Numericable’s advanced set-top La Box Fibre can now be found in 35% of the French operator’s homes.
Combined with demand for superfast broadband, La Box Fibre helped second quarter revenues grow by 3.2% on 2013 to €336.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA of €156.7 million was up 1.8%.
The customer base increased by 59,000 to 1.709 million.
New features introduced ahead of the World Cup included Restart, Picture-in-Picture and Multiscreen.
Eric Denoyer, chairman and chief executive officer of Numericable Group said: “By providing our customers with La Box Fibre by Numericable and an access to a whole range of innovative and content-rich services, Numericable Group continues down its growth path on the French wireline market and delivers revenue growth in a competitive market environment.”
He added that subject to approval from the French competition authorities, the combination of SFR and La Box Fibre, would help open a new chapter in the operator’s growth.
