BT Results Broadly In-Line With Consensus, FY Guidance Confirmed

COMMUNICATIONS
  • Q3 Adj-Rev GBP of GBP 5.3bn (+2.5% YoY) slightly ahead of the 5.2bn consensus.
  • Q3 Adj-EBITDA was as expected at just over GBP 2bn (+1% YoY) with Consumer nearly exactly in-line with consensus of GBP 661 and Openreach GBP 20mn ahead of consensus at GBP 967mn despite some concerns in the market about vulnerability to contract losses to VM02/Sky.
  • All FY24 guidance was confirmed.• Not a whole lot to surprise in the numbers so we don’t expect much of a credit reaction here.
  • As previously noted, BT bonds performed well over Q4, with tightening versus peers supported by H1 earnings which saw FCF guidance raised to the top of their range as well as their triennial pension revaluation in November.
