  • The Australian retail environment continues to be challenged by aggressive competition driven particularly by the largest national wireless carrier. AMT results have been impacted by the loss of the Virgin Mobile Australia brand in its Allphones retail stores in June 2013, but this loss has been mitigated by the resurgence of the Vodafone brand and its new 4G network, along with successful product launches of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. AMT continues to operate 45 Virgin Mobile corporate retail stores through its Retail Management Services business. The soft-launch of the Allphones-only MySaver brand, a Mobile Virtual Network Operator, on the Telstra network, contributed to 2nd quarter sales and allowed AMT to address untapped customers. AMT has partnered with the three largest carriers Optus, Telstra, and Vodafone on its MySaver initiative, with the launch of plans on the Optus and Vodafone networks expected in the 3rd quarter of 2013. The MySaver brand will allow customers to participate at a lower price point than that currently available from the larger national carriers; however, given its early stage, the initiative will take some time to mature.  Further, in partnership with Tao Corporation of the Philippines, AMT opened its first 9 mobile phone stores in Manila in the 2nd quarter of 2013 and is targeting to operate approximately 50 stores by year-end.
