TeliaSonera Investor Day


Press Release

TeliaSonera Investor Day

Today at TeliaSonera's Investor Day in Stockholm, President and CEO, Lars Nyberg
spoke about TeliaSonera's position, strategy, technological leadership and the
changing competitive landscape. 

“The unlimited demand for bandwidth makes both the mobile and fixed access
businesses attractive. Data traffic has exploded and the number of subscribers
is increasing. This will require that we develop our business models and
services. At the same time, we need to secure the quality of our networks and
improve our cost efficiency”, Lars Nyberg said. 

Nyberg also said: “To maximize shareholder value, TeliaSonera will have a
disciplined approach to M&A, with a strategy to increase ownership in core
holdings and evaluate complementary acquisitions within the group's existing
footprint, while at the same time selectively looking at new markets in
Eurasia.” 

TeliaSonera has earlier communicated that it will consider different strategic
options for the Spanish operation, Yoigo. Given the present economic climate, we
have not been able to find an acceptable solution, and therefore our current
focus is to continue to develop Yoigo's business. The forecast is that Yoigo
will become EBITDA positive in the fourth quarter 2010 and cash flow positive at
the end of 2011. 

At the meeting, TeliaSonera reiterated its outlook for 2009 saying that net
sales in local currencies and excluding acquisitions are expected to be in line
with or slightly below the level of 2008. The addressable cost base in 2009 is
expected to be below the SEK 33.8 billion of 2008, in local currencies and
excluding acquisitions. The EBITDA margin in 2009 is expected to exceed the
level of 2008, excluding non-recurring items. The CAPEX-to-sales ratio is
expected to be in the range of 13-14 percent in 2009.

Other featured TeliaSonera speakers at the Investor Day included, Kenneth
Karlberg, President Business Area Mobility Services, Håkan Dahlström, President
Business Area Broadband Services, Karin Eliasson, Head of Group Human Resources,
Tero Kivisaari, President Business Area Eurasia and Per-Arne Blomquist,
Executive Vice President and CFO.
