Below are extracts from the Chairman’s letter and financial highlights.

Chairman’s letter to shareholders

Our company TNM is a capital intensive company and so investment (and by definition innovation) is mandatory in order to grow and provide our shareholders with a return. Furthermore, without investment, Malawi’s telecommunications industry cannot grow or innovate.

Benjamin Graham (in the opinion of many, the Father of Investing) points out a cruel irony when investing; we invest in the present, but we invest for the future. Unfortunately the future is always uncertain. Inflation and interest rates are unpredictable, economic recessions come and go at random and other economic fundamentals often turn out to be the opposite of what investors expect.

As a consequence of Mr Graham’s irony, your Board and management are required to make adjustments to our strategy as the future becomes the present.

  • 87% growth in EBITDA to MK10.1bn
