Analysts said the performance of the PTCL group improved due to stability in the business of its subsidiary, Ufone, which generated handsome cash flows due to increase of use in data services on its network.

Its cellular phone company is witnessing a better situation despite competition due to taxation relief by provincial government of Punjab last year which impacted positively on its revenue streams.

Besides, PTCL’s broadband businesses has been stable throughout the year including its DSL and EvDO services. Smart Tv has been its emerging sector whereas its revenues from LDI sector witnessed improvement as well.

PTCL has lately started to bank more on its corporate service which has been an emerging sector with landline voice services.

  • The overall revenue is down by 8.7% as a group with essentially the same cost structure. Ufone is down 11.5%. Both PTCL and Ufone are shrinking in revenues with the same cost structure. Business for both is not growing. Alarming

  • Can anybody guide me how much profit goes to govt from this revenue? 74% or what? I will appreciate if someone who understand this properly explain to me.
    Thanks

  • They fake the growth just to keep etisalat interested. They fake their daily, weekly, but monthly, yearly targets. The KPIs are faked.

  • So much for an analysis: PTCL own profit, 8.7 Billion, whereas PTCL group profit 1.8 billion, clearly indicates PTML-Ufone is in losses………

  • Their revenue is increasing yet we are getting degraded services which are still degrading day-by-day. Hope they can improve their services!

    From a once happy customer of PTCL EVO DSL services who is now pissed off! -.-
