TeamTalk made a net profit of $1.7 million, in the six months ended Dec. 31, compared to $5.4 million, a year earlier. TeamTalk sales slipped 0.8 percent to $16.7 million from a year earlier.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation were $5.1 million, including a $247,000 contribution from Farmside. TeamTalk now expects annual EBITDA to fall short of last year's $8 million, which it previously expected to match.
TeamTalk, which bought the rural telecommunications provider Farmside last year, has cut its annual earnings guidance, blaming the cut on the government-imposed levy to pay for servicing unprofitable customers in remote areas.
TeamTalk now expects to fork out about $500,000 a year to cover the levy.
TeamTalk is upbeat about the second half of the year, and still plans to pay annual dividends of 20 cents per share. The board declared an interim dividend of 10 cents, with a record date of April 19, payable on April 27.
