Telecom Italia values fixed network at 6x EBITDA - report
2013-05-23 11:44:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia is said to have valued its fixed-line network at around six times annual EBITDA from the operations, as part of preparations to spin off the network infrastructure into a new company. According to company documents seen by Bloomberg, the network is valued at about EUR 14 billion. Sales at the new company, called Opac SpA, are forecast to slip 0.3 percent this year to EUR 4.6 billion, while EBITDA is forecast down 1.6 percent to EUR 2.33 billion. The valuation is based on a multiple of six times EBITDA, said a person with knowledge of the matter. Telecom Italia's board is scheduled to meet 23 May to complete a review of the spin-off plan. The operator is considering a sale of an initial 30 percent stake in the new company to state lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti after a separation. The proceeds would be used to reduce the company's debt and invest in expanding network coverage. Italy's government is in favor of naming a CDP executive to oversee the new company as its chairman and to ensure a level playing field for other carriers, while Telecom Italia could name its CEO, another source told Bloomberg.

Telecom Italia net profit down sharply, sales fall 8% in Q1
2013-05-09 09:34:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia reported first-quarter revenues down 8.1 percent year-on-year to EUR 6.796 billion. Domestic revenues fell 10.1 percent to EUR 4.024 billion, and revenues from Brazil and Argentina were dampened by negative currency effects. EBITDA declined 10.1 percent to EUR 2.672 billion, and the margin dropped to 39.3 percent from 40.2 a year ago, hurt by a larger share of business from South America, where margins are lower, and higher smartphone sales. Net profit dropped to EUR 364 million from EUR 605 million in the year-earlier period. Capex fell slightly to EUR 878 million, and operating cash flow plunged to EUR 137 million from EUR 626 million a year ago, hurt by accumulated payments for the previous quarter. This led to an increase in adjusted net debt to EUR 28.77 billion from EUR 28.27 billion at the end of December. The operator still targets debt of less than EUR 27 billion by year-end, as well as flat revenues and a low-single digit percentage drop in EBITDA this year. In addition, the company approved the partial spin-off of its carrier services division Telecom Italia Sparkle, expected to be completed by the third quarter.
