are based on management's best assessment of the Company's strategic and financial position, and future
market conditions and trends. These discussions involve risks and uncertainties. The actual outcome may

Competitive strength (e.g. own transport network) in these
regions will be also used as an additional filter to rank branches

CAPEX to revenue ratio is a good proxy for
measuring CAPEX efficiency on matured
markets
Underinvestment during 2008-2009 crisis
and rapid data development is a reason for
considerable investment activity in 2011-
2012 for CIS
Key areas for investment are
Accelerated 3G rollout to support demand
for mobile data
New roll-out and expansion to reach parity
with competitors on key markets
New data technology implementation and
piloting, IP TN deployment to win leadership
in perception and finally in data revenue 
Cost effective 2G solutions to maintain
voice as the main revenue stream
Synergies in prices and technologies to
improve efficiency and returns

Relatively low data usage creates promising prospects
Attractive market for international competition
High level of interconnection between CIS countries creates

Mobile*:
Major players: Kyivstar, MTS, Astelit (brand “Life”). Kyivstar
is the leading multiplay operator in Ukraine, with a #1
position in mobile and a #3 position in fixed.
Key consumer trends: high MOU due to proliferation of free
on-net pricing model, 30-40% growth in mobile data
Regulatory: pressure on MTR, delays in 3G license auction
Value chain: Minor progress in network sharing due to the
absence of massive roll-out, no consolidation in retail

Major competitors: Ukrtelecom (incumbent), Vega, Volia,

Kyivstar is the 3rd  (behind Ukrtelecom and Volia) but the

In fixed voice Kyivstar is focused on the B2B segment where

Addressing Current Situation

Other
Opex
Current Situation
Actions
EBITDA
Macroeconomic growth does not drive recovery in
telecom
Mobile segment saturation with declining rate of revenue
growth requires us to launch / develop non-mobile
businesses putting pressure on margins and capex
Regulatory environment is challenging (delay in 3G
license, SMP and MTR regulation, increase in regulatory
charges)
Growth of mobile network to cater for growing traffic and
development of fixed businesses drive maintenance opex
Significant share of opex is not driven by volume but by
inflation and are very hard to control (electricity rate,
frequency fees, regulator charges, etc)
Implement organizational development and talent retention
programs to further improve integrated corporate culture,
employee productivity and motivation
Pricing excellence in mobile and transition to bundles to
defend subscriber and revenue market shares
Aggressive FTTB roll-out and leadership in net adds
Integrated mobile-fixed offers to B2B segment
Sale of user devices to stimulate data usage
Stimulate 3G license release and network roll-out
Consumers show preference for a bundle pricing model and
are significantly increasing usage of voice, data and
multimedia services, which needs to be monetized
Further develop a multichannel retail and distribution
model
Transformational projects currently under development:
network swap, network outsourcing, potential NW sharing
Local synergies delivery + Global synergies delivery
Frequency related synergies, if we are able to transfer URS
frequencies to Kyivstar and/or if refarming becomes
possible
Significant reduction of commissions for past two years
helped to compensate for NW opex growth, but resulted
in the
lowest
rates
vs
competition
such
levels
are
not
sustainable in future
Overall ambition of EBITDA margin management is to achieve sustainable structural opex saving from mobile network
swap/outsourcing projects to compensate for margin decline from fixed businesses and finance commercial and
organizational priorities/challenges.

Capital Efficiency
Kyivstar has been the leader in capital
efficiency in the Ukrainian market, investing
more effectively than our competitors while
maintaining market leadership
Increase in capex in 2010-2011 is driven by
growing voice and data consumption, and
significant FTTB roll-out
Future capex needs are driven by the need to
increase network capacity and maintain quality
in mobile, development of FTTB and B2B Fixed
business, potential 3G license acquisition and
roll-out
Capex efficiency is to be maintained through:

Conclusions
1.
Challenging
context:
macroeconomic
growth
does
not
drive
recovery
in
telecom,
mobile
segment
saturation, regulatory environment is challenging
2.
Strong demand and usage:
consumers show preference for a bundle pricing model and are
significantly increasing usage of voice, data and multimedia services, which the operators need to
monetize
3.
Broadband land-grabbing:
fixed broadband is in a period of “turf wars”, while development of
mobile broadband is hampered by the lack of 3G licenses
4.
Balanced
strategy:
Kyivstar
is
continuing
to
implement
a
balanced
strategy
of
cash
flow
maximization with gradual transition to bundled mobile offers, development of non-mobile
businesses, coupled with lean cost management to deliver best possible cash flows at a cost of
minor loss in core mobile market share
5.
Key priorities for 2012:
1.
Pricing
excellence
and
move
to
bundles
in
mobile
2.
3G

The 4G/LTE Opportunity for WIND
MTRs
expected
to
decline
over
the
coming
years
reducing

Data will grow both in terms of consumer demand and in terms of corporate demand, including M2M
applications –
volumes of data expected to grow 26x over 2010-20
Mobile
Data
will
increasingly
become
the
key
decision
driver
for
the
majority
of
the market:
More content downloaded in same amount of time; relevant for data intense services such as music or
video
“Always-on”
service experience
Better response time between sending and receiving data, making real-time applications possible (e.g.,
VoIP, gaming)
Lower cost/Gbyte
Ability to capture mobile broadband revenue upside
That main competitors do not have a structural advantage
Ability to bundle voice with data and avoid revenue loss
4G allows to step-change customer experience in mobile data :
For WIND 4G is critical to ensure:
