OPEX growth is much lower than revenue growth (CAGR 90%) thanks to a lean organization and strict control of expenses
Awasr invested heavily on systems and digitalization up to 2019 (SAP, 0touch provisioning, robust network not-congested allowing to offer fastest
connectivity than competition, mobile app, bill payment machine etc…)
2019 was peak of CAPEX and moving forward light CAPEX model will be applied
In 2020, all non-core projects have been postponed and prioritized

Awasr is market leader in the fixed broadband market with 40% market share
Revenue growth has been done with a strict control of Opex and Capex and we have overperformed the original Business Case on these 2
categories (by excluding SAP & art.44 security requirement)
Breakeven EBITDA reached in 2020 despite COVID19 situation and extra cost not budgeted (IP transit, ONT installation cost)

2020 Actual vs Budget Experience Better
OMR 000’s
Total Revenue 30% below target (OMR 7,351k)
Residential revenue 18% below target impacted by COVID19
Business revenue 67% below target
Total COGS are only lower than budget by 3% (253k). Revenue dropped by 30% vs budget
then we should have a higher drop in COGS. However due to COVID 19 we incurred
additional COGS than budget in:
a) ONT installation (200k)
b) IP Transit (650k)
Total Opex is lower than budget by 19% (1,975k) thanks to an extensive cost reduction
performed across all departments
Lower amount of depreciation than budget as 2020 CAPEX has been reduced & we changed
our accounting policy to depreciate assets over longer useful life.
Saving in other cost on royalties (OMR 515k link to drop in revenue) and income tax
In November 2020 we have presented to the Board 2021 budget, in January 2021, During 2020 we have extremely streamlined the costs.
Chairman requested an additional saving of 10% in Opex and Capex In 2021 some Opex and Capex will increase vs 2020 due to law
requirements, increase in revenue or expansion outside Muscat
PBT (2,626) 647 1,675 It would be extremely challenging to operate in 2021 with 10% reduction
in OPEX
CAPEX 1,841 2,550 2,295
We have extremely optimized the cost structure and it would be extremely challenging to operate 2021 with lower level of Opex than 2020 despite
unavoidable expenses.
We must also focus on loan restructuration/factoring which would result on enhancing FCF up to 3.3M OMR of 2021 loan repayment
