BT GROUP PLC
RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2011
BT Group plc (BT.L) today announces its results for the third quarter and nine months to 31 December 2011.
Third quarter and nine months results:
Ian Livingston, Chief Executive, commenting on the results, said:
"We have delivered another quarter of growth in profits and cash flow despite the economic headwinds.
"Our investment to support our customers and improve our services has resulted in new contract wins around the world, with orders so far this year up over 50% in Asia Pacific and Latin America. In the UK, our fibre roll-out has accelerated bringing super-fast broadband within reach of over 7m homes and businesses and we remain the number one broadband retailer with over 6m customers. Our fixed-line base has now grown for the last five quarters and our active consumer line loss is at its lowest for five years.
"We expect to achieve our 2013 EBITDA1 target of above £6bn a year early and to deliver free cash flow2 of around £2.4bn this year."

RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS TO 31 DECEMBER 2011
Group results
Note: Reported revenue for the nine months to 31 December 2011 includes a specific charge of £410m recognised in Q2 2012 relating to a retrospective regulatory ruling in Germany, which had no impact on profits or cash.
Line of business results1
1 Before specific items. Specific items are defined below 2 Underlying revenue excluding transit is defined below 3 Before pension deficit payment of £525m in Q3 2011 4 Restated for the impact of customer account moves. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements n/m = not meaningful
Notes: 1) Unless otherwise stated, any reference to revenue, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), operating profit, operating costs, profit before tax and earnings per share (EPS) are measured before specific items. The commentary focuses on the trading results on an adjusted basis being before specific items. This is consistent with the way that financial performance is measured by management and is reported to the Board and the Operating Committee and assists in providing a meaningful analysis of the trading results of the group. The directors believe that presentation of the group's results in this way is relevant to the understanding of the group's financial performance as specific items are those that in management's judgement need to be disclosed by virtue of their size, nature or incidence. In determining whether an event or transaction is specific, management considers quantitative as well as qualitative factors such as the frequency or predictability of occurrence. Specific items may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reported revenue, reported EBITDA, reported operating profit, reported profit before tax and reported EPS are the equivalent unadjusted or statutory measures.
2) Underlying revenue is a measure which seeks to reflect the underlying revenue performance of the group that will contribute to long-term profitable growth. As such it excludes any increases or decreases in revenue as a result of acquisitions or disposals, any foreign exchange movements affecting revenue and any specific items. We are focusing on the trends in underlying revenue excluding transit revenue as transit traffic is low-margin and is significantly affected by reductions in mobile termination rates which have no impact on the group's profitability. Underlying costs is a measure which seeks to reflect the underlying costs of the group as a result of operational efficiency improvements. As such it excludes any decreases or increases in costs as a result of acquisitions or disposals, any foreign exchange movements affecting costs and any specific items.
3) Unless otherwise stated, the references 2011 and 2012 are the financial years to 31 March 2011 and 2012, respectively, except in relation to our fibre roll-out plans which are based on calendar years.

It's a sign of the fact that telecoms is now a smaller part of BT. it's now much more about professional and ITservices - managed networks etc.

surely the regulation isnt the issue, its how much they are regulated to charge thats the issue, and perhaps the charge they are regulated to has a good margin?
