So what is IEMR’s Forecast?

Total wireless subscriber accounts in Ukraine to reach 60.7 million in 2013

Given the latest quarter numbers, our forecasting model now predicts that the number of total wireless subscribers in Ukraine will change from 59.1 million in 2008 to 60.7 million in 2013.
Kyivstar will continue to have the highest number of subscribers among other operators. We expect that Kyivstar will have 24.7 million subscribers in 2013.
On the other hand, we expect that UMC will have 19.2 million subscribers and Astelit will have 12.3 million subscribers in 2013.

Kyivstar and UMC will be losing market shares to Astelit and URS over the next five years

We forecast that Astelit's subscriber market share will increase from 18.0% to 20.4% and URS (VimpelCom)'s market share will increase from 4.6% to 5.6% over the forecast period, 2008 - 2013.
Although Kyivstar will continue to maintain its subscriber market share lead, we expect that Kyivstar's market share will decline from 41.6% in 2008 to 40.7% in 2013. We also expect that UMC's market share will decline from 34.8% in 2008 to 31.6% in 2013.

ARPU levels in Ukraine will be stabilizing from 2009 to 2013

Our model predicts that the industry average monthly ARPU will remain in the range of UAH 35 - UAH 37 over the next several years.
We expect that URS (VimpelCom) will continue to receive the highest level of ARPU in Ukraine at UAH 40.97 in 2013.
On the other hand, we expect that the largest operator, Kyivstar, will see its monthly ARPU decline from UAH 44.38 in 2008 to UAH 35.21 in 2013.

Kyivstar's EBITDA margin will remain above 59% over the next several years

We forecast that the industry average EBITDA margin (calculated as EBITDA/reported revenue) will be in the range of 43% - 46% over the forecast period, 2008 - 2013.
We expect that Kyivstar's EBITDA margin will remain strong at approximately 59% from 2009 to 2013.
Our model forecasts that UMC's EBITDA margin will be lower at 44.8% in 2013, slightly down from 45.2% in 2013.
