Liberty Global (LG) has reported its consolidated Q3/24 results and held an earnings call. The Q3 revenue figures were in line with our expectations, while EBITDA exceeded our forecasts. Top-line pressures continued, but cash-flow development was solid overall and liquidity remained very strong. We expect the group to continue using large share buybacks as a means to return cash to shareholders.
In today's Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: Lottomatica (formerly Gamenet), Rexel, Nexans, Liberty Global, Sunrise, Aston Martin, Techem, Synlab, evoke (formerly 888 Holdings), Boparan, Borr Drilling, PureGym
After the initial results out from Liberty Global last night, we get more detailed results this morning from VMO2, so we are able to further analyse the disappointing guidance given for VMO2 which implies a higher cost base than previously expected to support the current revenue trajectory. In this note, we dive deeper into the implications of this and what it means for Liberty Global and Telefonica.
Looking ahead to Liberty Global’s Q3 results, we don’t expect any major operational surprises, but we think the bigger surprise could be the completion of the extra $400m buyback already, and a further increase in the buyback which could reach as high as 16% of share capital for 2022.
