Excluding the impact of mobile termination rate, service revenue in Romania rose 1.1% in the April-June period compared with the same quarter of 2012.
Mobile data revenue increased by 26.3% year-on-year in the first quarter.
“We are pleased to see growth in our business in the first quarter of the financial year, ended June 30th, which confirms the positive trend we have anticipated in the previous quarters. If excluded the impact of the mobile termination rates, our service revenue increased, year on year. This growth was driven by the incredible success of RED packages among our customers, consumers and companies,” said Inaki Berroeta, chief executive officer of Vodafone Romania.
Vodafone Romania had 8.138 million customers at the end of June, up by some 340,000 customers from the year-ago period.
Contract subscribers accounted for 40.4% of Vodafone’s customer base in Romania, while prepaid users for the remaining 59.6%.
The mobile average revenue per user (ARPU) reached EUR6.5 at the end of June, down from EUR7.2 in the first quarter of the 2012/2013 fiscal year.
