1. What are the cornerstones of Swisscom's financial policy?
The cornerstones of Swisscom's financial policy are:

  • Maximum net debt of approximately two times EBITDA
  • Annual review of need for strategic flexibility (versus net debt limit of approx. two times EBITDA)
  • Funds not required for strategic flexibility can be returned to shareholders in addition to dividend payments based on 50% of operating free cash flow (OpFCF).

3. How is the payout policy structured?
In accordance with Swisscom's payout policy, up to half of the operating free cash flow (OpFCF) is paid out to shareholders in the subsequent year, with payment at least on a par with the previous year's dividend. Swisscom defines OpFCF as: EBITDA minus capital expenditure plus/minus changes in net working capital minus payouts to minority interests. Operating free cash flow in 2012 amounted to CHF 1882 million.
