LONDON, June 11 (Reuters) - British broadband company
TalkTalk reported a 9.7% rise in full-year core
earnings to 260 million pounds ($329 million), driven by growth
in its fibre customer base, and said it was in robust financial
position, allowing it to maintain its dividend.
It said that while uncertainties of COVID-19 meant it
would not be providing formal guidance, based on current trends
it expected to deliver stable headline core earnings year on
year, after assuming about a 15 million pound cost due to the
impact of the pandemic.
