Sprint forecasts stronger EBITDA growth in 2014
2014-02-11 13:13:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Sprint forecast a further improvement in adjusted EBITDA in 2014, after reporting 13 percent growth in 2013. The result rose to USD 5.4 billion last year and is expected to reach USD 6.5-6.7 billion in 2014. In the fourth quarter of 2013, Sprint increased revenues slightly to USD 9.14 billion from USD 9.01 billion a year ago, helped by the acquisition of Clearwire, and adjusted EBITDA rose nearly 40 percent to USD 1.15 billion, helped by reduced handset subsidies and the shutdown of the Nextel network. Customer growth improved compared to the third quarter, with the net addition of 477,000 subscribers, including 219,000 in prepaid and 327,000 wholesale, offset by the loss of 69,000 in postpaid. The company added a net 58,000 postpaid users under the Sprint brand in the quarter, but lost 127,000 at Clearwire and the operations acquired last year from US Cellular. In total, Sprint had 55.354 million customers at year-end, down from 55.626 million at the end of 2012. The number of connected devices rose by over 1 million year-on-year, including 466,000 tablets in Q4 alone, to 4.50 million at end-2013. Despite more of the low-margin devices, ARPU improved over the year to USD 63.44 for retail postpaid and USD 27.34 for retail prepaid in Q4. Sprint increased capex last year to USD 7.45 billion from USD 5.37 billion in 2012. The company plans a further increase this year to around USD 8 billion, as it expands LTE coverage to 250 million people by mid-year, from 200 million currently.

Orange maintains cash flow outlook as Q3 EBITDA down 7.7%
2013-10-23 08:54:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Orange has maintained its full-year outlook after reporting a continued drop in its third-quarter results. Revenues were down 5.5 percent year-on-year to EUR 10.162 billion, despite improving customer growth in its key markets France, Spain and Poland. On a comparable basis and excluding regulatory effects, sales were down 2.4 percent, with France falling 4.9 percent, Poland down 2.6 percent, Spain growing 6.9 percent and the rest of the world up 1.3 percent. Adjusted EBITDA declined 7.7 percent to EUR 3.366 billion, and the margin fell to 33.1 percent from 33.9 a year ago. Capex increased 4.3 percent to EUR 1.293 billion, which Orange attributed to spending on 4G and fibre broadband expansion. Operating cash flow reached EUR 6.034 billion for the first nine months of the year, down 13.2 percent from a year earlier but on track to meet the company's target of EUR 7 billion for the full year. Orange still plans a dividend of EUR 0.80 per share for this year, with the interim 30 cents to be paid in December. Net debt should be no more than 2.4 times EBITDA by year-end, and the company will consider acquisitions to consolidate and expand its market positions. The group ended September with 232.5 million customers, up by 2.1 percent or 4.9 million from a year earlier.
KPN revenues down 7.6% in Q3, EBITDA falls 14%
2013-10-22 09:14:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Dutch operator KPN reported third-quarter revenues down 7.6 percent to EUR 2.08 billion, and EBITDA fell 14 percent year-on-year to EUR 743 million. The results exclude its German operator E-Plus, which is being acquired by Telefonica. KPN's net profit fell 56 percent to EUR 87 million. Capex totaled EUR 357 million in the three months, down 2.7 percent from a year earlier, and free cash flow fell 38 percent to EUR 63 million. The ration of net debt to EBITDA worsened, to 2.4 from 2.2 in the previous quarter. If the expected proceeds from E-Plus are taken into account, the ratio would be 1.5. KPN adjusted its outlook to take account of the German divestment. It reiterate dplans to resume dividends from 2014 and lowered its capex outlook to less than EUR 1.7 billion this year and a maximum EUR 4.7 billion over 2013-2015. The Dutch market remains challenging and is only expected to stabilise next year, while the Belgian operations should continue to outperform the market. E-Plus is expected to grow service revenues this year, but see a lower EBITDA margin.
