Deutsche Telekom Claims Improving Business at Its European Operations

On Thursday, the Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn. DE) has claimed that it is on the way to achieve its 2011 targets, in spite of poor performance in the United States, economic weakness in southeastern Europe as well as sluggish growth in Germany.

Its Chief Executive Rene Obermann has expressed immense confidence that Company would achieve its targets soon and said that the second quarter results cannot be considered as a reason for celebrations. The Company has claimed improving business at its European operations.

“After the second-quarter numbers it has become even more clear that Deutsche Telekom will most likely not achieve its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) guidance of 19.1 billion euros”, added DZ Bank analyst Joeri Sels. “We believe that Deutsche Telekom will heavily miss the U. S. guidance due to both currency effects and a poor operational performance”.

Further, the Company shares were observed to gain a hike of 1% at 10.37% Euros by 0850 GMT whereas the German blue-chip index DAX climbed 0.8%. However, the group had notified that the second-quarter net profit dropped
26.7% to 348 million Euros, through a strong influence from 600 million Euros in one-off expenses for an extended early retirement plan in Germany, where sales were declined by 3.4%.
