    Vocus: building their identity as an infrastructure business

    ,
    On 22nd August, Vocus announced its FY19 earnings. While Vocus delivered on its FY19 guidance, the outlook for the next 2-3 years remains subdued as Vocus faces an uphill battle to turnaround its business. Competitive intensity will continue to remain high across the consumer and enterprise segments. Therefore, how Vocus develops its infrastructure business will remain crucial.

    Vocus 1H19 earnings update: Losses in both Consumer and Business

    ,
    On 27th February Vocus announced its 1H19 earnings. Revenue increased slightly but EBITDA and profits remain on a downward trend. Consumer and business segments saw large declines in revenue and SIOs. In a year of “resetting”, Vocus faces the difficult challenge of extracting value out of its fibre assets through enterprise projects and transforming its Consumer segment with a renewed focus on mobile and wireless.

    TPG’s mobile announcement will shift focus to the ongoing compe [...]

    ,
    TPGs decision to cease its mobile rollout reduces the prospects for a 4th mobile operator in Australia. The MVNO market is highly competitive in metro regions and looks set to become stronger. We expect the ACCC to turn its focus on the ongoing competitiveness of the MVNO market.

    New Zealand Telco Market Outlook

    ,
    We expect the overall retail telco market to remain flat (2018-2022 CAGR 0.0%) with mobile growth driven by a move to post-paid plans and 4G/5G to offset the structural decline in fixed voice.  Total retail revenues will reach NZ$5.4bn in 2022. With UFB deployment well on track and increasing 4G penetration, we expect a rise in competitive intensity as players look to capture share across a broader set of product offerings. Fixed voice continues its structural decline as subscribers shun the landline and migrate away from standalone fixed voice services to mobile bundles and broadband + VOIP bundles. The UFB rollout is on track to reach 80% of the population by the end of 2019 and has been recently extended by the Government to cover up to 87% of the population by 2022. The NZ Government recently announced a set of reforms including a move towards utility-style regulation, copper deregulation in areas where UFB is available, and increased oversight over quality and reliability of broadband services.

    Australian Telecommunications Market Outlook

    ,
    • The introduction and the rollout of the NBN has been one of the key inflection points in the Australian telco market. However, as the rollout progresses, complaints continue and the tug-of war with RSPs over CVC charges continues. This discord has led to both major and smaller RSPs experiencing a tight squeeze on margins and opportunities for bypass options
    • The Mobile segment continues its upward march but the market is about to see the impacts of a new wave of innovation (5G, IoT) and disruption (TPG Vodafone merger) in the next few years. This will severely impact fixed line broadband and nbn’s business case
    • The merger between TPG and Vodafone will create a strong third MNO in Australia and long term competition and pricing pressure with Optus and Telstra
    • Growth and broader acceptance in public cloud solutions is driving growth in the data markets as the corporate market is increasingly consolidating their voice, data and applications traffic

    Vocus FY18 earnings update: Focus on the business segment

    ,
    On 22nd August 2018, Vocus announced its FY18 financial results. Despite revenue and EBITDA increasing slightly, net profit fell 16%. Its SMB product Commander posted a revenue decline of 15%. Vocus needs to take immediate action to make the most of its fixed asset opportunities, acquire larger market share in Enterprise in NSW and VIC, and focus on differentiated products that reduce its dependence on legacy solutions.

    Broadband pricing – more bang for your buck

    As headline price competition continues to remain important, Australian RSPs are looking to other avenues to differentiate their broadband services. Data inclusions, media and bundles are emerging as the next frontier in the battle to capture greater share of the fixed broadband market for Australian RSPs.

    UFB Market to 2020 and beyond –Why the Kiwis are winning…

    For much of its history, New Zealand’s fixed broadband market was dominated by a single incumbent. This is no longer the case. Structural separation of the incumbent, along with the UFB Initiative, have thrown the fixed broadband market wide open, unleashing a competitive retail market that is a win-win for everyone.
