LONDON--Dutch cable operator Ziggo NV (ZIGGO.AE) reported a rise
in profit and revenue for the third quarter as it won more
subscribers and reaffirmed its financial guidance for the full
year.
The company Thursday said earnings before interest,
depreciation, tax and amortization for the quarter ended rose 1.9%
from the same period a year earlier to 224.6 million euros ($288.3
million) on revenue of EUR402.6 million, which was up 2.9%.
Ziggo, which has agreed to be acquired by U.S. cable group
Liberty Global PLC (LBTYA) for EUR10 billion, said it will continue
to operate as an independent company until the acquisition is done.
The deal is expected to be completed later this year.
