<\/figure>New Delhi: Airtel\u2019s Africa business reported a net profit of $240 million in the fiscal fourth quarter, a 56% on-year jump, and 33% increase sequentially, due to tighter cost controls, even as customer additions and average revenue per user (ARPU<\/a>) fell sequentially. Revenue for the quarter ended March rose 18% on-year and 0.2% sequentially to $1.222 billion, the company said Wednesday.
\u201cWe have delivered strong double-digit growth in revenues across all our regions and all our key services, with improving margins driven by strong cost control, and expanding cash generation which is enabling us to continue to invest in our network and services and expand our distribution, as well as strengthening our balance sheet and increasing our returns to shareholders,\u201d Segun Ogunsanya, chief executive officer, said in an official statement Wednesday.
<\/div><\/div>The Africa unit\u2019s net finance costs in the March quarter increased 8% on-year but declined 8.2% sequentially, to $112 million.
\u201cNet finance costs were broadly flat, as lower foreign exchange and derivative losses, higher interest income and a one-time $12 million gain in other finance charges as a result of the reversal of an interest provision in one of our operating entities were offset by a one-off cost of $19 million for the applicable premium paid on the early repayment of the $505 million bonds in March 2022,\u201d the company said in its quarterly report.
The company said it remains mindful of currency devaluation and repatriation risks, however. \u201cThere are increasing challenges from global inflationary pressures, but we continue to target revenue growth ahead of the market and moderate margin expansion,\u201d the CEO said.
Airtel Africa<\/a> added that an \u201cincrease in tax charges of $187 million was due to higher operating profits, and withholding tax on dividends by subsidiaries.\u201d
The company\u2019s net debt fell 3.5% sequentially to $2.941 billion, in the quarter ended March 2022.
Airtel Africa said it has strengthened its balance sheet through both deleveraging and reducing its US dollar debt expense. The company improved its leverage ratio to 1.3x net debt to underlying EBITDA in the quarter ended March.
