PARIS (AFX) - SES Global will continue share buy backs in the remainder of the year depending on cash flow and on research and development costs, Marc Rigolle, the satellite operator's chief financial officer, said in a conference call on first half results. SES Global to continue share buybacks depending on cash flow and R&D 08.07.2006, 07:27 AM SES has authority from shareholders to buy up another 5 pct of shares if it wishes after repurchasing shares worth 213.3 mln eur up to the end of July, equivalent to 3 pct of the total, he said. Romain Bausch, the CEO, said the company currently has 'nothing concrete on the road map' for acquisitions, though he does not rule them out if suitable opportunities crop up. He is 'confident of strong growth' from its existing operations and from recent acquisitions New Skies Satellites and ND Satcom. The CEO expects 20 pct of German digital satellite television users to have signed up for SES Astra's new Doplhin platform by the time free-to-air digital services are switched off in 2008. The figure is expected to rise to 80-90 pct by the time analogue television is switched off in Germany, scheduled for 2010-2012, he said. Rausch defended a plan to charge German digital TV subscribers 3-3.50 eur per month for access to Dolphin, saying it will be a technical fee, similar to the 12-20 eur subscription charged by German pay-TV companies. Doplhin is an interim name for the project and the final brand name will be different, he added. equitynext@afxnews.com
