Swisscom has, for many years now, continued to perform well in a challenging market environment. Our outlook explains how we expect the market and our business to develop over the current year.
Net revenue

For 2020, Swisscom is forecasting a declining net revenue of around CHF 11.0 billion year-on-year. Swisscom excluding Fastweb is expecting lower revenue on account of high competition and price pressure as well as the decline in fixed-line telephony. As a result of Covid-19, revenue is also expected to be slightly lower due to the smaller roaming volume. Slight revenue growth is expected for Fastweb in 2020.
Swisscom expects EBITDA to remain stable at around CHF 4.3 bn in 2020. As in previous years, Swisscom is responding to the tough competition in Switzerland by further cutting its cost base by CHF 100 million. In contrast, the EBITDA of Fastweb is expected to increase on a like-for-like basis.

Swisscom anticipates capital expenditure of around CHF 2.3 bn in 2020. At around one fifth of sales, it will remain stable at a high level. Swisscom is investing around two-thirds of this amount in Switzerland in the expansion of the mobile network with 5G and fibre-optic coverage.
