By

Telus (T.TO) said Friday that second-quarter adjusted earnings fell 27% to C$0.16 per share, from C$0.22 per share. The company also slashed its dividend by 55%.

Analysts polled by FactSet had expected earnings of C$0.20 per share.

The telecoms company said operating revenue for the quarter ended June 30, declined 3% to C$4.93 billion, and also missed analysts expectation of C$5.05 billion.

Telus declared a quarterly dividend of C$0.1875 per share, which it described as a "reset" of 55% to an annualized C$0.75 per share, from the previous C$1.6736 per share. The cut is expected to generate C$2.7 billion in cumulative cash savings through 2028, which will be used to pay down debt. The dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) discount will be terminated from Oct. 1, a statement said.

Telus is in talks with "interested" parties regarding its Telus Health-related non-core assets. It is also seeking to sell its non-core real estate assets.
