Safaricom's full-year earnings exceed guidance

Reuters09-05-2025
NAIROBI, May 9 (Reuters) - Kenyan telecoms firm Safaricom (SCOM.NR), opens new tab on Friday reported full-year earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 104.1 billion Kenyan shillings ($807 million), higher than its guidance.
In November the company guided that group EBIT would be between 94 billion and 100 billion Kenyan shillings.
Safaricom is partly owned by South Africa's Vodacom (VODJ.J), opens new tab and Britain's Vodafone (VOD.L), opens new tab.
It expanded into Ethiopia in 2022, betting that Africa's second most populous nation would power future growth. But despite strong customer growth, Safaricom has had a bumpy ride so far in Ethiopia due to security, inflation and currency challenges.

Ditch your old broadband provider as Sky launches 'lowest prices ever'

Sky has dropped the price of its broadband only packages across the board For those that might be nearing the end of their broadband contract or have already finished their contracts, it might be cheaper and more cost effective to look elsewhere. And one provider shoppers might want to look at is Sky as it has lowered its broadband price s across the board. It comes as it continues to compete with other providers which have become far cheaper. The top pick we would look at is the £30 a month 500mb broadband package that is perfect for big families who are always streaming or downloading games. There's no upfront fees with the package and it comes with a super-speedy router so it can reach across the home. 'Brilliant Shark fan that's saved me this summer has £50 off as UK heatwave arrives' 63p-a-day supplement for menopausal women that helps them 'feel like their old selves' It has also cut the price of its 300 MB broadband package to £26 a month. However, we would suggest going for the 500 MB package as it provides faster speeds. One thing to consider is that these are 24-month contracts, so make sure internet dealhunters are happy to lock in. Another thing to note is that it's normally more cost-effective to get a TV and broadband deal from Sky so for those in the market for a new TV deal as well, it's worth exploring. Sky is one of the more available broadband providers around the country; however, shoppers should look elsewhere if they want a good deal. For those based in London, we highly suggest checking out Community Fibre, which has very cheap broadband packages and offering free broadband for six months. Grab Sky's broadband deals as it reaches 'lowest prices ever' £35 a month £30 a month Sky GET DEAL Product Description PlusNet is also offering shoppers a free £100 reward card with its broadband packages, with prices starting from £24.99 a month. There's also Vodafone, which has competitive broadband deals for most people around the country, and Vodafone will pay up to £100 to cover cancellation fees. There have been great reviews about Sky, especially when it comes to the broadband. One reviewer said: "Internet is so much faster but I am seriously so chuffed with the Sky Rewards thing, we've had free tickets to Legoland and we won tickets to see Slayer! I couldn't believe it, very very pleased." Another reviewer said: "I have been with Sky over 11 years. They have always treated me like a friend, giving me amazing deals on my broadband and TV. Always understanding if I can't afford to make a payment one month, they work something out. would highly recommend." However, some customers aren't happy, especially with customer service. One reviewer said: "After being a customer for 9 years, I have to say the quality of broadband and TV service is good, very reliable even on fibre when there are many devices connected. "The only bad thing is that customer service takes too long and is not very helpful. But overall, they are a good company; stay loyal, and they give lots of deals."

Scottie Scheffler's eyewatering 2025 earnings revealed as he is handed ANOTHER multi-million dollar bonus

The best golfer on planet Earth continues to line his pockets, as Scottie Scheffler 's insane 2025 earnings have been revealed at $43.36million after last weekend's FedEx St. Jude Championship. Scheffler's total income has skyrocketed again after earning a $5million bonus for a first-place finish in the FedEx Cup standings. The 29-year-old has secured the multi-million bonus despite one FedEx playoff event remaining due to his insurmountable lead in points. Scheffler leads second-place Rory McIlroy by 2,012, with a maximum of 2,000 points available from winning this weekend's BMW Championship. Without knowing his finish at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland, which will likely pocket Scheffler more dough, his annual total from tournament prize money is $20.36million. Winning the BMW Championship would earn him an additional $3million. Scheffler's bonus money will stand at $23million for 2025 heading into The Tour Championship no matter how this weekend goes. The Tour Championship itself has a $40million purse, with the victor at East Lake Golf Club in Georgia winning $10million. Should Scheffler win in the Atlanta, his on-course winnings would vault beyond $30million for the year. Should Scheffler win at both The Tour Championship and the BMW Championship, his total earnings for the season would be $56.96million. That eyewatering total still would not overtake his astronomical winnings from 2024, where he took home $62.2million. Also out of reach for Scheffler is his personal record for individual tournaments won in a season, having claimed seven wins in 2024, while standing at four this year. That still impressive total of victories for the world's No 1 has given everyone no signs of him slowing down.
