United Internet has announced that 1&1 will acquire its sister company Versatel at a €1.3bn valuation. While there is operational logic to this combination, the financial terms seem unfavourable for the 1&1 minorities, as we struggle to see a path to breakeven for Versatel.
1&1 reported solid Q3 results, leaving full-year guidance broadly unchanged apart from some capex phasing. The company has completed the subscriber migration to its own network, although site rollout remains sluggish and no progress on low-band spectrum. At the broader United Internet group, results were weighed down by the AdTech segment, where EBITDA fell to zero following a shift in Google’s advertising model.
With the Telefonica CMD around the corner (4 November), we revisit our 1&1 valuation and reassess potential synergies from German mobile consolidation. We estimate a transaction could value 1&1 equity at €6.7bn (€38/ share, +90% upside) assuming synergies are split equally, or potentially higher if Vodafone were also to bid.
