    • EUR 40.9m of net profit.
    • EUR 158m of Investments, which is a high level versus past years but in-line with our analyst notes that Telekom Slovenije will use a part of the Macedonian exit cash flow for new projects.
    • This plan is showing weaker than expected 2018 EBITDA ex CAPEX, but we will need to see how afterwards this CAPEX generates growth of revenues and EBITDA to see end valuation implication.
