Odido CFO call meeting notes: Interesting read across for KPN/Vod-Zigg...

We recently had a call with Odido CFO, Gero Niemeyer, and we provide feedback in this report. Our key take-away is that Odido is negotiating with ODF to increase the share it buys up to 40% from 20%.

Odido Q2 24: Fixed going from strength to strength, but mobile laggi...

The fixed business continues to perform well for Odido, but the same can not be said for mobile, where subs growth is now negative, and MSR growth is close to zero. In aggregate, SR has declined again to +3.1% y/y (MSR +0.1% and FSR +11.9% y/y) from +3.9% y/y. Odido is doing a good job of converting the SR into EBITDA growth, but the lack of ARPU and MSR growth is a bit of a concern.

Odido (T-Mobile NL) Q1 24: B2C mobile ARPU now only +0.7% y/y - front...

Odido has reported a good set of Q1 24 results, but APRU trends have deteriorated again, and are now only +0.7% y/y in B2C mobile, suggesting that the planned offensive on front book prices, promised at the Q4 results, can not come soon enough.

Odido Q4 23: Good SR and EBITDA growth; possible frontbook fix on th...

Odido has (finally!) reported a good set of Q4 23 results today, and has given some solid guidance. Interestingly, on the call management said that front book prices were the “topic of the year” – we have long worried that a lack of front book price rises would hold back growth, but if action is taken (Odido said that it has shut down the Tele2 brand which was the most aggressive on price), then this would be a positive for all the Dutch players

KPN has reported a solid set of numbers with SR and EBITDaL in-line with expectations, and good trends at the key segments. Guidance has been reiterated. KPN SR growth continues to be impressive supported by price increases.

Odido reported Q3 23 results today. SR trends are good, but slowed slightly thanks to mobile; fixed revenue growth though accelerated again to +12.9% y/y from +10.9% y/y in Q2 23, and on the call Odido said that it expected net adds to be higher in 2024 than in 2023.

KPN (Neutral, TP: €3.8, +16%) Feedback from NDR with CFO and CEO

We recently hosted KPN CEO Joost Farwerck and KPN CFO Chris Figee for a post Q2 roadshow. We provide feedback in this report. All-in-all, we continue to think that KPN is one of, if not the best high quality safe haven names in the sector. We see a possible upside opportunity over the medium-term as OpEx and capex falls post the fibre roll finishing.

KPN (Buy, TP: €4.0, +32%) Q4 22: Slightly weaker 2023 EBITDAal guidan...

KPN has reported a solid set of results vs consensus expectations, and revenue trends are encouraging, but new 2023 EBITDAal guidance is for €2,410m, +0.2% y/y vs guidance at the Q3s of 0%-2% growth y/y, and is -0.5% below consensus of €2,421m. In effect the guidance range has been cut to 0%-1% from 0%-2%, due to a higher-than-expected labour agreement and slightly worse than expected competitive environment in fixed.

KPN has reported a strong set of results, with a good EBITDA result (c+0.8% vs consensus, that had been raised into the quarter), better mass-market SR trends, +2.5% y/y from +2.0% y/y (SME revenues now at +9.1% y/y), and 20%+ FCF beat.

KPN - High-fiber snack KPN NA

This note will explore the business case for fiber, following KPN’s ramp-up of investment, with the aim to reach 80% coverage in the Neths by 2026. Apart from building a separate P&L for KPN’s standalone fiber activities and its JV with APG, we’ll also look at the competitive fiber landscape in the Neths. While we believe the market is warming to the idea that fiber can create value in the long-term, we still think it discounts the upside of KPN having the largest footprint in the Neths, a netwo...

New Street: European Telecoms Outlook still looks good for 2022

Most people will say European Telecoms hasn’t had a good 2021 – underperforming the market by 8%. However, it had its best absolute performance since 2015; outperformed the US telcos; seen more guidance upgrades vs. downgrades, record high M&A volumes and improving service revenue growth.

If truth be told, before writing this report we were sceptical about the financial merits of ESG investing; however, in doing the research, we found clear evidence of better TSR from Telco ESG leaders compared to laggards, that those with better Governance (no Government ownership) outperformed the others, and that ESG can help companies in the sector have a lower cost of borrow – these three things alone are good reason enough to look at ESG from a financial perspective in our view.
