Operating performance remained strong in Q3 2016 and on a constant currency basis, we have seen double-digit growth in recurring revenue this year. We continue to be pleased with our progress.” “Our capital expenditure was lower in Q3 2016 following the completion of network expansion projects to Marseille and Stockholm in Q2 2016. Further network investment projects are underway and are aligned with our customers’ bandwidth demands. We remain confident about the opportunities these bring us for further growth.”
