MultiChoice | Africa turning

MultiChoice delivered commendable results in a challenging SA and African consumer environment. A 47% y/y decrease in the Rest of Africa trading losses and deceleration of the reduction in the South African premium subscriber base to -2.9% y/y (FY'19: c.-5.3% y/y) illustrated a deliverance on our investment case for a return to profits in Africa and a stable SA business. Following the results, we upgraded our FY'20 core HEPS estimate by 10% to ZAR7.44 and downgraded our FY'21 estimate by 2% to R8.82. We expect affordability shaping demand with five-year revenue CAGR of 6% to deliver a 11% trading profit CAGR over the same period due to operating leverage created by MultiChoice's fixed cost base (>80% of costs).
