VODAFONE GREECE AGREES TO ACQUIRE 72.7% OF HELLAS ONLINE
Vodafone today announces that Vodafone Greece has agreed to acquire 72.7% of the share capital of Hellas Online SA (HOL) from the Intracom Group (Intracom) and World Equities Investments Holdings SA (WEI) for a total cash consideration of 72.7m (the Transaction). Completion of the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including antitrust clearance by the relevant competent authorities. The Transaction values the fully diluted equity of HOL at 100m and is equivalent to an enterprise value of 311m including HOLs adjusted net debt of 211m1.
Principal benefits of the transaction
Acceleration of Vodafones unified communications strategy in Greece HOL is a leading provider of broadband and fixed-line telephony in Greece with around 519,000 customers as at 31 December 2013, representing a market share of approximately 11%2. The Transaction builds on the successful track record of commercial cooperation between Vodafone Greece and HOL since 2009, when Vodafone Greece became an 18.5% shareholder, and accelerates Vodafones unified communications strategy in Greece. The Transaction creates a leading integrated telecom operator in Greece with the number two market position by revenues in both fixed-line and mobile communications3. The combined company will have the scale, management expertise, products and services and funding needed to compete more effectively in the Greek telecommunications market.
Cost and capex savings
Vodafone expects to achieve cost and capex synergies with an annual run-rate of 24m before integration costs by the third full year post completion, equivalent to a net present value of approximately 135m after integration costs. These synergies are expected to be realised from sharing network and IT infrastructure, savings on marketing and bill collections, and rationalisation of overlapping functions.
The Transaction values HOL at a multiple of 4.5x 2013A EBITDA and 9.8x 2013A OpFCF, which is equivalent to a multiple of 5.6x 2013A OpFCF adjusted for cost and capex synergies4.
1 Adjusted net debt of 211m based on reported net debt as at 31 December 2013 of 157.3m adjusted for 0.7m of derivative financial instruments, 43.1m of related party financing and 10.0m preference shares issued in December 2011
2 Based on Vodafone customer estimates as at 31 December 2013
3 Based on Vodafone revenue estimates for the year ended 31 December 2013
4 Multiples based on an enterprise value of 311m, 2013A EBITDA of 68.4m, 2013A OpFCF of 31.7m and run-rate cost/capex savings of 24m
HOL management and employees
Vodafone views the management and employees of HOL as important to the future success of the enlarged company. HOLs employee base would also benefit from greater and wider career opportunities available in a global business such as Vodafone.
Financing
Vodafone will finance the transaction from its existing cash resources and committed but undrawn bank facilities.
Additional information
For the twelve months ended 31 December 2013, HOL reported total revenue of 227.4m, EBITDA of 68.4m and capex of 36.7m. As at 31 December 2013, HOL reported gross assets of 281.1m.
Vodafone Greece currently owns an 18.4% stake in Hellas Online. The Transaction is expected to complete in calendar Q4 2014, following which Vodafone Greece would own 91.2% of HOL and be under an obligation to extend a mandatory takeover offer for the remaining shares in HOL.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch is acting as financial adviser to Vodafone in connection with the Transaction.
