Deutsche Telekom nudged up its full-year guidance on Thursday as the U.S. dollar's appreciation helped buoy third-quarter profit and its T-Mobile US (NASDAQ:TMUS) business added customers.
"We are once again proving to be an anchor of stability in difficult times," said Tim Hoettges, chairman of Deutsche Telekom (OTC:DTEGY)'s management board.
That puts us in a position to raise not only our guidance - for the third time this year - but also our dividend," he added.
In organic terms, Telekom expected full-year adjusted EBITDA AL to come in at more than 37.0 billion euros, up from previous guidance of around 37.0 billion.
T-Mobile US recorded 1.6 million new postpaid customers in the third quarter, including 854,000 phone customers.
