For the quarter, the company reported total revenue of EUR 322.9 million against EUR 308.7 million a year ago period. For the nine months, the company reported total revenue of EUR 956.5 million against EUR 911.2 million a year ago period. The full year 2012-2013 reported revenue growth objective of 5 to 6% is confirmed. It is expected to come in at the lower end of the range. Notwithstanding the ongoing investment in the overall commercial activity, the Group refines its EBITDA margin objective for the current year, which is now expected at around 77.5%, from around 77% earlier. For the medium-term, the Group confirms positive trends for its leading business of video, which will benefit from new satellites to be launched by end 2015. However, the current challenges in Data services and Multi-usage could have an impact on the Group's revenue prospects. This impact would however be limited, at around one percentage point of revenue growth.
