  • Regional Telecoms
    Global Equity Research Sector Flash Fixed-line telecoms Russia 28 August 2008 Regional telecoms TPs cut 7%-37% on tighter margins ● The regional telecoms’ non-consolidated RAS EBITDA margins lost 1pp-4pp y-o-y in 1H08 due to outpacing cost growth. Operating expenses (less depreciation) rose 8%-15% y-o-y in rubles (compared to top-line growth of 4%-8%), mainly driven by higher staff costs, interconnect payments and SG&A. As a result, four of the seven incumbents saw EBITDA decline 2%-7% y-o-y in rubles. ● We expect the underlying salary and interconnect cost increases to be reflected in the incumbents’ 1H08 IFRS results (due in September) despite the accounting differences. We reduce our 2008F EBITDA estimates for all the regional telecoms except Dalsvyaz by 5%- 15%, and now expect EBITDA margins of 28%-35% vs. our previous estimate of 32%-36%. ● We raise our projections for capex on acquisitions this year to reflect the companies’ spending on minority stakes in Hybrid Print Systems. We increase our 2008F capex/sales ratio for Centertelecom from 19% to 29%, as the company raised its 2008F capex guidance. ● We cut our 12-month TPs by 7%-37% due to lower operational forecasts and higher capex projections. We downgrade Centertelecom from Buy to Hold, following a 37% decrease in its 12-month TP to $0.49. We upgrade Southern Telecom from Sell to Hold due to the stock’s recent weakness, and maintain our Buy ratings for North-West Telecom, VolgaTelecom, Uralsvyazinform, Sibirtelecom and Dalsvyaz. ● Our top picks are Dalsvyaz and VolgaTelecom, given their upsides of 116% and 83%, respectively, to our new target prices and the fact that their 2008F EV/EBITDA multiples are below 3X.
