2Q25 Results: Telenet, VodafoneZiggo, Virgin Media O2/A strategic pivo...
The 2Q25 earnings of VodafoneZiggo, Telenet and Virgin Media O2[de] continue to look soft. Interestingly, a network carve-out in the UK now seems off the table, while Liberty Global is working to unlock the intrinsic value of its separate businesses through divestitures, as they have done with Sunrise. Nevertheless, 2Q25 performance was underwhelming and our conviction to buy or sell the notes is low. Despite stable QoQ leverage, we see limited value in current spreads. Nevertheless, there is st...

VirginMedia-O2 (Underweight) Q2 25 – Customer losses and ARPU growth ...
VMO2’s Q2 results show that customer losses and ARPU trends have slipped further in Q2. Although all guidance has been reiterated supported by hopes of a B2B turnaround and near-term cost measures, we think these KPI trends will make it more difficult to sustain organic EBITDA growth into FY26.

1Q25 Results: Telenet, VodafoneZiggo, Virgin Media O2/Delays until the...
The 1Q25 earnings reports of VodafoneZiggo, Telenet and Virgin Media O2[de] were soft. When compared to 4Q24, leverage deteriorated across the board in 1Q25, while all companies lost broadband customers. We were especially disappointed by the weaker outlook for VodafoneZiggo. Although all businesses have their intrinsic strengths, there are challenges, as described below, and our conviction to buy or sell the notes is low. We see limited value in current spreads. Nevertheless, there is still ups...

Liberty Global (LG) has released disappointing Q1/25 numbers, owing to weak subscriber dynamics. Revenues and adjusted EBITDA grew y-o-y. Cash-flow performance was mixed, with OCF rising while taxes paid and capex increased. Total debt was up, while the cash balance improved slightly. Management aims to reduce leverage, with asset sales ongoing at VodafoneZiggo. However, LG still plans to pay material dividends. Market conditions are set to remain very difficult, and the near-term outlook is...

The weaker broadband adds at VMO2 reported this morning were only half the story. With the full Liberty Global results, there has also been a material guidance reduction for VodafoneZiggo. We addressed the VMO2 numbers in more detailed in our earlier note here – and now in this note we do a more detailed dive into VodafoneZiggo and how leverage trends could develop over the next few years based on the new guidance and the potential tower sale.

4Q24 Results: Sunrise, Telenet, VodafoneZiggo, Virgin Media O2/Earning...
The 4Q24 earnings reports of VodafoneZiggo, Telenet, Sunrise and Virgin Media O2[de] were soft. When compared to 4Q23, the 4Q24 adj. EBITDA performance was weak across the board. We currently prefer Sunrise, as it guides for adj. EBITDAaL growth and lower leverage. We also like VodafoneZiggo, as there is less uncertainty with respect to a potential network carve-out than at Virgin Media O2 and Telenet. Given similar credit profiles, we expect limited spread dispersion across the four companies.
