MegaFon PAO EV/EBIT

What does MegaFon PAO do? MegaFon PAO is a Russian telecommunications conglomerate that was founded in 1993. The company is headquartered in Moscow and is now the second largest mobile operator in Russia. MegaFon is listed on the stock exchange and has around 80 million customers in Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. In its early days, MegaFon exclusively offered mobile services, but the range of services has since expanded. MegaFon operates in three areas: mobile, fixed-line, and digital services. In the mobile business, MegaFon offers various prepaid and contract rate plans that can be tailored to individual needs. The company utilizes third generation (3G) GSM network and fourth generation (4G) Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network for its mobile services. MegaFon is also continuously expanding its network and is currently installing more 4G LTE stations throughout Russia. In the fixed-line area, MegaFon provides its customers with high-speed internet, television, and landline telephony. The company has installed over 250,000 kilometers of cable connections across Russia to ensure fast and reliable connectivity. In addition to its traditional telecommunications services, MegaFon also develops digital services. The company offers cloud storage services and online streaming services for music and movies, among others. While MegaFon continues to grow and expand its products and services, the company has also faced challenges. Particularly in the years 2015/2016, MegaFon experienced a decline in revenue due to an economic crisis in Russia. To increase revenue, MegaFon has changed its business strategy. The company now focuses on offering higher value-added services such as cloud services and big data analytics. MegaFon has also discontinued the sale of cellphone accessories and souvenirs in its stores to better concentrate on its core business. MegaFon has also invested in the development of technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and 5G networks. The company has already successfully conducted 5G tests in Moscow and St. Petersburg and plans to offer nationwide 5G service by 2021. The company has also formed partnerships with other companies to expand its offering. In 2017, MegaFon partnered with e-commerce giant Alibaba to provide its customers access to AliExpress and other online marketplaces. MegaFon has also increased its efforts in corporate social responsibility (CSR) and launched a program to promote digitalization in Russia. The company opened a "Digital Lab" in 2016 to support young Russian startups and provide them with technology and resources. Despite the challenges MegaFon has faced in recent years, the company remains a significant player in the Russian telecommunications market. The company has successfully changed its business strategy and expanded its offerings to meet the needs of its customers. With its investments in new technologies and partnerships, MegaFon will remain resilient and prepared for the future challenges of the competitive telecommunications market.
