OSLO, July 16 (Reuters) - Norway's Telenor said on Thursday it expects a single-digit decline in its subscription and traffic revenues this year due to the impact from the pandemic even as the telecoms operator posted a higher-than-expected quarterly profit.

Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for April-June rose 19% on-year to 14.33 billion Norwegian crowns ($1.54 billion), while analysts in a Refinitiv poll on average had expected 13.77 billion crowns.
