Hedgefonds will mit Klageschrift Insolvenzantrag von Colt Telecom erzwingen


LONDON (dpa-AFX) - Der Hedgefonds Highberry will mit einer Klageschrift einen Insolvenzantrag der britischen Telekomgesellschaft Colt Telecom Group   erzwingen, da Colt Anleihen mit Fälligkeit 2005 bis 2009 nicht zurückzahlen könne. Die Klage entbehre jeder Grundlage, teilte Colt Telecom am Mittwoch mit. Das Unternehmen sei zuversichtlich, die Anleihen zurückzahlen zu können. Für das Jahr 2005 erwartet Colt eigenen Angaben zufolge einen positiven Cash-Flow./cs/st/sh

COLT Telecom steigert Umsatz und Gewinn im ersten Quartal

Das britische Telekommunikationsunternehmen COLT Telecom Plc. steigerte im ersten Quartal des laufenden Jahres den Umsatz um 10 Prozent von 246,8 auf 271,7 Mio. Pfund.

Zugleich kletterte der Gewinn vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen um 247 Prozent von 9,8 auf 34,0 Mio. Pfund

Zu verdanken hat man diese enorme Gewinnsteigerung den Kostensenkungen, die in den letzten Monaten forciert wurden. Aber auch die Steigerung von margenstarken Geschäften trug zur Verbesserung der Lage bei.

Die Zahl der Mitarbeiter hat sich im Vergleich zum Vorjahresquartal von 4.442 auf 5.240 verringert.

Ziel der Gesellschaft ist es, bis 2005 einen positiven Free-Cashflow zu erzielen.

Die Aktie verlieren in London 6,32 Prozent auf 44,50 Pence.

Steve Akin, COLT's President and Chief Executive Officer added:

"Our performance for the quarter reflected further progress on the achievement of our key priorities of profitable revenue growth and tight management of operating costs and capital expenditure.
"Revenues grew by 10% to £271.7 million with retail revenues improving by 20.7%. At the same time non-switched services accounted for 40.6% of revenues compared with 38.0% in the first quarter of 2002.
"As well as giving increased emphasis to growing same-customer-sales we also continued to win new customers and amongst the more significant new contract wins was Oracle, the world's largest enterprise software company, which has chosen COLT as one of its preferred pan-European suppliers. We also achieved an important win in Portugal with Banco Investimento Global Services (BIG). Other new customers included ST Microelectronics, the semiconductor company. In the governmental sector we continued to make progress with a new contract with Rome University for whom COLT will provide services up to 1 Gbps connecting 9 buildings. Also in Rome, we have won new contracts with the Ministries of Culture and Environment. In France, both local and central government contracts have been won with Les Hospices Civils de Lyon, Communaute Urbaine de Lyon and Ministere des Affaires Sociales.
"The improvement in gross margin before depreciation and exceptional items reflects the improvement in revenue mix as well as the actions we have taken to tightly manage operating costs. SG&A costs before exceptional items were reduced from £61.0 million in the first quarter of 2002 to £57.2 million in the first quarter of 2003. We have reduced staff numbers by a further 231 during the quarter, including temporary/contract workers, bringing the total to 4,624. We remain on course to reduce staff numbers to approximately 4,300 before the end of the year.
"The major construction phase of our network infrastructure was completed at the beginning of 2002 and we are now concentrating capital investment on winning new business. There was a further reduction in capital expenditure to £41.6 million compared with £139.1 million in the first quarter last year.


"While there are no signs of any improvement in the operating environment generally, we expect to make further progress during the second quarter and the year as a whole."

significantly reduced real-estate overheads by consolidating its hosting requirements. Call centres and conference bridging facilities have been reduced to two main COLT hosting sites in London and Berlin, with a third smaller site at COLT Stockholm
reduced its call costs substantially, enabling the company to set aggressive rates for its service whilst improving margins

In addition, Genesys has launched its “LocalConnect" service, which offers the ability to join an international conference call, but only pay for a local call at local rates.

According to Nigel Dunn, Genesys general manager of Northern European operations, “We wanted to reduce our call costs and simplify the process of dealing with multiple telecoms providers. Using COLT's pan-European IN service and hosting facilities, we have successfully streamlined the way we provide our multimedia conferencing suite and so offer more competitive services.”

Andy Irvine, director of voice services at COLT, added, "Finding the best and most cost-effective way to keep in touch with customers across Europe can be a real challenge. As proved by the service uptake by over 100 customers, COLT's international IN service has taken away the headache of handling multiple telecoms providers or setting up multi-country call centres. Importantly, organisations can set a single level of service for their customers across several countries, rather than getting different service levels in different countries.”

COLT is one of the best connected service providers in Europe. It carries 25 billion minutes a year on its pan-European voice network, which reaches 32 cities in 13 countries. The international IN service is managed and monitored, with COLT taking full responsibility for service delivery, around the clock. COLT is rolling out its international IN service to the rest of Europe during 2004.
