María Björk Einarsdóttir, CEO:

“The results for the third quarter were overall good and the results clearly show the resilience and strength of the company. We saw healthy revenue growth in the main telecommunications services as well as TV services, where the number of subscribers has continued to increase. Also, our investments in advertising sector have met the expectations that were made at the time of the purchase and have had a significant positive effect on the share of advertising revenue in the company's operations.

In September, changes were made to the company's organization chart, where one support division was closed, and two new divisions were created. The goals of the changes are, on the one hand, to further strengthen sales and marketing of the company's products, and on the other hand, to increase the focus on product and business development. Considerable costs followed these changes, and they were added to the accrued costs due to the change of CEO, which was also charged in the quarter.

As a result of the changed focus in operations, we began to review the company's strategy, and these plans will be presented in more detail in the coming months. It is clear that the company intends to continue moving forward, and we will focus on broadening the company's revenue base by developing and adding to our product offering new digital services and solutions that fit well with our customers' needs."
