Looking ahead the company expects to generate EBITDA of between $480 million to $483 million over the full 2015 financial year.
The results come just week after iiNet Limited’s
(ASX:IIN) board backed a takeover offer from TPG Telecom which has since run into some opposition.
A fully franked interim dividend of 5.5 cents per share has been declared.
