Ltd. primarily reflect the company's strong leadership position in the South African fixed-line telecoms market, good cash flow generation, and Standard&Poor's Ratings Services' expectation that the group will maintain a conservative financial profile after its exit from the Vodacom joint venture. The ratings are constrained, however, by a lack of visibility on the future business performance of the company's own mobile business, increasing competitive and regulatory pressures, and exposure to the challenges of operating in South Africa. As of Sept. 30, 2008, Telkom reported gross consolidated financial debt of about South African rand (ZAR) 19.3 billion, of which ZAR1.7 billion was foreign debt.
