    *Details of the financial indicator adjustments are provided in Appendix 1.

    ►   Customer base

    The Group customer base reaches 67.5 million customers, up 11.1%. This growth was due both to the Mobile and Fixed line customer bases in Morocco (+5.2% and 3.5% respectively) and the extension of the Group's scope with the consolidation of Tigo Chad as a subsidiary in July 2019.

    ►   Revenues

    In 2019, Maroc Telecom Group generated total revenues(4) of MAD 36,517 million, up 1.3% (+0.9% on a like-for-like basis(1)). This performance reflects both the continued growth in activities in Morocco and the resilience of international activities despite the increased competition and regulatory pressure.

    In the fourth quarter alone, the Group's revenues were up 3.5% (+1.0% on a like-for-like basis(1)), thanks to the sustained growth of Mobile Data in Morocco and in the subsidiaries.

    ►   Earnings from operations before depreciation and amortization

    Thanks to a robust management of costs, Maroc Telecom Group earnings from operations before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to MAD 18,922 million, up 3.4% on a like-for-like basis(1). The EBITDA margin reached 51.8%, up 1.2 pt on a like-for-like basis(1).

    ►   Earnings from operations

    At the end of 2019, Maroc Telecom Group's adjusted earnings from operations (EBITA)(5) amounted to MAD 11,540 million, up 4.3% on a like-for-like basis(1). This increase was mainly due to an increased EBITDA. The adjusted EBITA margin increased by 0.9 pt (+1.0 pt on a like-for-like basis(1)) to 31.6%.

    ►   Group share of net income

    The Group share of adjusted Net Income was up 1.0% on a like-for-like basis(1).

    ►   Investments

    The capital expenditures(2) reached MAD 6,788 million up 2.2% year-on-year and representing 14.7% of revenues (excluding frequencies and licences). This level of capital expenditures remains in line with the stated objective for the year.

    ►   Cash Flow

    Adjusted Cash Flow From Operations (CFFO)(6) was up 33.8% (+29.0% on a like-for-like basis(1)), to MAD 13,352 million due to the increased EBITDA and effective management of working capital requirements (WCR).

    At December 31, 2019, Maroc Telecom Group's consolidated net debt(7) represented 0.9 time the Group's annual EBITDA excluding the impact of IFRS16.

    ►   ANRT decision

    The decision taken by the Management Committee of the ANRT on January 17, 2020, relating to anti-competitive practices on the fixed-line market and fixed broadband internet access, has been notified to Maroc Telecom on January 27, 2020.

    This binding decision concerns a financial penalty of MAD 3.3 billion and injunctions relating to the technical and pricing aspects of the local loop unbundling.

    In view of the recent, complex and exceptional nature of the decision received, Maroc Telecom is studying the file.

    As required by law, Maroc Telecom has the option to lodge an appeal with the court of appeal within 30 days from the notification of the decision.

    In this context, Maroc Telecom has made a provision in its accounts as of 31 December 2019  for an amount of MAD 3.3 billion.

    ►   Appointments to the Supervisory Board

    At its meeting on Friday December 6, 2019, Maroc Telecom's Supervisory Board co-opted Mr Obaid Bin Humaid Al Tayer as Vice-Chairman of the Board, replacing Mr Eissa Mohamed Ghanem Al Suwaidi.

    ►   Dividend

    At the Shareholders' Meeting of April 21, 2020, Maroc Telecom's Supervisory Board will propose to shareholders the distribution of a dividend of MAD 5.54 per share, representing a total of MAD 4.9 billion. This dividend would be paid from June 2, 2020.

    ►   Outlook for Maroc Telecom group for 2020

    On the basis of recent changes in the market and assuming that no new major exceptional events impact the Group's business, Maroc Telecom is projecting the following for 2020, at constant scope and exchange rates:

    • Stable revenues;
    • Stable EBITDA;
    • CAPEX of approximately 15% of revenues, excluding frequencies and licenses.

    At the end of 2019, earnings from operations before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to MAD 12,294 million, up 7.3% (+5.3% on a like-for-like basis(1)), thanks to the improvement of gross margin and the reduction in operational costs.

    In a difficult competitive and regulatory environment, the Group's international activities generated revenues of MAD 16,095 million, practically unchanged compared with the same period in 2018 (+0.3% on a reported basis and -0.6% on a like-for-like basis(1)). This change is mainly attributable to the reduction in Mobile termination rates and in international incoming revenues, partially offset by the increase in Mobile Data and Mobile Money services. Excluding the impact of the reduction in call termination rates, revenues were up 1.2% on a like-for-like basis(1).

    In 2019, earnings from operations before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to MAD 6,629 million, unchanged on a like-for-like basis(1). The EBITDA margin rose 0.2 points on a like-for-like basis(1) to 41.2%.This performance was due to an improved gross margin related to the reduction in call termination, despite the fiscal and sectoral growing pressure in certain countries. Excluding the impact of fiscal and sectoral taxes, the EBITDA margin would have been improved by 1.7 pt.

    Over the same period, adjusted earnings from operations (EBITA)(5) were down 5.4% (- 5.0% on a like-for-like basis(1)) to MAD 3,246 million, owing to increased amortization and depreciation expenses.

    Adjusted cash flows from operations (CFFO)(6) from International activities were up by 58.1% (+47.3% on a like-for-like basis(1)) to MAD 3,927 million. This performance is explained by optimal management of working capital requirements.
