30-09-09	Telecom Plus PLC - Trading Statement	RNS
RNS Number : 8964Z Telecom Plus PLC 30 September 2009 Telecom plus Plc Issue Date: 30 September 2009 TELECOM PLUS PLC Pre-Close Trading Statement Telecom plus PLC (trading as the Utility Warehouse), which supplies a wide range of utility services (gas, electricity, fixed line telephony, mobile telephony and broadband internet) to both residential and business customers, is today issuing a trading update in advance of its half year results for the period ending 30 September 2009. The first half of the current financial year has seen a continuation of the strong organic growth we have been experiencing recently, with customer numbers increasing at an annualised rate of 25% during the period to around 316,000 (31 March 2009: 281,175) and service numbers increasing by around 110,000 to more than 904,000 (31 March 2009: 794,118). Substantial numbers of new distributors continue to join the business each month in search of a secure and reliable part-time income; we saw a net increase in the number of distributors during the first half of almost 5,000 bringing the total to just under 32,000 at the end of September (31 March 2009: 27,051). To optimise the quality of our customer base, we took steps at the end of July to focus the activity of our distributors on gathering new customers who owned their homes, as this type of household has a significantly more attractive profile on average (higher consumption, more services, longer lifetime and lower bad debts) than those who are living in tenanted properties. We also changed our training requirements, making it compulsory for all new distributors to attend our training courses, which give them the tools and skills they need to maximise their productivity and earnings. As a result, we saw a slowdown in the rate at which new distributors and customers were being recruited during the following 6 weeks, as our distribution channel adjusted to these changes. On 13th and 14th September we held motivational sales conferences in Southport and Cheltenham, with a record attendance of almost 3,000 distributors; we took advantage of the high turnout at these events to launch a number of new incentives and promotions. Since then, we have seen encouraging signs that distributor activity has started to return towards the record levels we were experiencing earlier in the year. The board remain comfortable with market expectations of both earnings and dividends for the full year. Half Yearly Results Date Half Yearly results for the six months ending 30 September 2009 will be announced on Wednesday 25 November 2009. Commenting on current trading, Charles Wigoder, Chief Executive said: "I am delighted to report a further period of strong organic growth in customer, distributor and service numbers during the first half of the current financial year. The steps we have taken to tighten our training requirements and improve the mix of new customers can be expected to improve the quality of our earnings going forward, and I look forward to announcing our half yearly results in November."
