SES has reported weak Q3 results and weaker Q4 guidance, with Adj. EBITDA for the combined business (incl. Intelsat) declining at c.−20% YoY. We’ll have to wait until February for updated mid-term guidance, meanwhile the outstanding guidance looks increasingly farcical. Most concerning though is net debt, which came in +€0.4bn higher than we had expected and will likely see leverage at 5x (on an all-in basis) this year, or 4x including potential C-band proceeds.

We think new industry proposals increase the likelihood and scale of C-band clearing, which drives a meaningful increase to our SES target price (+€1.5/ share). In this brief note we discuss the C-band clearing process and our expectations for the Q3 results.
These are exciting times in the Benelux TMT markets.
