TPM has flagged a move to more aggressive accounting treatment in capitalising planned mobile expenses. This increases our reported EPS but has no material impact on our free cash flow forecasts or valuation. We expect TPM s capital spend to be double its operating cashflow in FY18 and substantially higher in the next few years as they build out their mobile businesses in AU and SG in an attempt to combat earnings pressure from the NBN. Changing accounting treatment, declining EBITDA, negative free cashflow, rising debt and competitive intensity, see us to retain our Reduce recommendation. Result snapshot Reported EBITDA of A$890.8m was up 5% yoy and 1% ahead of our forecast. Reported EPS was also 1% ahead of our forecast, but the final dividend of 2cps (vs 7.5cps the pcp) was well below. Stronger operating cashflow and lower capex resulted in net debt of A$859m which was lower than we had forecast. TPM reported free cashflow of A$119.4m for FY17 which was slightly less than the A$124.5m it received on divesting non-core VOC shares. Without this divestment, gearing would have increased in FY17. This, combined with TPM s substantial upcoming capex requirements, likely explains the reduction in the final dividend. TPM expanded its debt facility headroom to A$2,385m, in anticipation of financing its substantial planned mobile network build. Noteworthy items Corporate reported 1.8% revenue growth and 4.2% EBITDA growth from FY16 to FY17. This was below our expectations and shows limited traction with regard to accelerating TPM s push into corporate to offset looming NBN margin pressure. Consumer performed better than we had expected with 4.8% revenue and 10.5% EBITDA growth from FY16 to FY17. Subscriber growth continues to slow at +25k in 2H17 (+43k in 1H17). Despite launching an aggressive mobile offering in March 2017, currently as a Vodafone reseller, mobile subscribers declined yoy and hoh, albeit with a 2H17 improvement from TPM. Outlook and forecast changes FY18 guidance is for underlying EBITDA to decline 2-4% to A$800-815m which we think is a solid outcome considering the substantial NBN margin pressures looming. We estimate TPM will spend A$1.2bn on capex in FY18 (including A$595m of Australian mobile spectrum payments which were excluded from TPM s FY18 capex guidance). Net debt will track substantially higher from here. We have technically upgraded our FY18 EPS by 10% but this is a function of TPM s new - and in our view more aggressive - accounting treatment which initially capitalises a large portion of its billion dollar mobile spend. The most important free cash flow item is largely unchanged as is our valuation. Investment view Reduce retained We retain our Reduce recommendation and our price target decreases immaterially from A$4.39 to A$4.30 as we roll forward our valuation. In our view, the key upside and downside risk from TPM relates to its ability to deliver free cash flow and service its substantially increasing debt levels. TPM s substantial capex program sees net debt increase, on our forecasts, towards 2.7x EBITDA in FY19 which is at the upper end of our comfort zone. Increasing competition, increasing debt levels and declining EBITDA due to NBN margin pressure see us retain our Reduce recommendation.

Key points of interest TPM s FY18 capital expenditure guidance does not include the additional A$595m of capex related to the purchase of the Australian 700MHz spectrum (announced in April this year).

Based on some basic assumptions (and excluding dividends and other cash flow items) we could expect TPM to generate free cash flow of A$645.9m in FY18 (vs EBITDA guidance of A$800-815m). Figure 3: FY18 EBITDA to free cashflow bridge (mid-point of guidance) SOURCES: MORGANS, COMPANY REPORTS TPM s FY18 underlying EBITDA guidance of A$800-815m implies a 2.4-4.2% decline on the pcp. The following chart depicts TPM s FY18 EBITDA bridge, with growth in the underlying business being impacted by significant NBN margin erosion. TPM noted the A$60m relates to 400-500k subs moving onto the NBN.

This, when combined with margin pressure from the NBN, means in our view that NPAT, EPS and free cashflow will all decline in the coming years. At its FY17 result TPM flagged a change in accounting treatment which will see it capitalise interest expense related to its investment in spectrum and mobile network capex incurred during the build phase. Cash costs will be unchanged, and this is in our view, aggressive accounting treatment that is not reflective of the cash generation of the business. Subsequent to FY17-end, TPM increased its total committed debt facilities in order to finance its planned mobile network builds. This involved an increase in debt facilities by A$750m to A$2,385m. TPM now has a weighted average tenure in its debt facilities of 4.5 years. TPM noted that the capital expenditure requirements for the Australian mobile network build are in line with initial forecasts (A$600m over two to three years). This number excludes the additional A$1.3bn to be paid for spectrum over the next three years. Management noted on the call that they expect the mobile network to be trialled in mid-2018 in some cluster locations. TPM noted that the Singapore project remains on track to achieve nationwide coverage by December 2018. Capital expenditure projects (SG$200-300m over two years) remain on track with initial assumptions. TPM noted that it does not expect to recognise amortisation on its spectrum licenses until the related network is ready for its intended, commercial use. It is expected that no amortisation of the spectrum licenses acquired in FY17 will occur in FY18. Similarly, interest expense from direct investment in spectrum and mobile network capex incurred during the build phase will be capitalised as part of the mobile network build cost. 4

EBITDA 0.6 1.7 1.6 0.8 1.4 1.0 1.0 SOURCES: MORGANS, COMPANY REPORTS Consumer broadband revenue increased 10.2% to A$1376.8m. This was attributed to a 4.6% increase in average ARPU (influenced by an increased proportion of NBN subs at a higher ARPU) and a 4.6% increase in annual subscribers (average) for FY17. Fixed voice declined 16.3% to A$165.4m, resulting from declines in demand for voice products (including mobile substitution). Corporate revenues increased 2% on the pcp, with the segment adversely impacted by some movement in FTTB subscribers moving from wholesale to retail customers in 1H17, which had a negative A$4m impact on the Corporate segment in 2H17 (and a corresponding benefit in the consumer segment). Both consumer and corporate EBITDA margins increased 100bps to 30% and 42%, respectively. Figure 8: Subscriber trends illustrate how competitive it is out there SOURCES: MORGANS,, COMPANY REPORTS The relationship between more attractively priced plans and subscriber growth seems to be weakening as TPM struggles to convert mobile plans (offered at very attractive rates) into mobile subscriber growth. In our view this illustrates that consumers are not just worried about getting the lowest price. 5

Figure 9: TPM s aggressively price mobile plan yielded little traction (subscriber numbers declined hoh despite a similar version to this being launched in March 2017) Forecast changes SOURCES: MORGANS,, COMPANY REPORTS We have followed TPM and moved to more aggressive accounting treatment which capitalises a portion of TPM s large mobile investment. This alone results in upgrades to our reported EPS forecasts. Free cash flow is largely unchanged as is our valuation. Our valuation remains weighted 50/50 DCF/EV/EBITDA and has decreased slightly on lower EBITDA and higher net debt.

Price target $4.39 $4.30-2.1% SOURCES: MORGANS, COMPANY REPORTS TPM s mobile ambitions in Australia and Singapore require a very large investment, which has the potential to make or potentially break, the company. We forecast capex at nearly double operating cashflow for the next few years (since the NBN negatively impacts EBITDA and cashflow). This means TPM s gearing profile goes much higher and its free cashflow is non-existent, on our forecasts. In our view, NBN margin erosion and the ability to offset this through cost reductions (and over time to some extent TPM s new mobile network) remains the key upside and downside risk for TPM. TPM has done a commendable job in reducing costs and simplifying acquired businesses (Pipe Networks, AAPT and iinet). Two of these three businesses were TPM s key suppliers so it was vertically integrating. iinet however is a predominately consumer facing business with higher customer advocacy so TPM needs to tread more carefully with respect to integration and cost out. We note that iinet Broadband subscriber numbers declined by 11,000 in FY17 and TPM s market share continues to track lower in the NBN (versus its legacy market share). 6
