6. Forward expectations
MTG is increasing its investments in its pay-TV operations in the increasingly competitive
Nordic markets and in the large scale emerging Russian and Ukrainian markets, in order
to ensure that its channels and services have the most attractive consumer content
offerings and capture subscriber market share in the future.
• Increasing investments in Nordic pay-TV content, premium channels and Viaplay
online pay-TV service currently expected to result in Nordic pay-TV EBIT margin of
approximately 15% in Q4 2012 and 10-12% for full year 2013. The total Nordic
premium pay-TV subscriber base (excluding Viaplay) is currently expected to continue
to decline in Q4 2012 and for the full year 2013 due to the ongoing decline in the DTH
subscriber base and lower than anticipated growth in the third party network subscriber
base, and result in stable quarter on quarter total Nordic pay-TV sales in Q4 2012 and
stable year on year sales for the full year 2013. The fast growing Viaplay online pay-TV
service is expected to continue to grow its subscribers and revenues throughout this
period
• Increasing investments in Russian and Ukrainian pay-TV content, HD channels and
pre-paid satellite service in Ukraine currently expected to boost Emerging Markets pay-
TV revenue growth levels and result in segment operating losses of less than SEK 20
million in Q4 2012 and less than SEK 50 million for full year 2013
