22 March 2016 Europe/Sweden Equity Research Wireline TeliaSonera (TLSN.ST) Rating NEUTRAL Price (17 Mar 16, Skr) 41.92 COMPANY UPDATE Target price (Skr) 39.00 Market Cap (Skr m) 181,517.2 Enterprise value (Skr m) 239,294.2 What next? *Stock ratings are relative to the coverage universe in each analyst's or each team's respective sector. ■ We reiterate our Neutral rating and SEK39 PT. We raise our 2016-18E ¹Target price is for 12 months. EBITDA forecasts by 2% but are 2-3% below consensus 2017-18E EBITDA Research Analysts due to Sweden. Henrik Herbst 44 20 7888 0286 ■ Telia's decision to exit Eurasia marks a big shift in strategy after 15 years of [email protected] expansion into EM. After a sale of Eurasia Telia is likely to focus its strategy Jakob Bluestone on becoming the champion of the Nordic region. Telia has a strong position 44 20 7883 0834 [email protected] (#1 or #2) in Sweden and Finland in fixed and mobile, but is only the #3 Justin Funnell mobile player in Denmark, and it lacks access to fixed NGN infrastructure in 44 20 7888 0268 Denmark and Norway something the company highlighted as key. Buying [email protected] TDC would be the easiest way for Telia to address these issues. A sale of Telia DK to 3DK may also be easier from an anti-trust perspective. Buying TDC would be 8-15% FCF per share accretive to Telia over 2018-2020E, on our estimates, improving dividend cover. ■ We raise Swedish EBITDA forecasts 4% (for higher fibre installation revenues) for 2016-18E but are still 1-4% below consensus estimates. Voice line loss remains the main issue and with c.800k of Telia's 1.9m PSTN lines voice-only, we expect line loss to remain high. Telia's fibre installation revenues are set grow in 2016E but then flatten out in 2017E and decline from 2018E, as Telia's fibre roll-out slows. Meanwhile the outlook for mobile remains challenging with pressure on B2B and 4G uptake maturing. ■ Valuation: Telia trades on a 5.4x 2016E proportionate EV/EBITDA before a sale of its Eurasia assets and 6.4x post a sale and settlement of Uzbekistan. 6.4x 2016E EV/EBITDA is in line with the sector (6.4x).
