Proximus has lowered its FY25 outlook because Proximus Global encountered unexpected headwinds. Although Proximus performed relatively well in Belgium, domestic competition is another source of uncertainty. Notably, Proximus is making slow progress to roll out fibre in Belgium together with competitors. The Proximus notes offer limited value, in our view.
Proximus has reported a mixed set of results and has updated guidance accordingly: domestic guidance has been lifted, but Global guidance has been cut heavily, with the net effect being a small downgrade to Group EBITDA guidance.
Although its Medical segment was demonstrating its resilience (nearly +17% y/y in 2Q25), Materialise's overall 2Q25 revenue decreased -5.8% y/y to € 64.8m impacted by increasing geo-political uncertainty and sustained macro-economic headwinds negatively impacted revenues in its Manufacturing and Software segments. Despite revenue pressure, Materialise was able to materially improve its operational profitability in 2Q25 q/q/ through structural and targeted cost control. Unfavourable FX-effects ...

We think the focus of the 2Q25 results and call will be a clarification of the vague organic FCF guidance beyond 2025. Proximus came up at 2Q24 with a double ‘tri yearly average FCF' guidance for 2025-2027 and 2028-2030, both surprisingly low. This led to significant pressure on the shares in 2H24. The 2025-2027 guidance is for “at least €200m per year”, then including €470m of disposals, so c.€100m of organic FCF per year. The 2028-2030 is for at least €300m. Based on Proximus' latest pre 2Q25 ...

We expect further support for the investments in the French 24/7 gym roll-out while we see potential upside to our FY26F estimates based on a change in the staffing ...
