KPN Headline Results Solid Though FCF Was Soft On WC Changes; Not A Spread Mover

COMMUNICATIONS


  • Q1 revenue and EBITDAal in line with BBG consensus at +3.3% YoY and +3.6% YoY (vs. +2.5% and +2.9% company-provided consensus). Two largest segment’s revenue broadly in line with BBG consensus too with Consumer +4.5% and Business +3.2% (vs. company provided consensus of +2.8% and +2.5%). Results look good against 3% CAGR service revenue and EBITDAal MT guidance.
  • Credit metrics slightly soft; Leverage flat at 2.3x, ICR increased to 10.6x from 10.5x at FY23. OFCF +5.9% YoY on higher EBITDAal though FCF was -5.9% YoY on working capital changes (vs. -0.1% company provided FCF consensus).
  • MT guidance affirmed; FY guidance upgraded but slightly so; FY24 EBITDAal guidance EUR +20mn and FCF guidance EUR +10mn. Attributed to the Youfone acquisition.
  • EUR spreads flat; not likely a spread mover.
