Telefonica improves organic revenue growth to 5% in Q4
2015-02-25 09:43:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telefonica reported a recovery in organic revenue growth in the fourth quarter to 5.0 percent on annual basis. On a reported basis, revenues were still down 14.0 percent to EUR 12.4 billion, hurt by negative currency effects and divestments. OIBDA was stable on an organic basis but fell 35.9 percent to EUR 3.19 billion on a reported basis, mainly due to charges for the integration of E-Plus in Germany and a continued drop in profit in Spain. The OIBDA margin fell 8.7 percent points year-on-year to 25.7 percent. Net profit declined 90 percent to EUR 152 million, hurt by a charge for the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency. The operator finished the year with net debt of EUR 45.09 billion, in line with its target, while the negative forex effects reduced the amount of debt reduction achieved to EUR 294 million. Leverage was at 2.74 times OIBDA, and Telefonica said this will drop to 2.15 once it completes the planned sale of O2 UK. For 2015, Telefonica expects organic revenue growth to accelerate to 7 percent, helped by continued growth in mobile data services and the acquisition of E-Plus in Germany, while excluding the results of Telefonica UK. The operator aims to limit the drop in the OIBDA margin to no more than 1 percent point, with possible pressure from spending on commercial initiatives. By 2016, the margin should start to stabilise. Telefonica also pledged to maintain capex at around 17 percent of revenues, keep the annual dividend at EUR 0.75 per share and reduce net debt to 2.35 times OIBDA by the end of 2015.

(Telecompaper) Liberty Global reported fourth-quarter revenues up 3 percent year-on-year to USD 4.6 billion, as its takeover of Dutch operator Ziggo in November helped offset negative currency effects. The cable company also added 315,000 revenue-generating units on an organic basis in the quarter, for a total 55.9 million at year-end. The growth came mainly from broadband services, with 240,000 subscribers added in the three months and 905,000 in the past year, for a total 17.3 million. Liberty lost 35,000 TV subscribers in Q4 and 223,000 in the full year, slowing the rate of decline to finish the year with a total 24.3 million. Its connected set-top box Horizon counted 914,000 subscribers, and 68 percent of video customers were using digital TV. At the end of 2014, the company provided an average 2.04 services to each customer, and 60 percent of subscribers took more than one service. It also had 4.5 million mobile subscribers, up 11 percent year-on-year, and Liberty said it plans to launch more mobile services in 2015. Liberty Global reported 4 percent in operating cash flow to USD 2.1 billion in the quarter. Organic growth was also 4 percent, led by the UK and Germany. Liberty said it expects to achieve mid single-digit growth in organic OCF in 2015, in line with the 5.5 percent increase last year.
