Telekom najavljuje prodaju obveznica od pola milijarde evra, a direktor kompanije Vladimir Lučić poručuje da će tako zarađeni novac biti iskorišćen za, kako je rekao, diverzifikaciju duga i refinansiranje kredita. On priznaje da kompanija trenutno duguje 1,4 mlrd EUR, ali tvrdi da i prihodi značajno rastu.

Novi poziv upomoć, vredan pola milijarde evra, Telekom će uputiti sa frankfurtske ili luksemburške berze. Prvi čovek te kompanije ubeđen je da investitori više neće biti rezervisani zbog rata u Ukrajini i u prodaji obveznica Telekoma ima optimističnu viziju: biće para da se pokriju i dugovi i krediti, ali i da se opet ulaže.

- Faktički naš neto dug iznosi 1,4 mlrd EUR. Ono što je dobro, 2021. godine imali smo naporan investicioni ciklus, čak smo kupili englesku i italijansku ligu, ali nismo povećali ukupan konsolidovani dug. To znači da nama prihod značajnije raste i krajem 2022. godine počećemo da smanjujemo dug, a profitabilnost će se povećavati - naveo je Vladimir Lučić, generalni direktor Telekom Srbija.

Opoziciona političarka Marinika Tepić tvrdi da Telekom fingira gotovo sve rezultate i da su realni prihodi mnogo manji od onih koje ta firma navodi.

- Telekom je 2017. imao neto dug od 468 mil EUR, a sada od 1,5 mlrd EUR - napisala je na Tviteru Tepićeva.

Čeka nas vrlo turbolentan finansijski izveštaj o poslovanju Telekoma, kaže ekonomski novinar Miša Brkić. Zaključuje da će se, kada budu zvanično objavljeni, rezultati Telekoma za 2021. otkriti loše poslovanje i pita se ko će biti garant obveznica koje ta kompanija planira da proda.

- Ako je to država, onda znači da se ona ponovo zadužuje za pola milijarde evra i u slučaju da Telekom to ne bude mogao da vraća, država će stati iza toga, to vam je isto kao u slučaju zaduživanja Srbijagasa ili EPS-a - navodi Brkić.

Telekom is announcing the sale of bonds of half a billion euros, and the company’s CEO, Vladimir Lucic, says that the money earned that way will be used for, as he called it, the diversification of the debt and for loan refinancing. He admits that the company currently owes EUR 1.4 billion, but also claims that the revenues are growing substantially.

The new S.O.S., worth half a billion euros, will be sent by Telekom from either the Frankfurt or the Luxembourg stock exchange. The company’s head is convinced that investors will no longer be reluctant due to the war in Ukraine and has an optimistic vision when it comes to the sale of Telekom’s bonds: there will be money to cover both the debts and the loans, but also to invest again.

– Practically, our net debt is EUR 1.4 billion. What’s good is that, in 2021, we had an intensive investment cycle, we even bought the English and Italian leagues, but we didn’t increase the total consolidated debt. That means that our revenues are growing substantially and, in late 2022, we will start lowering the debt, and the profitability will increase – said Vladimir Lucic, the CEO of Telekom Srbija.

Marinika Tepic, a politician from the opposition, claims that Telekom is faking nearly all the results and that the actual revenues are much lower than cited by the company.

– In 2017, Telekom had a net debt of EUR 468 million, and now it has a debt of EUR 1.5 billion – Tepic tweeted.

We have a very turbulent financial report on Telekom’s operations ahead of us, says the economic journalist Misa Brkic. He concludes that, once officially published, Telekom’s 2021 results will reveal bad business operations and wonders who will guarantee for the bonds that the company plans to sell.

– If it’s the state, what that means is that it will once again borrow half a billion euros and, in case Telekom is not able to repay that, the state will back them. It’s the same as in the cases of the borrowing done by Srbijagas or EPS – Brkic.
