German FTTH Deep-Dive: It should be worth the wait Rational structure...

We hope that all of our readers have enjoyed a good summer break and welcome back! A couple of weeks ago in the dog days of August, we published a deep-dive note looking at the German FTTH market. However, we realise that a lot of our readers might well have been on the beach then with far better things to do.

German FTTH Deep-Dive: It should be worth the wait Rational structure...

Growth in German broadband market volumes is slowing, but that isn’t the end of the world as we see ever-increasing evidence of a rational market structure evolving with fibre overbuild likely to be far lower than in most other markets. This should support a rational pricing outlook and de-risk the payback on high levels of FTTH capex per premise.

TeleColumbus (Overweight) Q1 25: Pricing power leads to KPI wobble

TeleColumbus Q1 results would suggest the introduction of some long-awaited pricing power on their broadband product, but this has been offset by weaker KPIs. EBITDA in Q1 was also slightly weaker than expected on higher costs.

Tele Columbus - Earnings Flash - Q4 FY 2024 Results - Lucror Analytics

Tele Columbus has published its Q4 and FY 2024 results, with revenues down 15.2% y-o-y for Q4 and 5.7% for the full year. The Q4 figures were largely in line with trends observed earlier in the year, though the impact of the pay-TV bulk to individual contract migration was more severe over the quarter. Meanwhile, broadband revenues continued to expand at a fast pace. However, cash generation was very weak due to capex needs, and we believe leverage is excessive. 

TeleColumbus Q4 results and 2025 outlook – Bullish thesis intact

TeleColumbus has just reported their 2024 results and provided 2025 guidance for the first time. We remain bullish on the credit story for the company and see increased conviction from the management team on their path to a fibre stronghold in their footprint.

TeleColumbus (Overweight) Potential ServCo sale: Implications and ref...

TeleColumbus’ NetCo/ ServCo separation is progressing quicker than we had expected and we believe the company is now seriously exploring a ServCo sale as a route to reduce debt and enhance equity value. TeleColumbus’ current 10% PIK note arguably sees an excessive transfer of value from equity holders to debt holders given our view that the company has asset coverage > 100%.
