(MENAFN) Bahrain Telecommunications Co. (Batelco) has reported a 22 percent decline in half-yearly earnings, due to one-off expenses related to acquisitions and related financing, Reuters reported.
The company said it made USD71.6 million net profit during the first half, down from USD91.8 million for the same period last year.
In April, Batelco completed a USD570 million purchase of Cable & Wireless Communications’ Monaco and Islands Division.
