Ann: Telstra Half Year Results Market Release, page-25

ddxz,thks for post,i noticed debt increased also etc some other figures.
Just a couple of observations re tls's impossible to understand financials.
I thought in q&A cfo said some capex had been brought forward that would clearly add to debt.She said tls will achieve free cash flow as its cyclical ie main contribution 2h.(i watched a little q&a).
Maybe a couple of days ago i read tls had some iphone over stock issues and wanted to send some back?.
Property plant and equipment up approx $400m.?,will be interesting if any penn comments on how $2b asset sale is going.
nbn lease payments still only approx less than $400m by memory.
So many more figures,but my 2 cents ,if penn is so confident about future he should have at least paid out 9 or 9.5 cent div to beat market expectations and still be within tls's payout ratio.
As posted it would confirm his confidence in tls's financial future and imo div would be within a bee's dick of providing sp support of approx $4 going forward.
