Israel's Bezeq Tel third quarter profit slips, headed for big loss in 2019
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - Bezeq Israel Telecom (TA:BEZQ) reported a slightly bigger than expected decline in quarterly profit, and reiterated it was on track for a large 2019 loss after two major write-downs in its business units.
Israel's largest telecoms group, which is the process of a change in ownership, said on Monday it earned 191 million shekels ($55 million) in the third quarter, compared with 234 million a year earlier. Bezeq attributed the decline mainly to higher financing expenses.
Revenue slipped 2.3 percent to 2.25 billion shekels.
Bezeq was forecast in a Reuters poll of analysts to post net profit of 198 million shekels on revenue of 2.23 billion.
The company maintained its 2019 forecast of a net loss of 1.1 billion shekels.
