Vienna, 14 November 2013: Today the Telekom Austria Group (VSE: TKA,
OTC US: TKAGY) announces its results for the first nine months and
the third quarter 2013, ending 30 September 2013.

Highlights for the First Nine Months 2013

> Group revenues down 2.6% year-on-year as growth in Belarus and in
the Additional Markets segments partly mitigates decline in Austria,
Bulgaria and Croatia

> Gross cost savings of EUR 112.9 mn cannot offset an increase in
operating expenses in Austria and the Additional markets segment

> Lower revenues and higher costs for acquisition and retention
stemming from the high-value customer segment lead to a Group EBITDA
comparable decline of 9.8%

> While overall revenues still decline by 3.6% in Austria, the
high-value focus and convergence strategy continue to yield
encouraging results

> International businesses see revenues fall by 2.4% due to
challenging macro-economic trends and regulatory burdens

> FY 2013 Group guidance unchanged: Revenues of approx. EUR 4.1 bn,
CAPEX* of EUR 650 - 700 mn and an intended dividend of EUR 0.05/share
