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%.
In this publication, we review the past year and discuss our outlook for the next 12 months.

We have recently spent a fair amount of time with the TeleColumbus CEO/ CFO to review our longer-term thinking on the business model and we materially increase our value of the business from prior estimates. We come away with the conclusion that the market price on the debt is wrong and believe this is one of the most attractive credit opportunities in Europe at the moment.
2024 is very much a transition year for TeleColumbus in their TV base, but importantly the core Internet franchise growth remains very strong – and well ahead of Vodafone’s growth rates. This, alongside developments on NetCo/ OpCo we think can be further upside for the bonds, but in the near-term, the cost of managing this transition in 2024 will be slightly more expensive than initially assumed.
BNetzA’s latest proposal for the German spectrum auction might well now be close to the final outcome, and delays the uncertainty of an auction and potential large cash outflows until 2030 for all German operators. This seems a further example of pragmatic regulation in the European telecoms sector.
