PPF Telecom Group companies are split into two segments: end-user services and infrastructure. PPF pioneered structural separation of commercial services, operating under O2 and Telenor brands (Yettel as of March 2022), from infrastructure owners and operators, consolidated in CETIN Group.

CETIN’s subsidiaries in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia offer wholesale mobile and fixed network infrastructure services to all telecommunications companies in the market on equal terms. The commercial arm of the group provides services to end users in the consumer, corporate and public segments, under O2 and Yettel brands. Their proposition comprises mobile voice, data and text messaging, fixed broadband, multi-platform internet television, fixed voice lines and corporate data networks.

In 2021, PPF Telecom Group reported solid revenue growth, achieved with contributions from all its brands and companies. The customer base is expanding and improving in all of the group’s countries, in large part due to a long-term strategy structured around the operation of top-grade telecommunications networks and the delivery of a superior customer experience. The group’s companies report generate predictable cash flows resilient to business cycle changes and adverse global influences, which in 2021 included the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic repercussions.

PPF Telecom Group operated stateof-the-art 5G mobile networks in most markets by the end of 2021. The roll-out of 5G networks is accelerated by the sharing of expertise and resources within CETIN Group’s infrastructure division. In the years ahead, 5G services will be driving the next wave of innovation and growth.
