Positive
+ Better QoQ ARPUs for PayTV and broadband. ARPUs for PayTV and broadband rose 2.5% and 7.1% respectively QoQ. Reduced discounts and promotions helped. Revenue for both expanded QoQ due to their better ARPUs.
Negative
– Mobile its Achilles heel. Without roaming revenue, mobile ARPU dived to a record low. Postpaid ARPU was down 25% YoY. Prepaid subscribers shrank by 108k or 33% YoY. There was less demand with fewer tourist arrivals.
Outlook
We lower revenue by 5%. Our forecast for equipment sales was too bullish. We also incorporate revenue from its new acquisition, Strateq. Our EBITDA is raised by 5% to include government grants and an expected uptick in its broadband and PayTV businesses. Enterprise division should enjoy a gradual recovery as projects resume and economic conditions recover. Separately, the launch of non-standalone 5G has garnered a better-than-expected response. Customers are transitioning faster to 5G phones. Faster speeds, lower latency and bundled content subscription have encouraged take-up by niche customers such as gamers and other heavy-content users.
Maintain NEUTRAL and TP of S$1.24
Our valuation is based on 6x FY20e EV/EBITDA. We exclude other income in our EV/EBITDA valuation as it is non-recurring.
