Project Alpine 3

Executive Summary - Assumptions and Valuation

• Penetration was 111% at end „06, increases to 125%, incl.

mobile broadband (HSPA).

• Highly competitive 4 player MNO market plus initially 1

MVNO which exits the market by „09. By 2016 One

obtains 23.4% of gross adds and a 22.7% share of base.

• One will continues to host Tele2 MVNO with a market

share of 2.5% of gross adds until its exit in ‟09.

•  As a result of Drei‟s push for market share annual prepaid

churn increases from a run rate of 28.5% in 2005 to 33.5%

in 2008, but postpaid churn falls from 19.1% to 18.8% in

2008 reflecting current market trends. From 2010 churn

reduces (2.0% points prepaid, 1.8% points for postpaid.

• Prices are low, increasing use of unlimited plans from

 €19/month. Further drop in prices (CAGR minus 5.1%).

•  ARPU ( €26.03 in „06) is declining slightly to €25.94 in „08,

before increasing to  €29.00 by „16. Drivers are price

elasticity, increasing share of postpaid, fixed mobile

substitution and non-SMS data up from 6% of ARPU in „06

to 19% in 2016.

• SACs decrease from €82 in „06 to € 66 in 2016 SRCs from

6.0% of ARPU revenue to 7.2%.

• Opex in line with management case.

• Capex increases sharply in 2007/8 as per management

case before settling in long term at 10% of revenue.

• The base case scenario results in a temporary drop in

EBITDA margin to 21-20% in 2008-2009 due to

competitive pressure from Drei, before increasing to a

stable 24% in 2015.

• This produces a fair value DCF valuation of  €1,064 million.

 – WACC 8.72%, TV growth 1%.

• Downside risks may reduce value by €604 million (43.2%).

•  Applying the challenger strategy increases the valuation

by €586 million (55%) to €1,650 million.

• The exit of Drei may increase the value by a further  €350(88%) million.

Project Alpine 5

The management case shows considerably higher gross margin and thus results a 69%

higher EBITDA minus Capex by 2012.

• The difference in gross margin

is due to cost of sales, suchas interconnect cost, SACs

and SRCs.

• For example, by 2012

interconnect cost are 25.5%

higher in the MobileCo base

case.

Downside valuation scenarios

* Combined value when modelled simultaneously

Downside Valuation Scenarios

We investigated a number of downside risks and modelled

their impact on the valuation of One

 A: One loses the wholesale business of Tele2 (100% loss

of wholesale revenue)

B: One underperforms by 10% in terms of Market Share

of Gross Additions

C: Competition from Drei forces an increase of 5% in

SACs and SRCs

D: Price competition reduces tariffs by 5%

E: One fails to secure favourable terms from the regulator 

for mobile termination rate regulation (5% reduction in

interconnect revenue)

Downside Valuation Scenarios

Impact of Downside Scenarios

If Drei succeeds in disrupting the market, this would have a

significant negative impact.

Based on the contribution of wholesale revenues from

Tele2 the loss of Tele2 as a wholesale customer would notbe disastrous.

The business case is not hugely impacted if termination

rates for One are ruled to be the same as Mobilkom‟s.

MobileCo proved that revenue can be increased

substantially while SACs can be lowered thus increasing

EBITDA.

We have modeled this the challenger strategy by:

 Accelerate sales through distribution partners – share

of gross adds increased 2% from 2008, wholesale

partners receive a 20% discount on the prepaid tariff,

marketing spend reduced €2m.

Coverage increased outside of major ci ties – share of gross adds increased 1% from 2009, churn reduced 2%

and 1% for prepaid and postpaid respectively,

additional 100 sites and supporting opex

FTEs (Full Time Equivalent Staff) reduced through a

focus strategy – FTEs reduced by 189 in ‟08 and ‟09,

171 FTEs from customer care outsourced

ONE receives MobileCo roaming minutes – an

additional 61.7 million minutes

UMTS investment reduced – coverage limited to 91%

of pops and marketing spend reduced by €2m. 50%

slower growth of HUI take-up in ‟08 and „09

The challenger strategy (see box on right)

No roaming fee brand covering Austria, Germany,

France, Belgium targeting a segment of the market.

Optimise transmission network and generate opex

savings.

Other options such as sale of towers were investigated

but either do not add value or further information is

required to value the initiative.

Initiatives to Increase Value Challenger Strategy Assumption Set

Impact of Value Creation Initiatives

Applying the challenger strategy would considerably enhance the valuation

Base Case Drei Exit

The impact from 2009 onwards:

No further growth in Drei market share

One gains 3% points share of gross adds over 3 years,

reaching 27.9% by 2012

One and market churn for prepaid and postpaid

customers reduces by 1% in 2009

Postpaid handset subsidies 15% lower from 2009

onwards.

Drei is an unpredictable force in the Austrian market -

increasing investment risk and volatil ity of return

Current base case assumes that Drei maintains

significant competitive pressure on the Austrian market

This may be construed as a cautious assumption and

there is some upside should Drei be less aggressive

There is a small probability that Drei may exit in the long

run

The possibility of further market consolidation, plus the

upside from the challenger case makes this an excitinginvestment for MobileCo

Drei Market Exit Assumption Set

Drei Market Exit Valuation Impact

The view taken on Drei has a big impact on the value creation potential

The Austrian telecoms end-user market is worth €1.4 billion and is showing very small

signs of decline

• The sharp decline in fixed voice telephony revenue

is largely offset by broadband and mobile.However, the overall telecoms market value is

starting to show signs of decline.

• There is already a substantial trend away from fixed

to mobile.

• The mobile market growth in 2006 is estimated to

be around 1.6%, compared to 5.5% in 2005.

• Mobile price pressure with introduction of unlimited

tariffs in 2006 and very low per Mbyte prices.

Around 10% of One’s network customer base at the end of 2006 are wholesale MVNO

customers.

One Network Customer Base

• Yesss is a service provider rather than an

MVNO. It is a wholly owned subsidiary

consolidates in One‟s accounts. Consequently

we have modelled Yesss customer as One

customers, i.e. all costs and revenue appear.

• Tele2 ad eety are MVNOs. We assumed the

only revenue One receives are the wholesale

traffic revenue. There are also no cost of sales

such as SACs and SRCs. Therefore we have

modelled MVNO revenue as wholesale

revenue.

• We have assumed that Tele2 pays One for the

use of the radio network, regardless of the

direction of traffic and that Tele2 receives andpays its own interconnect revenue and cost.

• Key indicators such as ARPU, MOUs, churn

SACs, SRCs etc are calculated on One‟s

customer base including Yesss, which correctly

reflects business situation.

There are a number of service providers / enhancedservice providers in the Austrian market, but they are

not MVNOs. Examples include, Bob and Schwarzfunk.

• In line with market trends ARPU declined and the

share of non-voice ARPU increased

 –  At the end of 2006 One had 16,000 UMTS data

card customers

Financially, One did not perform well during past two years

• The Austrian market is highly competitive and as a

result One‟s revenues were flat.

• Due to tariff declines and higher than average churn

One‟s performance showed a negative development

during the past two years.

 – EBITDA and EBITDA margin declined.

 – Gross margin (defined as revenue minus direct

variable costs) declined in absolute and in

percentage terms.

Despite the less than satisfactory performance at EBITDA level, cash flow increased to

2005 due to lower capex. However, the situation in 2007 will be very different.

• Lower capex lead to an increase in free cash flow.

However, in 2006 free cash flow also declined,despite slightly lower capex.

• During 2007, capex will be significantly higher due

to

 – UMTS investment,

 – the buy back of transmission network assets

from Alcatel.

•  According to the management case, capex will jump

to €156 million and free cash flow will drop to €22

million.

• However, the savings in opex on the outsourcing

contract will have a positive impact on EBITDA.

ARPU

•  ARPU declines, slightly driven by lower voice per minute rates and lower interconnect rates.

• Beyond 2009 the decline in voice ARPU offsetby:

 – Price elasticity of demand, minutes of useincrease substantially.

 – Non-voice, which increases to 30% by2016, with non-SMS data ARPU accountingfor 19%.

Voice tariff 2006-2016 CAGR minus 5.1%, and data tariff CAGR minus 18.6%

• Unlimited tariffs are increasingly common,depressing the effective per minute prices.

• Drei exerts price pressure in prepaid andpostpaid, but Mobilkom first introduced anunlimited tariff.

 – For prepaid low users One‟s per minuteprice is 40 to 20 cents compared to Dreiwith 20 cents

 – For high users One lowest postpaid minuteis effectively zero cents for calls to fixed and

4 cent for all to other mobiles. – Billing interval is generally 60 seconds for 

the 1st minute and 30 seconds thereafter.

•  Average per Mbyte tariffs are projected todecline sharply.

 –  Austria had historically low GPRS pricesand differentiated by APN, i.e. WAP vs.WEB.

 –  An increasing proportion of traffic isgenerated by mobile broadband which ispriced low.

 – Packet data tariffs for low volume handsettraffic (WAP) will decline sharply.

Interconnect rates are regulated to decline further, One termination rate 2006-2016

CAGR minus 6.5%

• Mobile termination rates for the period 2004 to

2006 have been regulated as cost orientedaccording to the LRAIC of a single hypothetical

efficient operator, Mobilkom, to reach 6.79 cents

in 2007.

• The regulator proposes that the figure of 6.79

cents is to be reached on a Gliding Path Model

by all operators by 2008. However, as part of the

current consultation, this is being opposed by

One, who is seeking a higher (asymmetric) MTR.

• Currently there are several ongoing proceedings

in order to recalculate the LRAIC-level and

therefore also the Gliding Path Model for the

upcoming years.

• In the model we have assumed that based on

the strength of their argument, One will retain a

slightly higher termination rate for a longer period.

• Fixed termination rates are already low and

further declines have not been factored in.

Trends in voice minutes and data traffic

• MOUs are increasing and are projected to

increase further driven by a decline in tariffs and a

significant price elasticity effect.

 – Prepaid price elasticity coefficient -0.80,

declining to -0.54

 – Postpaid assumed at -0.79, declining to -0.45

• The dramatic decline in per Mbyte prices driven by

relatively low priced data card internet traffic.

Cost of Sales: Subscriber Acqusition Costs (SACs) and Subscriber Retention Costs

(SRCs)

• Based on benchmarks from T-Mobile Austria and

Mobilkom, SACs for prepaid and postpaid havedeclined in „06, however due to an increased

share of postpaid One‟s blended SAC increased.

• SACs are expected to remain flat during the

remainder of the forecast period

• Increasing focus on customer retention leads to

higher SRCs.

From revenue to gross margin

• The net effect of the assumptions are a slight

increase in revenue during the forecast periodand also increasing cost of sales.

 – Cost of sales are defined as costs that vary

directly with customer activity, such as

interconnect cost or SACs

• The largest cost of sales item is interconnect,

accounting for around 18-16% of cost of sales,

following by SACs and SRCs.

• The margin on off-net minutes narrows, but an

increasing number of incoming minutes and flat

SACs results in a modest increase in gross

margin.

• Overall cost of sales increase slower than

revenue and the gross margin settles at 58-59%.

• Within the overall cost of sales trend certain costsare becoming more important, notably

interconnect and SRCs.

Sensitivity analysis on the Base Case indicates that One is sensitive to the classic

levers of value

• We ran a 10% upside and a 10%

downside across all key model

assumptions and examined the impact

on Enterprise Value against the Base

Case

• The identified key levers of value are:

 – Drivers of market share

 – Voice spend

 – Voice tariffs

 – Date spend

 – Interconnection rates

 – Network operating costs

Benchmarking key levers of value

• Detailed and comprehensive benchmarking of operational performance indicators was limited by the lack

of detailed management information from One and also by limited publicly available data for comparable

operators

• We were able to examine a number of areas but at a very high level

 – Staff levels

 – Leased line costs

 – Capital expenditure

•  A more comprehensive benchmarking study would be feasible during a more in-depth analysis with accessto management information

The ability to create value through additional outsourcing is limited

The ability to create value through additional outsourcing is limited

• In February 2002 and again in May 2004 One

announced extensive measures to control costs,

notably by reducing headcount

 – Distribution and customer care have been

specifically excluded

• In 2003, One outsourced the radio network

operation to Alcatel Austria

• This lead to a significant drop in headcount from

1,322 end 2003 to 857 end 2005, reducing staff 

costs by € 37.3 million

• On the 1st of January 2006, One outsourced the

operation of the IT infrastructure to Siemens,

transferring 28 employees to Siemens

• One appears to have outsourced most material

elements of its operations that it believes do not

confer competitive advantage

Option 1: Challenger strategy

• MobileCo encouraged wholesale partners onto the network and launched value for money fixed mobilesubstitution tariffs plans.

• MobileCo reduced SACs and SRCs (-68% for prepaid and – 29% for postpaid) and gave customers

additional value in terms of lower tariffs. This sits well with a fixed mobile substitution scenario since itreduces the mobile premium.

• The effect on MobileCo market share during the first three months of 2006 was positive:

 – Gain in market share of service revenue: 1.1% points

 – Gain in market share of revenue: 0.3% points

 – Gain in market share of base: 1.5% point

• Demand was highly price elastic: – Prepaid tariffs declined by 33.3% but prepaid ARPU remained constant. In terms of the Coleago

model this implies a price elasticity coefficient of -1.

 – Postpaid tariffs declined by 34.7% but postpaid ARPU declined by only 8.6%. In terms of the Coleagomodel this implies a price elasticity coefficient of -0.72.

• In Austria voice tariffs are around 15% lower than in France and MOUs are around 50% higher. Thereforethe price elasticity is likely to be less pronounced, and the pull element of the Challenger strategy is likelyto be less effective.

• However, additional elements of the Challenger Strategy are likely to yield benefits in addition to morefocused sales and marketing and customer segmentation as well as reductions in the cost base and capitalexpenditure plans

Project Alpine 53

Modelling of the Challenger Strategy for One

• Multi Channel Strategy: Accelerate sales through distribution partners using their brand (leverages

existing dedicated IN); share of gross adds increased 2% from 2008, all additional customers are prepaid

(postpaid base unchanged), these additions have a wholesale SAC of  €4.3; wholesale partners receive a

20% discount on the prepaid tariff; resulting saving in marketing spend - €2 million.

• Reduce Cost Base and Focus Strategy: a) Instead of being all things to all men, focus on mass market

with fewer products. Cut in direct sales force, less product & development operations, less communication

spend because less product advertising. b) FTE cuts as a result of cutting fat, focus on mass market

(sharply reduced direct sales force), less product development, some functions taken on by MobileCo e.g.

major technical planning, procurement.

 – The effect: Less 189 FTEs (see detail on separate worksheet) with  €30k redundancy charge per FTE,50% of the impact in '08 and 50% in '09; outsource remaining customer care 171 FTEs with 7%

saving on employment costs; minus €2 million marketing spend.

• Roaming Synergy: One receives MobileCo group roaming traffic, bringing MO minutes to 61.7 million and

corresponding MT uplift.

• Reduce UMTS Investment: Reduced Network Capex - aligned with Challenger Case IIb to provide 91%

data coverage with possible penalty risk; reduce marketing spend for UMTS - €2 million. 50% slower 

growth of HUI broadband take-up in 2008 and 2009, thereafter back to normal. Opex savings on slowdown of roll-out - aligned with Challenger Case IIb network opex forecast

Option 3: Optimisation of transmission network

• It may be possible to reduce leased line costs in the transmission network using WiMax.

• Due to lack of information at this stage, we cannot place a value on this with any degree of certainty.

• We have modelled this by reducing transmission costs by 10% from 2008 onwards and adding a one off  €5

million of network capex in 2008.

Option 4: Synergies with MobileCo

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/reading-session-12-project-alpine-june-2007 57/87

Project Alpine 56

Option 4: Synergies with MobileCo

• The size of the Austrian market with a population of 8.2 million is 34% smaller than that of Bavaria (12.5

million pops) and in the medium to long term One could be run as division of MobileCo.

• The top management of MobileCo could also be the top management of One.

• Departments could be merged, for example technical operations, with One‟s operation being akin to a

regional office.

• Some functions, such as pricing and distribution, legal, HR, regulatory would remain specific to Austria.

• We have not modelled this scenario since further investigation is required.

• In the longer term the network could be merged, notably if the network moves to an all IP network. Thiscould produce further savings in the longer term.

• There may be other synergies, or example lower purchase cost of network equipment, handsets, SIMs etc.

Option 5: Selling towers - rejected

• One could sell its tower assets and release some value in 2008.

• Lehman Brothers, 10 Jan 2007• We calculate a gross value of EUR 38bn for the tower assets, which are owned by mobile operators across

the core European markets. We estimate that the potential spin-off of these assets based on anEV/EBITDA multiple of 10x could realise a value of around EUR 13bn, equivalent to 5% valuation upsidefor the sector. This is below the valuation suggested for the potential demerger of the tower business of National Grid (around 12x EBITDA) and below the 20x multiple that tower businesses trade on in the US(albeit for much higher growth, larger sites and longer lease lengths). We believe there is more of avaluation than a cost savings opportunity from potential tower spin-offs in Europe. Renting back access tothe tower assets will incur an operating expense, and there are also likely to be higher commercial risks

compared to network outsourcing or sharing. However, the basic characteristics of the industry should befairly similar to those of the US, with the obvious difference that in Europe the towers are very much still owned by the operators. Hence, maximisation of tower yields is likely to be far behind the US. As a result,we argue that this should lead to some potential for yield enhancement over time. In our view, theseindustry characteristics are likely to appeal strongly to private-equity and infrastructure funds.

• MobileCo investigated the sale of its mobile tower assets but rejected the option because the price thatcould be obtained was not good enough and would have reduced MobileCo‟s market value.

• In the case of one we have modelled this scenario by releasing €70 million of network capex in 2008,

eliminating the site sharing revenue and increasing network opex by €3.5 million.

• If one still runs GSM Release 99, an upgrade to 4 would be required.

 – Outsource core? – Merge with MobileCo?

• Release 4 brings IMS capability and is a major step to an all IP network / NGM.

• Due to lack of information at this stage, we cannot place a value on this.

Option 7: Outsource customer service - rejected

• Option rejected

 – One focuses on customer service and distribution, this would a major change of strategy – Customer service appears to be a source of competitive advantage, leading to low churn

 – Unlike, French, English or Spanish speaking European countries, there are no low cost German

speaking countries
