COLT TELECOM GROUP PLC - QUARTERLY
SEGMENTAL INFORMATION FOR 2004
The results of COLT Telecom Group plc (COLT) for the first quarter of 2005 were
reported under IFRS. In that announcement, for comparative purposes, COLT
restated its segmental information for the quarters ended 31 March and 31
December 2004 and for the year ended 31 December 2004 to conform to IFRS and to
reflect the new COLT geographic organisation. COLT is today providing the
equivalent restatement for the quarters ended 30 June and 30 September 2004.
This information is published solely to assist shareholders and commentators to
prepare for the publication of COLT's remaining 2005 quarterly results and will
not be expanded or commented on until the appropriate results are published.
Segmental information
The Group operates in a single business segment, telecommunications, and in the
geographical areas shown below. The reported segments have been changed from
those previously reported as a result of the reorganisation which COLT announced
in late 2004. The new segments are Germany, UK, France and Strategic Markets.
Strategic Markets comprises Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Italy, The
Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Switched turnover comprises services that involve the transmission of voice,
data or video through a switching centre. Non-switched turnover includes managed
and non-managed network services, and bandwidth services.
For the three months ended 31 March 2004, 30 June 2004, 30 September 2004 and 31
December 2004 and twelve months ended 31 December 2004, turnover and result by
