Hubbing: international trading business, done in foreign currencies, negatively impacted by recently strengthened CHF
Mobile HW: revenues dependent on handset innovations and launches
Postpaid Freedom hardware unwind: Freedom required a change in revenue recognition leading to immediate hardware upfront and subsequent lower mobile service revenue recognition
Prepaid: Decline mainly due to pre to postpaid migration (e.g. yallo postpaid)
Retail voice: Structural decline due to fixed to mobile substitution, migration to flat rates as part of fixed bundles, and OTT applications
Postpaid value mix & roaming: Higher liquidity and more attractive offers at the value end of the market and roaming price change with negative ARPU impacts
Postpaid subscription: Positive impact of increased customer base driven by investments in customer service, innovation, brand and network
Landline internet: Subscriber growth in internet and TV largely offset by negative ARPU impacts due to Home migration

30.0%
• Adj. Opex down 12% YoY driven by lower marketing spending, organizational streamlining and below 100% target achievement

Update on partial revision of telecommunication act
• Content up for discussion includes
• Regulation regarding access to operators’ in house cabling and ducts, roaming, spectrum liberalization, network neutrality, product unbundling, consumer protection, ex-ante/ex-officio elements
• Sunrise’s position concerning broadband access
• No ex-ante/ex-officio regulation required since current system is working well with ex-post …
• … but empower federal council to include optical fibre into the ex-post scope in case of market failure
• Such a light fibre regulation approach is in line with ComCom and ensures attractive access conditions long-term
• Expected time line
• Public consultation running from 11 December 2015 to 31 March 2016
• Next steps include government proposal and debate in 1st and 2nd chamber starting 2017
• Final implementation of law expected earliest 2018 or beyond
