肯尼亚：电信商Safaricom上半年息税前利润增长约40%至911亿先令 埃塞俄比亚初创亏损收窄
肯尼亚电信集团 Safaricom 11月5日表示，其本财年上半年息税前利润（EBIT）增长约40%，达到911亿肯尼亚先令（约7.0158亿美元）。首席执行官 Peter Ndegwa 在简报会上公布了这一业绩。
Ndegwa 说，业绩增长由埃塞俄比亚业务初创亏损减少与肯尼亚本土业务的稳健表现共同推动。截至9月底的六个月里，集团服务收入增长13%，达到2261亿先令。
Safaricom 于2022年在埃塞俄比亚启动业务，当时埃塞俄比亚政府开始向外国竞争者开放其管制严格的经济。该公司希望其在非洲人口第二大国的业务能为未来增长提供动力。

Kenya: Safaricom Says First-Half EBIT Rose About 40 Percent to 91.1 Billion Shillings as Ethiopia Start-Up Losses Narrow
Kenyan telecoms group Safaricom said on November 5 that its earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) rose about 40 percent to 91.1 billion shillings (US$701.58 million) in the first half of its financial year. Chief Executive Peter Ndegwa announced the result at a briefing.
Ndegwa said the result was driven by a reduction in start-up losses in Ethiopia and a solid performance in Kenya. Group service revenue rose 13 percent to 226.1 billion shillings in the six months to the end of September, a presentation by Ndegwa showed.
Safaricom launched in Ethiopia in 2022, when the government there started to open up its tightly controlled economy to foreign competition. It is hoping its presence in Africa's second most populous country will power future growth.
