In 2017, operations in Morocco generated revenues of MAD 20,481 million, down 3.6%. The decline in incoming international traffic induced by the deregulation of IP telephony in Novemberb2016 and the asymmetry of Mobile call termination rates since the first of Marchb2017 have weighed on Mobile revenues but are nevertheless partially offset by the increase in Fixed-line and Internet activities. The Fixed-line and Internet activities’growth combined to the savings coming from the voluntary redundancy plan and efforts to optimize costs have increased the EBITDA margin by 1.0 points to 52.8%.

Adjusted earnings from operations were MAD 6,954 million, down 2.8% due to the decline in EBITDA. The adjusted EBITA margin improved by 0.3 points vs. prior year to 34.0%. Cash flow from operations in Morocco was up 2.7% to more than MAD 7 billion, thanks to continued efforts to optimize Working Capital Requirements (WCR).
