Telstra Corporation Limited '02/03 Third Quarter Market Update
Telstra reports pleasing trading trends in third quarter
Overview
Quarter ended 31 March 2003: underlying1 sales revenue increased 2.6%2 to \$4,824 million, driven by PSTN rebalanced products, internet and IP products, mobiles and Sensis. This was partly offset by a decline in controlled entity revenue. Total underlying1 revenue increased 2.5% to \$4,871 million.
Underlying1 domestic3 sales revenue increased 3.8% to \$4,554 million.
Reported sales revenue increased 2.7% to \$4,965 million, assisted by the inclusion of TelstraClear. Reported total revenue, which includes asset sales, increased 2.1% to \$5,026 million.
Fiscal year to date: underlying1 sales revenue increased 0.8%, with total underlying1 revenue increasing 0.5%. Underlying1 domestic3 sales revenue increased 2.2%.
Reported sales revenue increased 2.2% with a total reported revenue increase of 6.0% due to the inclusion of TelstraClear and asset sales.
The following commentary relates to the underlying1 revenues which management believe best reflect operating trends.
PSTN Re-balanced Products
PSTN products subject to price rebalancing grew 3.0% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, and 2.3% to \$5,960 million fiscal year to date.
- $\bullet$ Basic access revenues grew 8.6% for the quarter, reflecting the continuation of access price rebalancing. The increase in basic access fees has generally been offset by lower local call charges and some capped long distance calls. Basic access revenues grew 9.6% to \$2,340 million for the fiscal year to date.
- Local call revenue declined 0.3% for the quarter, stabilising after a second quarter decline of 6.6%, primarily due to the removal of the five free local calls promotion. The fiscal year to date decline of 6.1% to \$1,180 million was a result of price rebalancing, lower call volumes and the migration to other products such as ISDN, internet, mobile and fixed to mobile.
- PSTN value added services increased 3.0% for the quarter, driven by increases across calling number display, call return, and messagebank products. PSTN value added services grew 4.6% to \$206 million fiscal year to date.
- National long distance revenue declined 6.2% for the quarter, due to continued strong competition and the effects of rebalancing. While volumes remained relatively flat, the effective price paid by customers decreased as a result of lowering the cap on capped calls and the higher take up of plans such as Homeline Plus. National long distance revenue declined 5.2% to \$870 million fiscal year to date.
- Fixed to mobile revenue grew 5.9% for the quarter, with volumes increasing 7.6% due to continued growth in the number of mobile services in the Australian market. Fixed to mobile revenue continues to grow strongly with growth of 6.3% to \$1,128 million fiscal year to date.
- International direct revenue has declined 8.6% for the quarter, reflecting the continued $\bullet$ competitive price pressure on calls and a 5.9% decline in international direct minutes. International direct revenue has declined 7.5% to \$236 million fiscal year to date.
Mobiles
- Total Mobile revenues grew by 5.0% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003.
- Mobile services in operation (SIOs) increased in the third quarter by 240,000, resulting in fiscal year to date growth of 9.5% to 6.3 million. These numbers are net of the 464,000 prepaid SIOs that were deactivated fiscal year to date because the recharge period had expired. Mobile telephone minutes increased 9.4% in the quarter.
- Mobile handset revenue has increased to \$103 million primarily as a result of the move away $\bullet$ from handset subsidies with a third quarter growth of 106.0%, and fiscal year to date growth of 62.5%.
- Mobile Services revenue declined 1.4% for the quarter, due to a range of factors including: $\bullet$
- the change in the mobiles business model replacing handset subsidies with the introduction of loualty bonuses which reduced the revenue line by \$28 million;
- increased utilisation of included (free or discounted) calls by customers;
- $\bullet$ the increasing proportion of prepaid customers, comprising 64.6% of the net increase in SIOs for the quarter.
The above factors were partly offset by:
strong positive trends across VAS products, including mobile data. Data revenues now comprise 10.2% of mobile service revenues for the quarter, compared to 6.8% for the quarter in the prior year. Short message service (SMS) increased 58.6% to \$86 million in the quarter ended 31 March 2003, driven by 42.0% growth in the number of messages to 380 million.
This results in a fiscal year to date decline in mobile services of 0.4% to \$2,407 million. Mobile services growth is being addressed by the introduction of new mobile plans.
Data and Internet
Total Data and Internet revenues grew by 5.4% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, driven by:
- . Data revenue growth of 7.8% which is mainly attributable to an unusually low third quarter in the prior year. Data revenues have trended consistently for the last four quarters.
- Internet and IP increased 28.0% in the quarter, primarily due to the continued strong fiscal year to date growth in broadband subscribers8 of 125.8%, and narrowband subscribers of 7.0%. Internet and IP fiscal year to date revenue growth is 36.7% to \$581 million.
- ISDN declined 10.3% for the quarter primarily due to the closure of the old ISDN platform, $\bullet$ resulting in migration to the new, lower yielding platform and other products such as data and internet and IP. This resulted in a fiscal year to date revenue decline of 8.7% to \$723 million. ISDN access lines remain steady.
Sensis (Advertising & Directories)
Sensis revenues increased 19.0% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, driven by the early issue of some regional Yellow Pages books this year. The launching of new print features in the Yellow PagesTM, the split of residential and business customers in the White PagesTM, and strong growth across online and electronic products also contributed to the growth. Sensis revenue increased 7.6% to \$944 million fiscal year to date.
Intercarrier Services
Intercarrier services revenue increased 4.0% for the quarter, driven by:
- increased volumes in both mobiles and PSTN/ISDN originating/terminating traffic; $\bullet$
- $\bullet$ increased SMS interconnect volumes;
- increased CDMA roaming volumes;
- partly offset by a decline in wholesale leased transmission due to excess capacity within the $\bullet$ industru:
resulting in fiscal year to date revenue growth of 4.3% to \$877 million.
Inbound Calling Products (e.g. Freecall 1800, Priority 13/1300)
Inbound revenue declined 13.5% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, primarily due to the continued loss of customers, and competitive price pressure following the introduction of Inbound Number Portability. Fiscal year to date revenue declined 15.5% to \$372 million.
Various Controlled Entities
Underlying1 various controlled entities revenue declined 42.3% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, primarily due to:
- the Vietnam and Cambodia Business Co-operation Contract (BCC) revenue sharing $\bullet$ arrangement ending in March 2002 as expected, resulting in a decline in revenues of \$20 million; and
- the inclusion of Transend and Argent revenues of \$16 million in the quarter ending 31 March $\bullet$ 2002 when Telstra consolidated Keycorp. This revenue is now treated as Data revenue.
Hong Kong CSL
In local currency (HK\$), revenue increased 3.1% for the quarter ended 31 March 2003, reflecting increased handset sales and data revenue. Fiscal year to date revenues declined 3.9% representing the economic down turn in Hong Kong with reductions in mobile services revenue, SIOs and ARPU's. Australian dollar revenues declined 6.9% to \$243 million in the quarter, with the additional impact of the exchange rates contributing approximately \$36 million to the revenue decline. This is currently offset by favourable exchange rate movements across the Telstra Group. HK CSL continues to successfully manage for profitability and cash flows.
Other Revenue
Other revenue declined 7.8% for the quarter, driven by lower government tender revenue, particularly the Untimed Local Call Project. Revenue under this project was structured so that 53% of revenues were recognised in 01/02, and 23% in 02/03. Other revenue for the fiscal year to date declined 22.9% to \$158 million.
Service
Telstra's service levels continue to improve across Australia for our Urban, Rural and Remote customers as evident in the recent Australian Communications Authority report for the December 2002 quarter.
Outlook
- There is no change to the previous full year quidance foreshadowing similar underlying EBIT $\bullet$ and revenue figures to the previous fiscal year.
- Core Operating Capital expenditure is tracking below the levels for the same period last year with quidance on expenditure remaining around \$3.3 billion.
- The company continues to generate strong free cash flow from working capital and $\bullet$ expenditure management.
