Telefónica’s acquisition of 50% of Brasilcel
Jueves, Julio 29, 2010
Madrid (Revista E) - Telefónica’s acquisition of 50% of Brasilcel, the 60% holder of Brazilian cellphone operator Vivo, consolidated the Spanish company’s grip on a key emerging market where the local regulator Anatel recorded a penetration rate of 91.33% with an extra 1.64 new mobile subscribers in January.
Under the terms of the deal Portugal Telecom will sell its 29.3% Brasilcel stake to Telefónica for EUR 7.5bn after a long battle which saw the Spanish operator sweeten its offer from EUR 5.7bn to EUR 6.5bn and then again to EUR 7.15bn to ward off rivals such as Mexico’s Telmex. While Brazil’s regulatory authorities have not yet given their formal approval both parties expect to conclude the deal on time and Telefónica has already spoke of the positive impact the deal will have on its earnings and cash flow generation from the first year. In particular the combination of the Vivo with Telefónica’s Brazilian business Telesp, the formerly state-owned Telecomunicações de São Paulo which was privatized in 1998, will make Telefónica the largest integrated operator in Brazil by customer numbers (69.2 million to March 2010), revenue/OIBDA (11.8 and 4.1 billion euros in 2009, respectively), and profitability (OIBDA margin 2009: 35%). Though the final price tag has raised some eyebrows noone can argue the deal does not achieve Telefónica’s stated objective of “reinforcing its growth potential in Brazil” and the company hopes the country will pay a key role in raising dividend payouts.
