For the quarter ended 30 September 2010, adjusted EBITDA was £1.5bn, a marginal increase of 3%, compared to £1.4bn for the same quarter a year ago.

The company posted an adjusted operating profit of £715m, up 9% compared to £656m in the same period last year.

The revenues from BT global services, retail and wholesale segments decreased by 2%, 4% and 5% to £2bn, £1.9bn and £1.1bn, respectively.
