María Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO:
“The results for the third quarter were overall good and the
results clearly show the resilience and strength of the company. We
saw healthy revenue growth in the main telecommunications services
as well as TV services, where the number of subscribers has
continued to increase. Also, our investments in advertising sector
have met the expectations that were made at the time of the
purchase and have had a significant positive effect on the share of
advertising revenue in the company's operations.
In September, changes were made to the company's organization
chart, where one support division was closed, and two new divisions
were created. The goals of the changes are, on the one hand, to
further strengthen sales and marketing of the company's products,
and on the other hand, to increase the focus on product and
business development. Considerable costs followed these changes,
and they were added to the accrued costs due to the change of CEO,
which was also charged in the quarter.
As a result of the changed focus in operations, we began to
review the company's strategy, and these plans will be presented in
more detail in the coming months. It is clear that the company
intends to continue moving forward, and we will focus on broadening
the company's revenue base by developing and adding to our product
offering new digital services and solutions that fit well with our
customers' needs."
