  • 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.

  • 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.
