簡單筆記
- 概況: 共有270萬用戶,520萬RGUs,30%是Triple-play (同時使用3種服務)。每一季營收約在US$900mn上下,OCF約US$360mn (OCF margin約為40%),Operating income為$150mn。公司控制Capex占營收比為20%上下。
- Operation:Three company cover different regions, every region has their own demand & supply and competitive landscape in each business.
>CWC- Bahamas and Panama and other Caribbean(LIME brand),>VTR-Chile>LPR-Puerto Rico
We could also view LILAC as a whole and divided by business:
>Fixed line voice (Telephony)>Broadband (Internet, FTTx)>Mobile>Video (Pay-TV)>B2B
- 類比A: 中華電信
業務同樣有: 固網(市話: fixed-line voice、寬頻: broadband)、行動(mobile)、有線電視MOD/IPTV(Video)、企客ICT服務(B2B)、
類比2: 台灣大
台灣大旗下擁有有線電視系統業者(永佳樂、觀天下….)、台灣大寬頻、台灣大哥大上網,但沒有市話。另外較LILAK多了momo電子商務 - If mgmt. is right, the EBITDA of LILAC could grow at 5-10% in the next three years with stronger increase in FCF.
- LILAK成長的邏輯: 外生-EBITDA或OIBDA以high-single digit成長,公司會以同樣的速度增加貸款,這增加的貸款會拿去buyback share。內生-FCF(也就是完成P&E addition等資本支出及利息支出後剩下的錢,成長率為low-single digit) 也會拿去做share buyback。
內生+外生: 整體share-count下降速度會達到low-teen %,強化每股EBITDA/OIBDA的成長速度,從原本的high-single digit大幅上升至20%up。 - Risk:
>股價上升太快→good for investor,但share-count的下降速度就會變慢,EBITDA成長就不會那麼強,市場Rating可能就不會那麼高,股價天花板會比較快看到。
>貸款增加,EV也會上升,所以EV/EBITDA的倍數會自然上升,戴維斯雙擊的效應可能不會像預期的那麼強。 - Share-Buyback: 公司計畫在2019年底總共要回購US$300mn價值的股票,1Q/2Q有提到已完成$41mn。(所以剩下保守算$250mn)。2020年我自己估計回購$150mn。
假設股價上漲導致平均收回價為$30,Share-reduction =13mn share or 7.6% (2.5% annually)。保守估計OCF年化成長為5% (我是覺得沒有很保守啦……),OCF per share will grow at 7-8%。(vs. 黑色面包的17.8% in pessimistic scenario) - 公司net debt為5.6bn (exclu. Minority interest in LPR and C&W), 市值為3.6bn→ EV=9.2bn。
- Company guided 2017 OCF of $1.35bn, my forecast is $1.5bn for 2018 number, suggesting EV/EBITDA (~OCF) of 6.8x/6.1x
- Valuation:
通訊/媒體公司近五年市場交易(併購)乘數約8-10X EBITDA。之前頂新要買中嘉,最後以中嘉EBITDA的9.5倍,約670億元成交。
早期電信三雄估值多給10X,現在溢價較高,約10~13X EBITDA。2015年原本的LILAC要併購C&W時定價為10.7x OCF
歐美的Cable營運商目前trade在約9x 2018 OCF,不過拉美的市場給6x而已 - Some players are cheaper (and bigger) with EV/EBITDA of 4-6x. Could some of them become more attractive deals than LILAC is?
- Bundling:
Liberty global (Europe)的Triple-play占比將近45%,(Single-play, Dual-play則分別為35-40%,15-20%),LILAC在合併CWC之前的Triple-play占比也是超過40%,反觀new LILAC則僅有30% (同時single-pay占比43%),代表CWC這塊還有非常大的成長空間,而管理層應該是有能力逐步提升這個比例。 - 我覺得不錯的點: 這是一個有提價權的公司,他們在1Q和2Q都有漲價,且客戶並沒有跑掉太多。另外公司說一直有在看M&A的標地,但沒有好的物件不會盲目出手。(可能也是因為被CWC嚇到了)
- The market LILAC serve (Carrabean, LatAm……etc.) is not a juicy, nor transparent one. In our mind, those countries have fragile economy and volatile political environment. It increases the risk. (or the risk we feel)
- Cable business always requires heavy capex, those are huge upfront cost, but the payoff never comes to fruition immediately. (or it could be the case never get the money back)
- The business units of LILAC are too fragmented due to the nature of the market and it’s M&A strategy. We can view it as a three groups (by markets) and the question will be “are there really synergies between these groups?”
- And now the cable, TV, mobile…etc. is not a monopoly business anymore. Competition is just there (The company has face severe competition in mobile in Bahamas). Moreover, time has changed. Streaming service maybe another threat now.
- Threat of Nature disaster: The Hurricanes had caused a huge trouble for LPR in 2017, dampen the growth of whole LILAC. The abnormal Hurricanes could be a “Norm” in the following years. This could be a problem
→2nd level thinking: 這些自然災害也會對競爭對手造成損害,而這對跨市場/跨區域、財力較厚的大公司有利(如LILAC),因其抗風險能力較強,小的對手都死掉了那就是獨占/寡占了。 - 所謂ARPU就是 (ARPU-Average Revenue Per User) 表示每個用戶平均貢獻的電信業務收入。這一指標不但反映了一個國家的電信消費水準,也是電信運營業業績的重要表徵之一。ARPU注重的是一個時間段內營運商從每個用戶所得到的利潤。很明顯,高端的用戶越多,ARPU越高。在這個時間段,從營運商的營運情況來看,A R P U值高說明利潤高,這段時間效益好。
就電信業者而言,用戶數與通話量是公司獲利重要關鍵,而ARPU為其衡量的基礎之一。若果有新業者加入後,接續費與專線租金將會有降價空間,行動通話費率也將會調降,ARPU 就會有下降的的趨勢。 - Cable company 都是看 EBITDA
