Regulatory pressure includes a reduction in mobile termination rates and roaming tariffs. Furthermore, the spectrum auction in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria allows possible new mobile entrants. Special telecom taxes continue to be implemented in Hungary. Competitive pressure leads to further falling average mobile tariffs, despite a growing subscriber base. In addition, it leads to higher mobile subscriber retention and acquisition costs for some operators. We see the proposal from the EU Commission on an EU single telecoms market as a mix of good and bad news for our coverage universe. Positives include single EU authorization and coordinated spectrum assignment. Negatives include removal of roaming premiums and fixed inter-eu call premiums, new customer rights to cancel contracts after six months and reluctance to promote market consolidation. The Turkish telecoms fare much better than their CEE peers. This is because of their growth profile and supportive regulation. Recommendation. Our top pick is Turkcell, followed by Turk Telekom. We do not have any top pick among our covered CEE companies. We assign TLSG an Accumulate recommendation, but its liquidity is far below that of its CEE peers. We have a neutral recommendation on TPSA, Netia and T-HT. We give MTel, TCR and TKA Reduce calls. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 1
Executive summary Strong regulatory pressure Large CAPEX for spectrum EU single telecoms market a mix of good and bad news Competitive pressure remains high We expect the CEE telecom sector to remain under regulatory and competitive pressure in 2013e and 2014e. The regulatory pressure includes a reduction in mobile termination rates and roaming tariffs. Furthermore, the spectrum auction in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria allows possible new mobile entrants. We only see PPF in the Czech Republic as a credible candidate for a new mobile entrant. We do not expect any new entrant in Hungary, following the state-owned and failed MPVI Mobile. We also do not expect any new entrant in Austria, considering the recent Orange acquisition by Drei and the intense competition. MTel is burdened by a higher telecom usage tax for corporates and will continue to see such telecom taxes indefinitely. Spectrum auction would lead to higher CAPEX for TPSA (our estimate: PLN 2bn), MTel (our estimate: HUF 31bn), TCR (our estimate: CZK 3bn) and TKA (our estimate: EUR 320mn). We expect MTel to drop its dividend from HUF 50 to HUF 10, due to the high spectrum CAPEX and higher telecom taxes. MTel recently announced an early extension to its existing spectrum, which would cost HUF 34bn in 4Q13e. The spectrum price in Hungary is the highest in our coverage universe. We see the proposal from the EU Commission on a EU single telecoms market as a mix of good and bad news for our covered companies. Positives: o Single EU authorization should ease expansion to other EU countries. o Coordinated spectrum assignment in terms of timing, duration and conditions would support mobile operators in network planning. Network and spectrum sharing is encouraged. Negatives: o Removing roaming premiums. The EU Commission gives mobile operators two choices: 1) Provide roam-like-at-home (RLAH) voluntarily or; 2) Provide roaming at the usual regulated prices. We do not expect many operators to choose RLAH, considering that domestic prices are far lower than the regulated roaming prices. o No more fixed inter-eu call premiums. As of July 2016, such calls should be charged at long-distance local calls, meaning calling Bucharest from Vienna should cost the same as calling Tyrol from Vienna. This would be negative for most operators, though the implementation time is still sometime away. o New customer rights: Most of our CEE companies offer tariffs with a 24-month binding period. The EU proposal would allow customers to terminate contracts after six months without penalties. This would lead to a higher churn rate. o Consolidation? The EU Commission sees no reason to change competition rules because they pose few problems for cross-border mergers. We therefore expect domestic market consolidation to remain difficult in terms of gaining EU approval. Competitive pressure leads to further falling average mobile tariffs, despite a growing subscriber base. We saw unlimited tariffs launched by TCR in 2Q13. TPSA launched no-frill NJU Mobile tariffs to attract low-end clients. Drei in Austria keeps its popular SIM-only tariff for EUR 7.5. Nevertheless, Drei also launched unlimited tariffs with a pricing level similar to other competitors, which might indicate price stabilization in Austria. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 2
Competitive pressure also leads to higher mobile subscriber retention and acquisition costs. This is highly visible at TKA, as it wants to retain and acquire high-value subscribers. Higher handset subsidies squeezed its Austria segment s comparable EBITDA margin to below 30% for the first time. Turkish telecoms perform much better than CEE peers The Turkish telecoms fare much better than their CEE peers. This is because of their growth profile. Fixed broadband is still growing, albeit at a slower pace. There is a five-year regulatory holiday for FTTH network rollout. Pay TV penetration is still low in Turkey at ~35% of households (vs. Western Europe s ~55%), giving ample potential for IPTV and web-tv. Mobile broadband is growing rapidly and operators generate handsome revenues from it. TCELL Turkey generated almost 15% of its revenues from mobile broadband, which grew 41.7% in 2Q13. Avea (the mobile subsidiary of TTKOM) generated 17% of its service revenues from non-sms data, which grew 42% y/y. There is no roaming tariff regulation. CAPEX is high, but this is due to 3G coverage expansion, which should support mobile broadband growth. It is therefore unsurprising that our top picks are TCELL and TTKOM. Recommendation Top pick Turkcell, followed by Turk Telekom Our top pick is Turkcell, due to its combination of high growth and stable margins. Its large USD 1bn cash position provides a natural hedge against TRY devaluation. The dividend is highly uncertain, depending on the outcome of the shareholder dispute. We do not consider dividends part of TCELL s investment story. We assign TTKOM an Accumulate recommendation, due to its dividend and growth combination. We do not have any top pick among our CEE companies. MTel faces high CAPEX spending, which consists of HUF 34bn for extension of existing spectrums and possible HUF 31bn for new spectrums. We think that the large spending will lead to a dividend cut. TCR might face high CAPEX spending (auction to start in October 2013), a possible fourth mobile operator and a possibly higher corporate income tax rate, from 19% to 25-30%. We have a Reduce recommendation for TKA. The Austrian mobile market remains highly competitive, but prices seem to be stabilizing. Roaming premiums will eventually be eliminated after 2016. TKA generated EUR 285mn in revenues and EUR 225mn in EBITDA in 2012 from roaming premiums. If TKA makes a large acquisition on the scale of Serbia Broadband, it would need a capital increase for financing. We give TLSG an Accumulate call, due to the looming privatization. However, its liquidity is far below that of its CEE peers. We have a neutral recommendation on TPSA, Netia and T-HT. TPSA is bottoming out. We expect that the DPS of PLN 0.5 would be sustainable if Wirtualna Polska could be sold. Netia performed better than expected in terms of OPEX savings, leading to an FCF upgrade. The neutral call on T-HT reflects the balance between the strong regulatory pressure post EU accession for Croatia, the Optima bankruptcy risk, T-HT s strong balance sheet, the possible acquisition of TLSG as well as high margins.

This performance could be explained by: Dividend reduction: TPSA, TCR, TKA Special telecom tax: MTel Threat of new mobile entrant: TCR Lower outlook: TPSA, MTel Large FX losses: TTKOM Corporate governance issue: Turkcell (2x failed AGM, further dividend delay) Telekom Slovenije s share price rose sharply, due to progress in the privatization process, which could trigger a mandatory takeover bid. Dividend is a crucial investment story for the telecom sector. The past reduction in dividends was driven by the following factors: Falling revenues: Strong price competition, regulatory pressure, such as the MTR and roaming reductions, weak consumer and corporate spending leading to falling revenues for CEE telecoms. MTel is an exception, thanks to its low-to-negative-margin energy business. Turkish telecoms are also growing, due to much better market dynamics (growing subscribers, not heavily regulated). OPEX reduction could not compensate for lower revenues, leading to falling EBITDA. CAPEX is expected to rise, due to LTE spectrum purchases in Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. Pressure to maintain a certain credit rating level. Companies such as TKA and TPSA lowered their dividends in order to preserve their credit ratings.

Shrinking telecom market EU telecom revenues down 2.2% in 2011 and 1.1% in 2012 in real terms The EU telecom sector shrank in revenue terms by 1.1% in 2012, driven by falling fixed and mobile voice revenues. Telecom service revenues were estimated at EUR 234.5bn (source: EU Commission). Within our coverage universe, the revenue decline has been persistent until now. Both fixed and mobile revenues are declining. The fixed-line revenue decline can be attributed to fixed-to-mobile substitution and cheaper bundled products. The mobile revenue decline, despite the rising number of subscriber cases, can be explained by: Price war o Austria: H3G tariff of EUR 10 for 1000 min, 1000 SMS and 1GB data is the cheapest tariff in the country and among our coverage universe o Czech Republic: Telefónica CR introduced unlimited tariffs in 2Q13 that are more than 50% cheaper than its existing tariffs. Unlimited voice and SMS plus 1GB is offered at CZK 749 (EUR 29) o Poland: TPSA introduced no-frill NJU mobile in 2Q13, whose tariffs at PLN 57 (EUR 13.6) for unlimited voice and SMS plus 1 GB data are the cheapest in the country Special taxes o The budget deficit has led the Hungarian government to levy special taxes on mobile revenues. Initiated in 2010, the special taxes have changed names and the amount has increased. Moreover, they are valid indefinitely. The case was brought by the EU Commission to the EU Court of Justice, but a similar case in France was already ruled out. As a result, the EU Commission dropped its case.

The MTR reduction also encourages lower retail prices and enables unlimited tariffs to flourish. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 8

EU single telecoms market Aware of the sector being in difficulty, the EU Commission adopts regulatory proposals for a Connected Continent, which is about faster connections, easier business, simpler life, single market, net neutrality, no roaming premiums and no red tape. Reducing red tape Single EU authorization There are more than 200 operators in the EU (28 Member States), of which more than 100 are mobile operators. None is active in all Member States. The EU Commission will introduce a single EU authorization that enables the operator to provide services in more than one Member State by using only one notification from the reference regulator. Coordinated spectrum assignment The stronger coordination of timing, duration and conditions of assignments of spectrum is encouraged. Member States would remain in charge. The EU Commission explicitly endorses spectrum trading and sharing, as well as promoting infrastructure sharing. An operator can even include the shared network in its coverage calculation to fulfill the criteria of spectrum purchase, which is positive for operators. Spectrum price EUR/population/MHz Mobile market in AT 800 MHz 2600 MHz Germany 0.73 0.022 France 0.68 0.103 Spain 0.47 0.023 Italy 0.82 0.06 Netherlands 0.5 0.002 Portugal 0.28 0.028 UK 0.48 0.054 Croatia 0.26 Source: EU Commission, T-HT Spectrum auction allows new mobile entrants Within our coverage universe, Poland, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic have yet to conclude their LTE spectrum auctions this year. PL and HU have not started any public consultation process, while AT and CZ are on track to complete the auction by the end of 2013. Some spectrum is reserved for new entrants in AT and CZ. We see PPF as a credible candidate for a new entrant in CZ, as we have heard that it has started hiring employees and negotiating with equipment suppliers. We do not expect any new entrant in AT, considering its low price level and strong competition. We do not expect any new entrant in PL, as it already has four operators/mno and plenty of MVNOs. The fourth mobile operator in HU, MPVI Mobile, is dissolving, after the initial LTE spectrum auction was annulled. We therefore do not expect any new entrant in Hungary. Removing roaming premiums Incoming call charges while travelling in the EU would be banned from July 1, 2014. There are two options for a mobile operator: 1. Roam like home: The operator could voluntarily offer domestic rates throughout the EU. In order to do so, the operator should create bilateral or multilateral roaming agreements with roaming providers in other Member States. A reasonable use criterion will be applied, in order to avoid usage abuse or roaming arbitrage. For example, a Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 10
German could not buy cheaper Austrian domestic tariffs from A1 to be used in Germany. This would lead to almost complete roaming traffic for the user. Such abuse could be avoided by the reasonable use criterion. Nevertheless, it is unclear how the reasonable use criterion would be calculated. According to the EU Commission, the reasonable use criterion will be applied in such a way that consumers are able to confidently replicate their domestic consumption pattern while travelling in the EU. How many minutes/sms/gb would that be? 2. Apply the regulated roaming tariffs, but allow customers to decouple. The customer could choose a separate roaming provider when travelling in the EU, without having to buy a new SIM card. The EU Commission provides an estimate of annual loss in revenues at the EU level resulting from the implementation of roam like home with fixed roaming volumes. The annual revenue loss is seen by the EU Commission as a wealth transfer from the mobile sector to end-users. Annual revenue loss EURmn Remove incoming roaming call charges 300 Roaming calls at domestic price 580 Roaming data at domestic price 540 Roaming SMS at domestic price 230 Total loss in revenues 1,650 Source: EU Commission EU Commission estimated annual revenue loss at ~EUR 600mn from removing fixed international call premium within EU No more international call premiums within EU Fixed intra EU calls cannot be charged more than long-distance local calls as of July 2016. The extension of the roaming price cap to the fixed-line calls is new. The likely impact is difficult to quantify. Positives: Lower charges are likely to be followed by higher volumes, as demand for international call is more elastic, near -1. Intra EU international fixed calls represent only a tiny fraction of all fixed calls, estimated at around 1.1% (source: ARCEP, CMT). Corporate clients who are the majority user of fixed intra EU calling probably have package rates. Usage of VoIP such as Skype and Viber has already reduced the fixed intra EU call market. Negatives: The price difference between intra EU international fixed call and longdistance local call is significant. The following table shows how big such a price difference is for Telekom Austria. Telekom Austria s exposure to this segment was EUR 150mn in FY12, or below 3.6% of group revenues. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 11

Customers can cancel their contracts after 6M without penalties New harmonized consumer rights These include the right to have a 12-month contract, the right to walk away from a contract if commitments are not fulfilled, and the right to cancel contracts after six months without any penalties. As most current mobile contracts have a 24-month binding period, we expect such a regulation to lead to a more rapid churn rate. Harmonizing network access cost methodology The price of wholesale copper unbundled local loop ranges from EUR 4 to 14 per month. Such a cost should be harmonized and based on bottom-up long-run incremental costs plus (BU LRIC+): incremental capital (including sunk) plus operating costs borne by efficient operators plus mark-up for recovery of common costs. o Since no operator would today build any pure copper network, the BU LRIC+ calculates the current costs of deploying a modern efficient next generation network (NGA). o When modeling an NGA network, a national regulator should not assume the construction of an entirely new civil infrastructure NGA network. Wholesale access to NGA networks should not be regulated if some criteria are met, such as a competitive retail price resulting from infrastructurebased competition. We see that it is far from straightforward as to how access to an NGA network could be excluded from the regulated price. Still no pro-consolidation Consolidation? In this sensitive topic, the EU Commission refuses to back down from its current position. The EU Commission sees no reason to change competition rules, because those rules pose few problems for cross-border mergers. Consolidation, on its own, cannot be a policy objective. Creating a single telecoms market would allow operators to expand more easily to other EU markets and change the way in which consolidation is looked at under applicable EU competition rules. We therefore would expect domestic market consolidation to remain difficult to gain EU approval. The following table shows recent transaction in the telecom sector. Most transactions involved mobile and cable companies. Orange sold its Switzerland and Austrian operations. Telefónica sold its Germany and Irish operations.

Phasing out roaming premiums Option 1: Roam like home Operators offer roaming at the domestic rate. The roaming provider could provide such tariffs by using its own network or using a bilateral/multilateral roaming agreement. Target coverage o July 1, 2014: at least 10 Member States, representing 30% of EU population o July 1, 2015: at least 15 Member States, representing 50% of EU population o July 1, 2016: at least 17 Member States, representing 70% of EU population Benefits for operators: 1. If a provider could cover at least 17 Member States (70% of EU population) with its roam like home tariffs, it may add 50% roaming surcharges to the domestic rate. 2. The operator does not need to offer decoupling, i.e. allowing a customer to choose their own roaming provider when abroad. 3. The operator does not need to apply the regulated retail roaming charges. However, the regulated retail roaming should be treated as a ceiling. Analysis: It is difficult to imagine how an operator would voluntarily lower its roaming price to the domestic rate when it can continue to charge the higher regulated retail roaming price. We can imagine that the operator would charge lower prices due to competition. However, the roaming market is still far from competitive. All operators (existing mobile network operators in the visited country) are charging almost the same price, i.e. the regulated retail price. Furthermore, demand for voice roaming was proven in the past to be inelastic. Demand elasticity for data roaming could potentially be high, though. In our opinion, the benefit would only be valuable if there are enough numbers of alternative roaming providers to make the roaming market competitive. We have yet to see this development. At the moment, there is rarely any alternative roaming provider in the EU. Large operators such as DT, FT, Telefónica and Vodafone could implement such agreements more easily and quickly at their own subsidiaries. However, we are doubtful as to whether they would do so in a timely manner, rather than waiting until July 2016. Smaller operators would even find it challenging or time consuming to conclude such agreements. Again, there is no motivation to reduce their prices voluntarily in an uncompetitive market before July 2016. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 14

Valid until June 30, 2017 In addition to applying the aforementioned rates, providers must as of July 2014 offer their customers the possibility to roam with competitors, such as a local company in the visited country or a rival company in the home country. At the moment, alternative roaming providers are still hard to find. According to the EU Commission, European mobile users paid 9.1 eurocents per voice minute in 2011. This domestic rate is considerably lower than the regulated roaming tariffs Average revenue per minute (EUR cents) in mobile calls, 2011 4.4 4.6 6 6.9 7.9 9.1 9.7 10.4 10.6 12.7 14.7 BG PL HU IT AT EU UK CZ SI FR NL Source: EU Commission Analysis: This is probably the better option for any mobile operators, large or small.

MTel reduced the rate of the access decline considerably, from around 10% in early 2011 to just 3% in 2Q13. This was due to the launch of the Hoppa tariff, a flat tariff with unlimited minutes to on-net mobile and fixed at a 30% lower ARPU. We think that the rapid churn at Netia, TPSA and TKA could be attributed to the strong mobile price competition in Poland and Austria, which encouraged fixed to mobile substitution.

The lower target price is driven by higher estimates for spectrum CAPEX. MTel announced that it would pay HUF 34bn for early extension of its existing spectrums. In addition, there will be an auction for new spectrums by the end of 2013, which we estimate to cost MTel HUF 31bn. As a result, we expect net debt to increase considerably and to lead to a significant dividend cut. We run several scenarios for DPS level. According to our calculation, DPS of HUF 10 would lead to net gearing of around 40% on a sustainable level. Parent company Deutsche Telekom provides more than 80% of MTel s financing and receives each year 59.21% of the dividends from MTel. We are doubtful that DT would approve a significant increase in leverage at MTel and leave the dividends unchanged. MTel is heavily burdened by large special communication taxes (~5% of sales) and the high price for spectrum renewal and purchases (in total HUF 75.9bn, or 12.1% of sales), negatively affecting EBITDA down to net profit. The company s EBITDA to net margin is now the lowest in our peer group. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 21
Magyar Telekom Integrated Telecoms Hungary Large CAPEX for spectrum. MTel will spend HUF 34bn on early extension of its existing spectrums in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands. In addition, there will be an auction for new spectrums as follows: Frequencies that had belonged to failed mobile entrant MPVI Mobile before: o 5 MHz on 900 MHz band o 15 MHz on 1800 MHz band o 15 MHz on 2100 MHz band The telecom regulator has said that the auction would enable a new mobile entrant. Therefore, we assume that the aforementioned 900 MHz band would be reserved for a new entrant. New frequencies for all mobile operators: o 30 MHz of 800 MHz band o 70 MHz of 2600 MHz band We assume that MTel would bid for roughly a third of these available frequencies. The total CAPEX estimate for spectrum would be HUF 65bn, as seen in the following table.

We estimate that MTel would have to increase its debt by 27% y/y to HUF 454.7bn, as seen in the following table. If we assume that the dividend of HUF 50 would be maintained, net gearing would exceed 50% next year and even 70% in five years. MTel receives more than 80% of its debt from parent company Deutsche Telekom. We are doubtful that DT would allow leverage to go up considerably while dividends remain unchanged. After all, DT only receives 59.21% of the annual dividend. We can therefore conclude that MTel can no longer afford its HUF 50 dividend.

Magyar Telekom Integrated Telecoms Hungary Change in estimates. We lower our EPS 2013 and 2014 estimates by 25% and 40%, respectively, mainly due to our higher financial expenses estimate. We increase our CAPEX estimate from HUF 87.8bn to HUF 152.8bn, due to actual spectrum renewal (HUF 34bn) and expected new spectrum (HUF 31bn). This leads to a considerably higher net debt and, consequently, higher financial expenses. We also lower our DPS 2013 and onward estimate from HUF 30 to HUF 10, as discussed earlier.

The higher target price is driven by a higher profitability assumption. We had expected worse profitability due to declining RGUs and revenues. However, the rapid decline in off-net services, such as bitstream access and wholesale line rental, has led to a correspondingly rapid decline in direct costs, which we had underestimated. Netia recently upgraded its FY13 adjusted EBITDA and FCF, due to strong OPEX reductions from integration projects, lower off-net sales and a lower interconnection rate. Netia s upside potential should come mainly from acquisitions and OPEX reduction. Shareholder remuneration as support for share price. Netia will distribute PLN 145mn or PLN 0.42 per share next year. If Netia posts net profit after impairment tests in 4Q13e, it will distribute dividends. Otherwise, Netia will conduct a share buyback instead. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 27
Netia Integrated Telecoms Poland Update on 2013 targets. Netia lowered its RGU and revenues targets for 2013, as we had expected. However, it unexpectedly upgraded its adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBIT and FCF targets. The CAPEX target remained unchanged. Lower RGU target from 2.65mn to 2.525mn, mainly due to the weak residential segment. Rapidly falling voice and - especially - wholesale line rental should contribute to 80% of the decline, while slower than expected on-net and TV additions 20%. Lower revenue target from PLN 1.925bn to PLN 1.9bn, mainly due to weak RGU. Double MTR cuts this year are already included. Raise adjusted EBITDA target from PLN 525mn to PLN 550mn, as 1H13 adjusted EBITDA reached PLN 282mn. Lower interconnection costs post MTR reductions, a relatively faster decline in off-net services and synergies from Crowley and Dialog integration were the main drivers of cost reduction. Raise adjusted EBIT from PLN 65mn to PLN 100mn. Raise adjusted FCF from PLN 300mn to PLN 325mn (CAPEX unchanged). Update on Crowley and Dialog integration. Netia acquired Crowley Data Poland and Telefonia Dialog in December 2011. The integration process is well on track. The synergy target is PLN 130mn by the end of 2014, of which PLN 120mn from cost synergies and PLN 10mn from CAPEX synergies. Synergy realization delivered in 1H13 alone amounted to PLN 72.3mn on OPEX and PLN 11.9mn on CAPEX. The development can be seen as follows. Synergy effects and realization (PLNmn) Synergies 2012 2013e 2014e OPEX 76.2 115 120 CAPEX 22 10 10 Special costs 2012 2013e 2014e OPEX -49-10 -5 CAPEX -22-35 -15 Total synergies 27 80 110 Source: Erste Group Research, company data Shareholder remuneration. Netia is committed to distributing PLN 145mn or PLN 0.42/share in 2014e to shareholders. Netia does impairment tests every 4Q. If there is still net profit after any impairment, Netia distributes dividends. If Netia turns into a net loss, then it will conduct a share buyback instead. Acquisition of UPC network. Netia bought cable networks in Warsaw and Krakow (excluding the customer base) from UPC Polska for PLN 5.8mn in May 2013. As a result, Netia s next generation access (NGA) will increase from 1.172mn to 1.715mn (12% of households). Netia is connecting the cable networks to its backbone network. A commercial launch in these new networks is expected in early 2014. This would support the provision of triple play service (IPTV, fixed broadband, fixed voice). CIT tax refund. The Supreme Administrative Court overruled the judgment of the Voivodship Administrative Court and remanded the case for reconsideration to the court of first instance. It will probably take the whole next year for the court of first instance to reach a decision. Netia claims PLN Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 28
Netia Integrated Telecoms Poland 51.9mn plus interest. Overall, there is a greater likelihood than not that Netia will receive its claim, but the timing is unknown. Possible claim damages against TPSA. The EU Commission imposed on TPSA a EUR 127.6mn (PLN 508mn) fine for abuse of its dominant position in the wholesale broadband access market before October 2009. TPSA is appealing against the decision to the General Court of the EU and a decision can be expected this year. If TPSA is proven guilty, Netia might sue TPSA and claim damages for abusing its dominant position. A claim of PLN 50-100mn might be considered. Change in estimates. We raise our 2013 earnings estimate, mainly due to better than expected OPEX savings. Netia lowered its OPEX 11.4% y/y in 1H13, thanks to strong cost control from integration projects and lower customer acquisition costs, due to lower off-net sales. We assume a dividend of PLN 0.42, rather than a share buyback.

Netia Integrated Telecoms Poland Acquisitions? According to the media, Deutsche Telekom is close to completing due diligence on GTS Central Europe. Netia is only interested in the Polish operation of GTS. It depends on DT whether it will acquire GTS Central Europe and then sell the PL operation to Netia. Exatel and TK Telekom are also potential targets. Upgrade to Hold Attractive peer group comparison Valuation and recommendation. We upgrade Netia from Reduce to Hold, while increasing our target price from PLN 4.0 to PLN 5.0. The higher target price is driven mainly by a higher profitability assumption. We had assumed that the fall in RGUs and revenues would lead to a worse decline in EBITDA. The rapid decline in sales of off-net services, such as bitstream access and wholesale line rental, has led to a correspondingly rapid decline in direct costs, which we had underestimated. Netia s upside potential should come mainly from acquisitions and OPEX reduction. Netia is traded at discounts to peers in terms of EV/EBITDA. Its FCF and dividend yield is above the peers. The shareholder remuneration of PLN 0.42/share should provide decent support to the share price.

The lower target price is driven by higher risk free rate and lower profitability estimates resulting from regulatory pressure. The neutral rating reflects the balance between strong regulatory pressure, Optima bankruptcy risk, and T-HT s strong balance sheet, possible acquisition as well as high margins. We expect regulatory pressure to increase, as Croatia is now part of the European Union. There is a steep mobile termination rate (MTR) glide path. Current MTR at 19.3 lipas should come down to 6.3 lipas as of 2015. T-HT is also now bound by the EU roaming regulation to reduce roaming premiums accordingly and eventually eliminate them. Ample cash. T-HT had HRK 5.15bn (~EUR 677.6mn) cash and financial assets as of 2Q13, and no debt at all. LTE spectrum was already bought at very reasonable price. CAPEX to sales ratio should remain at around 16-17% of sales. Dividend policy is 100% payout ratio. T-HT has the highest FCF yield in our coverage at around 14-17%. T-HT management said that they would prefer investment opportunities, rather than an extraordinary dividend. Acquisitions? T-HT is interested in the privatisation of Telekom Slovenije (TLSG) with a market capitalisation of ~EUR 930mn. The Slovenian government is expected to announce the privatisation time table by the end of Sept 2013. Locating in a neighbouring country, TLSG would provide synergy to T-HT s existing business. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 33
T-Hrvatski Telekom Integrated Telecoms Croatia The share price of TLSG has come down so much from above EUR 300 during the first privatisation attempt in 2008 to currently around EUR 110. Legal risk is, however, high as TLSG has more than EUR 400mn litigation claims, mostly from its mobile competitors. We cannot assess whether an acquisition of TLSG would be positive for T-HT without knowing the bid price. Change in estimates. We lower our 2013 earnings estimate, due to lower than expected mobile revenues and net financial income in 1H13. Furthermore, we also raise our OPEX estimates, as savings in 1H13 were lower than anticipated. The transformation program which should improve efficiency and competitiveness has yet to demonstrate its effects.

Optima Telekom is the largest alternative operator in Croatia and is now preparing a pre-bankruptcy and debt restructuring process. Its largest creditors are Zagrebacka Banka (ZABA) with around HRK 600mn outstanding claims and T-HT with around HRK 120mn outstanding receivables. The market capitalisation of Optima is HRK 19.6mn. T-HT is conducting a pre-bankruptcy settlement process, which should lead to debt-to-equity swap giving T-HT a minority stake in Optima. ZABA would transfer its future management rights to T-HT. The whole deal is subject to the Competition Regulator (AZTN) approval. This might not be easy; as such takeover would further increase T-HT s dominance in the fixed line market. The new deadline is beginning of November 2013. If a solution is not reached by then, Optima will go into bankruptcy and T-HT would face potentially large receivables impairment.

We expect the share price to remain stable in the short term, due to the exdividend date on October 10, 2013. However, two important developments should also take place in October that might negatively influence the share price. The first is the LTE spectrum auction. The spectrum auction should pave the way for a new entrant. We see PPF as a credible candidate and we have heard that the company is hiring employees and talking with equipment suppliers. The second is the early legislative election, scheduled for Oct. 25-26, 2013. The Social Democrats, who led the polls in September with 28%, have announced plans to increase the corporate income tax rate (CIT) for utilities, banks and telecoms from 19% to 25%-30%. We estimate the tax hike impact on our valuation at around CZK 30 per share. Price competition has heated up since April 2013, when TCR launched the unlimited tariffs called FREE. Competitors immediately matched the tariffs. T-Mobile showed the highest sequential net additions in 2Q13 with 9,700, followed by TCR with 3,400. TCR s market share remained unchanged sequentially in 2Q13, despite launching the aggressive tariffs. The initial idea of the tariff was to deter a new mobile player from entering CZ and locking in customers with 24-month contracts. However, the new EU single telecom market proposal, if it is approved and becomes law in 2Q14, would allow customers to cancel contract after six months without any penalty. Catalysts include the potential sale of TCR by its parent company Telefónica SA to reduce debts. PPF denied that it would buy TCR. We are not aware of any potential buyer. However, we think that a buyer would Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 37
Telefónica CR Integrated Telecoms Czech Republic rather wait until the spectrum auction is completed to know the number of players in the mobile market and/or until the CIT rate is decided. Initial impact of FREE tariff. The launch of the FREE tariff did not boost the customer base as much as we had expected. In fact, T-Mobile gathered the most net adds in the market in 2Q13. The revenue impact in the quarter was also negative, as there were more customers migrating from higher tariffs to cheaper FREE tariffs, rather than customers from lower tariffs. The impact on EBITDA was not significant. Interconnection costs rose by 7% sequentially, despite a 34% reduction in the mobile termination rate. However, there should be savings coming from lower mobile subsidy, e-bill and simpler customer service. We have yet to see whether the impact of FREE tariffs on revenues and EBITDA would improve in the coming quarters.

We believe that the Austrian mobile market remains competitive post consolidation, but prices seem to be stabilizing. It is clear that the roaming premium will eventually be eliminated. The new EU single telecom market proposal allows a voluntary roam-like-at-home (RLAH) option or the usual regulated roaming tariff option. Operators have been given until mid-2016 to show their initiatives. We do not expect TKA to adopt RLAH anytime soon. EU roaming. Revenue exposure to EU roaming amounted to EUR 285mn or 6.6% of 2012 group revenues. The respective EBITDA exposure amounted to EUR 225mn, or 15.8% of 2012 group EBITDA. According to our estimate, we expect a EUR 180mn loss in revenues and EUR 145mn in EBITDA, spread over four years between 2012 and 2016. Uncertainties. TKA confirmed that it re-joined the bidding process for Serbia Broadband. The financing of such a large acquisition would need a capital increase. If core shareholders ÖIAG and AMX were to participate accordingly to maintain their stake, then large dilution should be expected. If AMX were to participate more than its stake so as to breach the 30% threshold and the Austrian government would approve of such move, a mandatory takeover bid would be triggered.

Telekom Austria Integrated Telecoms Austria TKA maintains price premium; existing fixedline clients get better deal Austrian competition post consolidation Drei launched its new tariffs in August 2013, following the acquisition of Orange. The cheapest and very popular EUR 7.5 SIM-only tariff is retained. Drei introduced unlimited tariffs, the prices of which are comparable to T- Mobile. Unlimited data is back in all tariffs, with speed slowed down after a certain number of GB. A1 s tariffs are the highest in the market. In our example below, one can see that A1 charges 33% more than the next competitor. However, existing fixed-line or internet clients receive a EUR 10/month discount. A1 s tariffs are thus only attractive for them. We have observed that Drei is less aggressive than before. Its unlimited tariffs are priced much closer to those of T-Mobile. iphone 5 (retail price EUR 679) as of 18.9.2013 Voice SMS Data GB Tariff Name Handset Total in 24M Drei unlimited unlimited unlimited/4 30.0 Hallo XL 249 969 T-Mobile* unlimited unlimited unlimited/3 27.0 Smart net unlimited M 249 897 A1** unlimited unlimited 3 39.9 A1 GO M 199 1157 Drei 1000 1000 unlimited/1 7.5 HalloSIM M 679 859 Source: Erste Group Research. *) Promotional price, otherwise EUR 29.9 **) Price for existing fixed line/internet client EUR 29.9 Roaming exposure We have devised a roaming model based on available information from the company, as seen in the following table.

Domestic prices remain lower than the retail regulated prices. Regulated retail roaming price > domestic price According to the EU Commission, European mobile users paid 9.1 eurocents per voice minute in 2011 (-12.1% y/y). We think that users are likely to pay an even lower price/voice minute in 2012, thanks to a lower mobile termination rate and competition. This domestic price is considerably lower than the current retail roaming call of 24 eurocents or next year s 19 eurocents. It is therefore very economically challenging to offer domestic rates for roaming. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 42

Capital increase? Financing for such an acquisition would not bode well for the current credit rating. A capital increase might be considered in the event of acquisition financing. According to Austrian newspaper Der Standard, the management board presented a need for EUR 500mn (around 20% of current market capitalization) capital increase to the supervisory board meeting in August 2013. ÖIAG head Kemler said that a capital increase ahead of the elections (September 29, 2013) would be difficult to decide, but he does not want the ÖIAG stake (28.4%) to be diluted. The CEO and CFO of Telekom Austria would like to know ÖIAG's decision by the end of September. AMX would agree and participate in the capital increase to avoid any dilution to its 23.7% stake. ÖIAG could participate in the capital increase without any approval from the ministry. In practice, it would need consent from the Finance Ministry in order to finance the capital increase. Change in estimates. We raise our 2013 and 2014 earnings considerably, mainly due to lower depreciation assumptions. This was due to the fully depreciated subscriber base in Bulgaria and some fully depreciated fixedline assets in Austria.

Telekom Austria Integrated Telecoms Austria Valuation and recommendation. We upgrade TKA from Sell to Reduce, while raising the target price from EUR 4.5 to EUR 5.0. The higher target price was driven by higher revenue growth assumptions, due to the better than expected performance of Belarus and Serbia. The Austrian mobile market remains competitive post consolidation, although we see prices stabilizing. The Bulgarian segment remains under pressure, due to macroeconomic and regulatory pressures. The SBB acquisition should provide synergy for the existing business. Its corresponding financing, if in the form of capital increase, might lead to dilution or a potential mandatory takeover bid from AMX. We are waiting for the spectrum auction results, which we estimate at EUR 320mn. A considerably lower amount would be positive for TKA. Finally, the EU telecom single market proposal has yet to be accepted as law (due in 2Q14). We do not expect it to be rejected, but if this were to happen, it would be positive for TKA.

The considerable increase is driven largely by the addition of a 20% takeover premium. Moreover, the litigation risk is reduced, as a litigation claim of EUR 129.56mn from T2 was rejected by the Ljubljana District Court. Looming privatization. We are finally seeing serious progress toward the sale of the TLSG stake owned by the government. The Parliament has approved the plan to sale the stake. The state and other major shareholders directly/indirectly owned by the state have confirmed their interest in selling their shares, in total around a 75% stake. The state is seeking a financial advisor for the sale; the selection process should be completed in early October. The timeline of the sale should be announced by the end of September. Any sale of more than 25% would trigger a mandatory takeover bid, with at least the same price as its last transaction. We see T-HT as a strong candidate to buy the stake. Improving results. Compared to its CEE peers, TLSG performed better in 1H13. Its revenue and EBITDA declines were limited to 1.4% y/y and 4.6% y/y, respectively. Its EBITDA margin of 32.3% is in line with the CEE average. Domestic business contributes more than 80% to group revenues and EBITDA. The operations in Kosovo and Macedonia continued to increase their revenues and profitability. Both operations could compensate partially for the revenue and EBITDA decline in the domestic operation. TLSG is on track to meet its 2013 targets: EBITDA of EUR 245mn, net profit of EUR 50mn and CAPEX of EUR 130mn. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 48

We believe that the current share price level already takes into account the poor results for the year. EBITDA fell 19.3% y/y in 1H13, mainly due to falling revenues (-8.6% y/y). This could be attributed to mobile price competition, which has intensified since 3Q12. TPSA launched a new no-frills SIM-only tariff called NJU in April 2013. As a result, TPSA now offers two price segments: Orange for high-value customers and NJU for low-end customers. Therefore, TPSA will not need to reduce prices for premium customers. So far, NJU has been attracting clients of Play and T-Mobile. On track to meet targets. Management saw even an upside to the PLN 800mn organic cash flow target (1H13: PLN 399mn). According to our estimate, the DPS of PLN 0.5 could be sustained. We assume spectrum costs of PLN 2bn. TP might pay the EU fine of PLN 508mn. However, TP is selling Wirtualna Polska, whose price is estimated at PLN 300-400mn. We therefore expect to see TP s net debt/ebitda 2013e exceeding the 1.5x threshold to around 1.7x. Nevertheless, the level could come down to 1.5x range in 2014e. For that to happen, organic cash flow 2014e needs to improve considerably to at least PLN 1.4bn. Improvements should come from lower CAPEX (network sharing with T-Mobile) and CAPEX payables. The network sharing agreement, which was initiated in 2011 for 3G sites, has been extended to include 4G technology. TP would be able to rent 1800 MHz spectrum from T-Mobile, as TP did not win any 1800 MHz spectrum in the auction in 1Q13. This should ease 4G implementation generally.

TPSA Integrated Telecoms Poland New CEO. Witucki has resigned as CEO and will assume the position of chairman of TPSA. He has been replaced by Bruno Duthoit, who was a management board member of TPSA in 2001-06. We do not expect any significant changes to TPSA s strategy. During an interview, Duthoit plans to focus on controlling costs while slowing down the revenue decline. He has no plans to split the fixed and mobile units. He also stated that his coming to the company meant an evolution, no revolution. Catalysts include the possible sale of Wirtualna Polska (WP), depending on the price. The deadline to submit binding bids is in the second half of Sept. 2013. We think that WP could fetch PLN 300-400mn (10x EV/EBITDA), based on an earlier similar transaction (Onet.pl). The book value of WP is PLN 197mn. Dividend sustainable. It is uncertain whether TP would need to pay the EU fine of PLN 508mn and how much price TP would receive for its Wirtualna Polska sale. If we assume a low price for WP and the fine to be paid, net debt/ebitda would exceed the 1.7x in 2013e as seen below.

We expect net debt/ebitda in 2014e to decline from above 1.7x to around 1.5x levels, only if the organic CF in 2014e were increase to PLN 1.4bn. This would be possible, due to lower CAPEX (network sharing effect with T-Mobile to be visible from 2014e) and CAPEX payables.

The growth is supported by the mobile business Avea and fixed broadband business, which together contribute more than 50% of group revenues. Avea benefits from its growing post-paid subscribers at 44% of the subscriber base, rising smartphone penetration at 30% and the rapid increase in mobile Internet, by 42% y/y in 2Q13. Furthermore, its partnerships with large retailer BIM and the Turkish State Postal Service enable a far wider distribution channel. Fixed broadband business is being expanded by the roll-out of FTTH/B, currently reaching 2.2mn homes. The FTTC network has reached 5.1mn homes. The five-year regulatory holiday supports the roll-out decision. Around 79% of subscribers were in an unlimited data package in 2Q13, up from 68% a year ago. The aim is to move subscribers to unlimited data and higher speed, as well as to upsell TV products. Risks from FX exposure. TTKOM had USD 1.96bn and EUR 1.17bn in debt at the end of 2Q13 that was not hedged. The TRY has devaluated a further 3.3% q/q against the USD and 6.4% q/q against the EUR in 3Q13. According to our estimates, this would lead to around a TRY 300mn FX loss in 3Q13. Depending on the TRY development by the end of 2003, earnings and consequently dividends would be reduced by the FX losses. We assume 2.03/USD and 2.58/EUR by year-end, which would lead to around TRY 740mn of FX losses. DPS in 2013e should fall 28% y/y to 0.5 kurus, before rising again to above 0.6 kurus from 2014 onwards. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 57
Turk Telekomunikasyon AS Integrated Telecoms Turkey Digiturk sale. TTKOM issued a USD 530mn non-binding offer for a 53% stake in Digiturk. The Savings Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) seized control of Digiturk from Cukurova, in connection with failure of payments. Providence Equity Partners owns 47% of Digiturk. Digiturk is the largest pay TV provider with a 62% market share and more than 3mn satellite TV subscribers. Digiturk has broadcasting rights for Super League and 1st League for four football seasons (until the end of 2013/14 season), worth USD 321mn. Recently, Dogan Group gave a USD 742mn offer for Digiturk, dwarfing the offer of TTKOM. However, Dogan owns the second largest pay TV provider, D-Smart, with a 38% market share. We are doubtful that Dogan s offer would be approved by the Competition Regulator. We would expect pressure on TTKOM to increase its bid price, considering the large gap between the two offers. According to our estimate, Digiturk generates annual revenues of around TRY 850mn or USD 447mn, based on the July exchange rate when the offer was submitted. The bid implies USD 1bn for the entire company. P/Sales of TTKOM s offer = 2.2x P/Sales of Dogan s offer = 3.1x P/Sales of average peer group = 2.1x Synergies should come from cross selling of TV products to existing TTKOM customers and bundled product opportunities. The satellite TV business would also be complemented with TT s pay TV offerings. The current offer of TTKOM is within the peer group average, but it is unlikely to be accepted. We are generally positive about the potential deal, but 3x P/Sales would be too expensive. One should also consider the TRY devaluation against the USD from July to date, which makes the implied TRY sale price even more expensive. FX risks. We assess the impact of TRY devaluation against the USD and TRY as follows: Assumption: 2.03 TRY/USD and 2.578 TRY/EUR at year-end 2013 EPS and DPS 2013e: FX losses of TRY 740mn would lead to 25.4% lower EPS and 25.4% lower dividend Net debt 2013e would increase 9.6% in TRY terms to TRY 7.343bn DCF valuation would decline TRY 0.2/share or 2.4% to TRY 8.0 Overall, the impact on EPS and DPS in the particular year when the TRY devaluation takes place would be significant. However, the impact on the overall target price is marginal. Erste Group Research Sector Report Page 58
Turk Telekomunikasyon AS Integrated Telecoms Turkey Change in estimates. We lower our 2013 earnings estimate, as we increase our FX loss estimate from TRY 400mn to TRY 740mn. Dividend estimates for 2013 are consequently reduced. We lower our 2014 earnings estimates, mainly due to higher depreciation resulting from the FTTx network roll-out.

We lower our target price from TRY 8.2 to TRY 8.0, mainly due to the higher risk-free rate resulting from the recent increase in government bond yields. The higher net debt in TRY terms post-devaluation also contributes to a lower target price. Aside from the FX and risk-free rate volatility, we see SPO as the key risk to our target price. The state is to sell a 6.7% stake in TTKOM by the end of 2013, which is material compared to the current free float of 12.5%. However, we expect the impact on the share price to be temporary.

Turkcell offers strong domestic revenue growth, stable margins and large amounts of USD cash as a natural hedge against TRY devaluation. We expect EBITDA margin improvement in Ukraine and Superonline and a slightly declining domestic EBITDA margin in the medium term. We estimate an EBITDA CAGR 2012-2017e of 6.5%, which is among the highest in our coverage. Not a dividend story. We expect shareholder disputes to continue and delay any dividend decisions. Based on the new law, the CMB would appoint an Investor Compensation Committee if TCELL fails to hold AGM for two years (2014 and 2015). This committee could exercise general assembly rights, including dividend decisions, without convening any general assembly. Therefore, TCELL should pay a dividend by 2015 at the latest. Regulatory measures as of July 1, 2013, mean that a higher minimum onnet voice price should affect TCELL s competitiveness negatively. Its pricing would remain at a premium compared to competitors. Nevertheless, its superior network quality, with 3G coverage at 84%, its own series of smartphones and tablets, and various innovative services for customers and corporates should compensate for the premium price.

Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS Wireless Turkey Update on BoD structure The BoD of TCELL is now complete, consisting of five independent members and two from TeliaSonera. Some decisions, such as dividends and the approval of historical accounts can only be approved by the General Assembly (GA). As long as the dispute between Alfa and Cukurova continues, a GA is unlikely to take place, and consequently dividends are unlikely to be approved. Latest status on shareholder dispute The Privy Council has granted Cukurova more time (on top of the original 60 days) to raise the USD 1.56bn needed to redeem its stake in Turkcell from Alfa. No deadline for payment, but parties could ask for one after December 1 or if circumstances change, such as if the US Court of Appeal allows Cukurova to put up its Turkcell shares as loan collateral. Payment of interest to Alfa was suspended as of July 29, 2013. The Privy Council implied that the court action in the US could prevent Cukurova from raising the necessary funds to redeem the Turkcell shares. Background: TeliaSonera sued Cukurova in the International Chamber of Commerce for selling Turkcell shares to Alfa in 2005, despite a binding purchase agreement between TeliaSonera and Cukurova. TeliaSonera won the case and was granted a final award of USD 932mn + interest, to be paid by Cukurova. As Cukurova did not pay, TeliaSonera went to the US Court, asking it to freeze Cukurova s assets including the Turkcell shares. Turkcell is also registered as a company in the US. This resulted in considerable difficulties for Cukurova when raising financing using Turkcell stake as collateral. Next events to be expected: The US Court of Appeal is due to decide in September or October 2013 whether to unfreeze Cukurova s Turkcell stake After a decision is made, any dissatisfied party could ask for a hearing in the Supreme Court The Supreme Court would decide to conduct or reject any hearing We therefore think that the shareholder dispute is likely to continue for some time. Change in estimates. We lower our 2013 earnings, as we estimate higher direct cost of revenues (mainly driven by interconnection costs). We also estimate lower net financial results, as interest incomes were smaller than expected, despite rising net cash. We assume dividends for 2010-13 to be paid together in 2014, based on a 50% payout ratio. However, we cannot rule out further delay in dividend payment, due to shareholder dispute.

The result of this fundamental valuation is adjusted to reflect the analyst's views on the likely course of investor sentiment. Whichever valuation method is used there is a significant risk that the target price will not be achieved within the expected timeframe. Risk factors include unforeseen changes in competitive pressures or in the level of demand for the company s products. Such demand variations may result from changes in technology, in the overall level of economic activity or, in some cases, from changes in social values. Valuations may also be affected by changes in taxation, in exchange rates and, in certain industries, in regulations. Investment in overseas markets and instruments such as ADRs can result in increased risk from factors such as exchange rates, exchange controls, taxation, political and social conditions.
