FYBR: Cash flow in steady state

Frontier management has set targets for EBITDA of $4BN and operating FCF of $3BN on a footprint with 10MM fiber locations, in steady state. We built a simple model to vet this outcome. Our model arrives at slightly lower EBITDA and UFCF; however, modest cost cuts get us to the target, and cost cuts are likely. In addition to vetting steady-state targets, the model illuminates how value is created in the fiber business. We built it so that you can easily change assumptions and see the impact on v...

FYBR: updating capex and funding through 2026

The Company’s new Capex disclosure provides a clear map for cash capex for the fiber project for the remainder of the 10MM location plan, which will take them into 2026. Stronger confidence in the capex trajectory for the next three years lends confidence to the FCF trajectory and funding requirements (we have eliminated a variable). This should make it easier for investors on the sidelines to underwrite the investment case.
