The company projects that its consolidated EBITDA will total 216.0 million euro next year, while investments are planned in the amount of 211.9 million euro, Telekom Slovenije said in a Ljubljana bourse filing late on Monday.

"In order to dynamically adapt to users, the company needs to invest in the expansion and upgrade of technologies, accelerate digitalization, continue optimizing processes and empower employees," the telco said.

The company noted that it plans to maintain its share of the mobile services market and achieve growth in the number of fixed broadband and TV connections through a portfolio of comprehensive services for smart living, and through the development of a unique experience tailored to the user.

Telekom Slovenije will implement activities that will allow the group to effectively manage liquidity and ensure a high level of financial security, the statement noted, adding that it will ensure the optimal level of debt over the long term, where the value of an individual company is highest.
