Technicolor - Towards the next phase

Technicolor’s H120 results are consistent with management’s base level guidance given ahead of the EGM to approve the refinancing. Our model reflects this scenario. The proposed rights issue and debt-to-equity swap are now set to proceed, launching in August, closing in September. The share price has been rebounding towards the €2.98 rights price for equity shareholders, underwritten by the debt holders, who will pay €3.58/share. With firm steps now taken along the route to a much-strengthened balance sheet, the focus can shift towards rebuilding profitability; leveraging Technicolor’s leading market positions across its three operations.
