our expectations (kbcse: € 658m), we want to highlight that the Adj. EBITDAal was positively impacted by a € 9m tailwind related to IPR claims. These claims are expected to have an addit...
