According to the figures released last night by Zon, it is also known that the company managed to increase its average monthly revenue per customer by 7.6 percent compared to the first three months of 2009, to 35.2 euros.

In broadband services, the company managed to attract 24.7 thousand customers in the period and in fixed-line services 62 thousand new customers in the period under analysis.
Zon ended the first three months of the year with profits falling 52.3 percent to 9.3 million euros. However, the company’s results in the period were above expectations and the sharp drop in profits is explained by the capital gains achieved in the same period last year, when it included 16.9 million euros with the sale of 40 percent of Lisbon TV. Adjusting for this effect, Zon’s earnings advanced between January and March 2010 by 28.8 percent.
