E: [email protected] I T: +1 303 802 1000 I F: +1 303 802 1420 Evolving Systems and Orange Belgium - for the continued management, enhancement and expansion of the customer loyalty program, Orange Thank You – has been recognized by the prestigious Total Telecoms World Communications Awards as a step forward in digital engagement. Evolving was initially selected by Orange to create a brand-new loyalty concept, provide the technical foundation, and deliver a shared new vision to enhance customer loyalty. SITUATION In 2013, Orange Belgium acknowledged a need to revitalise its approach to customer loyalty. Its existing programs weren’t delivering the desired outcomes and additionally were providing little, if any, brand differentiation. Plus, the appearance of aggressive new competitors in the market as well as regulatory changes relating to the mobile industry meant that a new approach was urgently needed to protect and improve the company’s market position. Orange’s initial objectives for its new approach included creating a single program for all markets - pre and postpaid. While addressing churn remained a primary goal, the company realised that traditional loyalty approaches had been ineffective at doing this in the past. “We knew we could make industry-standard offers like increasing megabytes” says Benoit Berthelot, Customer Engagement Manager at Orange Belgium, “but we also knew such offers were easily imitated and did little to really build strong relationships with our subscribers”. Instead, Orange wanted to “rewire” the entire customer relationship and in the process create something more emotionally engaging.

  • European Fibre Networks V Building the Gigabit Society – Incumbent Deployments Accelerating
    4 September 2020 Equity Research Europe European Fibre Networks V Building the gigabit society – incumbent deployments accelerating Integrated Telecommunication Services | Theme Summary: In our fifth annual review of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) in Europe, we look at Research Analysts the current landscape for both public and private fibre network deployment. FTTH deployments are accelerating across Europe (and in our view will accelerate further) and we Jakob Bluestone, CFA expect fibre assets to re-rate over time. We introduce our FTTH market dashboard for 44 20 7883 0834 ranking future FTTH investment opportunities. [email protected] Fibre deployment accelerating: In Western Europe, nearly 40% of premises were passed Ben Lyons by FTTH at end-2019 with the pace of deployment accelerating +15% to 12.5m incremental 44 20 7888 8742 [email protected] premises passed. We expect a further +10% acceleration in homes passed in 2020 and FTTH coverage to reach 74% by 2024. In particular, incumbent deployments are picking up; Paul Sidney e.g. in the UK, France and the Netherlands, incumbents are accelerating build. 44 20 7888 6015 [email protected] Demand growing but still lagging: FTTH uptake is lagging deployment, with 15% of premises taking FTTH-broadband, but we expect this to rise to 33% by 2024. We believe Evgeny Kudinov in a post-COVID-19 world, demand for fixed connectivity generally – and FTTH in particular 44 20 7888 1791 – will be higher. We also expect FTTH to take share from cable, which has tended to lose [email protected] market share when faced with FTTH-based infrastructure competition.

  • Orange Polska: Buy (Upgraded) OPL PW; OPL.WA | Telco, Poland
    Friday, March 27, 2020 | update Orange Polska: buy (upgraded) OPL PW; OPL.WA | Telco, Poland Defensive Play, Demand For FTTH Might Increase Current Price PLN 5.88 We have revised our outlook on Orange Polska ("Orange") to Target Price PLN 6.90 account for the expected consequences thus far of the current MCap PLN 7.7bn epidemic – obviously, the situation is still developing and Free Float PLN 3.8bn circumstances are subject to change. The key risks we see as facing telecoms at the moment include increased network traffic, potential ADTV (3M) PLN 31.3m customer losses, weaker sales of electronics due to subdued demand, exacerbated by quarantine store closures, reduced use of Shareholders international roaming, and, crucially for Orange, diminished Orange S.A. 50.67% prospects for selling noncore real estate at a good price. Our base- case scenario for Orange assumes that, against the backdrop Others 49.33% described above, we will see a 3% decline in eEBITDAaL, and witness FCFE of PLN 391m, in 2020. The following year, assuming the epidemic is contained, EBITDA could rebound by 5.1%, Business Profile supported by cost savings, and FCFE might increase to PLN 800m Orange Polska is a leading telecommunications provider in Poland with 14.8 million mobile users, (10.4% Yield). On updated estimates, we set our new target price 2.6 million broadband users, and 3.4 million voice for OPL at PLN 6.90, and we upgrade the stock to buy. Below we also users at the end of 2018. This was equivalent to provide a best-case earnings outlook for Orange, which considers respective market shares of 28% in mobile and 49% potential positive effects of price hikes facilitated by increasing data in fixed line.
