OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR INOUICe Senator INOUYE. Good morning. This morning, we will receive testimony on the use of telecommunications technologies in edu- cation. We will hear from an array of witnesses and experts in the field of telecommunication and education. The focus of this morn- ing's hearing is to examine how new technologies and old tech- nologies car. be used to help schools and universities serve our chil- dren more effectively and to extend the reach of the educational in- stitutions to rural and underserved communities. Educating this Nation's children is one of our highest priorities. It is personally of great concern to me. It seems trite, but it is cor- rect, that our children are our future and our future is in grave danger. For example, 23 million Americans are illiterate, another 30 million are semi-illiterate, lacking skills beyond the eighth grade level. And this number will increase by 1.6 million per year. One out of every eight 17-year-olds is illiterate, 20 percent of all American workers are illiterate, illiteracy costs approximately $240 billion per year in lost productivity, crime, accidents, employee er- rors, training programs, welfare assistance, and onand on and on. The most effective way to address this problem is to start with our children. As I said, our children are thisNation's

  • Liberty Latin America (LILAK) - 4Q19 Results, Positive - Maintain ‘Outright - Neutral'
    BCP Research: Liberty Latin America (LILAK) - 4Q19 Results, Positive - maintain ‘Outright - Neutral' Published: February 26th 2020 Summary: Caribbean and LatAm telecom company, Liberty Latin America (“Lilak”) released 4Q19 results, showing RGU and mobile subscriber growth, while ARPU contracted, primarily as a result of f/x fluctuation, impacted by political unrest in Chile. Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA grew y/y and sequentially, exceeding guidance. Free cash flow was positive US$214 mm, benefitting from strong adjusted OIBDA performance, positive working capital and Lilak’s interest payment cycle. We highlight capex to revenue expanded in the quarter to 16% (3Q19: 14%). At 4Q19, LILAK had net debt of US$7.1 bn and LTM net leverage of 4.7x, with a portion of the debt expansion attributable to the acquisition of AT&T Puerto Rico and USVI. We highlight the company refinanced ~US$2.5 bn in debt between 4Q19 and 1Q20, pushing 90% of its maturity profile past 2024. LILAK currently trades at a premium to comps (7.4x vs. 5.3x TEV / FY19 EBITDA). We recognize modestly higher expected growth (9% in FY20-21 v. peers Millicom 3%, America Movil 4% and Oi 5%, based on BBG consensus). Assuming the company achieves BBG consensus adj. OIBDA projections of ~US$1,695 mm would imply 6.7x TEV / FY21 BBG consensus adj. OIBDA, still a significant premium to comps and implying fair value in line with the current mid-price of 103c on the convert. Given the narrow volatility spread (100D 30% v 28% IVOL), and unfavorable upside vs downside on an outright basis, we maintain our ‘Outright – Neutral’ opinion on LILAK 2% 24s.
