Key developments for Safaricom Limited (SCOM)
Safaricom Limited reported earnings results for the half year ended September 30, 2009. The company's pre-tax profit for the period rose 1.7% against a competitive environment and dwindling average revenue per user (ARPU). The company's pre-tax profit grew from KES 8.9 billion recorded over a similar period in 2008 to reach KES 9.1 billion. The company grew its income by 17.8% from KES 34.5 billion the same period last year to KES 40.6 billion in which voice calls contributed 77.6%. Revenue from voice increased by 6.2% from KES 29.7 billion to KES 31.5 billion.
Safaricom Limited planned KES 12 billion bond should launch in two weeks. Kenyan government and corporate debt is attracting a lot of local and foreign investor interest, Joseph said, due to attractive yields and the introduction of electronic trading on the bond market.
ZTE Corp. and Safaricom Limited jointly launched the first solar-powered mobile phone in Kenya. The handset, called the Simu ya Solar, is manufactured from recycled materials and has a built-in solar panel that charges the phone using the sun's rays. The launch of the handset will help Safaricom meet the needs of rural residents who have no direct access to electricity and have had to pay for charging services. The price of the handset will be about $39.
