• Retail revenue rose 27% YoY owing to higher data and voice revenues,
which constituted 68% and 17% of top line growth, respectively.
• Wholesale revenue came in at EGP 11.5bn, flat YoY, driven by higher
domestic revenue that is fuelled by the mounting demand for data
services by MNOs. This neutralized the decline in IC&N revenue due to the
base effect of the Bharti deal signed in 2018.

FY 2019 performance:
Retail revenue grew 27% YoY, representing 55% of top line with data revenue growing 33% YoY.
Home & Consumer increased 30% YoY on the back of higher data revenue, which constituted 85% of the business
unit’s total growth.
Enterprise climbed 18% YoY, mainly driven by the growing demand for managed services and fixed voice revenue
growth.
Mobile revenue grew 61%, driving 20% of overall top line growth on a growing customer base and healthy ARPU.
Wholesale landed at EGP 11.5bn, stable YoY, as domestic revenue surged (+16% YoY), neutralizing the decline in
IC&N (-15% YoY) revenue due to the base effect of the Bharti deal signed in 2018.
The continuing demand for data from MNO customers and our successful bitstream products that support their fixed
broadband growth drove Domestic Wholesale growth.
ICA came in almost flat YoY, despite the appreciation of the EGP against the USD, due to higher international
incoming traffic.
