For the financial year ending December 31, 2025, the operator posted revenues exceeding the Rs 4 billion mark for the first time, compared with Rs 3.8 billion the previous year &#8211; an increase driven by an expanding customer base and accelerated adoption of its mobile, residential, enterprise and fintech services. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Financial indicators are green across the board. EBITDA climbed 15.3% to Rs 2 billion, while service revenues rose 8.9% to Rs 3.7 billion. Underlying profit before tax jumped by 27.4% to Rs 796 million &#8211; a strong signal of rigorous and efficient management.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the balance sheet, net debt was significantly reduced to Rs 2.6 billion. Shareholders&#8217; equity stood at Rs 1.30 billion. As a sign of confidence, the company paid out Rs 1.1 billion in dividends over the year, including an exceptional portion.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Behind these figures lies a concrete digital transformation: 5G coverage reaching 90% of the population, deployment of a locally hosted sovereign cloud platform, launch of a GPU service &#8211; a first in Mauritius &#8211; and establishment of a security operations center (SOC) in partnership with an international cybersecurity specialist. In Rodrigues, Eutelsat OneWeb satellite connectivity reduces dependence on undersea cables. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The <i>blink<\/i> fintech platform also continues to gain ground with merchants and consumers, strengthening Emtel&#8217;s digital payments ecosystem. Looking ahead, the operator will continue to focus on customer service excellence, digital platform expansion and operational optimization. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emtel confirms its position as Mauritius&#8217;s leading telecommunications operator.
