Eltel postpones the publishing of the Group’s fourth quarter and full-year 2016 interim report

Last week, Eltel revised its guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2016 (see press release on 27 January 2017). Simultaneously a project audit was initiated with the objective of performing a comprehensive investigation to verify and quantify risks and costs in selected ongoing projects in the power transmission business mainly in Africa. The audit is estimated to take a few weeks, hence the postponement of the report as the Group’s operative EBITA might depend on the outcome of the audit.
