“Despite the ongoing integration of primacom and pepcom, the currently running migration of our systems as well as the recently launched rebranding project, our day to day business is running very smoothly. Therefore, I am very pleased that we ended the first quarter with increasing revenues and disproportionate Normalised EBITDA growth year on year”, said Ronny Verhelst, CEO of Tele Columbus Group. “The successful results show that we are very well on track setting up the company as a strong new attacker in the market to take advantage of the numerous chances in our industry.”
