The 3Q24 earnings reports of the four high yield telecom companies that are (partially) owned by Liberty Global[a] were mixed. 3Q24 adj. EBITDA performance was strong at VodafoneZiggo and Telenet, slightly better at Sunrise, and weak at Virgin Media O2. We currently prefer Sunrise and Ziggo. Given similar credit profiles, we expect limited spread dispersion across the four companies. However, we expect that Liberty Global will look different one year from now, after (partial) network sales.
In today's Morning Views publication we comment on developments of the following high yield issuers: SPIE, Teva, Digi Communications, Altice France (SFR), Telenet, Sunrise, Air France-KLM, Axactor, Victoria, Ineos, Stada, Oriflame, Casino Guichard-Perrachon, Boparan, Synthomer, NewDay
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
The 2Q24 earnings reports of the four high yield telecom companies that are (partially) owned by Liberty Global were mixed. 2Q24 adj. EBITDA performance was strong at VodafoneZiggo, stable at Virgin Media O2 and Sunrise, while it was weak at Telenet. We would currently prefer to own Sunrise and Ziggo. Given similar credit profiles and the same (partial) owner, Liberty Global, we expect limited spread dispersion across the group. The main challenge to this view is our idea that we expect that Lib...
The 1Q24 earnings reports of the four high yield telecom companies that are (partially) owned by Liberty Global were mixed. 1Q24 adj. EBITDA performance was strong at VodafoneZiggo and Sunrise, while it was soft at Telenet and Virgin Media O2. We prefer to own Sunrise and Ziggo, today. Given similar credit profiles and the same (partial) owner at the moment, Liberty Global, we expect limited spread dispersion across the group. The main challenge to this view is our idea that we expect that Liber...
>Clients: Freenet inTV, Deutsche Telekom in broadband and 1&1 in mobile - In broadband, Deutsche Telekom added 66,000 clients in Q4 2023 vs Vodafone -94,000, O2D +23,000 and 1&1e -10,000 by our estimates. Deutsche Telekom continues its fibre roll-out (2-3 million new lines per year). Telefonica and 1&1 hope for better trends in the future but we see no visible signs. Freenet, which launched its offering in 2023, underlines the difficulty of building a brand on this ma...
>Clients : Freenet #1 (TV), Telekom #2 (internet) et 1&1 #3 (mobile) - Sur l’internet fixe, Deutsche Telekom a ajouté 66 000 clients au T4 2023 vs Vodafone -94 000, O2D +23 000, et 1&1e -10 000 selon nous. Telekom poursuit le déploiement de la fibre (2-3 M de lignes nouvelles par an). Telefonica et 1&1 espèrent de meilleures tendances à venir mais nous ne voyons pas de signe visible. Freenet, qui a lancé son offre en 2023, souligne la difficulté de construire une mar...
The 4Q23 earnings reports of the four high yield telecom companies that are (partially) owned by Liberty Global were mixed. 4Q23 adj. EBITDA performance was strong at Virgin Media O2 and UPC, while it was soft at Telenet and VodafoneZiggo. Nevertheless, we are surprised by the relatively low broadband customer losses at VodafoneZiggo, given the strong competition from FTTH. Another notable development is the weak guidance for FY24 from Telenet. Parent Liberty Global has also announced strategic ...
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.
