BT Group PLC: Wholesale-Only Overhang Equity Research Telecommunications | European Telecom Services BT Group PLC 3 May 2018 Stock Rating EQUAL WEIGHT Wholesale-Only overhang from Overweight Industry View POSITIVE In a separate report published today, The Rise of Wholesale Only, we analyse the Unchanged impact Open Fiber is having in Italy and the extent to which it can be replicated Price Target GBp 280 elsewhere. Italy appears an ideal market for fostering alternative infrastructure lowered -20% from GBp 350 build (and increased retail competition). We note actual competitor builds to date in the UK have been few and far between, even if the narrative has been consistently Price (01-May-2018) GBp 245 noisy. However, we do see BT as potentially vulnerable, especially given the Potential Upside/Downside +14.3% increased focus of numerous infrastructure funds and regulatory direction. Tickers BT/A LN / BT.L Resolution of this overhang for BT looks unlikely, in our view. Reflecting this, we lower our medium-term forecasts, cut our PT to 280p and move BT to Equal Weight. Market Cap (GBP mn) 24591 Shares Outstanding (mn) 9921.90 Wholesale-only is not new – Why worry now? We have become accustomed to a Free Float (%) 84.31 spate of alternative FTTH build announcements in recent months from numerous 52 Wk Avg Daily Volume (mn) 22.4 players. In reality, FTTH build has been limited. However, having met recently with 52 Wk Avg Daily Value (GBP mn) 60.93 Open Fiber in Italy, we see an opportunity to make double-digit IRRs for alternative Dividend Yield (%) 6.3 build in markets like Italy/the UK/Germany. As in Italy, we believe key stakeholders in Return on Equity TTM (%) 22.10 the UK (broadband service providers, mobile network operators and Current BVPS (GBp) 82.34 Source: Thomson Reuters government/regulator) are keen to see the model succeed, increasing the likelihood of greater infrastructure competition for BT. For BT the problem of incumbency (material Price Performance Exchange-LSE copper FCF annuity value) makes it hard to find the right wholesale price, and/or 52 Week range GBP 3.18-2.16 accelerate FTTH build, as we discussed in UK Fibre - playing the long game (28 February 2018). Valuation appears undemanding (PT to 280p, from 350p), even on lower forecasts. Our FY19 estimates are barely impacted, but FY20e EBITDA falls 1.6%, EPS by 4%. We estimate BT trades on 5.7x March 2019E EV/EBITDA, 11.0x EV/OpFCF, 8.4% equity FCF yield and offers a 7.2% dividend yield (sector on 6.2x, 12.8x, 6.6% and 5%, respectively). Our equity and EV multiples adjust for BT’s pension deficit.

Our key takeaways are as follows: Rollout on track – set to accelerate. After initial delays on organic rollout, the company appears to be fully on track to deliver an acceleration of FTTH roll-out in the next three years; we estimate it will pass c.2.5m homes per year and reach close to 10m homes by YE2020. Open Fiber will rely on established third-party service providers (local broadband and mobile operators) to drive the business case. There is no retail offering. Open Fiber has secured wholesale deals with Vodafone and Wind Tre and we see a clear path to monetize these investments, as service providers are keen to migrate off the incumbent. Financing secured; double-digit IRR potential. On 13th April 2018 Open Fiber indicated that it had secured financing for its investment plan, removing one source of uncertainty about the project.

  • Speech Karl-Gerhard Eick
    Not to be released until: February 27, 2009, 10:00 a.m. / Start statement René Obermann – Check against delivery – Statement delivered at the press conference on Deutsche Telekom’s FY results 2008 February 27, 2009 in Bonn Dr. Karl-Gerhard Eick Member of the Board of Management Finance Deputy CEO Deutsche Telekom AG Thank you, René! I am very pleased with our full-year financial results. We achieved a turn- around in adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, and adjusted net income. Ad- justed EBITDA grew by 0.7 percent to almost EUR 19.5 billion, driven by Mobile and an improved trend in domestic Broadband/Fixed Network, which came in slightly better than the original guidance range. Free cash flow im- proved to EUR 7 billion, supported by working capital, lower restructuring payments, and lower net interest payments, more than offsetting higher in- come tax payments and higher cash capex. Adjusted net income improved by 14 percent to EUR 3.4 billion due, in particular, to lower D&A. Net debt increased only modestly by EUR 0.9 billion to EUR 38.2 billion, despite EUR 4.4 billion spent on acquisitions (net of divestments), namely SunCom and OTE, and despite cash capex of EUR 8.7 billion. This is a reflection of our very strong cash flow generation. - 2 - Let me remind you that we were faced with a significant currency headwind last year. Assuming constant exchange rates revenues would have been EUR 1.3 billion higher. Similarly, adjusted EBITDA would have been EUR 0.3 billion higher. Adjusted for these currency effects and changes in the scope of consolidation, organic revenues were flat last year, while or- ganic adjusted EBITDA grew by 0.8 percent.

    EUROPE Trends: Liberalisation is moving ahead again in Europe with a French government decision to grant access right to private networks and further privatisation steps in Italy, Portugal and Sp ain. On the market side, important new ventures are in the making, whether trans-European or trans-Atlantic, both in the telecoms (CGE-RWE) and audiovisual markets (Canal Plus UFA-Solomon, RAI-France Télévision and RAI-BBC). Meanwhile, a multimedia alliance between Bell Atlantic and STET is on the eve of collapsing because of growing alliance incompatibilities between the two partners. LEGISLATION AND POLICY The European Commission has warned Global European Network (GEN), a joint venture of nine European telecoms operators specialising in data transmission, that its approval of the venture will depend on whether it charges clients fair prices. The Commission is concerned that GEN could charge independent data suppliers five to ten times more than the nine operators that have a share in it. Hence, GEN, who comprises BT and the Belgian, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swiss national telecoms operators, could abuse its dominant position to prevent competitors from entering the lucrative European data transmission market. The French national telecoms operator France Télécom has called on the new French right-wing government to quickly carry out a partial privatisation of its capital in order to seal its alliance with the German national telecoms operator Deutsche Telekom. The two partners intend to swap 20% of their capital. The French government has authorised the French national railway company SNCF to lease transmission capacity on its private network to mobile phone operators.
