Net income excluding minority interest on underlying basis grew 27.1% to KES 36.7Bn.

On a reported basis, net income excluding minority interest contracted by 17.7% to KES 28.1 billion, weighed down by the impact of Ethiopia’s ongoing foreign exchange regime reforms and hyper inflationary accounting.

To mitigate against the short-term impact of the ongoing foreign exchange regime reforms, Safaricom Ethiopia has taken several steps including renegotiating foreign currency denominated contracts, onboarding local suppliers for certain products and services and reducing the expatriate’s base.
