Overview: The National Company Law Tribunal's (NCLT) Mumbai bench has now scheduled for 18 January the oft-adjourned hearing on the bankruptcypetition filed against Reliance Communications (RCom) by large trade creditor Ericsson India. Largest creditor China Development Bank (CDB), at a hearing on5 January, formally pulled its petition after agreeing to enable the Anil Ambani-controlled Indian wireless-communications, data-centre and undersea-cablecompany to proceed with its late-December updated plan to monetise assets, including through the sale of its wireless-related assets to Reliance Jio, a rivalcontrolled by Anil’s elder brother and India’s wealthiest person Mukesh Ambani. In addition, RCom hopes to generate cash by developing its vast GreaterMumbai real-estate holdings and bringing on a strategic investor to recapitalise the remaining rump company. The plan, which is supposed to reduce RCom’sdebt by 85% to around INR 60bn (USD 936.3m), is still subject to lender and regulatory approval, according to a company announcement on 26 December.

RISE, FALL AND SALVATION

Reliance Communications Limited (RCom) is a Maharashtra, India-headquartered wireless-communications, data-centre and undersea-cable company in the process of trying to monetise assets to ward off abankruptcy process. Once India’s second-largest wireless-communications player in what was expected to be a booming market, the company -- controlled by tycoon Anil Ambani -- is the most high-profile loser in thebrutal war for users that reached its apex with the aggressive entry into the space in September 2016 by Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIO). Under a late-December definitive agreement, Jio will buy RCom’s wirelessassets, bringing the business back to its original corporate home – Reliance Industries, the conglomerate controlled by Anil’s big brother and frequent foil, Mukesh Ambani.

The sale is part of a revised monetisation plan RCom announced on Boxing Day 2017 that is supposed to reduce its debt to around INR 60bn (USD 936.3m) eventually, compared with INR 490.6bn (USD 7.56bn) as of31 March 2017. The announcement ended management’s desperate attempts for the past year to save the core wireless business. Following a Debtwire report in May that RCom was months late on servicing its loans,its lenders in early June formed a so-called Joint Lenders Forum with the aim of completing a restructuring by late December under the Reserve Bank of India's Strategic Debt Restructuring (SDR) process. Attempts tomerge the flagging wireless business with a rival’s and to sell the communications-tower business collapsed in October and November under the weight of objections from key creditors China Development Bank(CDB) and Standard Chartered Bank. Bankruptcy petitions from CDB and large trade creditor Ericsson India finally forced Anil’s hands.

Monetisation plan: RJIO will purchase most of RCom's assets, including 122.4 Mhz of 4G spectrum, around 43,000 towers, around 178,000 kilometres of fibre-optic cable, 248 media-convergence nodes, as per a 28December announcement that doesn’t state a price. Indian press have reported a price range of INR 200bn-INR 240bn (USD 3.12bn-USD 3.75bn). As part of the 26 December plan, RCom also intends to sell real estatein New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Jigni and Tirupati. It expects the sale of the wireless and property assets will reduce its debt by INR 250bn (USD 3.93bn), according to the 26 December announcement.

RCom also plans to monetise its 125 acre IT Park in Navi Mumbai, which houses RCom’s network operations centre. The property, which is held by an SPV, is expected to be further developed after RCom finds apartner and eventually lead to an additional INR 100bn debt reduction.

Leftovers: The residual company will mainly comprise RCom’s internet data centres, its landline service catering to Indian enterprises and its submarine cable and data centre unit Global Cloud Xchange (GCX). GCX’scash flows are partially ring-fenced, as per the terms of its USD 350m secured due-2019 bonds, restricting dividends to RCom if debt-to-EBITDA is above 3.75x or if interest coverage is below 1.75x. Under the 26December plan, the rump company would be recapitalised by a strategic investor. Credit Suisse was appointed to find an investor, according to RCom.

How it got here: RCom was incorporated in July 2004 and then listed on the Indian stock exchanges on 6 March 2006, not long after being split off from Reliance Industries. The spin off was part of a deal between thefeuding Amabani brothers that divided the vast conglomerate built by their late father. In the years following the split, RCom experienced significant growth in revenue and profit, fuelled in part by eager borrowingand a rapidly growing market, sending the stock price soaring to an eventual peak of INR 803 in January 2008. The shares closed at INR 32.45 on 9 January.

The mix of debt and intense competition eventually caught up to RCom, particularly once Reliance Jio entered the market in September 2016 and began slashing prices. After a strong decade-long run following thesplit from Reliance Industries, RCom’s growth in revenue and EBITDA leveled off in FY14 through 31 March 2014, and then in FY17 the bottom fell out, with adjusted EBITDA declining 31% YoY to INR 50.8bn onrevenue that fell 11.2% YoY to INR 194.9bn. Free cash flow burn intensified, at negative INR 107bn versus negative INR 43.8bn in the year prior. The trend continued into 1H18, with revenue falling 41% YoY to INR61.1bn and EBITDA swinging to negative INR 0.8bn, a INR 31.1bn fall from the year-prior period.

To deal with the competition and liquidity challenges, RCom in September 2016 inked the ill-fated deals to merge its wireless business with struggling rival Aircel Ltd and in April 2017 agreed to sell of its tower assetsto Canadian alternative-asset manager Brookfield Infrastructure Partners. These transactions were supposed to help RCom reduce its debt by 60%. With completion of the deals dragging, RCom's bank lenders formeda Joint Lenders Forum with the purpose of putting the company through the Reserve Bank of India's so-called SDR process, which effectively gave management a late December deadline for finalising a resolution planor face the loss of control of the company. If that wasn’t pressure enough, bankruptcy petitions from CDB, Ericsson and some other trade creditors appears to have done the trick.
