TeliaSonera continues to develop its Spanish operator Yoigo


TeliaSonera has decided to continue developing its Spanish operator Yoigo. As a
challenger with a clear price leading strategy, Yoigo has enjoyed an impressive
expansion since it was launched in 2006 and the company reached 3.7 million
subscriptions at year-end 2012.
“Yoigo has great potential for further development, but as its market strategy
does not quite match our other operations, we have been prepared to divest it if
we were offered a price which fully reflects its future potential. As this
requirement has not been met, we have discontinued the sales process and look
forward to continue developing the company,” says Per-Arne Blomquist,
TeliaSonera CEO.

During 2012, Yoigo’s net sales grew 12.5 percent in local currency to the
equivalent of SEK 8,382 million. The EBITDA increased 49.3 percent to SEK 627
million.
