In the first quarter of this year, Claro Perua company that is part of the group Mobile America, grew 51.2% in its revenues compared to the same period in 2022, totaling S/2,400 million.

“We are offering attractive postpaid plans as we have seen a trend of our customers wanting to migrate from prepaid to postpaid; For this reason, our postpaid revenues increased 9.7%, while prepaid revenues decreased 4.2%,” said Carlos Solano, CFO of Claro Peru, citing a press release.
Likewise, revenues from the fixed platform increased 2.8%, with growth of 11% in pay TV revenues, 5.7% in revenues from corporate networks and 3.9% in broadband revenues. In the fixed segment, Claro Peru added 5,000 pay TV clients and 3,000 broadband accesses.

This resulted in an adjusted EBITDA of S/578 million, 12.9% more than the previous year, which shows an improvement in the equipment margin and cost control in general.
