The group said it has revised down its outlook given the general downturn in the telecommunications sector.
PowerTel has already taken steps to reduce costs in areas that won't impact on customer service, following a softening in demand from corporate customers who are deferring decisions to change or upgrade telecommunications facilities, according to CEO Stephen Butler.
"Forecast capital expenditure will also be reduced in line with customer demand," Butler said.
Despite these market conditions the telcoms provider “is in a strong financial and strategic market position and is well placed to capture growth and build on its customer base when market conditions improve,” he added.
