Comments about Emirates Telecommunications Company Q3 2008 results
19 October 2008 (am): Complete statements released by Etisalat. Appears to be an error in press release as Total Assets is AED 59 bn and Shareholder's Equity is AED 30 bn. Operating Profit for 2007 M9 has been restated (appears to be before deduction of royalty payments, previously was net, but no obvious explanation supplied in financial accounts) from AED 1,658,190,000, COGS also restated but Revenue figure was unchanged. Treat above figures with caution, statements supplied by Etisalat were of typically poor legibility.
18 October 2008 (pm): Limited information from Etisalat press release. Total Assets was stated as AED 32.5 billion which appears to be too low. Perhaps it was meant to be Shareholders's Equity. Other Balance Sheet figures for 30 Sep 2008 not supplied so 31 Jul 2008 figures used for ROE and PBV calculations. Unknown if Net Profit figures supplied by Etisalat include Minority Interests but is unlikely to make a material difference to EPS figures either way.
Have your say in the ETISALAT 2008 Q3 results forum topic, includes directors reports and news, if available.
