Du reports $270m in Q4 profit on tax write back

  • United Arab Emirates: Wednesday, February 20 - 2013 at 06:33

UAE telecoms operator Du has said its quarterly profit has more than doubled, as it wrote back tax provisions and saw an increase in its subscriber base, Reuters has reported. Du made a fourth-quarter net profit of Dhs994m ($270.62m)in the three months to December 31, up from Dhs440m in the year-earlier period. Fourth-quarter revenue was Dhs2.74bn, compared with Dhs2.4bn a year ago. The firm paid Dhs844m in royalty fees for 2012, while pre-royalty net profit was Dhs2.82bn, which is equivalent to a tax rate of about 30%. This compares with 2011's royalty of Dhs715m and pre-royalty net profit of Dhs1.81bn, which equates to a tax rate of 39.5%.
