Europe's sixth largest mobile phone company mmO2 says it expects its annual core earnings to meet market forecasts of £1.34 billion.
In a trading statement ahead of unveiling full-year results on May 18, mmO2 said analysts were forecasting annual earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of £1.25-1.43 billion pounds.
MmO2, which last month turned down a takeover offer from Dutch rival KPN, said it expected to report service revenue growth in its key British market in the mid-teens in percentage terms.
In Ireland, the company said revenue growth would be broadly in line with the first half.
