Broadband boosts Carphone Christmas profits

Carphone Warehouse enjoyed a profitable third quarter, with TalkTalk connecting 118,000 broadband customers, taking its total base to 2.6 million, and raking in £349 million for the company, despite defection from the first generation of 18-monthers.

Even so, Carphone said that there was no increase in levels of churn in the last months of 2007; Charles Dunstone proudly announced that the company had had a “good third quarter”.

Carphone Chief Financial Officer Roger Taylor admitted that high street carriage of Apple’s shiny white hope had something to do with the 13% profit increase, saying ”Our strength in our gross profit in December was undoubtedly assisted by increased footfall as a result of the iPhone.” Like stablemates O2, Taylor kept schtum about actual iPhone sales figures.
